Game Development
From LBwiki
Game development is a much-overlooked aspect of the computer industry in general, as well as the F/OSS world. Recent times have seen the birth and development of many high-quality games, such as Battle of Wesnoth, Glest, Epiar, Nexuiz and so on. The game development subtrack would seek to intiate discussion on various aspects of game development, such as ...
- Libraries - SDL, Clanlib, OpenGL, OpenAL
- Engines - CrystalSpace, WorldForge
- Mod Development - *Radiant, Creating models (overlap with "Artwork" here)
- Artwork - Creation (GIMP, Blender), getting artists involved
- Languages - Lua, Scheme, SCUMM(?) etc. for metaprogramming
- GPU Progtamming - Cg, Brook, GLSL, Sh
- Demos - Demonstrate the games that leverage the technologies we speak of, generate awe and wonder. This is for showcasing technology ... on-the-spot fragfests would create undue distraction
This is not a final list ... just a set of initial ideas
