Hi

The Visual Gaming (not Visual Gaming High School) is open for submissions. Check out the Visual Gaming section on http://imagine.thespoke.net and http://www.project-hoshimi.com/ for details on how to compete.

Its not really a full Game-development contest but an AI coding contest. You need to code a .NET class with a defined interface that programs the various nanobots in the game. The cool part is that you can plug in classes from different people into a single game and battle your teams – to check where does your algo stand.

Visual Gaming will open for high-school submissions on 10th Jan and you can submit the same solution for the high-school category as well.

Try it out … its really cool

As Test Series+Pre-Boards approaching for students of Class XII

Pre-Boards approaching for students of Class X

It becomes very important for the Exun Members of classes VI-IX & XI to take the charge and become more active in posting articles on lnExun. From a long time, I have not seen, students posting any tech-article, and I would love to see now. The winter break will be the right time to have Exchange of your Web-Reserch, Tech_experience, Tech-readings, etc.

If you wish, we can have a VB.NET session during the winter vacation as per the suggestion given by Mr.Ashwani (Microsoft). I attended one & was really impressed by the new features introduced in it.

Good day.

Something very disturbing has come to my notice recently. Juniors are disallowed fro Egurucool premises in break.Why?

What possible positive end can be achieved by this, I’d like to know. To have all those resources and then banning people from using them is just about as productive as America’s general elections.

I can understand that they want the senior classes not to be disturbed. Fine, ban people from the stairs that lead up to the classes and down to the labs. Why ban them from the WRC?

Look at prohibition, the Nazi party or whatever you like, banning NEVER helps.

This has even worse repercussions for Exun. If the juniors are not going to meet in break, then when will they meet? The amount of info and skill that was exchanged during break was enormous, and now all that productive potential is going to go to waste.

Something must be done.

Please leave any ideas as to what that something is, in the comments.

Hi folks

Thanks to Mr. Mukesh Kumar for inviting me into ln(exun). I’m an employee with Microsoft India – currently responsible for programs related to the Academic Developer Community. I have mostly been in touch with Engineering & MCA colleges but schools cannot be far behind.

Imagine Cup – is a worldwide contest for student developers. This time there are total 12 different contest categories for 2005 edition. Do have a look at http://imagine.thespoke.net for info. Just few things i want to point out here:

a) There is a Software Design category – which will be run as an India round where we select the national winner – who travels to Yokohama for world finals. Details about that in a later posting. All other categories are being run centrally from US right up to the world finals.

b) There are 3 “high-school” categories and 9 “open” categories. So school students can participate in all 12 while a college/masters/Phd student can only participate in 9.

c) Check out details of each category – there are some which have a “country quota” for round 2, so there are more chances of qualifying.

You can reach me at ashwanis@microsoft.com for more on our programmes. I shall be happy to do a session around .NET at your school – if that is something you people whould like to have.
