HurtballJanuary 14, 2019 CSE 125 – Lecture 1 – Introduction 4HistoryHistoryThis course is modeled after a UW courseCreated by John Zahorjan (UW prof) and Dennis Cannady (MS program manager (VisualBasic))Dennis was the original inspiration for the goal & style of the course, John chose gamesI was the TA for the first two classes (’97, ’98)»(10 years already??)UCSDHave taught a version at UCSD since 2001Projects are on the Web (for those hosted here at UCSD)Some promos on Web site, too:»UCSD TV segment, FoxNews, short promoJanuary 14, 2019 CSE 125 – Lecture 1 – Introduction 5Software System Design Software System Design and Implementationand ImplementationWhy isn’t this course titled, “Game Design and Implementation”?There are many other factors to game design that we will not touch on (e.g., AI, playability, etc.) »More on this laterBy the end of the course, you’ll hopefully realize that what you learned in doing the project will apply to any large software project that:Is distributed, has performance constraints, has real-time constraints, has actual users other than the developers, etc.The game provides the motivation :-)Another perspective: This course is an opportunity to apply everything you’ve learned in the majorJanuary 14, 2019 CSE 125 – Lecture 1 – Introduction 6Class FormatClass FormatLecturesFirst week: Intro + tips and techniquesGroup meetingsOnce a week meetings (30 mins) with us in labGroups and individuals will submit progress reportsWe will discuss progress, problems, plans, changesWe can fit schedules»Try to use class periods»Try to be contiguous across groups»We’ll organize by emailGuest lecturesSony Online Entertainment, Sony Computer Entertainment (Playstation), Kalloc Studios, Rockstar San Diego, PixelActiveJanuary 14, 2019 CSE 125 – Lecture 1 – Introduction 7Class SketchClass SketchSpecification, schedule, milestones: 1.5 weeks (1-2)Preliminary development: 2 weeks

weekGuest lectures sprinkled inJanuary 14, 2019 CSE 125 – Lecture 1 – Introduction 8Your “Final”Your “Final”We will have a seminar, open to the public, where each team will demo their gameFour players drawn from the group and the crowdMakes you look like totally awesome cool hackersBut it’s also “for real”  everyone will be watching!»(Last thing you want is a blue screen of death…)Friday afternoon of last week of classAfternoon of Friday, June 6Written project report due at end of finals weekLow key, hard part is already over withJanuary 14, 2019 CSE 125 – Lecture 1

XP, DevStudio.NET, svnMilkShape3D, 3D Studio MaxDirectX 9.0c (should be latest version)You should be able to work from home, tooWinXP/Vista from MS»Not sure whether Vista is a good idea or not DevStudio.NET from MSNote: MS software for personal use, NOT for resaleJanuary 14, 2019 CSE 125 – Lecture 1 – Introduction 11Lab UseLab UseConsider the lab your homeBut don’t move out of your apartment (it’s happened…)Lab is dedicated for CSE 125Front door locked (but fire door in back is not)Only CSE 125 accounts active on machinesLocked cabinet, only accessible by folks in the classStore books, controllers, etc.Please lock upJanuary 14, 2019 CSE 125 – Lecture 1 – Introduction 12Books and ControllersBooks and ControllersMany books in the lab lockerList is on course Web siteHardwareLogitech and Xbox360 controllers (force feedback)Portable speakers»But expect to use headphones much of the timeMicrophoneI can always buy moreLet me know if there are some we should getJanuary 14, 2019 CSE 125 – Lecture 1 – Introduction 13ArtArtObtaining artTroll the WebThere is artwork for many games out thereUsually in some kind of “standard” format»Produced from modeling softwareCan usually load directly into game using DirectX functionsIf not, look at the code in the game editors to help figure out how to manipulateAlex can provide many tips, tooFind an artistic friendSeriously…has happened successfully in the pastJanuary 14, 2019 CSE 125 – Lecture 1 – Introduction 14Speaking of Art…Speaking of Art…January 14, 2019 CSE 125 – Lecture 1 – IntroductionAnd More

isn’tAsk before using…just takes an email, and people are usually flattered to have their stuff usedAlso, note that you own the copyright on the code that you write – not UCSD Because you pay for your educationNot the same for grad students, staff, or facultyYou can do whatever you want with your
