Completion of the following required courses with a grade of C or better. These courses may also be slotted as electives for degree requirements. (12 credit hours): • CS 3260 - Mobile Development for the iPhone Credits: (4) • CS 3270 - Mobile Development for Android Credits: (4) • CS 3630 - Rich Internet Application Development Credits: (4) Course Descriptions - CS Department of Computer Science CS 1010 CA - Introduction to Interactive Entertainment Credits: (3) Typically taught: Fall [Full Sem, Online] Spring [Full Sem, Online] Summer [Online] This course examines and analyzes the history, philosophy, and impact of digital entertainment (video and computer games along with simulations) on an individual and society. Students take a critical look at the artistic, but also the cultural, economic and social aspects of this expressive medium. Students imagine and articulate their own ideas and work through a series of projects helping them understand the creative challenges behind interactive entertainment design. Implications of certain values embedded in games will be discussed. Elements of the ethical code of conduct for a game creator will be formulated. The issue of balancing individual creativity vs. socio-cultural impact will also be discussed. Students will be required to play video games outside of the regularly scheduled class times. A lab fee is required for this class.
