Want To Get Schooled By Levelord?

Kelli Hagen writes to point out a new CNN article about college degrees in video gaming, particularly the new 18-month course offered by The Guildhall at SMU. We've run stories on gaming university courses before, but this course is interesting because it has leading Texan game developers helping with curriculum and teaching, including id's Graeme Devine, Monkeystone's Tom Hall, and, of course, Ritual's highly 'individual' Richard 'Levelord' Gray.

    BA in Computer Science, and now I'm a game programmer. Having been doing this for a while now, I think what I missed from college was a class on 3d graphics, better implementations of linear algebra in code (alternate representations of angles and rotations... quaternions, etc.)... and... umm... that's about it.

    Good coding is good coding.
