First Week in EAE

        Hi Guys!!! Waddup? This is my first week in the Entertainment Arts and Engineering: Master Games Studio and everything is already so exciting. I knew that we would be creating games but was not expecting at all that it would be for a client who may purchase it. We are creating a game for the Bee-Hive Cheese Company. That is GREAT!!! :D

        Our Profs, Bob Kessler a.k.a. THE GODFATHER and Roger Altizer a.k.a. THE GAME MASTER, challenged us with MOAI. Oh, you don't know what MOAI is? Even I don't know yet :P. But yes, I am figuring it out and enjoying it. How can we not enjoy it? We are creating games :D. MOAI is an SDK for making games on various platforms. Lua is the programming language used for MOAI. But the problem with MOAI is the documentation. Proper documentation for MOAI is not available. It's difficult to understand how to use the functions. So that increases the challenge. Lets see how it goes.

         This game is created in teams. Working with a team is a great experience. It is, in its real sense, preparing us to work in a professional environment. Co-ordinating with the team members, discussing the issues faced, sharing ideas etc. is what gives us this experience.

         This First Week in EAE was much better and amazing than expected. Looking forward to the great experience in the coming 2 years. I will be there with my next blog post very soon :).
