Theoretical and scientific research portions of the paper point, each in their own manner, to existing as well as new modes of applying concepts of space and visual perception from the domain of architecture and urbanism in the field of videogame design. This paper offers a significant number of methods of implementing aspects of architectural theory heritage, primarily elements and principles of scene architecture, in the process of designing space in videogames - starting with Vitruvius’s triple principle, followed by the triple principle of key features of videogames and the issue of spatial situations, to the role and position of user/player in the context of cooperation with a given space.

Teorijski deo rada sastoji se iz dva poglavlja i fokusiran je na osnovne aspekte fenomena arhitektonskog prostora i videoigara koji su relevantni za ovo istraživanje. Ukazivanjem na teorijsko nasleđe arhitekture u užem smislu, odnosno istorijskim pregledom poimanja prostora i načela kreiranja istog, otvara se mogućnost ispitivanja aktuelne prisutnosti i potencijalne primene datog nasleđa u relativno novoj oblasti kreiranja prostora u videoigrama. Prvo poglavlje teorijskog dela rada fokusirano je na sam fenomen videoigara i na osnovne karakteristike istog, kao što su interdisciplinarnost i višemedijska uslovljenost, kao i na razne aspekte igre i videoigre u kontekstu ljudskog društva. Drugo poglavlje teorijskog dela rada fokusirano je na dva trojna načela. Prvo je Vitruvijevo načelo utemeljeno na tri principa: svrha, čvrstoća i lepota (lat. utilitias, firmitas i venustas), koje je, uz dijahronijski i sinhronijski osvrt na njegova tumačenja, ujedno i polazište za istraživanja mogućnosti primene principa arhitekture u kreiranju prostora u videoigrama. Drugo trojno načelo je iz sfere videoigara i predstavlja tri osnovna pojma koja definišu svet videoigara: prostor, priča i pravilo. Svaki od navedenih elemenata, odnosno pojmova koji konstituišu pomenuta trojna načela, objašnjen je u ovom radu u kontekstu videoigara, uz upotrebu instrumentalnih pojmova i uvažavanje stavova priznatih teoretičara iz domena arhitekture. Istraživački deo rada predstavlja identifikaciju prostornih koncepata videoigara u odnosu na vizuelne percepcije i oslanja se na tumačenja teorija trojice arhitekata. Prvi, koncept mirujućeg prostora, zasnovan je na interpretaciji sceničnih slika Sebastijana Serlioa (Sebastiano Serlio), drugi, koncept uslovljenog prostora, je zasnovan na analizi petnaest prostornih obrazaca Kristofera Aleksandera (Christopher Alexander), dok je treći koncept, koncept slobodnog prostora, zasnovan na sagledavanju prostora u serijama Gordona Kalena (Gordon Cullen). Kroz date primere obrazloženo je na koji način simbolika arhitektonskih elemenata i prostorne situacije definišu pojavu koja potvrđuje značaj prisustva korisnika/igrača u prostoru sa kojim gradi zajedničko dejstvo – scensku arhitekturu. SPACE IN VIDEOGAMES AS NEW FORM OF SCENE ARCHITECTURE Abstract: This thesis, based on scientific research principles, has the aim to investigate and prove the relevance of designing space in videogames as a new mode of scene architecture. The theoretical portion is comprised of two chapters and focuses on core aspects of the phenomenon of architectural space and videogames, relevant to the topic of research. Turning to architectural theory heritage in a narrow sense, i.e. through a historical review of aspects of understanding space and its design principles, we open the possibility to examine the current state as well as potential future applications of the aforementioned heritage in a relatively young field of designing space in videogames. The first chapter of the theoretical portion of the thesis focuses on the phenomenon of videogames, its core properties relevant to this research, such as its interdisciplinary and multimedia nature, as well as different aspects of games and videogames in the human society. The second chapter considers two triple principles. The first is Vitruvius’s principle based on three concepts: commodity, stability and beauty (lat. utilitias, firmitas, venustas), which, accompanied by a diachronic and synchronic review of its interpretations, is also the basis for research of possible applications of architectural principles in designing space in videogames. The second triple principle comes from the sphere of videogames and actually relates to the three basic concepts that determine the world of videogames: space, story and rule. The paper examines each of the aforementioned concepts in the context of videogames, through use of instrumental terms and with consideration of recognized position of contemporary architectural theoreticians. The research portion of the thesis pays attention to identifying spatial concepts of videogames in relation to visual perception. It is based on interpretation of theories of three architects:

Tavoitteena on selvittää, mistä pelaajat nykyään katsovat arvosteluja, mihin ar- vosteluihin he luottavat ja mitä arvostelumediaa lehdistä, televisiosta ja Internetistä he pitä- vät tärkeimpänä. Lisäksi kerrotaan videopelikonsolien ja suomalaisten videopeliohjelmien his- toriasta, sillä Suomessa on luotu sekä maailman ensimmäinen videopeleihin keskittynyt kana- va MoonTV että ulkomaillakin levitykseen päässyt peliohjelmaformaatti Tilt. Konsolien historiasta kirjoittamista varten käytetään joitakin kirjalähteitä, lähinnä englannin- kielisiä, koska kattavia konsolien historiaa kunnolla käsitteleviä kirjoja ei tunnu olevan suo- meksi tarjolla. Lähteinä käytetään myös Internetistä löytyviä videopeliaiheisia videoita, jotka viihteellisyydestään huolimatta tarjoavat paljon tietoa videopelien historiasta. Tutkimus on tehty yhdistellen kvantitatiivista tutkimusta käyttäen verkkolomaketta, minkä lisäksi käytettiin, näkökulman laajentamiseksi ja tiedonsaantiin, sähköpostihaastatteluja

En av de stora utmaningarna spelutvecklare står inför är planeringen av den långsiktiga kompetens- försörjningen. Dock saknas sammanställda historiska data och applicerbara resursestimeringsmetoder, vilket gör detta arbete näst intill omöjligt. Det första delmålet med den här studien är att samla in historiska data angående strukturen och storleken på utvecklingsteam som utvecklat AAA-spel (professionellt utvecklade spel med en hög budget) för pc-datorer. Datan samlas in från kreditlistor hämtade via webbsidan Mobygames.com. Det andra delmålet består i att utreda huruvida den insamlade datan kan appliceras på modeller för estimering av framtida personalbehov. De två modellerna som används är trendanalys samt kvotanalys. Resultatet visar att det går att samla in och bygga upp en historisk databas samt att båda modellerna kan appliceras på databasen med gott resultat.Trendanalysen visar att storleken på projektteamen de senaste 20 åren i stort sett utvecklats linjärt och kvotanalysen att det finns klara och tydliga relationer mellan olika yrkesgrupper samt relationer mellan projektteamet och en yrkesgrupp.

    Dolla Dolla Bills, Y'all ●Do you like this site? ●Have you ever enjoyed reading anything here? ●Did you ever find anything helpful, informative, or even just funny? Then now’s the time to pledge your support and not get a free tote bag or whatever PBS is shilling these days. I don’t even have any cool interns to man the phone banks I also don’t have, so don’t expect any of that business, either. PROGRESS TO GOAL: 70% What I do have is the yearly renewal on my hosting plan coming up, with nothing budgeted to pay for it. I recently started a new job, which required a small move, which required fighting a ridiculous custody battle that I can’t even describe, which depleted any savings we had, etc… Things are fine now, financially and in every other way. We’re back on our feet and things are turning around; I can pay our bills and our lawyer (because that particular nightmare isn’t over yet), I can put food on the table and a nice new roof over our heads. I could probably even pay to renew my hosting plan, if I really wanted to. But that’s money that could be better spent on Trey, so that’s where I want to spend it. So, that being said, what am I going to do with Coquetting Tarradiddles? Well, that’s entirely up to you. To renew my server hosting at its current level (which is pretty necessary, unless you want the site crashing every time I get a traffic spike, or whenever some jellyheaded script kiddie tries to hack my Gibson), it’ll cost me $250 clams.

Rajko Tomovic and prof. Tihomir Aleksic, who became the first university professor of computer engineering in Serbia. We also give a short overview of CER family of computers that were developed after the CER-10 till mid- seventies. In the early eighties, computer revolution continued with personal computers, so we show the early attempts to produce this kind of computers in Serbia, from "build it yourself" campaigns to the industrial production, and we analyze implications of these attempts to the development of user community and evolution to the information society. Keywords: history of computing, CER family, personal computers, computer industry. 1. Introduction During the Second World War, the interest to speed up computation was driven by the need to decipher codes and to run ballistics calculations. A group of women called "human computers" were employed to use differential analyzer, a mechanical analogue computer designed to solve differential equations at The Moore School of the University of Pennsylvania in Philadelphia. But on the backstage, John W. Mauchly and J. Presper Eckert were developing ENIAC, the first computer that could perform ballistics calculations faster by a factor of 1,440.
