DIGIPEN INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY EUROPE-BILBAO
For over 25 years, DigiPen Institute of Technology has helped advance the video
game, simulation, and animation industries by empowering students to become
exceptional game developers, engineers, programmers, and digital artists.
DigiPen Institute of Technology is a pioneer in game development education. In 1996,
it became the first school in the world to offer a bachelor’s degree in video game
programming — the Bachelor of Science in Real-Time Interactive Simulation. Since
then, DigiPen’s programs have continually evolved to ensure graduates are ready to
create, innovate, and collaborate at some of the world’s top companies.
DigiPen’s students are among the most respected in their fields, consistently winning
top honors at international competitions such as the Independent Games Festival. Its
faculty draws from years of academic and industry experience, allowing instructors
to teach both the theory and practices necessary to succeed in a professional studio
environment. And its alumni have gone on to produce work that has captivated
audiences by the millions.

DIGIPEN INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY IS...
FOCUSED
By declaring their major when they apply, freshman students at DigiPen jump
right into the coursework most relevant to their chosen field. Some take the
equivalent of graduate-level courses by their senior year.
HANDS- ON
DigiPen teaches students to be problem solvers and innovators through realworld projects. By applying academic principles to concrete year-long team
projects, students gain the practical knowledge to become creators – not just
users – of technology.
EXPERIENCED
DigiPen has been educating students for over 25 years and is the first school
in the world to offer a bachelor’s degree in game development (the Bachelor
of Science in Computer Science in Real-Time Interactive Simulation).
DigiPen faculty members are made up of academic experts as well as
veterans of the game and animation industries.
CO N N E C TE D
DigiPen’s Program Advisory Committees – comprised of DigiPen faculty members
and director-level employees from studios like Microsoft, Nintendo, Bungie,
PopCap, and ArenaNet – meet every six months to ensure DigiPen’s education
and curricula continue to evolve alongside the game and animation industries.
R E N OW N E D
DigiPen students have won 46 awards at the Independent Games
Festival – more than any other school in the world. And for five years
running, The Princeton Review has ranked DigiPen among the top five
schools in North America for game design for the past five years.

CLAUDE COMAIR
PRESIDENT AND FOUNDER
“Twenty-five years ago, when DigiPen first opened
its doors, the world of real-time 3D simulation was
just at its beginning stages. Today, a quarter of
a century later, the industry has made leaps and
bounds in discovery, design, and development, as
demonstrated by the quality of today’s simulations,
video games, animations, software, and hardware.
It is both exciting and challenging to continuously
be on the cutting-edge of these industries. Our
graduates have gone on to make a huge impact
in their fields and have made us proud that they
continue to push technology to the limits. They
have proven to be innovators, creators, and leaders
in their fields. I cannot wait to see what we, as a
whole, will achieve in the next 25 years.”
Mr. Claude Comair earned a degree in Architecture and became a Professional
Engineer in 1984. He was then invited by the Japanese Ministry of Education
to become a government researcher positioned at Osaka University, Faculty
of Engineering in Osaka, Japan. Later, he earned his master’s degree in
Environmental Engineering from Osaka University. He completed five more
years of doctorate studies at Osaka University, Faculty of Engineering, and is
currently working on his doctorate thesis, which he will present to the École
Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne in Switzerland. While in Japan in the
1980s, Mr. Comair helped to develop 3D visualization software, which was
utilized to simulate different events (e.g. earthquakes, etc.) in various cities.
In 1988, Mr. Comair applied his experience and passion for the game and
simulation industries to address its need for innovation and a skilled workforce
by founding DigiPen in Vancouver, B.C., Canada. In 1998, he co-founded
Nintendo Software Technology in Redmond, WA, a subsidiary of Nintendo
Co. Ltd. As Chairman and Chief Technology Officer of Nintendo Software he
oversaw the production of such game titles as Mario vs. Donkey Kong 1 and 2
(2004 and 2006), Ridge Racer 64 and DS (2000 and 2004), The Legend of
Zelda (2003), 1080° Avalanche (2003), Wave Race: Blue Storm (2001), Pokémon
Puzzle League (2000), Bionic Commando (2000), and many others. He has also
created and registered numerous patents for Nintendo and Boeing.
Mr. Comair taught at DigiPen for more than two decades, and his expertise and
passion for the industry and innovation continue to guide the curriculum and
culture of DigiPen Institute of Technology today.

OUR ALUMNI
FROM TAG
TO P O RTA L 2
BS in Computer Science in RealTime Interactive Simulation students
Tejeev Kohli, Brett English, Pongthep
“Bank” Charnchaichujit, and Ted
Rivera had a “wish list” for their time
at DigiPen: “Make a sweet game,
win at IGF, and get hired by Valve,”
in English’s words. For most student
developers, accomplishing one of
those items would be a tremendous
achievement – but these DigiPen allstars managed to hit all three.
It all started at DigiPen’s annual Career Day, where
students present their game projects to visiting game
developers. The team already had their “sweet game,”
a 3D platformer called Tag: The Power of Paint that
let players travel through an urban landscape by
“tagging” surfaces with magical paint, and they were
demonstrating it to recruiters. “Robin Walker from
Valve was there, and we spoke with him for about
an hour,” Kohli says. “He played the whole game,
and while he played it, he kept asking us questions
about our process and how we worked on the game.
It was essentially an interview with us, but a very
informal one.”
A month later, the team flew down to San Francisco
for the Independent Games Festival, where they
checked the second item off their list: Tag won the
honor of Best Game in the festival’s Student Showcase.
“That’s when the Valve guys got back to us and said,
‘Hey, do you guys want to work at Valve?’” Kohli says.
They didn’t need much convincing. The team’s first
project at Valve was an unusual one. “It was just the
four of us in our own office, and we were told, ‘Make
Tag in the Source Engine,’” says Kohli. (The Source
Engine is Valve’s proprietary game development
framework.) “So we essentially re-wrote all the stuff
from Tag – the painting and the paint gun – and made
a few levels so that people in the company could try
it and then assess what to do with the technology.”
Around the same time they finished their tech demo,
the “paint guys,” as they came to be known within the
company, found a new opportunity: playtesting Portal
2, the nascent sequel to Valve’s 2007 blockbuster
that was itself based on the work of another DigiPen
student game team. “At that point, which was maybe
two months into our jobs, we were deciding what to do
with the paint technology,” Kohli says. “We had a bunch
of options, and one of them was ‘let’s incorporate this
into Portal.’” It wasn’t a completely smooth transition.
“It took a little while for us to convince the Portal team
that it was worth experimenting with,” says Rivera. And
even after they found allies willing to take up their
cause, certain elements of Tag simply didn’t translate
into its new setting. “The feedback we got was that
adding a second gun to Portal would complicate things
a bit too much,” Kohli says. Likewise, Tag’s “stick paint,”
which allowed players to walk on walls and ceilings,
was deemed too disorienting for the game’s already
complex puzzles.
But it wasn’t long before the entire Portal 2 team was
coming up with their own ideas for how to incorporate
the Tag team’s paint technology into their game. “That’s
when it really cemented itself as a core part of Portal
2,” Kohli says.
At that point, Kohli, English, Charnchaichujit, and
Rivera were assigned to separate teams within the
greater Portal 2 group. Charnchaichujit jumped into
the main programming team to work on the game’s core
features. English helped write code for a redesigned
camera that was more intuitive for players. And all four
of the “paint guys” helped design new and unique
obstacles for players to overcome.
They couldn’t be happier with how things turned out.
“The first few months there, we were very much on our
own – and that was very scary,” says Kohli. “We took
it as a ‘sink or swim’ situation – being thrown into the
deep end.” But by trusting in their abilities and working
as a team, they didn’t just finish their checklist - they
helped create one of the best games of 2011.
TWO GENERATIONS OF STUDENT SUCCESS
The original Portal was also
developed by a team of DigiPen
students based on their senior
project, Narbacular Drop.

BREAKING NEW
GROUND IN
JOURNEY AND
THE LAST OF US
Looking back at his career so far, DigiPen graduate
Bryan Singh considers himself very fortunate. While
many game developers would be thrilled to work on one
landmark game project, Singh has already managed to
be a part of two.
After earning his BS in Computer Science in Real-Time
Interactive Simulation in 2009, Singh’s first job out of
college was at thatgamecompany in Los Angeles, where he
and a small team of ambitious developers worked to bring
the studio’s groundbreaking Journey to the PlayStation
3. Then, after a short stint at indie studio The Behemoth,
Singh signed on with Santa Monica-based Naughty Dog,
which recently released the post-apocalyptic adventure
The Last of Us.
Singh’s personal game development story began even
prior to his four years at DigiPen. As a longtime dabbler
in all things creative — from music to writing to drawing
— Singh says he always enjoyed the output but wasn’t
particularly good at any one thing.
That is, until he stumbled across an online animator’s
forum, where he discovered the world of Adobe Flash and
began teaching himself the platform’s built-in scripting
language, ActionScript. From there, Singh was making
his very first games.
“This was only in middle school and high school,” Singh
says. “Eventually people were responding positively to
these little things I was making, so it just felt natural to
want to continue to do that.”
Despite his success in making web-based games on
his own, Singh says his education at DigiPen cemented
his understanding of programming and the collaborative
effort that goes into making larger, more complex games.
“I feel like DigiPen really captures that feeling where …
everyone works together to teach each other and learn
together," Singh says. "That structure really translates to
what I’ve experienced professionally.”
Singh’s knowledge of computer science, combined
with his previous game design experience, ended up
making him a strong candidate when he applied for a
job at thatgamecompany, which was looking for new
talent to help make the follow-up to their game Flower.
During the interview process, studio founder Jenova
Chen pitched the concept for Journey. Singh got to see
an early 2D prototype, as well as the first stages of the
new game engine.
Singh joined the team as a technical designer but soon
found himself — along with his coworkers — juggling a
wide range of responsibilities. Singh worked on character
movement, camera controls, and AI programming, such as
for the game’s ambient cloth creatures that flitter about as
players make their way through the desert landscape. He
also helped program and design the game’s multiplayer
features, which allow players to connect, travel, and
communicate with other anonymous companions.
“While working on Journey, I think I started gaining
a really big respect for the implications of games as a
medium and the importance of reaching people with the
work that you do,” Singh says. “And I think that’s pretty
evident in the game.”
While Journey was an enormous critical and financial
success, a strange thing happened. Having delivered
the last title for a three-game contract with Sony,
thatgamecompany was free of obligations. As such, several
team members — including Singh — left the studio to
pursue the next stages of their respective careers.
“And we all left on pretty good terms, too,” Singh says.
For a short time Singh worked at indie game studio
The Behemoth, makers of the popular beat ‘em up Castle
Crashers. That offer came at the invitation of artist and
designer Dan Paladin, one of the very figures who inspired
Singh from his early days in Flash game development.
Singh worked independently for close to three months
prototyping new game ideas, but ultimately felt he might
be happier at another studio.
When a position opened at Naughty Dog, he applied,
quickly got an interview, and was hired soon after.
Beginning last December, Singh dove in to help finish
and ship The Last of Us. As a gameplay scripter, he helped
with the timing and placement of in-game story content.
“There are several sections in which you are in a lowtension moment. You’re kind of just hanging out with a
handful of other characters,” Singh says. “So I did a lot
of scripting of NPCs — deciding where a character goes,
where a character looks, when they decide to deliver a
line of dialogue.”
As with Journey, The Last of Us has already been
trumpeted as a tremendous achievement, particularly
in the areas of character development and impactful
storytelling.
For Singh, the experience has been humbling.
“For a lot of the people that I worked closely with on
The Last of Us, this is going to be their first project that
even got a decent critical reception — and they’ve been
working for decades,” Singh says. “I reflect on my history
and feel like I’m basically the luckiest person.”
“While working on Journey,
I think I started gaining a really
big respect for the implications
of games as a medium and the
importance of reaching people
with the work that you do.”
CHONG KWOK BENG » SINGAPORE CAMPUS
“Over the years we’ve been in business, we’ve come to believe the best way
to learn how to make games is to see how real players react when they’re
put in front of real games. To see that process being replicated inside an
academic institution was really exciting. Our company today is stronger than
it’s ever been, thanks, in part, to our DigiPen graduates."

DigiPen’s degree programs give students a comprehensive understanding of the
academic fundamentals of their field while preparing them to effectively apply what
they learn in a professional environment.
By starting out with a strong focus on foundational theory and challenging students to
apply what they learn in the classroom to intensive year-long projects and internships
with local developers, DigiPen’s programs give students an understanding of their
profession that goes far deeper than current tools and processes. Students learn

3D computer graphics involve drawing pictures of 3D objects, usually on a 2D screen.
This process of generating a 2D image of a
3D graphics application can be described as
a series of distinct operations performed on
a set of input data. Each operation generates
results for the successive one. This process
is called the graphics rendering pipeline, and
it is the core of real-time computer graphics.
The graphics pipeline can be conceptualized
as consisting of three stages: application,
transformation, and rasterization. The course
begins by introducing the 3D graphics pipeline. The application stage is examined from
the viewpoint of the representation, modeling, and animation of 3D objects. Topics
include user interaction, camera animation
techniques, simulation of dynamic objects,
and collision detection techniques. Next, the
course examines the process of mapping
3D graphic objects from model-space to
viewport coordinates. The transformation
stage implements this process. Finally, the
conversion of a geometric primitive in viewport coordinates into a 2D image is studied.
The rasterization stage implements this final
process.

Cybertexts: Interactive Media and
the Future of Narrative (3 cr.)
Video games and other forms of interactive
media are widely touted as the future of
both popular entertainment and narrative
storytelling. If video games and other interactive media are developing into art forms,
then we can expect that these emerging
narrative forms will be able to accommodate
genres of storytelling that have existed
since time immemorial, including romance,
comedy, tragedy and epic. Yet the dynamics
of nonlinear storytelling, the limits of current
video game technology, and the constraints
of the marketplace do not seem conducive
to expanding the narrative elements of
interactive media. This course traces the
boundaries between narratives and games,
and aims to identify areas of overlap that can
lead to the development of new expressions
of narrativity in interactive media. One central
goal of the course is to grapple with the
problem(s) posed by interactive narrative.
Assigned readings examine the difference
between traditional narrative texts and texts
that require a higher degree of interactivity,
collectively called cybertexts. The goal of
the course is to identify what differences
may exist, and to analyze the possibilities for
adapting traditional narrative into interactive
media. This class’s central innovation requires
students to actively adapt an element of
traditional narrative into a cybertext. By the
end of the class, students reach a conclusion,
based on their reading and course work, as to
whether cybertexts can effectively encompass traditional narrative genres, and if not,
whether this is due to limitations of the form,
or the limitations of technology.

individual style and voice. Students write
three full-length short stories and read
contemporary fiction by established authors
not discussed in previous courses. Enrollment
is limited to a maximum of 12 students. The
limited class size will afford the intensive
production schedule and frequent discussion
of writing.
ENG 450
Elements of Media for Game
Developers (2 cr.)
Other topics covered may include mental
representation and transformation, language

most powerful and important potentials of
the game medium, but the term is often used
with superficial understanding of its implications. This course emphasizes the nature of
interactivity primarily from psychological and
sociological perspectives. Students review
and define interactive media using examples drawn from academic research, film,
television, and games. Students have ample
opportunity to contemplate and discuss
how they can apply a more comprehensive
understanding of interactivity in order to
surpass the current limits of interactive media
products.

This course takes a close look at current
debates on race, gender, and ethnicity in
American society. It begins with an overview
of definitions of race, gender, and ethnicity,
exploring what they have meant in the past
and what they mean now. Then the course
examines the intersections between race,
gender, and ethnicity, asking the following
questions: How do race and ethnicity differ,
and how are they related? What difference
does race make? How are race and gender
related? Where does sexual orientation fit
into the discourse on gender, and how does
it fit into discussions on race and ethnicity?
Current debates on race, gender, and ethnicity were highlighted by the 2008 election of
the first African-American president and the
ever-growing prominence of women in the
highest levels of American politics. Does this
mean that we have entered a post-racial era?
Where exactly do we stand on women and
gender-related issues? What about the place
of GLBT issues in the public domain? This
course explores these themes and topics.

Combinatorial Game Theory studies finite,
two-player games in which there are no ties.
Techniques from logic combinatorics and set
theory are used to prove various properties
of such games. Typical games include Domineering, Hackenbush, and Nim. The analysis
of such games can also be used to study
other more complex games like Dots and
Boxes, and Go. Topics covered in this course
include Conway’s theory of numbers as
games, impartial and partizan games, winning
strategies, outcome classes and algebra of
games.

Euler’s function, Fermat’s little theorem,
Euler’s formula, the Chinese remainder
theorem, powers modulo m, kth roots modulo
m, primitive roots and indices, and quadratic
reciprocity. These tools are then used in
cryptography, where the course discusses
encryption schemes, the role of prime
numbers, security and factorization, the DES
algorithm, public key encryption, and various
other topics, as time allows.
This course introduces topology and its
applications. Topics covered include topological spaces, quotient and product spaces,
metric and normed spaces, connectedness,
compactness, and separation axioms. Further
topics may include basic algebraic topology,
fixed point theorems, theory of knots, and
