Game Design and Development Curriculum Some students at College of DuPage will not only be playing games in class but designing them as well. All with their instructor’s approval. That’s because C.O.D. is unveiling new computer game design and development courses to teach students the skills needed to enter the entertainment and “serious” game industries. Game Design and two new courses, Game Development I (2-D game creation) and Game Development II (3-D game creation), were offered during the fall 2006 semester. During the spring semester 2007, these classes have been introduced: Game Programming with C++, Simulation and Serious Game Design, and Cross-Platform Game Development. Students should consult the online Class Schedule for courses under Computer Information Systems. For information about the game courses, visit this web site: www.cod.edu/people/faculty/mullan.
