Sounds like you guys did a fantastic job.  At my grad school there was a 
game programming course one year, and the final projects were presented 
and judged.  There was one team that pretty much kicked everybody's 
butts there, and everybody oohed and awed about it.  But that didn't 
even look as nice as yours.  Three of the guys that were on that team 
now work at game companies, one works at a game /engine/ company, and 
the other works at NVIDIA.  So if gainful employ is your goal, I think 
your project will reward you far greater than any piddly 1st place prize 
from your Uni.

Congrats.
