<p>Computer Science major wanting to go into the video game design industry as a software engineer or possibly designing the game themselves as a game artificial intelligence expert. Is it a good idea to know both, or should I specialize?</p>
<p>You should have space in your schedule to take the CS courses applicable to general software development (e.g. operating systems, networks, software engineering, algorithms and complexity, databases, security) as well as courses applicable to games in particular (e.g. graphics, user interfaces, artificial intelligence, non-major courses in art and the like).</p>
<p>cool, thanks ucbalumnus!</p>
