What will your session or activity allow people to make, learn or do?
ParticleQuest is a fork of BrowserQuest, a game developed by Mozilla Foundation, that started during the CERN Webfest last August and turned out to be the winning project (Yay!). Our wish is to create a science based game with which to teach particle physics while at the same time providing puzzles and multiplayer experience in a Legend of Zelda style world. And all of this only using your browser!
The intent of this session is engaging people to keep hacking the initial pieces of BrowserQuest, now that we understand them, and to progress the work already done.
