Finally each team presented their prototype of the serious game. It was really impressive so see how much effort the teams put into their game. All teams came up with lots of different ideas which where both creative and interesting. Great JOB!

We hope you all enjoyed the IP and of course the blog! Again you are very welcome to leave your comments.

Quiz
Project rooms

Finally we got a winner for the quiz: Andreas is the smart guy – congratulations! The correct answer was 4711

After an other day working on the game, the project rooms do all look the same.

And finally a small hommage to our master of photography (anyone remember Kriss Kross by the way ?)

Day 11: Quiz & CCD

Admin — Fri, 26 Feb 2010 08:23:01 +0000

As promissed yesterday we have a small quiz today.

What is the code to open this door? (The numbers that occure will also be accepted as a correct answer)

Since I was asked today: The correct combination is a famous number in computer science and often used (like the term “Foo” is). And since this combination is used here at HiST as well I thought it might be famous here too. We will see if the combination is realy international, thats why we will also accept the numbers contained in the code as a correct answer!

Please send a mail with your answer to iptrondheim@gmail.com

All teams had their first concurrent design (CCD) session today!

Thanks for the nice evening at Tyholt tower yesterday. We had a good time, good and a lot of pizza and of course a fantastic view

We got an other chance to talk to Tore Arnesen from Statoil and he seems to be very interested in our ideas so far. He also mentioned to visit us next Friday when we all present our prototypes. Thanks again for the support!

And finally this is he cool guy of the day. Sorry Dale, but I thought nobody should miss that picture.

Hopefully all of you like the blog so far! If you have any funny pictures, stories or whatever might be interesting for all the others – just let us (any of the austrian guys) know.

Note: Tomorrow there will be a quiz on the blog which you should not miss. There will also be a “great” price for one of those who will solve it => make sure to read the blog tomorrow!!!
