Workshop: Automat

​We're kicking off the new year with a bang! Marek "maf" Rogalski will take us on a tour through Automat, his game automation tool that's baffling and brilliant in equal measure. If there's such a thing as "dream-logic skeuomorphism", Automat is the epitome. In Automat, you compose systems by wiring together exquisitely crafted graphical objects that perform a variety of manual and programatic functions. It's "coding" unlike we've ever seen before.

You can catch a few glimpses of Automat at its website and elsewhere, and if you've been regularly tuning in to our virtual meetups you'll have laid eyes on it a few times. But how does it work, and why the hell does it work that way? Marek will share his thinking in depth, and we can finally ask some of the million questions provoked by this incredible work.
