4 Workshops @ Futuresonic 2006
17 - 21 July 2006

Workshops Free
Workshop #1
Game modification - games as audiovisual tools
By Tom Bets & Alison Mealey
Through this workshop you'll learn about game modification and how to use game generated data as input for audio and/or visuals. We'll look at level design, game engines and game data, and how to use specific game generated data (i.e. coordinates) in a Digital Signal Processing application.
17 - 19 July, 11am-5pm
Workshop #2
Go Forth! - real-time graphics and 8bit sound
By Tom Schouten, Aymeric Mansoux
& Marloes de Valk (GOTO10)
Go forth! is a 2 day workshop in which you will build your own mini 8bit synthesizer using a PIC chip. Because fresh tunes simply taste better with some eye candy, we'll also teach you how to make real-time graphics. Go Forth! is based on 100% FLOSS (Free Libre Open Source Software).
20 - 21 July, 11am-5pm
Workshop #3
Controlling sound with the Blender game engine
By Enrike Hurtado & Andy Gracie
This workshop is all about the creation of simple game environments, and using them to generate sound. During the workshop, a whole system for game play and audio will be developed and, most important, played with! The game you'll develop will be playable individually and over the network.
19 - 21 July, 11am-5pm
Workshop #4
