there is alot more im not sure if all of them are done in a 4 year program or if you do not take them all

this program is at the university of wisconsin-whitewater

What language do you start with?

Uni teaches to construct, but we're interested in destruction
You'll need to do research outside of what uni will teach you to start hacking games, but with what was listed as courses alone you'll come very far.
