			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>So one of the other things I worked on at <a href="http://linux.conf.au/">Linux.conf.au</a> was a project <a href="http://shenki.net">Joel Stanley</a> started, &#8220;Open Velociraptor Per Child, the Game!&#8221;.</p>
<p>The game comes out of the <a href="http://velociraptorz.org/">Open Velociraptor Per Child</a> project&#8217;s ideas. The OVPC project aims to give every child in the world their very own Velociraptor. The game simulates what would happen if this project was ever to achieve it&#8217;s wonderful but lofty goal.</p>
<p>My main contribution was adding support for (<i>very bad</i>) collision detection, scoring and difficult levels. However, what I spent most of my time was spent making bad programmer art, that of the particularly gruesome child death animation. I like to think it was this artwork that meant we won top spot at the <a href="http://games.sericyb.com.au/">Gaming Miniconf</a> competition, beating the &#8220;Shave Bdale&#8221; game.</p>
<p>You can download the game from the <a href="http://git.sugarlabs.org/projects/one-velociraptor-per-child">git repository</a>. Have fun!</p>
