Using Game Development as Integral Part of Course Dr. Ernie Ferguson Northwest Missouri State University

CCSC: CP 2007 Overview Trends in integration of Gaming and Computer Science Video Game major Concentration or minor Course(s) in Game Development Projects in regular CS courses Overview of Gaming in upper division/graduate course

CCSC: CP 2007 Overview of Course With Game Development Projects Component-Based Software Engineering 25 Second-semester graduate students and 1 undergraduate all but the undergraduate were foreign students Used C# to develop components Emphasis on the architecture and reusable components

CCSC: CP 2007 Four Programs Using Tic Tac Toe Decided on this game to simplify the logic Emphasis was on the architecture Interspersed with three other projects for variety 1. 2-player on one computer Console & GUI User Interfaces 2. Added 1-player version Console & GUI 3. Built Web User Interface using ASP.Net and C# Reused Logic Layer 1 player & 2 player options 4. Marshaling of objects for Client/Server 1 player and 2 player versions Current Assignment

CCSC: CP 2007 Results Kept logic simple to focus on architecture and component interfaces Students readily understand specs Spent too much time on assembly interface design Next time would spend more time helping with logic layer design Consider addition of option -- computer versus computer

CCSC: CP 2007 SIGCSE 2007-Papers Engagement via Games -- Session A Games First Approach to Introductory Programming A Multi-Expertise Application-Driven Class at Purdue Increasing Student Retention in Computer Science through Research Programs for Undergraduates Computer Games as a Motivation for Design Patterns Taking Students Out for a Ride: Using a Board Game to Teach Graphic Theory

CCSC: CP 2007 SIGCSE 2007-Posters Using Games While Keeping Traditional Outcomes in CS1-3 Using Blender and the Blender Gamekit with Python in CS2

CCSC: CP 2007 SIGCSE 2007-Birds of Feather Games across the Curriculum: Can We Quantify Their Effectiveness

CCSC: CP 2007 SIGCSE 2007-Workshops Programming with Greenfoot (Or: Introducing Java Via Games and Simulations)

CCSC: CP 2007 SIGCSE 2007-Vendor Sessions Gaming in CS by Microsoft XNA Game Development by Microsoft

CCSC: CP 2007 Microsoft Academic Days , 2007, and planned for 2008 Mix of video game developers and high education faculty Disney Caribbean cruise 2006 only invited papers 2007 mix of refereed papers and invited speakers Charles River Media published four best papers in Journal Of Game Development

CCSC: CP 2007 Journal of Game Development Published quarterly All articles are peer-reviewed Hopefully will help build respect for gaming research Help make this an area of serious research

CCSC: CP 2007 Questions related to integrated assignments Games are thought to increase motivation. Do they? Are we turning some students off by overuse of games? Can we assess the actual improvement in student learning because of game assignments?
