University of Waterloo students placed 1st, 2nd, and also received an honourable mention at this year's Games4Girls Competition. For this contest, teams of up to four post-secondary school women create computer games for senior public school or high school girls using the “Game Maker” platform. This PC-based game development tool allows novice designers to create interesting games with basic technical skills, while providing a built-in programming language so more advanced users can customize their game program.
