G4G Competition 2006
The Third Annual ChicTech Retreat held on April 22nd -
23rd
Third Annual ChicTech Retreat (pronounced "Sheek-Tek") was a
huge success. With fun, awards, and honors, eight teams (27
college students) participated in the G4G competition; three teams
were in attendance to present their games in person. The G4G
entries were judged first by a team of three judges - two
professional game designers and a member of the last year's
winning G4G team - on originality, artistic merit and technical
quality. Then the TAC participants judged the games using just one
criterion: how much fun they were to play.
All games were written using the GameMaker development platform.
The 2006 G4G winners were:
First Place: Cornell University. They
created a Mario-style game where two players must cooperate to
win. One TAC participant described it as the "The best game ever!"
