The Making of a Video Game Easy for Everyone

The Making of a Video Game Easy for Everyone The Art of Video Games 2012 by: Blake PattersonQuote on wall: Games are a toolkit we use to create. -Henry Jenkins Wiley, who created his own video game studio called Hot Trouble, encourages all to create their own game with the help of friends. “No experience is necessary,” he said. “[You] just have to love games.” And consequently, know what you like in games â€" what works for you and what doesn’t. He said that you don’t have to be a programmer or an artist to create a game, since modern technology, and program-sharing people, have made it entirely possible to create a video game without prior knowledge. Wiley knows. With no previous programing knowledge, he made his own recognized game, “Lumpy Space Chess,” based on the Cartoon Network program “Adventure Time.” Who wants to play video games? by: JD HancockThis is Beemo, the friendly video game console from the TV series Adventure Time. Classically trained programmers are not needed for all types of video games now, thanks to the Internet. Wiley listed platforms that could be used to make games without knowing traditional game programming. They are: GameSalad, the worlds fastest game design engine where you can learn to make and publish hit games for free, with no coding; GameMaker: Studio, used for fast, cross-platform game development for non-programmers and programmers; and Flixel, a open source game-making library and coding community. Wiley also named where people with unsatisfactory art skills could obtain game art â€" not everyone is an artist â€" and a place to get game audio.   They are: OpenGameArt(.org), a place with high-quality, appropriately licensed, 2D and 3D  artwork; and Bfxr(.net) a flash-based sound generator used for game sound effects. He said there are many avenues to get involved, like game jams such as “the Global Game Jam” or “Ludum Dare.” The Art of Video Games by: Ryan Somma (Because Wikipedia can word it 10x better than a girl with no gaming knowledge can, “A game jam is a gathering of developers, artists, and other creatives over a short time during which a collective effort is made to make one or more games.” Thanks Wiki.) Wiley also said there are various meetings people can go to, to get connected to the gaming community â€" one being “Juegos Rancheros,” an independent gaming community based in Austin, Texas. “It’s the golden age of video games,” Wiley said. “Games are art, art creates culture and culture determines your life.” Go game.

What You Should Know About Ordering Groceries Online

What You Should Know About Ordering Groceries Online Image via Pixabay.com Not only can time be an issue when you go grocery shopping, but the trip itself can be tiresome. Who actually enjoys going grocery shopping? Even the people waltzing from aisle to aisle in their Grinch pajamas arent dying with excitement to be in a grocery store. Sometimes, the trips can be downright awful. Finding available parking can be tough, especially if you’re at the one grocery store near campus. You know the one. Every college student decides that is the only store in the city and it becomes the designated spot for students to shop. And if parking is bad, then you know the inside of the store is going to be utter chaos. Waiting in line can take thirty minutes at times, even with the addition of self-service checkout stations in many grocery stores. However, if it’s a busy time of the day, even the line for the machines can wind back into the aisles. Don’t get me started on how aggressive people can get while grocery shopping and it happens to be extremely crowded. I’ ve lost count of the number of times that I’ve nearly been mowed down by old ladies whizzing down the spices aisle with their packed carts. Grocery shopping: it’s a dangerous sport. Naturally, when I heard about ordering groceries online, my curiosity was thoroughly piqued. Ordering groceries online is a relatively fast and new way to bring the groceries you need right to your front door, helping you skip the crowds of other grocery shoppers and time restraints. Many grocery stores have implemented this ordering groceries online into one of the services they offer while other companies have made this their specialty. If you’re interested in ordering groceries online, there are several things you should know before you make that first order: 1.  Not every grocery store offers this service. As I mentioned, ordering groceries online is a service that’s still being introduced in many grocery stores. This service is in the testing stage at some place. Stores want to see if this way of getting groceries will prove to be popular or if it’s something that no one will be interested in.  To see if a store offers a way for you to order your groceries online, check out their website and search for an option that will allow you to start adding items to your virtual cart. 2.  You might be paying more money Companies like Instacart, an online grocery-ordering service, offer items from grocery stores at slightly higher prices to help cover the cost of the service. Prices for things like eggs, bread, and cheese might be a little more expensive online. It’s up to you to decide if the increased price is worth the convenience of having your groceries delivered to you. 3.  Some stores offer grocery pickup instead Maybe you’ve noticed those giant, orange parking lots that have started popping up at some Wal-Marts. Those are the pickup areas. Customers can use their Walmart Grocery app to pick out and purchase goods online. After paying online with your credit, debit, or gift card, you’ll select from a list of available pickup times and days. From there, Walmart will notify you when your grocery order has been processed and rounded up by one of their employees. Then, all you have to do is drive into one of the pickup spaces, check in on your app, and an employee will bring your things right out to you. Fun fact: I used this service to pick up two giant bean bags before! It was great!  4. You’ll need to be home if you’re getting groceries delivered to your door This one probably goes without saying but you’ll definitely need to be at home if you ordered groceries online and you’re expecting them to be delivered soon. I list this as a “need to know” item because you should factor this into your decision on whether you want to order groceries online or not. Sometimes, the delivery time will change, according to how fast your delivery person is. If you think you have time to run a quick errand but your delivery person arrives at your house before you’ve finished, it could cause a problem. It’s best to pick a delivery time when you know you’ll have a few hours where you can be at home. 5.  You should tip your delivery person They did a lot of hard work for you! It’s only polite to give them a nice tip. There you have it! Have you decided if online grocery shopping is the thing for you?

The Chemistry Department at Hunter College

However, the exact sciences that are taught in the curriculum are different.If you have taken an undergraduate chemistry course, you may have found out that most of the students who get into chemistry graduate at a lesser level. This is because the syllabus that they use at the major college where they are majors are different f rom the syllabus that they will use in their undergrad.If you took biology courses, you will find that your science classes are slightly more challenging and you will probably have to take remedial chemistry if you are not prepared for this. After you take science classes, you may have to take a similar type of chemistry class to follow up with that course. The Chemistry Department at Hunter College has six different science courses, which they offer in a bi-weekly basis.These chemistry courses for biology majors are the following: A Physical and Biological Chemistry, Computational and Quantum Chemical Chemistry, Physics of Nature and Applications, Biochemistry, Analytical Chemistry, and Molecule Structure and Functions. The chemistry department covers all the sciences necessary for a good university and they offer a lot of supplemental courses, based on the classes that the major and minor course students take. The department also offers a first-year course on organic chemistry. Th is is something that is offered every year at every university.The department has thirty class numbers in all, and each class number has ten to fifteen students in it. Some of the class numbers have no seating on the floor and some have seats in the gymnasium. Each class numbers class has a corresponding chemistry department sign and they have each of their students sit down at their assigned class number when they sit down for their respective chemistry class.In addition to the other chemistry courses that they offer, they also offer four different majors: Biological Engineering, Medical and Clinical Chemistry, Applied and Computational Chemistry, and Computational Analysis and Science.

A Student Review of Brigham Young University

A Student Review of Brigham Young University The tutors behind Varsity Tutors are not just here to teachtheyre sharing their college experiences as well. Abigail received her bachelors degree in Spanish translation from Brigham Young University in 2012. She specializes in a number of levels of Spanish tutoring, among other subjects. See what she had to say about her experience attending Brigham Young University: Describe the campus setting and transportation options. Abigail: Brigham Young University is a very large walking campus, to some students chagrin. I walked for most of my time as a student and planned my commutes and my class schedule accordingly, but I also rode a bike for a couple of years which was very practical. There are large student parking lots on the perimeters of campus, but they were usually always full during popular class times and you typically still had a substantial hike on foot after you parked. The city of Provo does have a bus system, but I never had occasion to use it. How available are the professors, academic advisers, and teaching assistants at Brigham Young University? Abigail:Very available, I wish I had used this resource more. Professors are open about their office hours and I always felt comfortable seeking out a teacher in their office. How would you describe the dorm liferooms, dining options, location, socialization opportunities with other students? Abigail: Social! Dynamic! Family style! Fun! At BYU you can choose dorm style or cooking style apartments. I chose the latter because I wasnt a fan of the cafeteria diet, but there certainly are options for that. Since this is a church school, student resident life is organized by into congregations as well, and that group dictates most of the social life/activities you are involved in. Which majors/programs are best represented and supported at Brigham Young University? Abigail: Im not sure what major/program is most popular at BYU, but they do have a prestigious language program largely due to the fact that most of the student body are LDS and many of them have served volunteer foreign language speaking missions. I studied Spanish Translation, and the program did a thorough job of orienting us toward the world of opportunities in that field and there was always a wealth of experience available within an international church. How easy or difficult was it for you to meet people and make friends as a freshman? Does Greek life play a significant role in the campus social life? Abigail: It is extremely easy to make friends as a freshman. There are always activities in your building and in your ward that connect you to the people you live around and go to church with. I was part of Sigma Delta Pi as part of my Spanish degree, but there were never any events or meetings associated with my membership in that group. Your ward plays a stronger, more significant role in your social life than a fraternity or sororityin fact, I dont know of any fraternities or sororities on campus. How helpful is the Career Centerand other student support services? Abigail: The Career Center is always buzzing and there is an actively updated job board with campus job postings. This information is also available online, and I was always able to find a campus job. There is also an annual job fair with many reputable companies who come to recruit. BYU students are known for being good students, good citizens, squeaky clean, honest, hard working, and cultured. How are the various study areas such aslibraries, the student union, and dorm lounges? Abigail: The BYU library is enormous and mostly underground. There is always a place to study whether you do better in large space with many people studying quietly or more secluded cubicles or nooks and crannies that you can sneak away to. There are also many computer labs. I didnt have a computer for most of my time as a student and I was always able to find one to use on campus as well as to print. Describe the surrounding town at Brigham Young University. Abigail: Provo and Orem are fun college towns with malls, movie theatres, restaurants, indoor rock climbing, museums, water parks, canyons, mountains, and the Provo River. I was around south Provo and Orem almost as much as I was on campus. How big or small is the student body? Were you generally pleased or displeased with the typical class sizes? Abigail: Its a huge student body. 30,000 plus students. I had some very large lectures with hundreds of people, but I also had small classes with only a dozen people. I loved both experiences. Describe one memorable experience with a professor and/or class. Perhaps one you loved the most or one youregretthe most. Abigail: Every Tuesday morning the whole campus shuts down at 11:00 for a campus wide devotional or forum. You can attend these devotionals in person in the Marriott Center, or watch them broadcast throughout campus. Rich, inspirational, intellectual messages are delivered to the student body each week.
