Informal demos have been done by several other folks; to get your demo into this section you must deliver code to Dr. J and he must be able to run it (somewhat) successfully.

Dr. J	Improved PLEASE lab; Dr. J's Demo will constitute our Flagship. Other team members should integrate their work into this demo. The Ruminator, an unfinished simple "level generator" which works from floor plans.
Nolan Clayton	Nolan's Pegasus program is a collaborative IDE.
Brandon Cook	Brandon was worked on avatar support, and integration of more rooms and better textures, in partnership with Korrey and Ray.
Laurel Cutting/ Mike Kemp	The Network Group has posted their n-person chat client.
Korrey Jacobs	Tha Crib, a nice 3D first-person graphics demo. PLEASE lab, with a first attempt at collision detection
Ray Lara	PLEASE lab, with a neat-o whiteboard A collection of digital images from the PLEASE lab
Wynn Winkler	Wynn Winkler has been trying out 3D models, VRML, and floor plan editors. He finally hit paydirt with the Int3D editor from www.Int3D.com, and has a preliminary demonstration of a VRML version of our please lab.
Jose Cabrera Zuniga	Jose has developed a first cut at an Avatar.

What's in a Name?

The name Unicron was suggested to me by Mike Kemp. It comes from the Transformers children's toy line, with associated cartoons and comic books. Unicron is a giant robot the size of an entire planet, who roams the universe devouring planets and stars. While this makes a rather silly metaphor for our virtual CS department, it is an artificial world, which is what we are building. Plus, the name Unicron is excellent because Unicron is being written in Unicon.

Unicron is a "working name" for the project; I reserve the right to change the name to a better one between now and the time at which system goes into production.
