As the first educational institution in the world to offer a Bachelor of Science degree program in Game Development, DigiPen Institute of Technology introduces participants to the concepts of video game production in this webcast series. Presenters will demonstrate the key stages in the process of developing the core game engine through the creation of a "top-down shooter" game called "Star Trooper," using Visual C# 2005 Express Edition, the new lightweight integrated development environment from Microsoft designed for beginner programmers.

So let’s speculate on what else the “Do no Evil” campaign has installed for us.

A. G Messenger?
Probability: 90%

As Page stated, 70% of the company’s resources are directed towards searches and related services and only 20% of the company’s income are allotted for the development of other services, like Froogle for instance.
But Page also stressed the importance of online social communication, and considering that out of the 20% allotted to other types of services, Google was able to launch Gmail, the chances for an instant messaging program are very high.

It’s hard to believe the growing popularity of these services and the fact that they represent excellent advertising platforms has not been taken into consideration by Google.
Hello, the photo sharing service, already contains the seeds of an IM service and let’s not forget Orkut, an online social communication network, which is affiliated to Google.
So don’t be shocked if in a short time you will add G Messenger or Google Messenger to your list of messengers along with Yahoo and MSN.
