And now I'm going to segue into another slightly OT subject: gaming.
We're thinking of offering a gaming course at the high school level,
aiming at the post-AP crowd (hoping, of course, that this will
attract more students *into* the AP course).

I need resources on gaming and game design, preferable from an
algorithmic standpoint.  "The Art of Computer Game Design" was a
great tip.  Anyone got any others?

Of course, I have no idea if we'd teach this course in java, in
scheme, in RR, some other environment, or a mixture of the above.
Suggestions?

Thanks!
