Battlebots

Battlebots is an online multiplayer programming game meant to teach programming in a textual programming language. The game is designed to be suitable for younger children, but not necessarily exclusively so. The core gameplay consists of spawning tanks in a multiplayer arena and programming them in Lua to collect gold and fight each other. To add to the educational value, the game also features a proof-of-concept tutorial system and a wiki explaining basic programming concepts in Lua and the custom functions for interacting with the game environment.

  • CS: Design Project

    The CS Design Project module is one of the two final modules of the Bachelor. In the design component of this module, students show that they master the entire design trajectory, from the first informal specification of requirements by a client to the delivery and presentation of a well-documented working product. Projects are submitted by clients from either inside or outside the University. Students perform the project in groups of 3-5 students under the supervision of a teacher from the Department of Computer Science. The supervisor is also the one who assesses the process and products of the group. Project deliverables include a project proposal, a design report, a presentation and a poster.
