AB  - Motivating Students to learn Programming using Game AssignmentsGame development is one of the fastest growing areas of software development. Manyinstitutions have introduced Bachelor degree program in game development to cater to theindustry demand. In this paper, we discuss the use of important key algorithms and 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. By showing clear examples of the use of these algorithms in gamedevelopment, we demonstrate how game-based programming assignments can teach studentsalgorithms; it also demonstrates the importance of knowing multiple algorithms beforedeveloping a full game. We discuss the lessons we learned while assigning games in beginningand intermediate level programming courses. Finally, we demonstrate how students benefit froma solid understanding of multiple data structures.
