American, it seems, was too busy to do interviews at this moment, so I risked bothering John Carmack with the same questions. I did not do this lightly, taking about 5 days to con- sider whether he should be bothered or not. However, I thought my ques- tions were sufficiently well thought out enough that John might actually WANT to answer them. Boy was I surprised when I looked in my email this morning. I originally thought I’d get a sentence or two in response to my questions and base my article on those answers. It looks like John Carmack decided to write the article for me. I want to thank him for the time it took to answer my questions so thoroughly. He is an incredibly busy man who 5 John Carmack Archive 6 Interviews has a very active fanbase that sends him 50 emails a day. Please take note of his PS note at the bottom. Respecting this, I will ask for no more interviews from him until at least 1998 :). I think he would appreciate it if everyone else took his caution to heart and not start sending him a lot of email with questions. This interview and further editorial articles will be posted on Dark Re- quiem’s homepage as soon as DR j2j has enough free time to devote to the new ”Dark Tribune” section of the page. This has been in the works for a while, and already has several articles ready to go. DR j2j is also a busy man, and his professional concerns take precedence over the ”Dark Tribune”. It’ll be up ”when it is finished” :) Questions Bone: Just a recent development. Shawn Green has left id for Ion Storm. It seems that there have been a LOT of defections from id over the past few months. How does this affect id in terms of workload? Id has always been a small development community, but aren’t you guys reaching crit- ical mass where the workload becomes too much? John Carmack: Lots of people will read what they like into the the de- partures from Id, but our development team is at least as strong now as it has ever been. Romero was pushed out of id because he wasn’t working hard enough. We have hired Paul Steed, a new artist. That is the balance of changes to our development team. I believe that three programmers, three artists, and three level designers can still create the best games in the world. The other departures have been from our biz/support side, which doesn’t have anything to do with product creation. We are scaling back our pub- lishing biz so that we are mostly just a developer. This was always a major point of conflict with Romero – he wants an empire, I just want to create good programs. Everyone is happy now. CHAPTER 1. JOHN CARMACK INTERVIEW John Carmack Archive 7 Interviews Bone: As always, id leads the industry in technical terms, and others fol- low behind. However, isn’t there a boundary to how much more you can do given current input/output technologies? Doesn’t it then fall to the point of ”artistry”? What prompts this question is many of the screen- shots I’ve seen of Unreal. Some of the texture-mapping and monsters are just stunning in their artistry. How can id compete with companies that employ dozens of artists in their 3d efforts? It just seems that the ”push the technology farther” answer is simply not much of an option anymore until the next input/output technological breakthrough comes along. John Carmack: The official codename for the next generation game en- gine is ”trinity”. There is no information to be gleaned from that, we just need something to call it when it is discussed. The architecture for trinity is well underway, and it will be dramatically better in many ways. In fact, this next generation has more distinction than any before it, because it is the first of the transition from the pixel to the texture mapped triangle. Assumptions change and new capabilities arise beyond what a simple processor speed increase would have given. Pushing the technology is a long way from over, trust me. As far as unreal goes, we can’t compete with an unreleased product, be- cause a non existent product does everything you dream of and has no faults. Think back to what everyone thought quake was before anything was released. I wish Epic well, in any case. Unlike some other compa- nies, the principle developers at Epic have not involved themselves in any mudslinging. It is also a mistake to think that Id’s games ride on technology alone. DOOM and Quake aren’t just the minimum work required to make a 3d and networking engine a game – they are the right game elements as well. A user always wants more of everything – more features, more artwork, more levels. The assumption that hiring more people gives a better prod- uct is often incorrect. It might (but not always) get you MORE product, but not necessarily BETTER product. Bone: In the heyday when Quake was about to be released id had a strong presence on the net with informative .plan files, and romero would actu- ally appear on the undernet sometimes to brave the IRC nightmare to CHAPTER 1. JOHN CARMACK INTERVIEW John Carmack Archive 8 Interviews answer questions and just be involved. It seems that id has closed up since then and not been as involved with communicating with their end- users. Some of the people complain that id has stopped being interested in getting the community *involved* with the process of software devel- opment. They feel left out. I have not felt this personally, since I was part of the beta program for QW, but I was in the extreme minority. Is this lack of info simply because you are too busy with Quake II or is it a reaction to the fact that the main ego at id (Romero) had left and there simply wasn’t a spokesperson left? John Carmack: Romero was going on IRC when he should have been working, from my point of view. I listen a lot to the user community, but I make no apologies for prior- itizing heavily. A suggestion or opinion from Blue, Scary, Disruptor, or one of the many people that publicly devote much time and effort to the quake community gets orders of magnitude more weight than Joe Ran- dom User’s one-liner on IRC.

    Release Notes for X11R6.8.2 The X.OrgFoundation The XFree86 Project, Inc. 9February 2005 Abstract These release notes contains information about features and their status in the X.Org Foundation X11R6.8.2 release. It is based on the XFree86 4.4RC2 RELNOTES docu- ment published by The XFree86™ Project, Inc. Thereare significant updates and dif- ferences in the X.Orgrelease as noted below. 1. Introduction to the X11R6.8.2 Release The release numbering is based on the original MIT X numbering system. X11refers to the ver- sion of the network protocol that the X Window system is based on: Version 11was first released in 1988 and has been stable for 15 years, with only upwardcompatible additions to the coreX protocol, a recordofstability envied in computing. Formal releases of X started with X version 9 from MIT;the first commercial X products werebased on X version 10. The MIT X Consortium and its successors, the X Consortium, the Open Group X Project Team, and the X.OrgGroup released versions X11R3 through X11R6.6, beforethe founding of the X.OrgFoundation. Therewill be futuremaintenance releases in the X11R6.8.x series. However,efforts arewell underway to split the X distribution into its modular components to allow for easier maintenance and independent updates. We expect a transitional period while both X11R6.8 releases arebeing fielded and the modular release completed and deployed while both will be available as different consumers of X technology have different constraints on deployment. Wehave not yet decided how the modular X releases will be numbered. We encourage you to submit bug fixes and enhancements to bugzilla.freedesktop.orgusing the xorgproduct, and discussions on this server take place on <[email protected]>.

Walking a linear path, listening to the narrator. Figure 2: Proteus (Key and Kanaga 2013). Exploring a pastoral and pixelated generated island with little challenge. 1 Figure 3: Gone Home (The Fullbright Company 2013). Returning to your childhood home to learn of your sister’s life through minimal puzzles. In games, we traditionally expect that the effort we exert will influence the game state and outcome, and we expect to feel emotionally attached to this outcome (Juul 2003) such that performing well will make us happy, and performing poorly will make us unhappy. But a number of recent games, derogatorily dismissed as walking simulators, limit both our options for interacting with the game world and our feeling of responsibility for the outcome. Examples include Dear Esther (The Chinese Room 2012), Proteus (Key & Kanaga 2013), and Everybody’s Gone to the Rapture (The Chinese Room 2015), and Gone Home (The Fullbright Company 2013). “Walking simulator” is a divisive term, originally coined to dismiss these experiences as “not real games” lacking gameplay, thus only simulating “walking”. Developers are divided over whether to reject (KILL SCREEN STAFF 2016) the term or reclaim (Butler 2015 p.

  • Building a Java First-Person Shooter
    3D Java Game Programming – Episode 0 Building a Java First-Person Shooter Episode 0 [Last update: 5/03/2017] These notes are intended to accompany the video sessions being presented on the youtube channel “3D Java Game Programming” by youtube member “The Cherno” at https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL656DADE0DA25ADBB. I created them as a way to review the material and explore in more depth the topics presented. I am sharing with the world since the original work is based on material freely and openly available. Note: These notes DO NOT stand on their own, that is, I rely on the fact that you viewed and followed along the video and may want more information, clarification and or the material reviewed from a different perspective. The purpose of the videos is to create a first-person shooter (FPS) without using any Java frameworks such as Lightweight Java Game Library (LWJGL), LibGDX, or jMonkey Game Engine. The advantages to creating a 3D FPS game without the support of specialized game libraries that is to limit yourself to the commonly available Java classes (not even use the Java 2D or 3D APIs) is that you get to learn 3D fundamentals. For a different presentation style that is not geared to following video episodes checkout my notes/book on “Creating Games with Java.” Those notes are more in a book format and covers creating 2D and 3D games using Java in detail. In fact, I borrow or steal from these video episode notes quite liberally and incorporate into my own notes. Prerequisites You should be comfortable with basic Java programming knowledge that would be covered in the one- semester college course.

  • COMPARATIVE VIDEOGAME CRITICISM by Trung Nguyen
    COMPARATIVE VIDEOGAME CRITICISM by Trung Nguyen Citation Bogost, Ian. Unit Operations: An Approach to Videogame Criticism. Cambridge, MA: MIT, 2006. Keywords: Mythical and scientific modes of thought (bricoleur vs. engineer), bricolage, cyber texts, ergodic literature, Unit operations. Games: Zork I. Argument & Perspective Ian Bogost’s “unit operations” that he mentions in the title is a method of analyzing and explaining not only video games, but work of any medium where works should be seen “as a configurative system, an arrangement of discrete, interlocking units of expressive meaning.” (Bogost x) Similarly, in this chapter, he more specifically argues that as opposed to seeing video games as hard pieces of technology to be poked and prodded within criticism, they should be seen in a more abstract manner. He states that “instead of focusing on how games work, I suggest that we turn to what they do— how they inform, change, or otherwise participate in human activity…” (Bogost 53) This comparative video game criticism is not about invalidating more concrete observances of video games, such as how they work, but weaving them into a more intuitive discussion that explores the true nature of video games. II. Ideas Unit Operations: Like I mentioned in the first section, this is a different way of approaching mediums such as poetry, literature, or videogames where works are a system of many parts rather than an overarching, singular, structured piece. Engineer vs. Bricoleur metaphor: Bogost uses this metaphor to compare the fundamentalist view of video game critique to his proposed view, saying that the “bricoleur is a skillful handy-man, a jack-of-all-trades who uses convenient implements and ad hoc strategies to achieve his ends.” Whereas the engineer is a “scientific thinker who strives to construct holistic, totalizing systems from the top down…” (Bogost 49) One being more abstract and the other set and defined.

Both sexes are playing but how do they create a character when they have free hands? Are there any differences from a gender perspective? The main purpose is to answer the question: How does women and men create characters in the computergame The Sims? By looking at the result of four women and four mens created character and then interviewing them for profound information, we have received data to answer those questions for our study. Data has shown that the men were less personal when they created a character, used more imagination and took less time to create the character. The majority of the women created themselfs or part of themselfs and took more time on details. KEYWORDS The Sims, computergames, gender 2 SAMMANFATTNING Dagens spelvanor mellan kvinnor och män beror på åldern. Båda könen spelar men hur skapar de karaktär när de har fria händer? Finns det skillnader ur ett genusperspektiv? Det huvudsakliga syftet är att besvara frågan: Hur skapar kvinnor och män karaktärer i spelet The Sims? Genom att titta på resultatet av fyra kvinnor och fyra mäns karaktär och sedan intervjua dem för djupgående information har vi fått data som besvarar dessa frågor för vår studie.
