Are You 'Game' Enough?

30 secondary students recently got a chance to unleash their inner gamer at the ‘Unleashing The Gamer In You’ workshop held during our Open Day.

Conducted by lecturer Law Foong Li and her TECH@KDU team of students Benjamin Koh, Onneile Joyce, Hon Herng, Viventhraa and Teck Yan, the 2-hour long workshop kicked off with a small tournament on the Tic-Tac-Toe game which applies Multipoint technology.

The objective of having the tournament was so the participants could grasp the concept of Multipoint SDK (Software Development Kit). It also helped to create mental and physical readiness (read: setting the mood) for students to take part in the programming session.

So, what did the students learn?

The Concept of Multipoint SDK

Multipoint SDK allows multiple mice to access a single PC, which means application created by using Multipoint SDK can support multiple students working on a single PC at the same time.

Programming

Students also learned how to use Microsoft Visual Studio 2008, and with help, created a simple quiz-game application using Multipoint SDK.

At the end of the workshop, everyone was engrossed in playing with their customized quiz application.
