Mike Reddy from Newport University has been helping the teams refine their ideas and strategies. Here’s a few videos of him in action.
First with the University if Derby team:

And then a couple with Team Preparation H:

Friday, March 19th, 2010And this is before they’ve been up all night. Heavens only knows what they’ll look like tomorrow afternoon…
We’re at Huddersfield University for the second X48 of this year. The theme is Giants and the teams started work a couple of hours ago.
As before we’ll be using the Twitter to chronicle the day so use the #x48 hashtag if you want to be noticed.
We’ll also be roaming around with a video camera trying to get something from all the teams on the X48 Vimeo channel.
To kick things off, here’s Team Crunch Bunch bringing one of their team members up to speed. This game sounds rather good…

We’re rifling through all the post-X48:Birmingham gubbins this week – hopefully we’ll get around to playing some of the games. In the meantime, Matt Harrington from Manchester Met and Team RaaR e-mailed us this video of their game 2492. It seems there was a bit of a muddle up and the game didn’t actually get handed in, so we hope this little feature will go some way to remedy that. It looks damn good, and the hyper chip tunes make us want to get a go on it…
Monday, March 1st, 2010The games were submitted, the judges judged and the results were announced a few minutes ago.
First the category awards:
Video footage explaining what those categories actually mean will follow later.
Now the winners in reverse order.
Again, video footage to follow.
Thanks to all the teams for their absurd levels of work and commitment, to the judges, our hosts at BCU and everyone else. It’s been real.
Saturday, February 20th, 2010Your intrepid social reporter wasn’t intrepid enough to be on the overnight shift so has been reduced to scouring Twitter to see what happened. Here’s a snapshot:
At 5pm yesterday I took a quick snapshot of the mood in this video. Then everyone was freshfaced and raring to go. How does it compare to 19 hours later?
Still four hours to go…
Saturday, February 20th, 2010Hackers love pizza. Nuf said.
Saturday, February 20th, 2010Not only do the coders have to cope with time limits and dangerous blood-sugar levels, they also had the distraction of a funfair outside on Saturday evening. Shiny lights… Ooh, pretty shiny flashing lights…
Thankfully it’s not on all night or we might have found half the room glued to the windows like zombified acid casualties…
