Space Invaders XXIst century version

During last semester I've developed my first "game", in the Graphic Computation course, here at UBI. So I've developed a new version of Space Invaders, with a 3D interface, new sounds and some bonus items. Unfortunately the game isn't has good has I expected to be, but I think that it isn't that bad too.

The game was developed on a Linux environment in C language recurring to the OpenGL library, so it will probably run only on Linux, due to some functions that will only work there (instructions for installation are in the Report.pdf in the Report folder of the game zipped file).

If you want to give a try, you're welcome, the download link is in the end of this post.

Any comment that you would like to give regarding to this project, please send it to my personal email.

My first patent

Nuno M. Garcia, Rafael Couto, Alexandre Pinheiro; Wearable wireless device for interface control; Portuguese patent number 105702, status patent pending.

This last week Professor Nuno M. Garcia received the patent pending number for a Portugal Patent Application that I, Professor Nuno M. Garcia, and Alexandre Pinheiro have submitted. Our idea is on the use of an accelerometer as a device to interface medical and surgical equipments.

Soon I'll put here the link for a paper that we're preparing to submit the idea for an international conference.

PS - I'm really proud of it, and hope that's the first of many!
