Instructor: Mike Dawson

Game Programming

DMA Instructor Mike Dawson

Mike Dawson is a game industry veteran who has worked as a producer and designer. Mike has always believed in throwing himself into his work and did so literally with the award-winning Darkseed. In the adventure game, the player becomes the main character named “Mike Dawson” as he or she directs the digitized images of Mike (yes, the real Mike Dawson) in order to save the human race from an evil collective of ancient aliens bent on invasion.

In real-life, Mike is the author of two books on computer games and programming: Beginning C++ Game Programming and Python Programming for the Absolute Beginner. He currently teaches Introduction to Game Programming at UCLA Extension and earned his Bachelor of Science degree in Computer Science from the University of Southern California.
