Today was our programming competiton with a twist. Andy, Tom and James made a system which lets C# programs control bots in Unreal Tournament. Well, with something like that you've just got to lay on pizza, coke a prize and a whole bunch of students. So they did. And I went along to join in the carnage and take some pictures. Warning, this is a graphics heavy post, so if you are on a slow connection you will have to be patient.
How it starts
Two people in this picture are getting worried about the network. Can you spot who they are?.
Here's a clue
About now Tom starts to wish he hadn't superglued his hand to his chin.
Yep. I think that one is definitely dead.
A tense moment on the leaderboard.
Coding food.
The event in full swing. You could actually hear people's brains humming.
The all important leaderboard. We haven't got any frags yet. But we will. Oh yes.
One of the programmers in this room is programming roybott. Can you spot who it is?
Hunting for bugs....
...it's in here somewhere...
...and we've found it.
Another tense moment as a winner emerges.
Andy hands over third prize, and the winner makes a run for it..
Well, someone had to come second...
..and here is the winner. Well done sir.
These guys didn't win. But a good time was definitely had by all. Now we plan for the next one...
