For Oct 18, 2007, the meeting will be in BA 2135. Mark is going to kick it off with a second XNA tutorial on input and motion, and later Thuan will give an introduction to PyGame. Presentation notes have been already been posted - check them out. If you have a laptop, we highly recommend that you bring it so that you can have some hands-on time with XNA and/or PyGame and ask us any questions if you need help. If you do bring a laptop, be sure to install the software and have it ready along with your favorite IDE! See you then.

Thanks to everyone who came on Thursday night. IMO, it was pretty productive as some people were able to get their hands on XNA right away. We have posted the presentation notes on XNA and PHP here for those who are interested.

Next week I’ll will give a beginner’s tutorial on using Python with PyGame. This will be geared towards first year’s in Computer Science but everyone is welcome of course. If there’s anything in particular you want to know how to do, let me know and I’ll do my best to cover it.
