I got accepted to U of M also back in December  I don't know much about their CS program, but you should try what AcrossFiveJulys said and check past syllabi to see an outline of the courses. | ||

I got accepted to their College of Engineering (#9 in the country) Computer Science department. The first thing I was wondering was does anyone know what languages they'll be teaching, I know a lot of people on TL are majoring in CS, so even if you're not attending U of M which languages does your class primarily use? I wanted to get a little head start and hit the ground running. Last year I learned the basics of python, so this summer I was just looking for a language I could start to learn. So whatcha think? Another thing is, is anyone here currently attending/will be attending U of M? I wanna have some people I can get together with and play some SC next fall. yo, I am also a computer science major in michigan. Are you attenting Uo M AA or UofM Flint? AA is a much nicer campus(and smash center of the midwest) but I am going to school in kettering which is located in flint so no SC in AA. Kettering is a private university and not run by Michigan so the standards could be totally different, but the main CS line of courses uses Java. If you are planning to go into the computer science line of work I recommend 3 areas of study Java C# / C++ HTML(or whatever web based shit you want to use) During highschool I was dual enrolled and took a class in python but besides that never had any exposure to other programing languages. CS101 in freshman year of college was extremely similar and after a week or so I was already carrying friends and hot asian lab partners through the course. If you just read up on python or java and have a general grasp of how programming works I'm sure you will do fine. If anything I would worry about brushing up on your general ed shit for your first couple years of courses. Freshman year is almost always the hardest and if you just spend the week before you go back trying to remember all the old highschool shit in Chem, Physics, Calc, etc you will be good to go. Don't be nervous or worried about everyone that is a CS major already being a huge nerd and knowing a ton about programming. Of course there will be the 10-20% meganerds who can complete the whole terms coursework in one day but atleast half of the class will be fresh to programming so if you arent a complete moron you should be fine. Add me on msn if you have any other questions about that shit or if you are gonna be around UofM Flint we could SC it up diddykong13@hotmail.com - MSN josh7460 - AIM edit: I think someone already recommended this but you can look up online (or ask people already through the class) what book you need and get ahold of it before you start class. Only nerds do that though edit2: lol typed wall of text on bumped post fail | ||

I'm a sophomore CS major at U Michigan-AA too. For first year students they teach C++ in engr101, and continue teaching C++ in eecs280 (I haven't gotten farther than that) By the way, where are you living for fall semester? Maybe we could get together and play some SC. I'm on Bursley this year. | ||

I know a guy who will be playing for the Princeton team and he said that the game is arranged like this. Its best out of 5. There are 2 1v1 matches and 1 2v2 match. If the score is 2:2 then an ACE match is played whereby each team chooses their best player and plays a "tiebreaker". So basically you only need 4 people a team. | ||

September 2: North Campus BBQ. 5-9pm at the North Campus DIAG. September 4: Bubble Tea Bash. 6-9pm in the Chemistry Building Atrium. Been practicing like mad (by my standards) past few days. I think I played 10 games yesterday, for the first time in my life, and that felt like a little bit too much. Suffice to say, I could *never* be a progamer. | ||

I copied the version of iCCup I have onto my IFS space and it runs fine - however, my other UM friends and I have been having trouble joining each other's games. We don't know exactly what the problem is, but maybe some compsci majors can figure it out. Essentially, whenever person A tries to create a game, person B and person C will not be able to join. Either it will indicate high latency, or "game already started" regardless of whether or not this is actually the case. Then if person B creates a game, person A will be able to join, but person C will not. Then if person C creates a game, both person A and B should be able to join, and so on. It's really weird, and something that seems to be universal to all the computer labs on campus. Same if you try to create LAN as well. For one on one matches this shouldn't really be a problem since it's not that hard to have one person create, then the other one create and join the second game successfully. Still, it's a hassle so right now another possibility is to get into someone's apartment with good net speed and just play on the wireless there. Last year we played AoE with 8 people at my place so I imagine it would work for SC as well. Just a heads up. I'm not sure if joining normal iCCup games will be an issue. I don't do it from the computer lab anyway since I am really unaccustomed to those keyboards. Played a few games with DeathByMonkeys, so far so good. Let's get as much practice as we can, guys! Keep it up~ | ||

I'm moving in this afternoon, and I live off North Campus (Broadway St.). I play Protoss at a D/D+ level and have a basic understanding of the other two races (D-). Contact info: AIM: MagicFriendAndro Email: kschalte@gmail.com iCCup: BajaBlood Hopefully I'll see you guys in #fishbowl or in person. My house is pretty much a constant LAN party (we've got like 6 computer majors and 4 other technical majors) and a number of my housemates play SC casually (most are only D- though). I'll see if I can make it to some of these events - no SC shirts though | ||
