SHOW & TELL

Last weekend's 24 Hour Game Making Competition went very well! I hope those who came out had a good time.

The judging will commence soon, with the three judges ranking games based on the following categories:

• Technical Difficulty
  While being technically advanced won't win the competition alone, we wanted a category to recognize the effort in making something that's a bit more tricky (this was a programming competition after all).
• Creative Use of Theme
  How close did the entry stick to the theme? Did it do anything with it that wasn't necessarily obvious? This category recognizes thinking outside the box.
• How Fun is It?
  In the end, this is a game competition, so how fun is the game to play, really?
  

Our last event of the year, the end-of-term Show & Tell, will be held on November 28th at 7:00pm in MC 2065. At this event, we'll show this year's 24-Hour entries, and in the end, unveil the Top 3 Winners, who will each walk home with a prize from Electronic Arts [EDIT: As seen on the front page].

The Show & Tell is also a great place to show off things you've been working on throughout the semester. Have a polished game? How about just a work-in-progress? Come on out and let the UW Community see it in action!
