The Johns Hopkins University Gaming Lab was created during the 2008-2009 academic year.

A fully equipped development and testing lab has been created to support course-related and independent game development and exploration by students. The lab contains high-end workstations, including Nvidia graphics cards and an array of cutting edge development software, as well as a large-format Samsung screen and 5.1 surround-sound system for testing and game play.

The Johns Hopkins Gaming Lab is located in Mattin/Offit Room 225, adjacent to the Digital Media Center (DMC). Here is an additional JHU Gaming Lab site by Peter Froehlich, who was the instructor of the first course.

The lab is open to JHU students, faculty, and staff only.

Description:

Prereq: 600.255/256 or permission; junior or senior standing recommended.

An intensive capstone design project experience in video game development. Students will work in groups of 4-8 on developing a complete video game of publishable quality. Teams will (hopefully) include programmers, visual artists, composers, and writers.

Students will be mentored by experts from industry and academia. Aside from the project itself, project management and communication skills will be emphasized. Enrollment is limited to ensure parity between the various disciplines.
