Learning, Teaching and Assessment (LTA) Approach: |
Learning & Teaching methods including their alignment to LOsBlended approach within lab-based practicals, tutorials and lectures. Lab work supported by VLE resources highlighting discussion and reflection points, with further directed study. Labs supported by case study work, with specific games implemented. Students are encouraged to collaborate during these sessions. Lectures are one hour, and will cover the design, development and technologies involved in physics-based development, linked to the individual technologies covered in the practical sessions. Lectures are supported by directed study and discussion points within Moodle. Guest lecturers from the research community and members of industry will also occur providing the students with insight into the workings of the game industry. The tutorials cover the fundamental mathematics and physics underpinning physics-based simulation programming.The lab based practical sessions are aligned with LOs 1, 2 and 3. The practical sessions provide the necessary hands-on skills required for games development and in particular the focus shall be upon the development of a real world physics simulation prototype. These skills are demonstrated via the practical coursework.The lectures are designed to align with LOs 1 and 2. The lectures provide a broad understanding of different technologies in physics, such as rigid bodies, particles and cloth effects.The tutorial sessions align with LO 4. The tutorials cover the fundamental mathematics required for physics-based development.
