Your group should produce a demo, which is a completed segment of your final game. The demo should show all aspects of the game working together, and should be indicative of the completed gameplay.
This will be a hands-on crit, in a computer lab (with WeH5336-spec machines). Groups need to place a tarball of the compiled demo on AFS. The tarball should be created as follows:
tar cvfz name_of_game_folder.tar.gz name_of_game_folder cp name_of_game_folder.tar.gz /afs/cs.cmu.edu/academic/class/15466-f09/demos/group-names/
Come time for the crit, we will unpack into /tmp and run it:
cd /tmp tar xvfz /afs/path/to/tarball/name_of_game_folder.tar.gz cd name_of_game_folder ./name_of_game
Please take some time to set up the tarball so this process is quick and easy.
Each group will introduce their demo for (at most) 3 minutes, after which we will play the demo for 17 minutes, asking questions and commenting on the mechanics and gameplay feel.
