225.jpgSaturday, Dec. 18, the students in this semester's EECS 494 class, Computer Game Design and Development, displayed their term projects to the public in the Duderstadt Center.

Nearly 200 people attended, and had a great time trying out the games that the students had developed. Both single-player and multi-player games were presented. Along with the chance to play new and innovative games and enjoy refreshments, the evening included a raffle of computer games donated by Electronic Arts and Microsoft.

Attendees voted on the best games, and the winners, shown above, were:

1. Puck Off: A frantic multiplayer party game where the winner is the first to clear their area of pucks.
Kevin Cheng, Toby Long, Andrew Roskamp

2. Road to Victory: A full 3D third person team game based on Unreal Tournament. Attendees were stunned!
Nuttapong Chentanez, Galen Elias, Arthur Tomlin

3. Dodgem3D: A multiplayer game where players attempt to collect balls, shoot them at their opponents, and avoid perils in the many levels.
James Allen, Nathaniel Hramits, Nicholas Piegdon

All of the games are available free from http://www.eecs.umich.edu/~soar/Classes/494/showcase-2004/Games.htm.

The instructors for this course were Prof. John Laird and Prof. Sugih Jamin.
