Information

Aims, contents and method of the course

The course teaches the basics of the Vulkan API. Participants learn about mathematical foundations including coordinate transforms, WorldViewProjection matrix, orientation and Quaternions, Scene Graphs, Vulkan API, GLSL, textures, mip-mapping, normal maps, shadowing, deferred rendering, etc. After the course participants are able to create their own render engine and use it to program a game.

Assessment and permitted materials

Every week a new programming task will be handed out that should be finished and uploaded into the e-learning system until the next lecture. In the last quarter participants use the weekly tasks to contruct a render engine and program a working game with it. Weekly tasks account for 70% of the final mark, and the engine and game 30%. However, the engine and game are mandatory, not finishing them results in a negative grade.
Gradings are computed from the weighted sum:
S>90% : Sehr Gut (1)
S>80% : Gut (2)
S>70% : Befriedigend (3)
S>59% : Genügend (4)
S<60% Nicht Genügend (5)

Minimum requirements and assessment criteria

Basic knowledge of C++.
