Secondly it aims to steer young people into this industry by providing how-to tutorials and giving them the opportunity to show their ideas and demos to the gaming industry. The conference will concentrate mostly on the programming of games, with special emphasis on simulation, AI and fuzzy sets, and physics related computer graphics. Next to that, all of this will be fused in the topic of computer game design in stand-alone and networked games. Software providers will be able to show their latest packages and give hand-on tutorials for the participants. Companies will also have the opportunity to seek new talent at this event. The conference will cover: Games Systems and State-of-the-art, Modelling and Simulation, Animation, Games Design and Development, Intelligent Systems, Evolutionary Systems and Artificial Life, Graphics and Virtual Reality and European Projects. Students are encouraged to show demos of their work to the companies present at the conference. The best demo will receive a cash prize from the organizers. Furthermore, we will initiate a competition in game problem solving.
