Realtime 2D Networked Sandbox Game (Working Title) - Matt Johnson, Frontier Developments

We would like to create a simple and social space where friends can get together to enjoy creating something or simply trying out other people's creations. A persistent networked 2D grid-based game where all the content is user created. From the logic to the artwork, all from a few simple pre-defined building blocks like switches, walls, floors, signs, wires, lights and more. The project will require the students to focus on aspects of a number of areas such as networking, live world management and interaction, session control, and bring these together with a little imagination, overcoming real world games development issues. Creativity in design, good cooperation and effective division of labour will be paramount.
