... For AU$5000!
I'm doing honors next year at
Charles Sturt University (a dissertation for the
Games Technology course), researching the possibility of implementing a generic physics library on the Nintendo DS with
Dr Ken Lodge as my supervisor.
I applied for the scholarship roughly 3 weeks ago, then based on my CV/application, was asked for an interview on last Thursday.
The interview went really well.
They asked all the standard questions - What do you like the best about your course, what are you going to do for honors, blah blah, then the all important one: "Now that the interview is almost over, is there anything you would like to add?".
"Actually, I brought along my Nintendo DS as a bit of a digital portfolio if you don't mind"
"Of course not!"
"Ok, crowd around here, so we can all see"
(The three interviewers gathered around the edge of the table to see the DS screens
)
"Now, here are 3 demos I've done on the DS".
I showed them [url=]Spider Solitaire DS[/url], A speech synthesis program I wrote with
Professor Terry Bossomaier here at the University in the Center for Research Into Complex Systems (
CRICS), and [url=]Holiday Toss[/url] (which I won US$50 for in a compo almost a year ago now).
I guess it turned out that the interview went very well for them as well!
Hurray!
