By the end of the quarter, students will have created three rapid-prototype games and gained the proper skills to make games on their own. Prerequisites: This course uses the Unity Engine, which uses the C# programming language. Because of this, you should be familiar with programming at the level of CS106A or the AP Computer Science exam.
