Wow, more great news! I spoke with Professor Victor Zordan, who teaches Computer Science and Engineering for Bourns College at University of California, Riverside. Earlier this year, UCR’s program in video game design was named one of the top 50 of 500 at North American universities by The Princeton Review and GamePro Media, and they just finished hosting a summer video game academy.
I told him about the Gratitude Gardens application, and he said he'd be happy to get some students on board. He recommended a partnership between UCR's developers and engineers, their world renowned botany department and Sustainable UCR. We've already had Sustainable UCR come and host their leadership summit at Growcology and our gratitude garden, so they're already on board. Now its just a matter of finalizing with the Undergraduate Research in the Community department (who've already committed to getting students to partner with us).
So we've got the programmers, and if we raise enough funds we'll offer them stipends to work on this project. We also will probably partner with RCC's graphic design department to design the 'sprites' for the game.
Its coming together!
