Project files

Posted on September 14, 2007 by Nuno Correia

The course has just ended. This is the link to the projects from the course:

http://mlab.uiah.fi/mediacode/coursefiles/course_2007_09/projects/

From this link, projects can be accessed (.swf files) and source code can be dowloaded (.fla files).

All of the projects contain readme.txt and screenshot.jpg files (*), to contextualize the projects.

I’ve also posted photos of course participants presenting their projects (*):

Thanks to all course participants for their enthusiasm and cool projects.
