Game Design and Modding 7-9
Students “mod” (customize) commercial video games with their own graphics, sounds, unit definitions, maps, and scripts.
The first week students mod the strategy game Civilization IV by inventing new units and technologies, and by altering combat rules and map generation logic.
The second week, students write modules for the role-playing game Torchlight to add levels, control particle effects, and script new monster behavior.
