The TV show discusses how video games can be developed with open source tools, and also presented the game Chapas, a video game completely developed by the research group GEA.
GEA research’s group participates in the “Universidade Mostra Arte 2009″, in Curitiva, Brasil
The research group GEA has participated recently in the art exhibition celebrated in the Universidade Positivo, in Curitiva, Brasil (6th of October to 4th of November).
The exhibition “Universidade Mostra Arte” (UMA) has showed several art pieces created in Extremadura, Spain. From the exposed work of art, there are synthetic images from terrains generated by a developed technique by Miguel Frade, Francisco Fernández and Carlos Cotta named Genetic Terrain Programming (GTP).
GTP allows to create virtual terrains that can be employed in video games. The video game CHAPAS, funded by Junta de Extremadura and developed in collaboration with Claroscuro Digital, uses this technology.
