Developing for Native VR & Python insights: Packet manipulation with Scapy
Details
Sydney Game Engine Developers have heard your feedback and we're delighted to present two brilliant speakers to talk about topics you are excited about: VR and Python.
Come join us for a night of engaging talks on Native virtual reality, get some professional insights on Python and meet other brilliant minds in our industry over pizzas and drinks!
Developing for Native Virtual Reality
Many games are developed for PC (monitor), or designed following PC rules, then ported to VR. What would happen if we redesign from the ground up what a VR means for gaming? How does procedural content affect player experience? How do procedural tools help generate content to work from?
Joel van de Vorstenbosch will discuss the possibilities to take the physical nature of the world to another level and the use of procedural content on his work with 'A Township Tale', a multiplayer VR game.
Joel is the co-founder of ALTA, the virtual reality company behind the game "A Township Tale". Joel is an enthusiastic programmer with a passion for both beautiful code and games, and over 10 years of experience.
Here is a GIF of Joel in his VR world!

Python insights: Packet manipulation with Scapy
The majority of games nowadays communicate over the big bad internet. A packet is a unit of data, and Scapy (http://www.secdev.org/projects/scapy/) is a powerful packet manipulation tool. A power tool normally used by security researchers and hackers. Let's explore ways to use Scapy to fuzzy test games, for fun and profit.
Tony is a Senior Software Engineer at Wargaming Sydney. He has been working with large-scale server tech for 8 years with a growing interest in cybersecurity.
