Welcome

• I'm Chris Huyck.
• I'm the lecturer, lab supervisor, and I've largely (or am largely) developed this module.
• I'm hoping to be here for all 24 lectures and all 24 labs.
• I hope you'll be here too.
• The module has a 2 hour lab and a 1 hour lecture.
• The course also has an (almost) weekly reading.
• The textbooks are Programming Game AI by Example (by Mat Buckland); Physics for Game Programmers by Grant Palmer; and Artificial Intelligence: A Modern Approach by Russell and Norvig (3rd Ed).
• Please do the reading before the lecture.
• I'm hoping we can learn a lot about building games and build some cool games this year.
• I like it when people ask questions. I think we all learn better when we do. So please feel free to ask questions.
