0 EOH 2007 Cling ACM Gamebuilders Cling is a multiplayer topdown 2D game where players roll, jump, and zip around levels in an attempt to oust their fellow players with a variety of useful weapons in fun and exciting gametypes. Location: Atrium outside room 1214 This exhibit is suitable for: All Gamebuilders Minigames Physics and Electrical Engineering Professor John Bardeen becomes the only person to receive the Nobel Prize in Physics twice--the second prize was for solving the 50-year-old mystery of superconductivity (a puzzle that Einstein tried, and failed, to solve). Superconducting magnets have made possible advanced technologies from MRI to cell phones. The achievement was shared with Physics alumni, John Robert Schrieffer (MS 1954, PhD 1957), and postdoctoral fellow Leon Cooper. 1972 Distributed Music Player ACM Gamebuilders The minigame project is a compilation of three easyto-play games which are focused on bursts of fun. The projects included in this compilation is Super Einstein, Frantic Elevator, and a Tetris/ Breakout hybrid game. Location: Atrium outside room 1214 This exhibit is suitable for: All ACM SIGSoft The Distributed Music Player project is designed to allow universal multimedia access. We plan to provide the tools which make it possible for the average user to access their own media from any networked device. Location: Atrium outside room 1304 This exhibit is suitable for: All General Game Playing Dynamic Message Exchange in High-Demand Systems SIGNet An advanced networking system for immersive multimedia communications. The project showcases independent student research in robust distributed systems, and also serves as an educational display for visitors. Location: Atrium outside room 1304 This exhibit is suitable for: All ACM/SIGArt While computer programs like Deep Blue can defeat the world champions in certain games, they are specialized systems only capable of playing that game. Our goal is to create a program that can learn to play, and win, any game, given only the rules for that game. Location: 1st Floor Hallway (between east entrance and room 1304 atrium) This exhibit is suitable for: hs, adult Geometry Fox Physics alumna Rosalyn Sussman Yalow (MS 1942, PhD 1945) shares the Nobel Prize in Medicine or Physiology for the discovery and development of radioimmunoassay, a technique that employs radioactive isotopes to detect and measure the levels of insulin and hormones in the blood and in body tissues. 1977 ACM Gamebuilders Fly through space destroying as many enemies as possible in this arcade-like game. Some of the game’s features are fun music, items to add/enhance the abilities of the player, and numerous different enemies to keep the player busy. Location: Atrium outside room 1214
