Additional topics are accessibility, performance considerations and narrative design. After the course participants understand all major concepts behind designing interactive games and are able to design and implement their own ideas into game prototypes.
Assessment and permitted materials

A semester project with a presentation at the end of the semester.
A semester project with a presentation at the end of the semester.
Minimum requirements and assessment criteria
The final mark is calculated based on the final presentation of the semester project (50%) and the three assignments (50%).To achieve a positive grading students
- need to reach at least 50% of the assignments and
- need to reach at least 50% of the semester project.Gradings are computed from the weighted sum:
89% <= P <= 100% Sehr Gut (1)
76% <= P < 89% Gut (2)
63% <= P < 76% Befriedigend (3)
50% <= P < 63% Genügend (4)
0% <= P < 50% Nicht Genügend (5)
