Nisarg Patel won an award for his video game “Jungle Hunt” at a demonstration day for computer science students.
The School of Computer Science’s Demo Day is about students creatively solving societal problems via computer programming projects.
The 11th CS Demo Day did not disappoint with more than 20 presentations including research and real-time projects from current undergraduate and graduate students.
With projects from students in the Master of Applied Computing (MAC) program, along with computer science master’s students and undergraduates, the students shared their programming projects covering topics from monitoring water quality to video games.
MAC student Nisarg Patel won best presentation with his survival video game Jungle Hunt, where players of all ages must battle zombies and a zone of fire.
“This game involves locomotion where you can move in all eight directions — you can jump and crouch; you can switch weapons,” says Patel.
“I am a game lover, so I wanted to learn new trending technologies and this project’s main purpose is to learn new technology such as animation, scene generators, and other features.”
These projects received awards at the end of the day:
- Best Overall Innovative Project: Ecosystem Simulation (Harjot Singh)
- Best Presentation: Jungle Hunt (Nisarg Patel)
- Best Research: DataInsight: Big Data Analytics Services (Helia Hedayati) and Enhancing Intrusion Detection Systems (Shivangi Singh, Hetvi Patel, Anand Vadukul)
- Best Applied computing: Aqua-Alert: Enhanced IoT-Based Water Quality Monitoring Using Multivariate Analysis and Real-Time Visualization (Dhruv Harshadbhai Patel, Akshat Soni, Nishant Jethva, Aniket Patel)
