Carnegie Mellon University are creating 4 minigames per week as part of their assignment for their Masters of Entertainment Technology degrees.
Here are the rules they must follow
The Rules:
* each game must be made in less than 7 days
* each game must be made by one person, including all art, sound, and programming
* each game must be based around a certain “toy” ie. “gravity”, “vegetation”, “swarm”, etc.
Some are really good games, some are so-so, but you have to think that they’ve all been done in 7 days and by only one person per game.

Psh, I submitted this over 2 weeks ago, before it was Kotaku’d (nobody listened : (). Daedalus also submitted it recently.

thats great that they get a challenge like that. Imagine one of them making a rev game. these people are the future game makers, lets give it up for them and the indie crowd.

Oh, Carnegie Mellon. You so crazy
I used to live in Pittsburgh, man. Those cats have a reputation for being on top of the game. I wonder what a breakneck pace like this will teach them as designers.
