Playful in Brighton

Iain Tait emailed us to tell us about this great event in Brighton on Wednesday December 10th (8pm-10pm)£5 App Meet

A meet-up for programmers, web developers and designers to discuss and showcase their “£5 apps” – lightweight software created by one or two people who take a simple idea and run with it.

For the first talk Aleks Krotoski will be talking about Spaceship (http://www.toastkid.com/Spaceship.html) a “text adventure built by the collective hivemind of The Guardian gamesblog’s community”.

Then there’ll be several demos (along the lines of previous DemoCamps), but with a gaming theme. If you’ve got a game (or something game-like) you’ve built that you’d like to demo and talk about for 5-10 minutes mail the organisers at demo AT fivepoundapp DOT com.

We here at Pixel-Lab are hoping to come down, but it is a long way for us (all the way from Derby and Nottingham). The night is being sponsored by mobile design agency Ribot, a team of splendid chaps who I actually want to have a chat about what they’re doing with gestural interfaces on the Android platform and whether they might have anything to say at Playful ‘09…
