Here’s another site you might find interesting (or at least the links from it).

Hi Jean-Claude,

Sorry, Edward updated the game last night and put up a new version of SOTT… Have fun trying it out. When you unzip it, you should find a file called ‘questions.cs’, this is the one you’ll want to modify to put your own questions in.

Tony, great idea about using a games tournament as a marketting strategy… look forward to hearing how it goes! Some students here are excited about a similar idea!

Michael - looks like a wonderful application! I’d like to see in detail how easy it would be to exchange content with our EduFrag mazes. However, when I tried downloading from Edward’s blog it gave me a dead link.

Hi Michael,

Great work from all at Bklue Mountains. It also falls into another realm we are looking at in the Hunter where we might try and run a games tournament as a marketing strategy. One of the drawbacks of course would be the firewall etc. Anyway I look forward to more developments.

Thanks for the link Ian! (Looks like there’s lots of great reading there… you’ve always got amazing links!)

I edited the post before I saw your comment… but no, I wasn’t thinking of UT when I said “Unreal” ;-)

Hey Michael,
sounds interesting. You might also be interested in Gamasutra’s feature on the Serious Games Summit from this year.

Also - I liked the fact that you end your post regarding First-Person Shooters with the name of a classic one. Intentional?
