haha we used to play quake3 too, with corkscrew mod. everyone was so crap to start off with, but by the end of tafe we were all crazy at it!
i remember this one time, where we begged the teacher to let us stay in during lunch at tafe to 'do some work', and she let us but as soon as she left we started playing quake 3. she came back into the room 15 minutes later and there was literally 25 people in this room all playing quake 3. she just screamed OOUUUTTT and we were never trusted again.
just looked at that assignment man, its practically the same thing but just a little bit more work and it uses a database instead of text files. i dunno about you, but i find databases way easier (who the hell would use text files to store data anyway?!) so i think we can safely knock it out the night before
