Here's number two!
This is possibly a bit too obscure for most people. Videogames are going to play a big part in these fan-arts, they're as much to blame for my complacency as they are to blame for my creativity and inspiration. I've played them since I can remember and Alex Kidd was one of my first memories of that - best part was it came free, built into the Sega Master System - how convenient is that?
I always thought this Alex guy was a bit of a dick. Part of the game involved playing Rock, Paper, Scissors against guys that literally had hands for heads. Obviously, this was all they lived for - I mean they had hands for heads, what else could they accomplish in life other than winning Rock, Paper, Scissors? Opening massive cans of beans for arm-less giants maybe?
Alex, some little dude with freakish powers of appendage embiggenment and killer burns would come along on his hyper-cool motorbike and beat them at their own game, thus KILLING THEM. What a creep!
As I said last week, I want to experiment often, so this week I decided to try a traditional comic feel. I'm planning on making my own comics at some point and I'm happy with this as proof I could maybe do it.
Vedett is trying to make itself 'hip' again by attending the festivals. Lovely game, even better on-the-spot-personalized key chains. :)

Christopher Strachey was a teacher at the private Harrow school who spent time at the National Physical Laboratory learning to use computers. He knew Alan Turing from his time at King's College, Cambridge and came to Manchester to use the Ferranti Mark computer.
Computer games
Strachey undertook some remarkable challenges writing a program that could play a complete game of draughts (checkers) called ENTER that first ran on the Ferranti Mark in 1951. His program presented the game visually as it progressed on one of the machine's display tubes, making it the first example of a computer video game.
see Programming ENTER: Christopher Strachey‘s Draughts Program www.computerconservationsociety.org/resurrection/res60.htm#f
Computer music
The Ferranti Mark had a `hoot` function. that was used to sound a prompt when an action was required. Turing realised that this could be reprogrammed to make different notes and created a routine that played a note of a specified pitch.
Strachey wrote programs using Turing's the music code to play music. His first success was the National Anthem, to be played at the end of a game of draughts. The earliest existing recording of computer-generated music was recorded in 1951 by the BBC, in which the Ferranti Mark can be heard playing the National Anthem, Baa Baa Black Sheep and In the Mood.
See Restoring the first recording of computer music
blogs.bl.uk/sound-and-vision/2016/09/restoring-the-first-recording-of-computer-music.html
Love letters
Like Turing, Strachey was fascinated by the possibilities that computers offered. In particular, he thought about the application of computers within the arts and wrote a program for the Ferranti Mark computer that would generate love letters, one of the first examples of computational linguistics. While the resulting letters are unlikely to stir the emotions, it was a remarkable achievement to write a program on a machine with such limited power.
The challenges that the early computer pioneers attempted are an indication of the mood of the times that the newly invented computers were exciting, powerful machines of unknown and maybe limitless utility that would change the world.

My sympathetic affection beautifully attracts your affectionate enthusiasm. You are my loving adoration: my breathless adoration. My fellow feeling breathlessly hopes for your dear eagerness. My lovesick adoration cherishes your avid ardour.
Yours wistfully

Me acaba de llegar calentita la copia como colaborador en Space Time Play.
"Espacio, tiempo, juego - Juegos de ordenador, arquitectura y urbanismo: el siguiente nivel", es un volumen que busca indagar entre las conexiones de la cultura del juego digital con su entorno fuera de la pantalla. Arranca con una selección que refleja la historia del juego digital, continúa con aquellos juegos que buscan imitar el urbanismo, para terminar con un par de amplias secciones que ilustran proyectos que enlazan el entorno digital con el físico y una serie reflexiva entre el carácter utópico-distópico reflejado en estas prácticas.
De nuevo he colaborado con una versión del análisis del juego SimCity, su empleo e incapacidad educativa y generadora de un urbanismo cívico que realicé hace tiempo (en este tema se trata efectivamente de demasiado tiempo.) Afortunadamente el libro viene salpicado de colaboraciones de calibre que ofrecen una perspectiva mucho más interesante sobre el tema, y la calidad general de las múltiples secciones es interesante y el ritmo del volumen bastante dinámico. Como punto de inflexión y para una perspectiva general de este tema creo que el volumen es un esfuerzo bastante interesante que hacía falta.
Por otra parte aunque el tomo responde y expande algunas de las preguntas que me planteaba y deseaba explorar en aquel texto de SimCity, quizás no profundice como me gustaría en varias de las áreas que toca. Pero ese no es el objetivo que logró hacer que el proyecto saliera a la luz. Y sin embargo me pregunto si cuando se habla de un entorno tan dinámico, si los temas, las colaboraciones, las nuevas iniciativas e innovaciones son tan rápidas, no se trata de un volumen obsoleto por definición. Recomendable como historia, como introducción al tema, pero la historia para el que se sienta realmente interesado se está haciendo fuera de sus páginas.
Me preguntaba una amiga si vería algún dinero por esta publicación... Todo mi pago formal ha sido la copia de contribuidor de la foto. Pero es igualmente importante poder distribuir y comunicar mientras recuerdo las intrínsecas limitaciones de estos modelos editoriales. Por ejemplo, el texto lo entregué en noviembre del 2006 y de existir un debate lo habremos de construir en otros foros. Lo dicho, Espacio Tiempo Juego es recomendable como un libro de historia... Un capítulo en la historia de la cultura digital. Historia que hemos de entender y hacer mientras nos movemos para alejarnos de ella.
The early versions of Star Raiders used both the keyboard and the joystick. The later version made for the Atari 2600 in 1982 came with this touch pad controller which was intended to be used instead of the keyboard.

This is a screen of a replay from HotP's 'Instant Action' mode. Basically it's you against a succession of AI controlled opponents. As yet I haven't found any way to adjust the number or opponents, the type of opposing aircraft or the difficulty level of the enemy - so I find this mode a little boring to be frank.
Disclaimer: Don't ask me how this happened, but taking a screen shot in the 'Reply' mode improves the look of the game ten fold! It doesn't look as good as this during normal play! (IMHO)...If it did it would be an OK game, instead of a crap one!

March 2011. My step-mother is a teacher. She borrowed this badger from the library to show her children, so it was in the house for one night. My father took it out the box and insisted I do something with it. I lay down next to it and an idea occurred. A quick trip to the attic and our old Playstation was recovered for this very simple and loving image.
