Summary: this class is a beginner game development class based on the processing Java graphics toolkit. It is the only one of its kind where basic principles are explained in a set of 10 steps. These techniques can be used on any game of this type to create other versions on other platforms using other graphics libraries. Very cool. Reminds me of the old cs106 programming assignments when Marissa was teaching where we did Pong games and browsers for assignments.
