Building Virtual Worlds  #Programmer

This course was a part of the immersion semester at Carnegie Mellon University's Entertainment Technology Center (ETC). As a part of this course we were divided into teams of 5 people for every round, after which the teams were shuffled. Each round lasted for 1-3 weeks where we worked in tandem with other programmers, artists and sound designers to develop interactive entertainemnt experiences.
 
All this culminated into the BVW Festival where the entire building was turned into a fun fair for hundreds of guest to experience these worlds. Around only 20 worlds were selected from amongst all the worlds through a Jury selection process.
