The 2D game engine framework development is the core of the engine for all of the future 2D game development. The students will create this from scratch, and it will be their  own 2D game engine. The second part of the course, the students will learn how to program 2D game components through variety of the game genres in Direct3D 11 and Nokia Qt SDK. By the end of the course, the students should have a couple of game demo or near complete to show case.

We will be completely switching over to our online game school platform once it's stable and ready to use to serve as a centralize communication and a fun way to deliver course information in an online game environment, and it will be available to the public as none students as well. For now, only admitted students will get access to it as they will be helping us to test the platform and such.
