Torque Game Engine

This semester I've been teaching a class on game development at Chapman University. The class website is http://www.gamedev360.com/. It is the biggest reason I have not blogged in a while. Secondary was my last post on procrastination which sort of helped me see blogging as a distraction. We are using the Torque Game Engine for the class and so far I am impressed. There are some things I really like about it and some things I don't and I'll come up with some posts along those lines in the future.

My previous gig was called GameWorld.com developing mobile games. During that time I was teaching some other classes (Assembly Language, Computer Architecture) and lobbied the head of the department to teach a game development class. After five years, that finally came through last year and I taught the first class. Last summer the department created a curriculum board of industry professionals to come up with a minor and certificate program. This semester is the first class as part of the minor. Very exciting.

The website for the current class is http://www.gamedev360.com/. Please feel free to comment or contact me about Torque. I'll be writing more about Torque and game development in the future.
