Teaching:
Ad Gladium Screenshot Project Manager: Ad Gladium.
Ad Gladium is a turn-based strategy game in which teams of futuristic gladiators battle for honor and glory. Warriors gain experience that can be used to train, and earn gold that can be used to buy equipment. This game is the work of students at the College of William and Mary, developed during the Spring of 2006 by Professor Coppit's Software Engineering class.
