[games_access] Devil's Tuning Fork: IGF Student Showcase Winners

[Sandra Uhling]

Hi,


The student winners of the IGF 2010 student competition were announced. As
you can imagine, there are high quality works among them, some have really
innvative things to show.

My interest went to the game "Devils Tuning Fork". It's basically a game in
the style of a "first person shooter", but the interesting detail is
provided by the texturing. The game is inspired by works of M.C. Escher and
the echo-sounder / echo-location communication (like dolphings and bats do).
You strife through blackness, until an "sound-event" is taking place. From
there a lightwave is illuminating the scene. One of your tools is a "tuning
fork", that dispatches sound waves. The goal of this game was to "explore a
new mode of perception through sound visualization." Like if you were
playing with your ears....
