Our first year students are tasked with creating games using non-standard input devices – ie. not a controller or keyboard and mouse. They often end up having to build custom hardware as well as program the games. What does that mean, in practice? It means that we have a great many weird<\/a> and wonderful<\/a> games<\/a> on our showfloor (for you to play!). <\/p>\n

Three of the games from last year were selected by the alt.ctrl.GDC organizers<\/a>, to exhibit at the Game Developers Conference. Those students just returned a few days ago, and judging by the press, they did well over there! So we thought, let’s gather up all the coverage they earned!
