On Saturday I presented the 3D engine you may have seen me mention at the Coolest Projects

The day lasted from 8:00AM to 6:00PM, there was hundreds of other projects to check out and some were pretty interesting. I stood at my stand(Despite being a very well prepared event, there were no chairs...) for roughly 5 hours to present it to anyone who showed an interest, and eventually a panel of judges, although I didn't win any category, they seemed impressed so I got what I wanted on that front. The rest of the day was spent checking out other projects, some of the sponsors of the event had set up stands where they showcased projects, deals etc. Intel had a good stand with a security quiz and cipher card thingy which was generated with a different username/pass each time, which kept my dad happy.

At the end of the day was an awards ceremony, there was a certain amount of winners for each category based on their size, and when they announced the winners for my category, some people were rather... upset. It was quite funnny, one guy took a photo of his middle finger pointed at the stage and tweeted with #coolestprojects2015.

I might go next year with the same project, but all swagged out with fancy graphical features and a better demo.
