Creating a games class
Shannon Duvall · 2009
Adding a games class to a traditional computer science curriculum is becoming a popular way to attract and motivate students to consider computing. However, there are many decisions to be made when adding such a course to an existing Computer Science curriculum. What are the goals of the course? What platform and editor should be used? How should the course be administered? This paper gives a walkthrough of creating a games class that fits in a traditional curriculum, based on experience of creating the CSC 420 course at Elon University.
