AGDC07: Designing for EverywhereSeptember 5th, 2007 |
Here are the slides for my presentation today. For once, you should be able to get the gist of what I said without needing to read or hear the actual lecture alongside the slides. I suppose that makes this a “bad use of Powerpoint” — but I swear I didn’t just read the slides.

If that doesn’t work for you, there’s also a PDF (3.8MB). But I notice a lot of the graphics are wonky looking, including all the backgrounds.
Lastly, here’s a page with every slide as images.
Astute readers will notice that I stole a comment from the estimable Dr. Bartle.

However, there does appear to be a 3D terrain editor
