Media cover computer science student showcase of original games
WLBZ (Channel 2) and WABI (Channel 5) reported on exhibitions held by computer science students at the University of Maine to showcase original games they created. “We have people that have never programmed before and we have them coming up with games that are getting close to professional quality,” Curtis Meadow, one of the computer science course instructors, told WABI. “It’s been really fun,” said student Matt Munster. “It’s been one of the few times where pulling an all-nighter has actually been really enjoyable for me. It’s been a great learning experience, and these kind of projects are just what keeps me really excited about school.” Visitors had the opportunity to play the students’ games and vote for their favorite. The teams with the most votes received cash prizes.
