Description

The subject is designed for profiles of technology-oriented students (developer profile) who want to delve into the programming of games and the most advanced languages. The student will learn to program with the C ++ language and through this, will understand the concepts of memory management and other characteristics of object-oriented programming. With this, the student will deepen and consolidate the concepts of programming seen throughout the degree. Projects will be created directly on Visual Studio without any other engine or intermediate engine, thus giving a view of the code and its organization at a lower level.

The sessions will be mainly theoretical where the concepts will be presented with practical examples. In order to achieve the knowledge of the subject, several practical exercises will be evaluated on the one hand during the course, together with an individual final practice and a theoretical exam. 

The subject is contextualized within the branch of video game development. It is related to the subjects of game development, game engines, programming with interpreted languages ​​and advanced graphic programming (optional).

Evaluation system

The grade of each student will be calculated following the following percentages:

A1. Exercise in class: Turing machine - 5%

A2. Exercise at home: Human Resource Machine - 5%

A3. Exercises at Home: Perfect Numbers - 2.5%

A4. Exercises at home: Pascal Triangle - 2.5%

A5. Individual Work: Raining Letters - 10% 

A6. Individual Work: Snake - 10% 

A7. Final Practice - 35%

A8. Final Exam - 30%

Final grade = A1 0,05 + A2 0,05 + A3 0,025 + A4 0,025 + A5 0,10 + A6 0,10 + A7 0,35 + A8 0,30

Considerations:

  • It is necessary to obtain a mark higher than 5 in the final exam to pass the subject.
  • An activity not delivered or delivered late and without justification (court summons or medical matter) counts as a 0.
  • It is the responsibility of the student to prevent plagiarism in all its forms. In the case of detecting a plagiarism, regardless of its scope, in some activity it will correspond to have a note of 0. In addition, the professor will communicate to the Head of Studies the situation so that measures applicable in matter of sanctioning regime are taken. .

Recovery:

  • It is necessary to obtain a mark superior to 5 in the final exam of recovery to pass the asignatura.
  • The mark of the resit exam will be applied only to the mark of the A8 activity.
  • In case of passing the recovery, the maximum final mark of the subject will be 5.
