Start: Jul 15 2017 12:30 End: Jul 15 2017 16:30 Location: Infoxchange, 33 Elizabeth St. Richmond Link: http://luv.asn.au/meetings/map Andrew Pam will be demonstrating a range of video games that run natively on Linux and explicitly include programming skills as part of the game including SpaceChem, InfiniFactory, TIS-100, Shenzen I/O, Else Heart.Break(), Hack 'n' Slash and Human Resource Machine. He will seek feedback on the suitability of these games for teaching programming skills to non-programmers and the possibility of group play in a classroom or workshop setting. There will also be the usual casual hands-on workshop, Linux installation, configuration and assistance and advice. Bring your laptop if you need help with a particular issue. This will now occur BEFORE the talks from 12:30 to 14:00. The talks will commence at 14:00 (2pm) so there is time for people to have lunch nearby.
