Hi,
My name is Matt Hilleman, Owner/President of GargantuanGames, LLC, =
located here in Ames, IA. We are a small startup company looking for =
game programmers. (This is our secondary jobs) We have been through an =
Alpha release of a racing game, which never got picked up. We presented =
the Game to one of Radio Shack's VPs in Fort Worth Texas at the end of =
2003. Since then we realized, as so many other small developers have, =
self publishing a game or getting into main stream store shelves is VERY =
difficult and expensive to do, without prior releases under your belt. =
SO, to make a long story short, we are creating an online 3d poker game. =
Something that doesn't require store shelf space and has a potential to =
make extraordinary amount of money. The software will be licensed to =
groups that want to run their own online casino. We have created a =
working Alpha, which we are now in the process of re-writing the =
servers. The Global Interactive Gaming Summit & Expo is held June 13-15 =
and we are trying to get something show able for this show. Also, I am =
going to E3 but this isn't the place to show this type of software.
We need C++ programmers that are familiar with 3d and network =
programming. Specifically, we are using the Irrlicht 3D scenegraph and =
ACE libraries. Currently we use .Net 7.1 for all coding, but the =
servers target OS will be a BSD variant (FreeBSD, etc...). The clients =
target OS will be Windows. Please email me your resume or if you have =
any questions.
Regards, Matt
Matt Hilleman

Hello all, The ISU Game Developers' Club is meeting again tonight (Thursday) at 8:00 pm in room 1304 of Howe Hall. Tonight we'll be having an introductory talk on shaders and the power of programmable graphics cards. Shaders open up a lot of new possibilities for both artists and developers so we encourage everyone to attend. Cheers, Andres Reinot El Presidente, ISU Game Developers' Club http://isugamedev.sf.net |

I received this today, figured I'd forward it in case anyone was interested. cheers, Andres El Presidente, ISU Game Developers' Club ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Di Cook <di...@ia...> Date: Fri, 18 Feb 2005 12:37:36 -0600 Subject: Fwd: Tues Feb 22 GAME DAY To: isu...@ia... In case this is of interest to anyone in the club. This is a game that Di invented as a way to think about high-dimensional spaces. The game board really is 4D. cheers, Di ---------- Forwarded Message ---------- Subject: Tues Feb 22 GAME DAY Date: Thu, 17 Feb 2005 15:03:36 -0600 From: Di Cook <di...@ia...> To: mst...@ia... Hi all, In this next week's Graph/Comp VIGRE meeting (Tues Feb 22, 4:10-5:00pm Snedecor 101-2) we plan to run a knock out competition of a game called "Face Off". "Face Off" is a game played on a 4D cube, a little like tic-tac-toe. If you think you might be good at navigating in a higher dimensional space think about signing up for the competition. There'll be a prize of $20 iTunes gift certificate for the grand winner. In order to make up a draw, and to organize the appropriate number of laptops to play on, I'll need to know who plans to play. So email me if you want to join in. cheers, Di ------------------------------------------------------- |

Hey all, there is a talk this friday that some of you may be interested in. I missed last week's talk though I wish I would have gone. If any of you attended, feel free to email us what it was about and if it was cool :-) Cheers, Andres ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: derrick.parkhurst <de...@hc...> Date: Tue, 8 Feb 2005 10:25:16 -0600 (CST) Subject: [massmail] HCI Seminar To: hci...@hc..., mas...@vr..., hci...@hc..., cog...@ia... Following on from the successful discussion on online gaming and story telling last week, the reading for the HCI seminar this Friday will explore game play with sociable robots. The reading is: Brooks, A. G., Gray, J., Hoffman, G., Lockerd, A., Lee, H. & Breazeal, C. (2004). Robot's play: interactive games with sociable machines, ACM Computers in Entertainment, 2(3), 1-18. PDF Link : http://hcvl.hci.iastate.edu/~derrick/HCISEMINAR/p10-brooks.pdf ABSTRACT Personal robots for human entertainment form a new class of computer-based entertainment that is beginning to become commercially and computationally practical. We expect that the principal manifestation of the robots' entertainment capabilities will be socially interactive game playing. We describe this form of gaming and summarize our current efforts in this direction on our lifelike, expressive, autonomous humanoid robot. Our focus is on teaching the robot via playful interaction using natural social gesture and language. We detail this in terms of two broad categories: teaching as play and teaching with play. ************************************************************************* Th HCI seminar is a weekly seminar open to all faculty and students in HCI related disciplines. Each week we will read and discuss one or more articles on the latest research in Human Computer Interaction from a multi-disciplinary perspective. We meet Friday mornings at 9am in Room 20 of Howe Hall. The reading for each meeting will be announced and a pdf of the reading will be made available in advance. Everyone is encouraged to attend as desired and suggestions for weekly readings are welcome. Hope to see you there, and feel free to bring a coffee and breakfast! ************************************************************************* -- Derrick Parkhurst, PhD Assistant Professor The Department of Psychology and The Human Computer Interaction Program Iowa State University Ames, Iowa, 50011 der...@hc... http://hcvl.hci.iastate.edu/ (office) 2624b Howe Hall 515-294-4549 (lab) 2624 Howe Hall 515-294-4922 --- To subscribe or unsubscribe, send email to maj...@vr... with this in the BODY of the message: subscribe massmail -OR- unsubscribe massmail --- |

Dear Open Source developer I am doing a research project on "Fun and Software Development" in which I kindly invite you to participate. You will find the online survey under http://fasd.ethz.ch/qsf/. The questionnaire consists of 53 questions and you will need about 15 minutes to complete it. With the FASD project (Fun and Software Development) we want to define the motivational significance of fun when software developers decide to engage in Open Source projects. What is special about our research project is that a similar survey is planned with software developers in commercial firms. This procedure allows the immediate comparison between the involved individuals and the conditions of production of these two development models. Thus we hope to obtain substantial new insights to the phenomenon of Open Source Development. With many thanks for your participation, Benno Luthiger PS: The results of the survey will be published under http://www.isu.unizh.ch/fuehrung/blprojects/FASD/. We have set up the mailing list fa...@we... for this study. Please see http://fasd.ethz.ch/qsf/mailinglist_de.html for registration to this mailing list. _______________________________________________________________________ Benno Luthiger Swiss Federal Institute of Technology Zurich 8092 Zurich Mail: benno.luthiger(at)id.ethz.ch _______________________________________________________________________ |

Sorry, there is no gamedev meeting tonight, we've all been really busy getting Treefort Wars ready for the GDC and we don't have much to present. There will also be no meeting during spring break, and the week after spring break is the GDC so we will all be in San Jose. Regular GameDev meetings will resume April 1st... for real :) Andres |

Greetings, The ISU Game Developers' Club will meet again this Thursday at 8 pm (Howe Hall room 1220). This week we are going to do something a little different, we are going to check out some "Emerging Technologies". Andrew Fischer is going to demonstrate the Phantom force-feedback stylus: a pen on the end of a robotic arm that can be used to touch and feel 3D objects in a virtual world! It is the coolest thing so you should definitely come! Andrew will talk about what it's currently being used for in the engineering industry, and we will discuss possible computer-game applications. Andres Reinot, VP Evan Rothmayer, P (check out http://isugamedev.sf.net for more info about the club.) |
