Fleet Commander


Someone needs to offer Arthur Nishimoto a job in video game development with a quickness.

This University of Illinois graduate student has designed an "unofficial" Star Wars game that's pretty much one of the coolest things I have ever seen.

Find out all the extra details and see a video of Nishimoto's touchscreen, multiplayer strategy game in action. Did we mention he's got it running on a 20-foot screen?

Ladies and gentlemen, I give you Fleet Commander. Nishimoto originally built the game to be used on the 52-inch TacTile touchsceen, but eventually upgraded the software to play on the school's LCD wall, Cyper-Commons.

Delivering awesome in 3...2..
