Comments
Asked Judd Simantov if he would be keen for the AMA and he gave a preliminary 'yes'!
I presume no one will complain about his attendance :P.
They certainly do. Lots of the games people bring are for mobile.
You are welcome.
@kimardamina Of course! Don't even ask that! :P If it's a game, we want to play it :).
Everyone: someone representing the Local Entellect AI Challenge wants to come chat to us about the competitions and chat a little bit about AI perhaps :).
Judd just got hit by a whole bunch of work, so he won't be able to make it tonight! :)
He'll be at the next meetup, though! :)
Invader Crush (working title) (maybe) got a lot more feedback than I anticipated, thanks everyone who chatted with me :D I have a few solid changes to make to it before I make the next release (will be this week) (and will be on testflight or something where people can play on device, so I'm gonna see how that works!)
The Entellect talk was fun (for me at least)! Hope you all enjoyed it! Perhaps we should have some more AI stuff in the future? :)
I hope everyone plays around with something for Entellect :).
