csee student team wins game development competition

Having finished their final exams, a group of CSEE undergraduates - David Pearson, Guy Cass, Joe Le Grice and Dan Scott - took part in the Virgin Media 100 Day Game Competition... and won it!
 
The prize is the chance to develop a mobile game in 100 days and they have moved up to Dundee, where they are being mentored by professional developers from industry as they work on the task.  Amusingly, they decided to enter the competition while working on an assignment in their 3D Computer Graphics module - but the game they are designing is a 2D one.  Why does it have to be done in 100 days?  Because they have to reveal the game and complete the final level in front of a live audience at Eurogamer Expo 2012!
 You can follow their progress on http://www.virginmedia.com/games/one-hundred-day-game-project/
