Entry requirements
Note: Admission requirements for non-programme students usually also include admission requirements for the programme and threshold requirements for progression within the programme, or corresponding.
Prerequisites
Programming Skills. Computer graphics. Linear Algebra. Fundamental physics.Intended learning outcomes
The course aims to provide knowledge of the technology required for
to make technologically advanced computer games, interactive
training systems and simulators. Students learn the
key algorithms, and study a chosen subject deeper in a project.
Course content
Computer Graphics: Stencil buffer. Shadows. HDR. Bump mapping. Stereoscopic display.
Physics: Kinetics and kinematics. Rigid bodies. Deformable bodies. Animation. Skinning.
AI: Search, behavior, state machines.
Networks: Principles for network games. Netlag.
Other: Quaternions for rotation. GPU computing.
Teaching and working methods
The course lasts over the whole semester in two periods, the first of which is devoted to lectures and laboratory work, and the other to the project.
Examination
| PRA1 | Project | 3 credits | U, 3, 4, 5 |
| LAB1 | Laboratory work with tests | 3 credits | U, G |
Theory from the lectures will be examined with small exams at the start of each laboration.

Regulations (apply to LiU in its entirety)
The university is a government agency whose operations are regulated by legislation and ordinances, which include the Higher Education Act and the Higher Education Ordinance. In addition to legislation and ordinances, operations are subject to several policy documents. The Linköping University rule book collects currently valid decisions of a regulatory nature taken by the university board, the vice-chancellor and faculty/department boards.
LiU’s rule book for education at first-cycle and second-cycle levels is available at http://styrdokument.liu.se/Regelsamling/Innehall/Utbildning_pa_grund-_och_avancerad_niva.
