My days at CeBit 2009

Wow it’s been a while since i wrote my last blog entry. But it’s time to write some new amazing things.

Well first of all, yes i attended the CeBit 2009 Fair on the Microsoft stand at hall 4. Well the project is AntMe! and we worked very hard so that people get information about the AntMe! Ltd. and the AntMe! Version 1.6. Due to the good graphic accelerators in the computers we could also show the new XNA PlugIn.

Now our main character looks like a stoned cute ant instead of a dot with six arms. But also our Bugs changed.

Yes it looks like a big stupid Monster. I like them. And also the sugar Mountains and the apples changed.

I had a lot of interesting meetings and meet a lot of cool guys. So i really had to mention our new friends from xaitment which developed a state Machine for Bots and AI. So visit there homepage www.xaitment.com to get more Information on how you can give your brainless zombie like bots some brain.

And the german TV also recognized us. Welt der Wunder.

CanControls, hubermedia and Visio had a interactive wall. And Manuel from Visio and we had a lot of fun at the Microsoft Party.

Uwe Baumann and i held the daily Patric & Uwe Show. A short 1 hour Presentation on Visual Studio Express, Coding4Fun and AntMe! You can download the PDF Version of the Presentation here. 

A lot of people asked me for the desktop background and where to download so here you go, just click on the image.

While we were travelling with the train i added a touchless to the new XNA Plugin. It worked not very well at that time. But now i finally did it. So perhaps we release this Plugin with version 1.6.1

cheers Patric
