Big-O, the Halting Problem, Finite State Machines, and more are concepts that get
even more interesting in the real world. Come and hear Tom Rathborne talk about how theory

<p>Come out to a talk by Alfe Clemencio!</p>
<p> Many people want to make games as signified by all the game development
schools that are appearing everywhere. But how would you do it as a UW
student? This talk shares the experiences of how making Sakura River
Interactive was founded without any Angel/VC investment.
</p>
<p> The talk will start off with inspiration drawn of Co-op Japan, to it's
beginnings at Velocity. Then a reflection of how various game
development and business skills was obtained in the unexpected ways at
UW will follow. How the application of probabilities, theory of
computation, physical/psychological attraction theories was used in the
development of the company's first game. Finally how various Computer
Science theories helped evaluate feasibility of several potential
incoming business deals.
