      So I know that Griffith College in Dublin are running an event as part of the Global Games Jam this year. Tipperary Institute are also listed. see http://globalgamejam.org/Locations/country

      Anyone know of anywhere else on the island thinking of participating.

      This will be our third GGJ in Thurles.

      As its a 48 hour event preregistration is required and this will open shortly.

      We expect students will create games for platforms including (subject to licence) Web, PC, Xbox, PlayStation, iPhone, Android and WP7.

      Think UU Coleraine are putting something together for this also.

      Anyone from there know any more?

      Tipperary Institute site is full. Students from TI & IT Carlow taking part. We might attempt a linkup with UU and Griffith via ustream.tv over the course of the weekend.

      meanwhile in the design bunker deep below Griffith college……… both teams , are running on nothing more then pure emphusiasm (to the extent where i have lost to ability to spell, and can now only communication in higher design ideas)

      sleep has been renegaded to the past as sweet distance memory

      Meanwhile at the legion of Doom……i mean the Griffith Design lab the both teams are hitting it hard on day two, at least i think its day two……. they all just roll together……

      actually Griffith is a pretty lively place tonight, the design lab is right beside the Griffith su bar which is packed tonight with students celebrating the Chinese new year.

      Might be hard to programme and work with a DJ banging tunes all night. Oh well on the plus side i hear there is karaoke later XD.
