Hello SoDA Members!

Tonight’s Meeting Canceled

Hello SoDA Members!

Unfortunately, we will not be hosting a meeting tonight, however our next meeting will be hosted on April 12th, at which we will allow all those who have decided to run for officer positions to speak to the club about why they believe they are best suited for the position. After all candidates are finished, we will host the elections and decide who will be officers of SoDA for next semester.

If you would like to run for any of the available positions (President, Vice President, Secretary, or Treasurer), please send an email to asusoda@gmail.com

Thank you!

SoDA Meeting: Embedded Scripting for Games from SoDA @ ASU on Vimeo.

Our guest speaker, Jeremy Wright, professor of the C++ Practicum and professional code writer will be discussing embedded scripting for video games.

“We will be presenting in C++, how to use Flex, and Bison to parse a custom command language; Then we’ll show how to add this command interpreter to a basic game. We’ll have a simple SDL graphics layer, and manipulate C++ objects at runtime. It should be very interesting. We’ll post the code after the talk so students can download it, and use it in their own projects. I will be live coding the project (in vim… :) ).”

Fall 2012 Election

The Software Developers Association @ ASU is the largest software development organization on ASU campus. Our current leadership will be graduating in May 2012, so it is necessary to hold elections as soon as possible in order to prevent the dissolution of the organization.

Elections will be held before the end of this semester, so it is important that if you wish to run for any of the available positions, you submit this as soon as possible. Elections will take place after each candidate is given a few minutes to present to the rest of the organization why they wish to be elected as a SoDA officer. Elected officers will shadow current officers for the remainder of the semester in order to establish an understanding of how to complete organization related tasks.

Please fill out the following form and email it to asusoda@gmail.com.
