Lectures

Note that pages might change, even just before or just after a lecture. The lecture notes are intended as an aid, but are no replacement for attending class.

Also, here is the example game using the "universe" teachpack.

Local section:

I did record a the first week's lectures, but (a) the audio is poor (and, volatile), as I often talk away from the built-in mic; (b) you can't see anything I write on the board (which can be a fair chunk). So these may be eminently unhelpful, but heck, the data is here, so have at!
