Students have already posted some game design work that could benefit from review and feedback. Later on Vectrex game binaries could also use some testing and feedback.
All constructive feedback for the students of this year's course should be left as comment in the Vector forums "Vectrex Academy 2022" post thread listed above. Alternatively, you can reply to direct to Peer Johannsen's email address (vectrex@pforzheim-
university.de).
Below is the comment posted on by Peer on Vector Forums along with the link to the 2022 project gallery page.
"Greetings everyone!
Some good news, Vectrex Academy 2022 has started on March 14th :) Here is the link:

As of today, there are 10 students participating, which is a great number, and we are currently meeting in class. So, in contrast to the past two years, this is not on online course. Well, at least for now. Let's hope it stays this way.
What is not so nice, two of my Vectrex consoles have broken down. It seems they did not take kindly to sitting idle in a closet during the past online semesters. One is completely dead, the other suffers from the infamous sound-but-no-picture syndrom. I
have not yet found the time to investigate this any closer, but I hope we will find a way to repair them. Luckily we still have a third one we can use in class.
On Monday, I gave the general introduction to the course, and the students are now playing the original 1982 games to get a feeling for the style and the look of the Vectrex games. Some of them have already submitted their first ideas for their own
projects.
Many Cheers,
Peer"
