Our champion game programmers with their supporters at the prize giving ceremony.

For the second year running, a team of game programmers from Temasek Engineering School clinched 2nd spot in the annual Virtual X-Game National Infocomm Competition held on 3 Nov 2007. In this year's competition, the students had to program gaming spaceships using Code-Invader, and pit them against other spaceships programmed by 11 other rival teams. The performance of the spaceships depended on the movements and strategies which had been programmed into them.
