A view of the world from the fourth floor of Parmly Hall
Students in Professor Matthews CSCI 319 Video Game Design class showcased their final games at the end of winter term.
Game Demo Day took place on Saturday, April 13 from 10:30am – 12:30pm in the Science Center Great Hall.
It was a great turnout as lots of people came and played video games!
CSCI 257-01: “A Walk Through the Ages: Using Artificial Intelligence to Understand the Evolution of Exercise,” . in this S22 course, students monitor movements on exercise trackers and examine patterns of exercise, movement and health impacts while researching the evolution of human exercise.
This course is co-taught by assistant professor of computer science Cody Watson and assistant professor of biology Natalia Toporikova.

CSCI335: Software Engineering through Web Applications showed off their projects–the Ancient Graffiti Project and ChemTutor–at Spring Fest on May 17.
Students displayed their Spring Term projects during the 2016 Festival held on May 20 on the main floor of Leyburn Library. This poster below, created by students from CSCI 335, showcases the development of high-performance software for web applications.
Thanks to (from left to right) Richard Marmorstein ’14, Alex Baca ’14, Alicia Bargar ’13 and Phil Lisovicz ’13, Washington and Lee University students have a new web application designed to make their schedule planning easier. Corsola: Scheduling Your Life allows students to choose their preferred courses and view potential schedule conflicts.

Rebecca Benefiel, associate professor of classics at Washington and Lee University, and Sara Sprenkle, assistant professor of computer science at W&L, will present their prototype of a new web application involving the ancient graffiti of Pompeii at the Linked Ancient World Data Institute (LAWDI) later this month

Twenty-three students from CSCI 250 presented six different projects at the annual W&L Spring Term Fair in Leyburn Library — so many projects that they were given their own floor of the library for the demos! Â W&L innovations included using Python to fly an AR.Drone via Kinect hand gestures and to navigate a Neato XV-11 LIDAR robot around an obstacle, as well as the cool projects depicted below (Steve Goryl photo credits).
Deirdre  and Haley used a Raspberry Pi to add sonar capability to their Brookstone Rover ‘bot.
Sam, Drew, Jok, and Darren built and programmed a robotic arm.
Michael, Stephen, and Hank built an R/C plane with remote pan-tilt camera and laptop controller.
Lee, James, and Colin programmed an AR.Drone to follow a moving ground vehicle.
Thirteen students in CSCI335: Software Engineering through Web Applications demonstrated their three team projects at the Spring Fest. Â In teams of four or five, the students gathered requirements for their project, created a static prototype, and developed a dynamic, user-friendly prototype–all in four weeks.
Each student worked on one of three projects:
The Ring Tum Phi has picked CSCI 251: iPhone Application Programming as #5 in its list of Top Ten Wildest Spring-Term Courses. Â We landed halfway between Music 101: Physics & Perception of Music (#10) and Chemistry 155: Science of Cooking: Italy (#1, an obvious choice).
This year’s W&L Spring-Term Festival took place in Leyburn Library, and the Computer Science Department was there in force: the twelve students enrolled in CSCI 250: Introduction to Robotics demonstrated robots that flew over obstacles, followed their creators around like a pet, played a game of Tron, and obeyed commands issued from an XBox Kinect sensor. There was even some cross-project interference, as the Kinect-driven bot tried to steal the Rovipet’s beloved green ball.
CSCI 250 also featured a field trip to the Areva Nuclear Power facility in Lynchburg, where we got to see some bigger robots in action.
