Finished University Today!

[Mr Hobbles]

Hey, sorry guys but I just had to post this...has my last EVER day of uni today!

I'm officially finished! My dissertation and project were handed in last week and today I had my final presentation. Also had my honours showcase today where I sat in a steaming hot room with all my friends for two hours, showing off our projects to prospective employers who had come to have a look.

My project and dissertation was a study into how web technologies could be used in the development of cross-platform multiplayer games. I developed an actual game prototype, you can find it at http://www.warzonegame.com (Be gentle, it's on an old Pentium 3 server sitting under my coffee table!). If you're curious and want to play it you'll need someone to play against.

I'm still in a bit of a daze, not sure quite what has happened, but I'm sure it'll hit me like a tonne of bricks sooner or later. I got quite a few job offers today, including a few from the university which are surprisingly well paid. Not quite sure what I'll do yet, I'll take a few days and sleep a bit before I do anything. Graduation isn't until July 3rd!

Anyway, sorry. Couldn't contain it!

PS: My course was BSc (Hons) Web Design & Development at Abertay University. Good course if anyone's fancying it!

Congrats! I'm trying to play that game too but there are no opponents for me yet.

Did you really have to rub that in my face?! I'm still writing on my thesis!

Congrats! Yes, sleep a bit before you make a decision. When someone has completed university, I think they all deserve a bit of sleep and time in which they can switch off their brains completely. I must still keep my brain going!

But I'm a bit confused. You said you did a BSc (honours) course, but you also mentioned your "dissertation". In my country a dissertation is a paper to obtain a doctor's degree.

I think over here it depends on the course. I had to do a 6 month dissertation and project. I know you also have to do them for masters and doctorates too.

Cheers for signing up but get a friend or two on and play against each other! My friends tell me its fun. :)

Congrats Mr Hobbles !

Now go to sleep for a week and then enter the real world with real work just like Athos said!

I'm still in a bit of a daze, not sure quite what has happened, but I'm sure it'll hit me like a tonne of bricks sooner or later.

Ton of LEGO bricks I hope !
