Recently, the relatively benign online word game Wordle ( https://www.powerlanguage.co.uk/wordle/ ) has taken over social media, with people posting green and yellow squares with little or no explanation. But what is Wordle and what is it about its design that has propelled it to an instant viral hit?
Dr. William Raffe was invited to give a few media appearances and talk about the features of the game in more detail. You can access these below:
We are very excited to announce that the FEIT Prototype Exhibition was an absolute success.
The response we received from our attendees was beyond expectations.
It was fantastic and the Gathertown environment brilliantly set up. Thank you!

Join Playmakers and Animation Guild on the 16th and the 17th of December for a final end of year horror theme game jam.
For those confused on what a game jam is, it is a competition where teams of people come together to make a game in a short amount of time (in this case, less than 48 hours!). Whether you are a veteran game programmer and designer, a talented sprite artist, an audio mixing genius or are just interested in making a game for the first time, then this is a great event to be a part of!
Calling all artists, programmers, audio and game designers! Join us for a casual evening of games and activities at the Social Jam.
UTS Animation Guild (UAG) and Playmakers are hosting a collaborative Game Jam over two days in December. In preparation for the event a 'Social Jam' will be held on Dec 6th, starting at 2pm in UTS Building 06, Lv 04, Room 40.
Throughout the event we'll play some digital and board games, and engage in collaborative activities to break the ice!
The Faculty of Engineering and IT Prototype Exhibition is an exhibition of student prototypes that is hosted each year at the Faculty. This event aims at celebrating students' successes and recognising outstanding work. This exhibition compiles the best student prototypes from all the project-based subjects in our faculty.
In light of not being able to organise our usual large in-person showcase at the moment, we will instead host this event online using GatherTown. A video chat platform designed to make virtual interactions more human.
