WABI covers showcase of games created by computer science students
WABI (Channel 5) reported University of Maine students in an advanced computer science course showcased original games they created. Students in George Markowsky’s COS 498: Advanced Video Game Programming with Unity demonstrated a variety of games, including virtual reality, real-time strategy, network, educational and racing. The students, who spent three months creating the games, told WABI it’s a relief to be done, but a huge accomplishment to have a working game people can play. Students said there are very few rules, and they essentially have free reign over their games. “Debugging applies everywhere in life. I’m an engineer, I apply all the time the concepts I learn in this class about debugging, solving problems, about using creative thoughts to direct the outcome of something,” said Zechariah Palmeter, who created a virtual reality game.
