This year we will have a new and at least as challenging tasks as in the past. Participants will learn fundamentals of game design, learn basic game-development techniques, learn necessary programming skills and use them to create a fully functioning game. Bring your laptops (Windows) and enthusiasm to work on interesting and challenging tasks. Everything else will be provided by the CS students and professionals from the University of Kentucky.
