datastructures in game design and development. We highlight the usage of sorting algorithms andillustrate that other algorithms, such as searching algorithms, are most efficient when givenproperly sorted data. We demonstrate how game-based programming assignments can teachstudents algorithms. We also emphasize the importance of knowing multiple algorithms beforedeveloping a full game. We discuss the lessons learned while assigning games in beginning andintermediate level programming courses. Finally, we demonstrate how students benefit from asolid understanding of multiple data structures.1. IntroductionGames have been used at all levels of learning, from elementary to college. Using games inteaching can attract new students, engage them in learning
