Go beyond the Start screen! A specialization in Video Game Programming will give you the opportunity to look under the hood and see what makes games tick. Get your hands dirty, program a simple game for the computer or mobile devices. See for yourself how 3-D graphics, artificial intelligence, and collision detection work. Hear and meet guest speakers from the video game industry, and learn about the process of making games, both development and production. After the completion of this specialization, you'll be able to talk the talk with game developers.
