Dr. Boult, knows lots of life is like a race. It is often fun, but it also takes hard work and practice to succeed. Racing is not something you learn in a lecture. You learn by doing and practicing. The same is true in innovation and that's the core behind the BI program's team experience.

Dr. Chamillard finishing the Vineman Triathlon, 2.4 mile swim, 112 mile bike, and 26.2 mile run. The BI in GDD is a bit like a triathlon with different facets all contributing to your overall performance. This is a serious degree that is going to take work and practice both in your areas of strength and in other areas needed to succeed.

About InnoGame | Play! | Highscore Table

The Bachelor of Innovation Game (InnoGame) is an adventure game that helps you learn about various aspects of the BI program and the innovation process. As you make your way through the various levels, you'll improve you knowledge and your score - and even battle an evil librarian and a radioactive bookworm! You'll also get a fraction of the score of people you refer to the site, and a fraction of the people they refer, and so on. The High scores will get their choice of prizes ranging from an Personal Medial Player (PMP), gift certificates, or tee shirts. Player may also win prizes at random, so everyone has a chance.

This Java-based applet game is still under construction by Dr. Chamillard and a group of students (full credits below). The first level was released on November 27, with frequent updates following. It is now keeping scores and storing results in our DB, so now its for real. Thanks to A.J. Purkett, a UCCS freshman, for doing all the score system development.

You should also note that this game was developed from scratch (no game engine code or anything) in less than two months by the team below. Students who helped include two juniors, two sophomores, and ten freshmen!

Level 4 was just released on 4 April; go check it out!

Future Plans: We know that collision detection isn't working as well as it could, and we plan to fix that when we get to it. We even know HOW to fix it, we just have to find the time!

Known Bug: After playing the game, you need to exit your browser and start it up again to play the game again. We're still trying to figure out what's causing this and how to fix it.
