Introduction
This course teaches advanced techniques for building and shipping core game systems. It covers engine architecture, performance optimization, scalable networking, and production tooling. Lessons focus on practical patterns you can use in real projects and on reducing iteration and runtime risks. Material targets cross-platform constraints and common production bottlenecks.
Objectives
1. Implement high-performance rendering, animation, and physics subsystems using modern APIs and data-driven patterns.
2. Profile and optimize CPU, GPU, and memory to meet target frame budgets and platform constraints.
3. Design and implement scalable client-server and deterministic netcode suitable for competitive and co-op play.
4. Build editor tools, asset pipelines, and hot-reload workflows to shorten iteration cycles.
5. Apply modern C++ and scripting practices to produce maintainable, testable, and portable game code.
