    La Brea and Beyond: The Paleontology of Asphalt-Preserved Biotas Edited by John M. Harris Natural History Museum of Los Angeles County Science Series 42 September 15, 2015 Cover Illustration: Pit 91 in 1915 An asphaltic bone mass in Pit 91 was discovered and exposed by the Los Angeles County Museum of History, Science and Art in the summer of 1915. The Los Angeles County Museum of Natural History resumed excavation at this site in 1969. Retrieval of the “microfossils” from the asphaltic matrix has yielded a wealth of insect, mollusk, and plant remains, more than doubling the number of species recovered by earlier excavations. Today, the current excavation site is 900 square feet in extent, yielding fossils that range in age from about 15,000 to about 42,000 radiocarbon years.

Nato podamo prednosti in slabosti izdelave lastnega igralnega pogona in ovrednotimo smotrnost izbire že obstoječega igralnega pogona. Nadaljujemo s predstavitvijo igralnega pogona, ki smo ga razvili. Predstavimo arhitekture in organizacije sistemov igralnega pogona, podamo kratek pregled implementacije najpomembnejših sistemov in opišemo izdelavo urejevalnika nivojev. Zmogljivost razvitega igralnega pogona prikažemo z izdelavo preproste 2D igre. v Development of a game engine and editor for creation of 2D games Keywords: game engine, editor, computer game UDK: 004.354.7:004.9(043.2) Abstract: In this work we present the process of development of a game engine.

  • UNIVERSITY of CALIFORNIA Los Angeles Acting Real
    UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA Los Angeles Acting Real: Mimesis and Media in Performance A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree Doctor of Philosophy in Theater and Performance Studies by Lindsay Brandon Hunter 2013 © Copyright by Lindsay Brandon Hunter 2013 ABSTRACT OF THE DISSERTATION Acting Real: Mimesis and Media in Performance by Lindsay Brandon Hunter Doctor of Philosophy in Theater and Performance Studies University of California, Los Angeles, 2013 Professor Sue-Ellen Case, Chair Theater, historically, has served as a site for intense debates about ontology, specifically as concerns distinctions between what is real, in Plato’s sense, and what is “merely” mimetic. Similar ontological debates have attended the development of new media technologies, which are often figured as enabling shady activities like impersonation, simulation, and piracy (on the internet, after all, no one knows you’re a dog, and Photoshopped images of Iranian missile tests circulate globally nearly instantly), and arousing related questions about authenticity, identity and ownership. My dissertation brings debates about realness and mimesis to three sites of twenty-first century performance: intermedial theater, specifically the Wooster Group’s 2007 Hamlet and the mediatized Burton/Gielgud Hamlet it deconstructs; reality television, specifically MTV’s “scripted reality” show The Hills; and alternate reality gaming, in particular the 2007 future forecasting game World Without Oil. In each of these sites I examine the ways ii mediatization and theatricality work, sometimes in concert and sometimes in conflict, to complicate and perform realness. Questions of realness, authenticity and honesty have long haunted Western theater traditions, and so I use the lens of Western theatrical acting to address related questions in new media performance contexts.

Some functions of a Game Engine ● Efficient display ● Culling ● Dynamic collision detection ● Drawing exteriors and terrain ● Interact with external devices ● etc... Write our own Game Engine using an existing Rendering Engine? Disadvantages of using an existing one: ● Learning curve of how it works ● Learning a new programming language? ● Less room for customization? Write our own Game Engine using an existing Rendering Engine? Probably not, there many of them. Advantages of using an existing one: ● Modularity ● Time saving ● Getting support from community What are we looking into a Game Engine for our project? ● Simple connectivity to 3rd party devices such as Kinect ● Find one that has been used for car games? ● Choose one that uses the programming language that we are more experienced ● Find one with a strong community of developers ● Robust, mature, maybe commercial games have used it Game Engines (or middleware) most used in the academic world ● UDK ( Unreal Engine 2,3) ● Panda 3D ● CryEngine ● Quake (id Tech) ● Source Engine (Half-life) ● Ogre3D ● Delta 3D ● OpenSceneGraph ● Unity Very complete list of Game Engines, Rendering Engines and API Bindings UDK License: Free/EULA.
