• Java & Slick Programming Tutorial
  1:15pm-2:30pm
  Club member Stephen Whitmore’s first of four beginner tutorials, using the Java programming language and Slick API. If you want to know how to program a game, come to these to find out. As always, everything used by Stephen’s tutorials is freely available on the web. Please note that at least a basic knowledge of programming is assumed.
  

• Roman’s Story
  2:30pm-3:15pm
  A discussion on interactive storytelling: what have games done, what have other media done, and where are we headed? Presented by Roman ZImine.
  

• Can Art Be Fun?

  A discussion about the maturing games industry, where we can go in the future, and why we would want to get there. Presented by Sherban Gaciu.
  

• Show & Tell
  4:00pm-
  Show off your stuff! Don’t have anything? Comment (constructively!) on the work of others.
  

Not all of these topics will appeal to everyone, so you don’t have to come to everything – just pick whatever interests you (and if it happens to be everything, all the better!). See you out there!

Cheers,
Sherban Gaciu
UW-GDC President
