Description

This workshop aims at giving an overview of the video game history and to explain how a picture is displayed on a computer screen. This workshop also explains the difference between a vectorial and matrix picture. Attendees can then draw their own illustrations with post-it according to the stock of post-it we own.

(Click here to download the Pixel-art presentation. Idea is to expose what graphics in video games used to look like 30 years ago.)
