How The Game Is Played

First ever darkstar training course comes to an end

Well,

This past week I spent giving a week long course in Darkstar to a number of Sun technical representatives from all over the world. We had attendees from China, Korea and Australia just to name a few.

The week was broken up into morning lectures of anywhere from 45 to 120 min (with breaks) and afternoon labs where they did real Darkstar coding. The labs included a simple matchmaker, a full Blackjack game, and a tiny action game complete with dead-reckoning and server-side collision detection. Look for some form of the slides and labs to be available for general down load in the not too distant future.

Another note: I lied last blog. There IS one date on the road map. I guess the team felt confident enough to release that.
