    Pedagogic approaches

    Analyze -> think -> work -> solve -> show

    Student's schedule and workload

    Between 1st November 2021 (Week 45) and 17 December 2021 (Week 51)

    Mondays from 9:00 to 12:00 in Auditorium
    Tuesdays. 4 hours own work
    Wednesdays: 4 hours own work
    Thursdays: from 8:00 to 12:00 in room C3031 (needs to be confirmed)
    Fridays: 4 hours own work

    The used hours are approximately 135 which is equivalent to 5 ECTs

    Content scheduling

    The course occurs during a 7 week period (from 2.11.2020 until 18.2, weeks 45 - 51) and it is divided in 7 blocks.
    The blocks and their correspoing goals are:

    1.Tools
    Learn basics related to the use of Unity to solve Physics in games
    Understand connection between UI and hardcore coding

    2. Cinematics
    Use elemental physics equations to model different types of objects motion
    Learn verification methods to test the correctness of the solution

    3. Collisions
    Understand frequent algorithms applied for collisions and avoidance of tunneling effect
    Learn about changes of trajectories and velocities using collision principles

    4. Sniper
    Improve knowledge on projectile trajectories when considering physical effects like air resistance and air drag
    Learn to use databases and second order equation fitting to empirical data

    5. Acoustics
    Learn basics of sound propagation and transmission in open and close spaces
    Learn tools for immersive 3D-audio modelling in Unity

    6. Fluids (To be still decided - possible changes might apply)
    Understand basics about smoke and flames propagation
    Learn the use of shaders and other modelling tools for visually appealing representation of flames and smoke

    7. Demo
    Improve oral and visual presentation skills when pitching your game
