KAJAK 3D ENGINE COMPETITION

Kajak3D game engine is developed in Kajaani University of Applied 
Sciences. Kajak3D is a cross-platform middleware for game and simulator 
applications. Architecture of Kajak3D is designed to be as portable as 
possible from mobile devices up to modern gaming consoles. Application 
developers do not need any knowledge of OpenGL- or DirectX interfaces, 
because Kajak3D hides these implementation details, as well a hardware 
specific issues. Therefore developers can concentrate on making of an 
application itself, which is very portable between supported platforms.

The best compo entry using Kajak 3D will get a prize of 1000 euros in 
cash. Check out more information about the engine and competition:

MUSICAL NEWS!

We are publishing our band lineup for Assembly concerts today. Machinae 
Supremacy will be playing on the main stage on Thursday 4th August and 
Press Play on Tape will be taking it on Friday 5th of August!

Don't miss this opportunity to hear both of the excellent bands. They 
are playing in the evening, so you'd need a weekend ticket to enjoy 
them. There are some more oldskool computer places available if you want 
one - or buy your normal oldskool weekend ticket from tickets.assembly.org

See you at Assembly Summer 2011 - the 20th consecutive summer event!
