My favorite game is Pinball Arcade which features excellent physics and a huge host of classic table reproductions, from "Aadams Family Pinball" to "Theatre of Magic" and more. But, playing with the virtual, screen-tapping controls isn't as satisfying as hitting real flipper buttons. Let's solve that! This Mini Pinball Table is pretty straightforward to build, using slotted aluminum extrusion and hardware. And, the circuit to make it all go is really easy to make -- it requires no soldering, just plug wires and clip alligator clips to the buttons and a Gemma M0 microcontroller, which takes care of the rest! Any game that supports the iCade protocol can be controlled with the Gemma M0, Trinket M0, Circuit Playground Express, or other boards that can output HID USB keyboard strokes.

  • Open-End Storytelling in Pinball Machines a Summary of the Narrative Elements and Structures in Pinball Machines
    Open-End Storytelling in Pinball Machines A Summary of the Narrative Elements and Structures in Pinball Machines David Krummenacher Pinball machines have long been part of everyday culture. Today, they have al- most completely disappeared from public spaces and can mostly be found in closed hobby rooms or in digital form on the players' private devices. A similar situation applies to their description in a scientific context. They let many play- ers live through their story while playing, but so far nobody has described how these stories are structured and how they are received. This article is based on a master’s thesis (Krummenacher 2018) in the sub- ject area of Game Design at Zurich University of the Arts. It examined pinball machines with regard to their narrative elements and structures, utilizing content analysis as a method. The results were mostly limited to storytelling in physical pinball machines and dealt only marginally with virtual pinball machines. Virtu- al pinball machines that are subject to the restrictions of a physical pinball ma- chine were of course not excluded, but not explicitly investigated. The purpose of the thesis was to open up the field and to give designers of physical and virtu- al pinball machines a framework in which they can think about storytelling for pinball machines. The following article provides a summary of the findings of this thesis. DEFINING STORYTELLING AND PINBALL Stories are told all over the world and by every culture. The object is for the sto- rytellers to pass on information to the listeners. The conveyance of the infor- 178 | David Krummenacher mation follows certain rules of the respective culture so that the information is perceived as a story.

  • Computing Education Equips Pupils to Use Computational Thinking and Creativity to Understand and Change the World
    St. Albans Curriculum Mapping Purpose of Study: A high-quality computing education equips pupils to use computational thinking and creativity to understand and change the world. Computing has deep links with mathematics, science and design and technology, and provides insights into both natural and artificial systems. The core of computing is computer science, in which pupils are taught the principles of information and computation, how digital systems work, and how to put this knowledge to use through programming. Building on this knowledge and understanding, pupils are equipped to use information technology to create programs, systems and a range of content. Computing also ensure that pupils become digitally literate – able to use, and express technology – at a level suitable for the future workplace and as active participants in a digital world. Aims: The national curriculum for computing aims to ensure that all pupils: Can understand and apply fundamental principles and concepts of computer science, including abstraction, logic, algorithms and data representation. Can analyse problems in computational terms, and have repeated practical experience of writing computer programs in order to solve problems. Can evaluate and apply information technology, including new or unfamiliar technologies, analytically to solve problems. Are responsible, competent, confident and creative users of information and communication technology. Subject Content KS1: Understand what algorithms are; how they are implemented as programs on digital devices; and that programs execute by following precise and unambiguous instructions. An algorithm is a precisely defined procedure – a sequence of instructions, or a set of rules for performing a specific task (e.g. instructions for changing a wheel or making a sandwich).

    HALF: A NOVEL AND THE CORRESPONDING THESIS: BETWEEN MEMOIR AND FICTION By RACHEL NEW Thesis submitted to the University of Birmingham for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY Department of Film and Creative Writing School of English, Drama and American and Canadian Studies College of Arts and Law June 2017 University of Birmingham Research Archive e-theses repository This unpublished thesis/dissertation is copyright of the author and/or third parties.

ABSTRACT Half is a dual narrative following the stories of sisters Sadie and Hannah on a less than harmonious trip round the Western States of America, and Olive Oatman, a fourteen-year- old girl captured by Native Americans in 1851. Olive’s account of servitude and acculturation with the Mohave Indians is in fact the fictionalisation of a memoir, told through a journal Sadie acquires. While the modern narrative in Half is also based extensively on biographical content, the resulting novel is most definitely fiction. The accompanying research explores the point at which memoir and fiction intersect, asking if there is ever absolute truth or absolute fiction when utilising one’s own experiences as a framework for a narrative.
