| Module Summary | This module provides students with not only an introduction to a language suitable for game development, but also a fast-track course to enable students to become competent developers. |
|---|---|
| Aims | To equip students with an understanding of the main aspects of a programming language. To ensure students can create their own programs and maintain such programs. |
| Intended Knowledge Outcomes | - Manage memory - Create and use data structures - Use condition statements, loops and functions - Utilise concurrency when appropriate - Create programs that handle run-time errors - Use appropriate techniques for debugging and analysing existing algorithms - Design programs using a well known methodology |
| Intended Skill Outcomes | - Be able to design and create programs - Be able to identify appropriate techniques for analysing the efficiency of programs - Be able to realise inappropriate usage of programming languages |
| Syllabus | The syllabus covers: memory and pointers, data structures, loops and conditions, functions, concurrency, error handling, debugging, algorithm analysis, and methodology of program development. |
