I would like to apologize to those of you who came last week for a meeting. About a day before the meeting last week I sent out an email to our mailing list explaining that there was no meeting without much reason. I didn’t realize however that many of our members are not on the mailing list, apparently; so this upcoming week we will remedy that problem by passing around a sign-in sheet asking for an email address to put into the club’s mailing list.
Now, the reason that we did not have a meeting last week is pretty crazy. 2 weeks ago, a Microsoft representative came to our school looking for members from our club to join in Imagine Cup. For those of you who have not heard about Imagine Cup, it is an annual Microsoft competition designed for software engineers to compete in create software that helps the world in some way. This year, a few of our club members are taking part in this year’s Game Design competition to develop an XNA game in pretty much 6 weeks. The team is as follows:
Bryan Carter, Michelle O’Donnel, Myself (Koray Hagen), and David Young.
Frankly, we needed last Tuesday to work on the game, and it is definitely progressing nicely. In fact this Thursday we will be talking about game engines, and part of that will include how our team is going about building an entire XNA 2D engine in 2-3 weeks. If you guys have more questions about Imagine Cup, please ask them on Thursday or email us at cppgamedesign@gmail.com, or comment below!
That’s awesome! My room-mate was on a 4-person team that made it to the Imagine Cup semi-finals last year.
