Do specialized degrees exist for a subject such as 'Video game development'? Astounding if such is the case. It is often preferrable to pursue an M. Sc. in Computer Studies if you aspire to make a career in the general IT department, but if you want to partake in developing games, a specialized degree would be best if that option is available.
Also DirectX/Direct3D(DirectDraw serves a different purpose) and OpenGL are just 3D rendering standards. You don't really 'program' in those "languages", you need to know how to add support for them if you wish to develope 3D video games. |
Yes specialised degrees do exist in this area. University of Pennsylvania has just started one. Its not just about game programming but about Game development as a whole which may include level design,general design, and ofcorse Game programming.
As far as direct X and OPEL GL are concerned you get SDK kits for both of these. The programming language is VC++ generally for these development kits. So by programming in Direct X and OPen GL i meant to make application using these SDKs
