Yesterday, I attended an amazing session about social spaces for games by Kunal Gupta from Babycastles, as well as an awesome game session involving Hokra and J. S. Joust by Doug Wilson. But before I go into an interesting discussion about what Kunal Gupta presented and how I think it is highly relevant to Malta, [...]
I attended the 2012 edition of the Nordic Game Jam at the IT University of Copenhagen from the 27th to the 29th of January. I was helping out during the organization of the Nordic Game Jam, as well as volunteering and jamming during the actual event. This meant that I attended organization meetings from as [...]
The first semester at ITU has quickly come and gone, and I’ve settled down fairly easily and gotten used to the Danish way of thinking. The IT University has kept me really busy, and I will explain why in a moment, hence the sudden lack of blog posts from my end. Among all the parties [...]
Almost two weeks have passed since my last post, and for good reason too. Here at the IT University of Copenhagen, we officially started lectures on the 29th of August, and were immediately loaded with loads of work to do.

The course officially starts on the 29th of August, but I decided to arrive a little earlier in order to settle lodging. Lodging was one of [...]
I’ve just been accepted for a Masters degree in Media Technology in Games at ITU Copenhagen, Denmark! The deadline for the application was the 1st of April, 2011, while the acceptance letter was posted from Denmark on the 31st of May, 2011. It arrived in Malta on the 3rd of June, 2011 (quite quick, I must [...]
I decided to take part in the ICTSA programming competition, which is renowned for having challenging problems to solve, along with a friend of mine. The problem that was released this year (described in full at the competition site) involved a robot that could traverse a map, containing different altitude values. The aim of the [...]
