More than 30 students traveled from as far as Chicago to take part in the program put on by Allegro Dynamics. The program was held at the Purdue Technology Center.
Those who attended are either interested in learning the logistics behind building a video runescape, or are interested in a career in runescape programming.
Allegro Dynamics President Ben Brame said this was an opportunity to give students a chance to learn something about video runescape programming that they aren't able to learn in [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] school.
Brame said high school is one of the best times to learn [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] .
"My business partner and I both learned how to program while we were in high school," said Brame. "We think [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.]'s the best time to learn. The best programmers out there learn at that age and start really early, so we wanted to give other kids that opportunity."
The program ran from 9 a.m. until 4 p.m. on Saturday.
Brame said that by the end of the program, the hope was that participants learned the basic tools of animation, writing software and how to put together a basic 2-Dimensional runescape.
