Hull Imagine Cup Success

The “Instinctive Input” team show off their certificates. If you look really closely you will see that they are all individually signed by Bill Gates. Well done folks.

We didn’t win, but one of the two teams we sent down to compete in the UK Imagine Cup Finals came a creditable third place. Many congratulations to the “Instinctive Input” team who took there eye tracking system down to Reading, hardware demonstration and all, and managed to put on a great show by all accounts. 

Congratulations to the Outcry team as well, who also got a finalist place. I’m really pleased that Hull managed to get two teams into the UK finals for the Software Development Challenge, this must make Hull the most successful entrant in the UK competition.

The teams had a great time down at Microsoft UK Headquarters. They saw demos of the latest technology and presentations from UK Game Development houses. Great stuff. I’ll have some more pictures and team details next week.

For Hull the Imagine Cup story is not quite over though. Christophe and Daniel found out earlier this week that they have made it through to the next round of the Game Development competition.

When you say game development comp.
You don't mean the Windows phone game, right?

I don't. I mean XNA Game Development comp.

The Windows Phone game competition is still out there and closes next month. And you really should enter.

Thank you for the endorsement.
We do fully intend to enter that one.

Want me one of those nice looking phones :]

Out of curiosity, if the entered game passes Microsoft's certification, can it be placed on the windows phone marketplace?
