Whether you’re just starting out in game development and haven’t found the right engine for you yet, need a break from proprietary engines such as Unity, or simply want to see if game development is something for you: This workshop’s got your back! Here we will take a look into the Godot engine and its capabilities. With its tree-based node structure and signal-based coding workflow Godot offers an intuitive and userfriendly way to build games and a fully customizable editor with a large resource of community-built add-ons and extensions. All this comes in a lightweight and easy to install package making it an attractive option compared to other modern engines.

In the workshop you will learn how to set up your Godot project and understand what Godot nodes and scenes are and how to use them. You will learn about how Godot’s resources work as well as get a better understanding of Godot’s signals and different scripting capabilities. The goal is for you to leave the workshop with your own playable prototype that we built together and with the tools and knowledge needed to create your own applications or contribute to the Godot community.

Important information: Please bring your own laptop as the location does not have any lab PCs. If you want to also be able to work along with the showcase of Godot C# or generally work with the C# instead of GDScript, please be sure to have the .NET SDK and a viable IDE installed before the workshop.

You can already download Godot on the official Godot website: https://godotengine.org – Or optionally use the 3rd Party Godotlauncher application and install from that: https://godotlauncher.org/

Dokumentationen, Lab-Reports und Abschlussarbeiten schreiben, ohne am Layout zu verzweifeln? Du suchst moderne Alternativen zu LaTeX oder praktikablere Ansätze als Word? Dann bist du hier richtig. Mit Typst schauen wir uns ein modernes Typesetting-System an, das perfekt in unseren Workflow passt! Es vereint die simple Syntax von Markdown mit der Automatisierungs-Power einer echten Programmiersprache – pfeilschnell und direkt in deiner gewohnten Umgebung. Das klingt vielleicht nach einem krassen Paradigmenwechsel, aber wir machen einen absolut anfängerfreundlichen Einstieg.

Zu Beginn klären wir kurz die Konzepte hinter Typst und warum es für Entwickler aller Art so viel Sinn macht. Wer beim Hands-On direkt mitmachen möchte, spart sich nervige Gigabyte-Installationen: Ein Browser für die Typst Web App oder ein simples VS Code Setup (mit der Tinymist Extension) reichen völlig aus. Danach geht’s direkt los mit den Basics, wo wir uns auf das clevere Zusammenspiel von Markup, Math und Scripting konzentrieren. Im Anschluss bauen wir gemeinsam live ein schickes, automatisiertes FH-Template für eure nächste Abgabe!

Workshop: “Real” Linux on phones?! No phone needed 😉

This workshop is about Linux on phones. We will have a look about what Linux phone projects are out there.

For the workshop we will get our hands dirty with the postmarketOS project. You will build your own “phone-Linux” image for x86/64 that runs with QEMU. For the Desktop Environments you can try different ones, such as KDE Plasma mobile, phosh or others.

In the end I will give a short recap of why I think Linux on phones is a great learning opportunity to look under the hood of embedded Linux.

IMPORTANT: We start 1 hour earlier than usual! Workshop language is German.

Binaries are black boxes. They don’t tell you what they’re doing inside, and they certainly don’t let you change it. Unless you cheat: dynamic instrumentation lets you reach into a running process and mess with it while it’s executing.

This workshop is about Frida, a toolkit that lets you hook into function calls, read their arguments, and swap out return values, all from a JavaScript REPL. We’ll start by poking at binaries with the classics, strace, ltrace, strings and then move on to writing Frida scripts that actually change how programs behave at runtime.

You’ll practice on intentionally simple binaries: bypass a password check, cheat at a score counter, disable anti-debugging. That kind of thing.

Why would you care about any of this?

• You want to understand what some binary actually does
• You need logging in production code but can’t recompile it
• You want to simulate ugly failure conditions without touching your source
• You’re curious what your own software looks like from the other side

No reverse engineering background needed, just some comfort with the terminal and a rough idea of what C looks like. Bring a laptop with GNU+Linux if you want to follow along.
