Game Programming

We'll play the second edition of "Cyclades", an area-control auction game. **Please watch the rules video beforehand, I will not do a full rules teach before starting play:** [https://youtu.be/njIB2yN6ooM?si=SMLr0jQKyimBm_-N](https://youtu.be/njIB2yN6ooM?si=SMLr0jQKyimBm_-N) **BGG**: [https://boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/380619/cyclades-legendary-edition](https://boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/380619/cyclades-legendary-edition) ================= In the Cyclades archipelago, off the shores of a divided Greece, players develop their cities and compete for supremacy under the watchful gaze of the gods. In ***Cyclades: Legendary Edition***, designers Bruno Cathala and Ludovic Maublanc have reworked the *Cyclades* base game and its many expansions to make gameplay more dynamic and fluid. The game features a strategic bidding system that defines the actions available to each player on their turn. You must balance your finances to optimize the various actions provided by the different gods, with each player gaining the support of only one god each turn. The game features a shorter and more dynamic bidding phase than the original *Cyclades* thanks to a new exponential bidding scale. Six gods are available instead of the five, increasing the variety of actions available: * Ares allows the movement of player armies and the building of fortresses. * Poseidon allows players to move their navies and build ports. * Zeus allows his followers to hire priests and build temples. * Athena provides her worshipers with philosophers and universities. * Apollo increases the income of his worshipers. * Hera provides mercenaries to enforce your troops during battle. ================== The fee will be paid directly to the venue and the cost is about $70 per person. They do not sell food there, but you may bring takeaways or order food for delivery.

WHAT IS ONE-SHOT SATURDAY? It's a weekly meet-up in Sheung Wan/Central, focusing on indie games and single-session games (one-shots). 而家所有游戏係英文嘅但如果你要嚟玩中文游戏，我哋會無任歡迎。只要湊啱玩家就行！ You can drop in and play at any One-Shot Saturday – you do not need to have played in a previous session or commit to playing again. Whether you've played an RPG before or not, you're welcome to join us. Please arrive on time as once the games begin it becomes difficult to properly introduce latecomers. Join the conversation, make plans, suggest games to play, etc. — Facebook group: [https://www.facebook.com/groups/oneshotsaturdays/](https://www.facebook.com/groups/oneshotsaturdays/) \*\*\* WHAT IS A TABLETOP RPG? It's a game in which you never know where the next stop will be, because it’s all down to the decisions you and your fellow players make. Usually one person is the Game Master (or "GM"). Everyone else will be players, taking the role of the characters in the game. The players get to say what their characters say, think, and do. The GM describes everything else in the world. Then... we play to find out what happens. The game is a conversation: I say something, then you reply, maybe someone else chimes in. We talk about what's happening to the characters we imagine and the world around them. We also talk about the rules, which help us decide what happens next if the next step is in doubt. The rules differ from game to game: some use dice to shape the story, others use cards or something else. It's always a conversation, though.

我哋會定期舉辦活動 會同步update Meetup亦都可以喺WhatsApp group約戰 WhatsApp group，可以比大家交流吓呢隻game，又可以傾吓波經，歡迎加入: https://chat.whatsapp.com/D8EoMkubCFNKCS1w5LqEkz p.s. 場地有貓貓，有貓毛敏感嘅朋友要注意哦 不過如果怕貓的朋友可以照樣參加，並通知我，我也可以另覓地方:)

The goal is to help you understand what version control is, why it matters for Unity development, and what options are out there.

What to Expect: * An introduction to version control and why it's essential for Unity projects * An overview of Git, Perforce, and Unity Version Control * Demos of each tool in a Unity workflow * Tips for getting started * No prior version control experience required * Resources for continued learning All experience levels are welcome. Whether you're new to version control or already using one of these tools, this session will help you understand what each one offers. Food and drinks provided.

CABS First Friday of the month gaming!!! Door opens at 4pm and will go until the last game is played or the closer for the night needs their sleep.

Thanks for being a part of the CABS Meetup Group! We meet @ the COFFEE UNDERGROUND on Indianola Avenue.

**Important time note:** Please plan on arriving between 5:30 and 6:00 as the elevators lock after 6 and you'll need to message us and we'll need to come get you. The building address is 4450 Bridge Park The entrance is 6620 Mooney St, Suite 400 You will need to scan your ID at the door to get a visitor badge. **Abstract** GitHub Copilot is powerful, but what if you could scale from a solo AI assistant to an entire team of specialized agents working in parallel? This session introduces Squad: an open-source framework for multi-agent orchestration that lets you define teams of AI agents with specific roles, responsibilities, and expertise. We'll progress from Copilot basics to the Copilot CLI, explore how Agents add autonomy, and see how Instructions and Skills let you customize agent behavior. Then, the climax: a live demo where a Squad team of 3 agents (Lead, Developer, Tester) stands up and builds a working application in real-time, showcasing true multi-agent collaboration. Whether you're new to AI or exploring how to scale your use of Copilot, this session will show you what's possible when agents work as a team. **YouTube Link** TBD

Bring your work or your hobby, hang out, and code with us. Follow @buckeyecocoa for more information.
