Recap: Spring 2008 Jam

Our First Game Jam took place Last February, and coincided with the monthly "Game in a Day" competition. It was also to coincide with a kick off for a Microsoft competition, but that never came though. Game in a Day, has sorta sputtered out. The only information I can find from them is on the Great Games Experiment.

I had 2 teams of 2 students take part.

Team One
Created a ghost catching game.
Both of these student have graduated and went off to RIT.

Team Two
Created a game called Lemon Juice. It was about driving down a tree branch collecting lemons while avoiding centipede bugs.

This team would later rebuild the centipede code in Flash for Studio 38's game competition for their submission "Infectious Munch"

They Took Second Place!

This story alone is a great reason why other schools should be doing events like this.
