2009 Summer Bash

We are having our biggest ever bash on Thursday 11th June. The department now has a licence for Team Fortress 2, and so we will be using this, along with all the usual attractions and even an Unreal Tournament programming competition.

The arrangements are as usual. Tickets will cost £2.00 and go on sale on Monday 8th of June in the Departmental Office at 10:00 am.

The bash will run from 4:00 to 8:00 pm, in room 312 of the Robert Blackburn Building, among other places....

UT Bot Contest

We will be holding a UT Bot competition as part of the Summer Bash on 11th June. You will write C# to control your player, make it find guns and ammo, and also search out and destroy other players.

You can find out how to get started by downloading a toolkit at:

This contains a sample project, a visualizer program and some notes to get you started. There will be a prize for the best bot on the night.

If you fancy yourself as a programmer, feel free to have a go. Some staff members (including me) have got bots that they are going to have a go with too.

Seats are limited for the bot competition. If you want to take part, send me an email and I'll reserve you a place.
