Winter Shorts 1: Word War Vi Laser Edition, Space Nerds in Space

SNiS Engineering screen Stephen Cameron, one of my personal heroes of game development ( Be The Wumpus ), made Word War Vi support color laser projectors using the openlase library [ blog post ]. Word War vi driving RGB color laser projector with openlaser Another project that our forum users were allowed to follow in this thread is Space Nerds in Space: So this game (when it becomes a game) is very much inspired by Artemis Spaceship Bridge Simulator See: artemis.eochu.com The idea is you have a game which is played much as the actors in the Star Trek TV series played their roles on the bridge of the Starship Enterprise. There are a number of "stations": Navigation, Weapons, Science, Communications, etc. and each player assumes that role. Each station has it's own laptop or other computer which communicates via network to a central server which simulates the game universe. So it's kind of a cooperative multiplayer network game... No reason not to have multiple team...
