Apache Tomcat is an open- source web server and servlet container that provides a “pure Java” HTTP web server environment for Java code to run in. It allows you to write complex web applications in Java without needing to learn a specific server language such as .NET or PHP. Plex Media Server organizes your vid- eo, music, and photo collections and streams them to all of your screens. Our tu- torials take you through these server installa- tions step-by-step so that you can enjoy a low- cost, power-efficient way to run an advanced server at home. The recent release of Lakka for the ODROID, an OpenElec-based distri- bution, makes it easier to play your favorite games. Tobias reviews the Dreamcast emu- lator, which is one of the most advanced console emulators available for the ODROID, Nanik continues to show us how to build Android for the ODROID-C1, Bruno details data migration using LVM, and we learn how to control the ODROID-SHOW using Python. As usual, we also present many beloved Linux game ports that will provide hours of fun! ODROID Magazine, published monthly at http://magazine.odroid.com, is your source for all things ODROIDian.

  • Polygons and Practice in Skies of Arcadia
    Issue 02 – 2013 Journal –Peer Reviewed ZOYA STREET Gamesbrief [email protected] Polygons and practice in Skies of Arcadia This paper features research carried out at the Victoria and Albert Museum into the design history of Sega’s 2000 Dreamcast title, Skies of Arcadia (released in Ja- pan as Eternal Arcadia). It was released by Overworks, a subsidiary of Sega, at an interesting point in Japanese computer game history. A new generation of video game consoles was in its infancy, and much speculation in the industry sur- rounded how networked gaming and large, open, tridimensional game worlds would change game design in the years ahead. Skies of Arcadia is a game about sky pirates, set in a world where islands and continents foat in the sky. I became interested in this game because it was praised in critical reviews for the real sense of place in its visual design. It is a Jap- anese Role Playing Game (JRPG), meaning that gameplay focuses on exploring a series of spaces and defeating enemies in turn-based, probabilistic battles using a system similar to that established by tabletop games such as Dungeons & Dragons. This research is based on interviews with the producer Shuntaro Tanaka and lead designer Toshiyuki Mukaiyama, user reviews submitted online over the past 10 plus years, and historically informed design analysis. It is grounded in a broader study of the networks of production and consumption that surrounded and co-produced the Dreamcast as a cultural phenomenon, technological agent and played experience. Through design analysis, oral history and archival research, in this paper I will complicate notions of tridimensionality by placing a three dimensional RPG in a broader network of sociotechnical relationships.
