Conceptualisation I
by Subby on Jan.18, 2009, under Conceptualisation, Meeting Outlines
Follow-up
Platform
School only has 2 Xbox 360 for possible loan. Anselm’s still on the way. I might be able to loan one from friend who works at Microsoft. We’d try to develop for PC with Xbox 360 controllers first. At least for initial few releases until we can settle deployment problems for the Xbox. Worst case scenario would be to fully develop on PC and port to 360 at the end of the day.
Meetings
Meeting timing with Dr Ashraf is tentatively set for Thursdays or Fridays. To check with Claude.
Game Design
To-Do
- Check pricing of Xbox controller + bluetooth dongle
- Update: 75.90 per piece w/o dongle
- Arrange fixed timing for meetings with Claude & Dr Ashraf as well as free time for group programming/discussion. To be confirmed once tutorials are allocated.

Hi guys,
FYI, in general, Thursdays would be better than Fridays for me.
Additionally, you can find wired xbox controllers for PC (we had some ordered from Microsoft, but they went through a shop in Sim Lim). I’ll try to see if I can find the provider for you guys, might be cheaper ! (and still works on Xbox
)
