Computing @ D&A College

The #DAGameJam24 has kicked off and is in full swing! The theme this year is “it’s not a glitch it’s a feature” lots of art and code already in development! @dundee_angus

So that's just about that! As we get ready for a well earned holiday, we'll be back again bigger and better next year! Have a great summer!🌞😎

The showcase demonstrated various very entertaining Computer Games, an AI robot that followed people around, a cleverly put together AI assistant/chat bot and demos of Cyber projects.

Finally, our student awards and showcase, where we took some time to recognise the hard work of the students throughout the year.

Then we had our first large scale ESports Competition, held at the Gardyne Theatre. The esports students put on an outstanding and very entertaining esports competition.

As the acdemic year draws on, we look forward to the Certificate in Computing Project time. This year the Certificate in Computing with Cyber Security participated in Robot Wars with the theme of super heroes. This was a lot of fun and hosted by George McAteer!

Our industry judges had a tough time making their decisions!

As the dark days of January came around, we had our annual Game Jam #DAGameJam23 Teams of student worked for 2 days on games covering the theme "Alone". With imagination and plenty of Pizza 🍕we had some amazing entries! #GameJam

Later in the Autumn 🍂the Certificate in Computing with Esports students organised an ESports competition in the department, which was fantastically organised and well received by everyone! 🎮🕹️ #esports

It's a wrap! 🎬🧵 It's been a busy year! And a successful one! @dundee_angus Let's look back at some of the things we've been doing... Starting with a retro games competition, where some of the younger students experienced gaming from the golden age, cassettes included! 📼

The Certificate in Computing Students have been impressing everyone with end of year #projects! The Cyber classes held the annual Robot Wars event last Thursday and today we've had an esports competition organised by the #esports classes! Both events amazing! Well done!

The Game Jam returns Thurs 19th and Fri 20th of January! Great way to start the new year! Excited to be back on Campus and making games! Delighted to be supported by Ninja Kiwi, Blackadders and Irn Bru! #gamejam @dundee_angus #dagamejam2023

Great way to start the new Semester - a talk from David Hamilton from @ninjakiwigames about his journey through the games industry! Some inspiration for students taking part in the Game Jam tomorrow! #DAGameJam2023 #gamedevelopment @dundee_angus
