   Help! I started a GameDevelopment club!
  hello,in referring to my last post IEEE to add game development I started the first video game development club in Saudi Arabia (heck I think its the first college club for GD in the middle east! )Now, I'm a bigenner in this field and so is many of the people who registered so far. I'm thinking of giving a few lectures on text-base games and the whole "game logic" or game loop idea.what else can I do? thank you   
  Are there any professionals in the area you could get to speak or do some kind of presentation?  What sort of skill level do you mean by beginner?  If you're able to provide some kind of simple framework you could try running a very simple development contest - might be something to keep in mind for the future if you aren't up to it yet.Presenting information on the basics might be a good place to start if you've got a lot of beginners.  Make sure the information you present is good/factually correct though, or you'll get complaints about it eventually.Good luck with it in any place, sounds like a good thing you're trying to do. [smile]   ;  thanks Kazgoroth, sadly we dont have any professionals in Game Development around. what I can do is to get some faculty to give things related to games (Network-programming- archticture)..... still I feel that its not enough.I wanna keep this club running so that even after I graduate, I'd still enjoy being a member. thanks again and any more help and ideas are welcome.   ;  I know there are developers in Israel, at least...the Morfit/3DState engine is done there, for example.
