Pong (gamemaking at UiO)
This semester, to my joy, Ping (Program, Information- and Networks-technological Group), a student union at the faculty of Informatics at the University of Oslo decided they wanted to gather students to create computer games. Cleverly, they named this group Pong. (It’s clever because Ping Pong is recognized as the very first (successfull) computer game ever created).
We gather once in the week at Ping’s premises, are randomly split into groups and have three weeks to come up with a game concept and create a computer game out of it. After three weeks, we are randomly split into new groups for another game. The games are programmed using the library Allegro in the programming language C. Most of us are informatics students, with expertise in different areas; programming, artmaking and sound engineering. I signed up for artmaking.
