Abstract

This case study discusses the incorporation of game development throughout the Daniel Webster College computer science curriculum. During the freshman year all computer science majors develop complex games in C#.net while participating in an instructional game motif method we call the GM method. This freshman educational method combines agile software engineering techniques with an inquiry based, neo-Socratic classroom. The GM method provides freshmen with the core skills necessary to develop complex games throughout their college career. This freshman program of study is followed by more traditional project courses which begin with an encryption system project in the sophomore year. XNA 2-D and XNA 3-D game development soon follow and a C++ game engine development capstone project is undertaken in the senior year.
