NUNUG Meeting Announcement:

Meeting night is coming up for the Northern Utah .NET User Group!

Meeting Info:
Topic: ECS Architecture, Roblox Platform
Presented by: Phil Gilmore, Ben Zaugg
Date: Thursday, 2021-07-08
Time: 06:30PM

Abstract:
We have two game dev topics this month. First, Phil will go over the ECS architecture, a design found in many game engines, including the Unity3D Data-Oriented Tech Stack (DOTS). He'll show you a very simple custom ECS engine he wrote for Kids Code Camp to give you an idea of how they work. Second, Ben will cover the Roblox Game Platform. Roblox is surprisingly versatile. On this platform, you can play games or you can make your own simple, fun games using as much or as little scripting as you like. It can also be used as a kind of modeling system that you can explore in first person. Ben will show how to edit terrain, build models and build a simple pirate game in Roblox Studio.
