It has been a long time, perhaps too long. The past couple months have been hectic for me. Between AP exams, finishing up High School and preparing for college I have had almost no time to devote to the site or any of the usual projects I work on. I am finally through all that. My high school career will be over by next week and I couldn’t be more excited.
First, a little background on what happened to SkyWolf: namely that we released it! Back in March to coincide with the North Carolina State TSA competition we put it up for public download. Between then and now we have had some problems with the link, but it is all working now! You can download it here. So on the topic of the TSA competition, how did we do? After a roller coaster of emotion involving a series of events that will forever go down as some of the most memorable in my life I am happy to say that we got second place. I would like to thank my two friends Joshua and Joseph for all their support at the competition.
Now, what of the future? Well, the future is nationals. This June my team and I are bringing SkyWolf to the national TSA competition in Baltimore Maryland. Between now and then we will be working on revamping the game in a number of aspects, the biggest of which being making it more educational. The reason for our SkyWolf missing the gold it seems was its lack of educational value. Apparently flying around shooting ships doesn’t have much social value, who knew? To remedy this we will be adding quick mental puzzles ala “Brian Age” into certain sections of the game. More information on that will be coming soon. With this improvement I think we are serious contenders for first place. It is going to be an exciting couple of months.
