Very soon students will be able to ride around the Titan Student Union, in the form of Tuffy the Titan, and race other players; all in video game form that is.

For Cal State Fullerton's 50th anniversary, the Cal State Fullerton Video Game Club decided to design a game for current and future students to enjoy.

The club was just recently formed this semester, said Grant Paulis, a designer on the project, and its members wanted to contribute something special to the university.

"We got the ideas from the engineered robot elephants that they've had on campus," said Mehmet Akkurt, computer science major and lead programmer of the game.

Even though members of the club say they are extremely busy with other classes, they are pushing to get the game out in the next month for students to play.

The first level should be ready soon, which takes place in the TSU, said Paulis. After that, the club hopes to expand and have other levels include other places on campus for Tuffy and opponents to race around.

"We compare it to a Mario Cart-type game," said Rusty Scrivens, a computer science major and the other lead programmer of the game.

Players ride in different cars around the TSU and every car represents a different college, said Akkurt.

Paulis said that throughout the game, the players attempt to collect oranges and different departments try to hold you up or help you out.

"For example the art department throws paint on you and at the health department Tuffy can get more health," Paulis said.

A few art students helped out with the video game by making a model of the TSU for the club to work with.

"They were working on it over the summer. They are very talented," Paulis said.
