4. Students form groups and they should work as a team. Students form groups and they should work as a team. Develop game levels based on Unreal development kit Develop game levels based on Unreal development kit 1. Assignments (20%): let the student be familiar with the working environment of UDK. Each group submit a report weekly. 2. Presentation (20%): improve the presentation skill of students. 3. Project (60%): Design around FOUR game levels.

6. 6 Research Results Research Results Cloth draping simulation Different textures can be applied to different regions of a garment. Small wrinkles along seam lines are created automatically.

7. Multiple interacting objects 7 Interacting performance is achieved for many deformable objects even though the contact regions are large. This simulation was executed on a multicore machine.

9. UNREAL DEVELOPMENT KIT

10. Unreal Development Kit 1. A collection of resources + independent components + visual programming 2. Each independent components are connected to a Engine Core 10

11. Unreal Development Kit Engine Core communicates with the following engines: 1. Graphics Engine: Render images 2. Sound Engine: Managing audio effects 3. Physics Engine: collision detection, physics response It supports scripting - Syntax similar to C++ 11

12. Work Flow 1. Initialization a. Initialize components of Core Engine b. Synchronization: Data communication between components and Engine Core c. Enter standby mode, waiting for client inputs 2. Start game a. load map, resources, sequences b. Map resources to Engine Core, e.g. sound sent to sound engine, materials sent to graphics engine 3. Run game a. Every component sends information to Core Engine 1. Initialization a. Initialize components of Core Engine b. Synchronization: Data communication between components and Engine Core c.
