  • Ludopor – Platform for Creating Word Educational Games
    LudoPor Word Games Creation Platform Samuel José Raposo Vieira Mira March of 2009 Acknowledgements While I have done a lot of work on this project, it would not have been possible without the help of many great people. I would like to thank my mother and my wonderful girlfriend who have encouraged me in everything I have ever done. I also owe a great amount to my thesis supervisor, Rui Prada whose advice and criticism has been critical in this project. Next I would like to thank the Ciberdúvidas community, especially Ana Martins, for having the time and will to try and experiment my prototypes. A special thanks is owed to my good friend António Leonardo and all the users that helped in this project especially the ones in the weekly meetings. 2 Abstract This thesis presents an approach for creating Word Games. We researched word games as Trivial Pursuit, Scrabble and more to establish reasons for their success. After this research we proposed a conceptual model using key concepts present in many of those games. The model defines the Game World with concepts such as the World Representation, Player, Challenges, Links, Goals and Performance Indicators. Then we created LudoPor - a prototype of a platform using some of the referred concepts. The prototype was made using an iterative design starting from paper prototypes to high fidelity prototypes using user evaluation tests to help define the right path. In this task we had the help of many users including persons of Ciberdúvidas (a Portuguese language community). Another objective of LudoPor was to create games for Ciberdúvidas that would be shown in their website.

  • Crossett Library Board Games
    Crossett Library Board Games King of Tokyo is a good one. (basically like the yard game, king of the hill, but on a board game) ​ Catan is a settlers game (like Risk but without the fighting/ combat) x 2 copies plus 5-6 player expansion ​ pack Cyclades is a popular game (also like Risk but in Greek/Roman God pantheon) Also with a cities ​ expansion pack Freedom is a new, award winning game about the abolitionist movement/ underground railroad in the US. ​ River, Mysterious Library, Lighthouse, and Quick are charming little board games from German ​ designers that are very fast to play. For younger gamers. Codenames and Secret Hitler are "hidden identity" games a la Clue although S.H. requires 5+ players, ​ but very fun as long as you get enough players. Elder Sign and Spirit Island are incredibly fun/ incredibly complicated games of monsters and spirits. ​ ​ ​ Munchkins (cards only) and Small World (tiles and board) are fantasy battle games a la Dungeons and ​ ​ ​ Dragons but simplified. Mille Borne is a classic French car racing game. ​ Exploding Kittens, Red Flags, Buzzed, Cards Against Humanity, Bad Choices and What do you Meme? are card games which are really quick and inappropriate at any age. But fun especially at a party ​ with guests who have dirty thoughts. Evolution is an interesting game of species creation with resources going to fur, long necks, burrowing, ​ claws, etc. Centered around a watering hole. Have not played but I learned it and it seems cool. Betrayal at House on the Hill is a mystery house game in which a player turns on the other characters.

  • Devotions for Lent 2021 Heather Roth Johnson, Editor
    Devotions for Lent 2021 Heather Roth Johnson, Editor February 17 Sorry! “And forgive us our sins, as we forgive those who sin against us.” (Matthew 6:12) No matter what age, I always have loved games. Online gaming, cards, and board games - I will play anything. But the best game is Sorry! That feeling of squashing someone else’s pawn, sending them home, and claiming their spot while saying in a snotty voice, “SORRY!” is exhilarating. As a kid, I would follow the “sorry” with “not!” These days “sorry not sorry” is a common phrase used to express a lack of regret or repentance. Sometimes people say it to be funny, but sometimes when people are forced to apologize, you may hear “sorry...not sorry.” Today marks the first day in lent. We ash our foreheads, hear the call to repentance, and relearn about the forgiveness of sins. Isn’t that what we get in Christ Jesus? True forgiveness? No “sorry not sorry” from him, but instead everlasting life, love, and forgiveness. Who do you need to forgive today? Jesus, in the game of life, help us to love and say we are “sorry” to others. Amen. February 18 Crazy 8’s Jesus said, “Don’t store up treasures on earth! Moths and rust can destroy them, and thieves can break in and steal them. Instead, store up your treasures in heaven….Your heart will always be where your treasure is.” (Matthew 6:19-21) It’s been said, “the one who dies with the most toys wins.” In other words, life is all about accumulating stuff.

  • June 16, 2019 the Well Played Life: the Game of Life I Grew up in A
    June 16, 2019 The Well Played Life: The Game of Life I grew up in a family that was, and still is, BIG on playing games! Every year we would get at least one new game for Christmas and add it to our overflowing game closet. In the summers and any school break, my sisters and I would gather around the table and play game after game… double solitaire, spit, war, pinochle, scrabble, monopoly, backgammon, encore, trivial pursuit, Jenga, just to name a few. While we played, we would talk and laugh, bicker and fight as siblings do so well, we’d win or lose, and then start again. Each game has its own set of rules and instructions, its own end goal and purpose – often to finish with the most points or the most money! Today we’re kicking off a new 5-week sermon series called “The Well Played Life,” where we’ll delve into one game a week to see what life lessons are taught through the game and then hold them up to the teachings of our faith to see how they line up. Today, we open our series with the Game of Life. The goal in the Milton Bradley Game of Life is to make it to the end with the highest accumulated value. Your wealth might be in cash on hand, invested in your real estate, or collected through the Life Tokens which represent the random acquisitions of money along the way. Different choices and stokes of luck determine how much you are able to accumulate – did you choose to go to college or start working right away, what kind of career did you end up with, and how much did you make? How many kids do you have and how many spaces along the board did you land on that added to or subtracted from your overall wealth? There’s paydays, insurance, stocks, investments, lawsuits, and even wagering on games of chance.

  • RULES of the GAME As Told by the Bluecoat Lieutenant
    RULES OF THE GAME as told by the Bluecoat Lieutenant The Classic Game of Battlefield Strategy Day 43 Let us not beat about the bush: I am fearful for tomorrow. We shall engage in the decisive battle at first light. Goodness me! I can already catch the smell of freshly baked bread wafting from the mess tent! Although the village of Meerbeeck is but a few hundred yards away from our position, it feels further from our grasp than ever... Our numbers have been depleted over the past few days. It is this cursed war, but also the result of hunger and disease. Only a few dozen men remain! We can count ourselves lucky that our efforts have weakened the enemy as well. Nevertheless, the Redcoats are stronger than we thought. I fear this could very well be the last time that I shall have to deliberate over the deployment of our troops. Yesterday’s attack from the right flank brought us little success. Our left flank was left gravely exposed! The Redcoats came within a whisker of capturing our flag. The game was so nearly up... comme dit par le Lieutenant de Bluecoat de Lieutenant le par dit comme RÈGLES DU JEU DU RÈGLES But, never underestimate the Bluecoat army! 10 9 8 7 6 1x Marshal 1x General 2x Colonel 3x Major 4x Captain 1x Flag 5 4 3 2 1 4x Lieutenant 4x Sergeant 5x Miner 8x Scout 1x Spy 6x Bomb First, we have our Marshal: Baron Chaussée holds the highest rank.
