“You Make IT Smart: Code – Play – Win” Game Programming Competition Closed
The “You Make IT Smart: Code – Play – Win” campaign has been inviting Swiss students to find out how to program their own Xbox game, download free* software, complete free online learning courses and take part in competitions with great prizes. As a part of the campaign, we are distributing up to 150 free Xbox 360 Arcade consoles.
Out of the 150 Xbox 360 Arcade consoles were promised to distribute 120 consoles via Game Programming Competition for the 120 first students completing the Game Programming Exercise with Microsoft XNA Game Studio. We have now received 120 XNA games that have been programmed according to the instructions and have awarded consoles for all these 120 lucky winners. This means that the “You Make IT Smart: Code – Play – Win” Game Programming Competition is now officially closed. We thank Swiss student for their active participation and warmly congratulate the 120 winners.
We are still distributing up to 30 Xbox Arcade consoles as a part of the campaign:
