We're going to be researching the discrete math links to Melanie's favorite computer game, World of Warcraft. World of Warcraft is a massively multiplayer online role playing game. Because the game is online, the core coding of the game is based completely around networking. Networking uses the discrete math concept of graph theory.
World of Warcraft is a graphical game. It uses real-time 3D updating graphics and animations. The graphics are completely based around graph theory, algorithms, and functions.
