OBA
Free and Open
Pizza

Listen in on game design professor Knut Hybinette and student game-developers from the T.I.M.E. -Digital Arts department as they host a panel discussing both the pitfalls and liberties of game development in an educational environment. The panel will be focusing the topic towards ChromaWaves, which was developed last fall by artists and programmers in the Game Production course – a collaborative seminar between CIA and CWRU.

ChromaWaves is an ambient color mixing game for the iPhone and iPod touch platforms. Meant to be played in quick pick-up-and-play sessions, ChromaWaves adopts the multi-touch features of the iPhone for basic color-mixing and matching play mechanics. Backed with abstract visuals and sound, ChromaWaves is currently intended to be available on the AppStore this coming March.

Lunch on Fridays is generously sponsored by the Foundation and Liberal Arts Environments. Chromawaves is presented through the support of the Integrated Media Environment and the TIME department.
