It's dealt with by our commercial unit, MUSL, not me but I know they are on the case after their own fashion. There are only a few places left so the course should be going ahead, and you are all registered. If you haven't paid though, we may have a problem when we exceed the 30 places if new people want to pay when they register ... Re Elliot's question above. The range of eligible people enquiring has been wide, from a 16 year old US coder to a producer at a large games company. I intend to try and cater for the range of ability by providing a set of functions which are easy to use and hide much of the complexity, but I will also provide a more detailed commentary about functions so more able people can get into the nitty gritty if they want to. Either way there should be significant documentation and examples that should be of use after the course. Much of the documentation should go out (hopefully) 2 weeks before the course so I'm hoping people will hit the ground running. The basic intention is to produce a 2D and a 3D demo in the week working in teams. We won't cover sound other than simple sfx as we don't have the kit at this site. We have 15 copies of 3DS max but we will not spend too long on this as we will have to concentrate on the Yaroze. The basic idea is to get people up and running quickly, as was the intention of my 3d tutorial which seems to have helped many people (though there are problems with it I know!) ... One other thing, anybody intending to enter the GDUK competition don't forget you have to register by the end of the month. Cheers, Peter.
