April 17, 2014
GAINESVILLE, Fla. — Battlesnake Deathmatch and Dungeonesque are just two of the computer games developed by University of Florida students that will be demonstrated from noon to 4 p.m. April 21.
Students from Artificial Intelligence for Computer Games and Theory & Practice of Multimedia Production will host the Ninth Annual “Game Day” open house to demonstrate computer games they have developed this semester. This event will be held in the hallway on the ground floor of the CSE building on the UF campus.
The games developed this year include:
Battlesnake Deathmatch: A 3-D action game in which one to four players go head-to-head in high-speed pursuit of power-ups in order to sabotage each other. This game draws inspiration from classics Snake and Tron, as well as Nintendo’s Super Mario Galaxy.
