Presentation of the subject

In the subject of creation and development project I the student must design and implement a 2D game of medium-high complexity, from start to finish, using the Unity3D game development engine. The subject provides the tools in a theoretical way and the programming knowledge is applied in a practical way creating in groups a complete game.

Activities and evaluation system

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

A1. Laboratory practice: Delivery 1 - Break out of the game into entities, components and systems 20%

A2. Laboratory Practice: Delivery 2 - Partial delivery of the game 20%

A3. Laboratory Practice: Delivery 3 - Delivery of the complete set 20%

A4. Laboratory practice: Project refactoring 30%

 

Final grade = A1 0,2 + A2 0,2 + A3 0,2 + A4 0,3 + Peer review 0,1 

 

Considerations:

  • An activity not delivered or delivered late and without justification (court summons or medical matter) counts as a 0.

  • In general, TecnoCampus establishes: Any form of academic fraud will be sanctioned in accordance with the center's evaluation regulations. If signs of fraud are detected, including the improper use of generative artificial intelligence tools, the subject's teaching staff may call the student for an individual interview with the aim of verifying their authorship.. Given the fundamental nature of this subject, the student is required not only to provide solutions to certain problems, but also to be able to generate them autonomously, without any external help. For this reason, the use of generative artificial intelligences (IAG) to resolve the problems posed in the subject —whether in exercises, practices or tests— is counterproductive, is strictly prohibited and will be considered a case of plagiarism fraud. In this sense, the use of IAG to generate programming code is not allowed, not even in the form of fragments, even if this code is subsequently modified or customized.  the use critical of IAGs as a vehicle to resolve doubts about the subject is not considered a misuse of these mechanisms as long as this does not contradict what has been indicated before and the student does not lose sight of the fact that he may obtain incorrect answers and/or not adjusted to the contents of the subject.
