Students will review the attached introductory article to learn how gaming programmers 'think-outside-of-the-box'. Students should read the article and then summarize the article in a word processing document. Students should then think about an assignment for another class and how that assignment might have been different based upon what this article discussed. Students should save their writing, and then share the writing with a partner.
