Can the Iphone/Ipodtouch be the Dynabook ?

Way back in 1968, a brilliant computer scientist by the name of Alan Kay envisioned the Dynabook, a tablet like PC with nearly eternal battery life and software aimed at giving children access to digital media and facilitating education and learning.

We’ll about 40 some odd years have passed, and PC’s have flourished and powerful laptops now go for well under $1000. Although this has had a tremendous impact and kids a learning, I would argue that this has only been a partial realization of Alan Kay’s original vision.

"Happy Night" : serious game about the danger of over-alcohol

www.secrethappynight.com

The story : you are a secret agent on the field

You name is Jacques Baveur, one of the most efficient agent of the ASPE, the Pan-European Security Agency. You are tailing a dangerous synthetic animal smuggler who seems to be involved in a probably huge scale conspiracy. It’s nearly 22:00, we are the 3rd april 2028, when your tracking brings you to the Happy Night club. The smuggler just gets inside, with a black synthetic poodle on leash. It’s now up to you to expose all the dark secrets lurking at the Happy Night, the new place to be of the local nightlife...

Too much alcohol kills drunkness

“Happy Night” is a Serious Game developed by Succubus Interactive, in partnership with the communication agency Double Mixte, on behalf of Nantes Health Department. “Drinking yes, but not too much!” is the message sent to young people (main target: 12-25 years old). Based on the serious game concept, “Happy Night” is a point&clic adventure game used as a tool to pass prevention and sensibilization messages about the danger of over-alcohol and binge drinking. “In order to pursue and enforce the prevention projects settled by the city Health Department, the choice of a serious game became an obvious option regarding the complexity of the subject and the average age of the target audience” reported Nadya Jahan, head of business development at Succubus Interactive.

Starcraft Theory and Strategy: Alan Feng - Berkeley

This course will go in-depth in the theory of how war is conducted within the confines of the game Starcraft. There will be lecture on various aspects of the game, from the viewpoint of pure theory to the more computational aspects of how exactly battles are conducted. Calculus and Differential Equations are highly recommended for full understanding of the course.

Furthermore, the class will take the theoretical into the practical world by analyzing games and replays to reinforce decision-making skills and advanced Starcraft theory.
