XNA Workshop a blast (literally)!

First, we’d like to thank everyone who showed up for not just making the event successful but a blast as well. It was a lot of fun watching your spaceships blast each other out of the sky (Yes, Daniel--I know it is technically outer space and not the sky but it doesn’t sound as good) . You were a great group and your enthusiasm made all the effort well worth it. Congratulations go to Brett Hansen for edging out Daniel Hanson (no relation--I know their last names aren’t even the same but they sound alike) in the Finals of the AI Challenge. While Brett won what turned out to be the best of three match everyone who entered the AI Challenge got an XNA T-shirt thanks to our guest Charles. Of course no event can be a success without many people chipping in. So be sure to thank all of the following people when you see them and let them know how much we, as the students of the EECs department, appreciate their contributions:
