I’ve just been notified that over the next 2 months, the Computer Science faculty of Delft University of Technology (in the Netherlands) will be using OGRE in one of their 2nd-year courses, the idea being that students will use it to develop a full game whilst learning about computer graphics.
They have about 60 students, who will work in teams of 5 to produce their games by the end of May, after which time we’ll put up a link to their project site. We wish them luck, and look forward to seeing what they do with OGRE!
