Last convention organized by APTE I had the opportunity to meet Pedro Antonio Gonzalez, associate professor at Universidad Complutense de Madrid. This professor presented me the most original game I’ve seen during the last months.

In particular, an action 3D videogame -shooter style - focused on java education programming. I could main character in a ‘class’, getting ‘resources’ (killing for them), fulfilling tasks by answering questions about java, going up to the 'parent class' through an elevator, or tele-transporter by a 'Pointer'. And when I saw the stack of variables, I almost fell shocked. Why did not exist this game when I studied in college?

There is an image as an example:












They are now working on a multi-player version:), each player is a ‘thread of execution’ and will have to fight among themselves for ‘resources’. I mean, frankly, that they should have an online version.
