Video games today are built using engines such as Unity, Unreal, Lumberyard, CryEngine, and dozens of others.  The engine handles the basic tasks common to all games: 3D real-time rendering, object and scene-graph management, lighting, cameras, animation, etc.  Perhaps you've used an engine to make your own game, but have you ever thought of building your own engine?  It's a fun and challenging project that appeals to aspiring hard-core coders.  Dr. Scott Gordon is a professor at Sacramento State University, where students in his Game Architecture course build video games atop his own game engine "TAGE".  But a few of his most ambitious students opt instead to first build their own engine from scratch.  In this talk, Dr. Gordon describes how game engines are organized, and how to build your own.

All lectures are free and open to the public.

Join the SSU Fraternity and Sorority Life community , as they sponsor this month’s Blood Drive, along with Vitalent. Vitalant exists to make a difference in people's lives. They are deeply committed to making a transformative difference, and ensuring patients have the blood they need to see tomorrow. Before COVID, we received word from our partners in Colorado that they responded to requests for additional blood from two of the three hospitals treating victims of the tragic STEM School Highland Ranch shooting. This response was in addition to the blood supply already on the shelves at those hospitals, ready and waiting for those who needed transfusions. This is possible because of the generosity of selfless donors.

Vitalant is a non-profit blood bank that provides a direct link between volunteer blood donors and patients in need. We collect, test, process and distribute lifesaving blood products 24/7, 365 days a year. There’s no substitute for human blood. We rely 100% on volunteer donors and coordinators. SSU blood drives truly make a difference in our community. For more info, contact mo.phillips@sonoma.edu

Black Girl Rise is a workshop space for Black girls and women that focuses on what it means to each individual to be a Black girl, the struggles and challenges as well as the beauty and power of being a Black girl, and how to express these feelings and emotions through spoken word. Based on Porsche’s poem “Black Girl”, this workshop will explore the complexity of Blackness and girl/womanhood and give attendees a safe space to express their emotions through art while building a community of sisters.
