The University of the Western Cape's Confucius Institute (UWC CI) welcomed a delegation from Jinhua Polytechnic, China, on November 13th, 2023, marking a significant step in international academic and cultural collaboration. This visit by Jinhua Polytechnic, a prominent educational institution in China, emphasized the growing partnership in education, technology, and cultural exchange between the two institutions.
The day was packed with interactive sessions, workshops, and discussions focusing on educational methodologies, technological advancements, and cultural integration.
The idea behind the game Cluster Rush (also known as ClusterTruck) is surprisingly straightforward: jump from the roof of a moving semi-truck to another without touching the ground in order to cross the finish line. Reminiscent to the Cluster Rush classic kid's game "the floor is lava," this foundation quickly turns into a frantic, physics-defying ballet of destruction. The game successfully reduces the first-person platformer genre to a single, thrilling mechanic—the mastery of organized chaos—by eliminating story and traditional difficulties. This fundamental design principle, which prioritizes unpredictable physics, lightning-fast repetition, and a constant escalation of complexity, is directly responsible for Cluster Rush's popularity and addictive nature.
