Course overview

The aim of the module is to teach students how to use the features of the C++ programming language in the context of computer game development.
This module continues the modules Programming and Data Structures and Algorithms, and all three modules provide students with knowledge and skills in the field of programming in the C++ programming language. The skills learned in this module will significantly contribute to the development of the student as a professional in the respective fields and will help the student in programming in the computer game development tool Unreal.
The module is taught in the programming language C++ and in the computer game development tool Unreal. The module knowledge check is based on individual student projects.

Content

Students will learn:
• object-oriented concepts and their application in the C++ programming language
• generic programming in the programming language C++
• use macros in the C++ programming language
• the most important design patterns (Singleton, Factory, Observer, etc.) and their implementation in the C++ programming language
• use built-in classes (Actor, Pawn, Character) to implement functionality in the operating system.
