Online Classes

ProcJAM and NaNoGenMo are right around the corner! If you’re looking for some ideas for your projects, there are a couple of online classes starting soon that you might want to check out. They’re not exclusively about procedural generation, but the topics line up really well with ProcJam and NaNoGenMo.

The Principles of Modern Game AI is a twelve-week pay-what-you-want course for technically-oriented developers. Week #2 has a procedural Minecraft exercise for lab work.

Electronic Literature is a free online edX course from Davidson College, covering both the historical and contemporary works of electronic literature. It’s much less technical than the Game AI course, and sounds like it’s going to be an interesting look at the possibilities of e-lit.
