An extraordinary piece of work. An almost full game engine, albeit it partly atarted by one team member in advance, with its own scripting engine for a wide variety of tasks. The team were a varied mix, two of whom ahd no games programming experience, being Erasmus exchange students from France.

One academic comment was - 'that's A+ material', another was 'how can anyone follow that piece of work' (in reference to otehr students project yet to be marked. This academic - DrJNS - can honestly say he has never seen a piece of work so rich, functional and useful created by a group of 3rd year students.

Other words: it was developed under Linux, and runs on Windows and should run on OSX. It has directional sound, camera angle/rails choices, physics, ... It was a real pleasure to sit down and see this product.

A word on the development: the team were remarkably coherent and ahndled well the principal input of the par-developer of the engine, and his central role without becoming overwhelmed. Conversations during the semester showed an excellent grasp of the developing sofwtare and its purposes by all team members. Although the team did tend to arrive rather tardily at the labs, they were always professional in their working in the labs and their interfacing with the two producers (academics.)

A difficlt act for next eyar to follow! 90%.
