    SCHEDA NEW PLATINUM PI4 EDITION La seguente lista elenca la maggior parte dei titoli emulati dalla scheda NEW PLATINUM Pi4 (20.000). - I giochi per computer (Amiga, Commodore, Pc, etc) richiedono una tastiera per computer e talvolta un mouse USB da collegare alla console (in quanto tali sistemi funzionavano con mouse e tastiera). - I giochi che richiedono spinner (es. Arkanoid), volanti (giochi di corse), pistole (es. Duck Hunt) potrebbero non essere controllabili con joystick, ma richiedono periferiche ad hoc, al momento non configurabili. - I giochi che richiedono controller analogici (Playstation, Nintendo 64, etc etc) potrebbero non essere controllabili con plance a levetta singola, ma richiedono, appunto, un joypad con analogici (venduto separatamente). - Questo elenco è relativo alla scheda NEW PLATINUM EDITION basata su Raspberry Pi4. - Gli emulatori di sistemi 3D (Playstation, Nintendo64, Dreamcast) e PC (Amiga, Commodore) sono presenti SOLO nella NEW PLATINUM Pi4 e non sulle versioni Pi3 Plus e Gold. - Gli emulatori Atomiswave, Sega Naomi (Virtua Tennis, Virtua Striker, etc.) sono presenti SOLO nelle schede Pi4. - La versione PLUS Pi3B+ emula solo 550 titoli ARCADE, generati casualmente al momento dell'acquisto e non modificabile.

After the conference, the slides will be available at www.scottkim.com. Puzzles Part of many games. Adventure, education, action, web But how do you create them? Puzzles are an important part of many computer games. Cartridge-based action puzzle gamse, CD-ROM puzzle anthologies, adventure game, and educational game all need good puzzles. Good News / Bad News Mental challenge Marketable? Nonviolent Dramatic? Easy to program Hard to invent? Growing market Small market? The good news is that puzzles appeal widely to both males and females of all ages. Although the market is small, it is rapidly expanding, as computers become a mass market commodity and the internet shifts computer games toward familiar, quick, easy-to-learn games.

  • Putting Tactility Back Into Touch Controls Zach Gage
    Controls You Can Feel Putting Tactility Back Into Touch Controls Zach Gage - @helvetica - STFJ.net Tuesday, March 6, 12 so this is a talk on why tactility matters and how to bring that to touch games I am not a scientist Tuesday, March 6, 12 I need to say off the bat that I'm not a scientist. I am an artist Tuesday, March 6, 12 I'm an artist who has spent a lot of time thinking and working with interaction. Tuesday, March 6, 12 From large scale interactive artworks Tuesday, March 6, 12 to small scale critically acclaimed iPhone and iPad games Tuesday, March 6, 12 to weird art games, Tuesday, March 6, 12 to chat software Tuesday, March 6, 12 to interactive sculpture Tuesday, March 6, 12 to aggressive books, I’ve designed or thought about interaction in dozens different digital and non-digital contexts. In my experience, if you know what to think about, designing quality interaction is easy, and on touch systems, quality interaction often means designing for tactility. Tactility Tuesday, March 6, 12 When I talk about tactility, I’m not just referring to what you feel with your finger tips, I’m talking about the entire experience of physically interacting with a game. This presentation is an attempt to break my process down into rules that you can use to design your own games either for touch screens or ideally, any unfamiliar system of interaction. Interaction possibility dictates game possibility. Tuesday, March 6, 12 As far as I can tell, the root of many unsuccessful iPhone control schemes comes from designers not realizing that when you make a game for a touch screen you have to design controls.

The diseases are mostly related to incorrect exercise or excessive force imposed on hands, leading to tenosynovitis or carpal tunnel syndrome. To alleviate the symptoms or even to recover, besides drug treatment, supplementary rehabilitation training is necessary. The rehabilitation process forces the affected wrist area to continually exercise in order to stimulate the self-repair signals sent to the affected area for partial restoration, if not all, of the supposed functions. In modern world, using information technology to improve the rehabilitation environment with better approaches has become a trend. In this study, software programs coded in C# and Flash are developed to work on the Bluetooth ball hardware to facilitate the rehabilitation.

  • Differential Effects of a Cognitive Interference Task After Encoding
    Journal of Experimental Psychology: General © 2019 The Author(s) 2019, Vol. 148, No. 12, 2154–2180 0096-3445/19/$12.00 http://dx.doi.org/10.1037/xge0000598 Intrusive Memories and Voluntary Memory of a Trauma Film: Differential Effects of a Cognitive Interference Task After Encoding Alex Lau-Zhu, Richard N. Henson, and Emily A. Holmes University of Cambridge, United Kingdom Methods to reduce intrusive memories (e.g., of traumatic events) should ideally spare voluntary memory for the same event (e.g., to report on the event in court). Single-trace memory accounts assume that interfering with a trace should impact both its involuntary and voluntary expressions, whereas separate- trace accounts assume these two can dissociate, allowing for selective interference. This possibility was investigated in 3 experiments. Nonclinical participants viewed a trauma film followed by an interference task (Tetris game-play after reminder cues). Next, memory for the film was assessed with various measures. The interference task reduced the number of intrusive memories (diary-based, Experiments 1 and 2), but spared performance on well-matched measures of voluntary retrieval—free recall (Experi- ment 1) and recognition (Experiments 1 and 2)—challenging single-trace accounts. The interference task did not affect other measures of involuntary retrieval—perceptual priming (Experiment 1) or attentional bias (Experiment 2). However, the interference task did reduce the number of intrusive memories in a laboratory-based vigilance-intrusion task (Experiments 2 and 3), irrespective of concurrent working memory load during intrusion retrieval (Experiment 3). Collectively, results reveal a robust dissociation between intrusive and voluntary memories, having ruled out key methodological differences between how these two memory expressions are assessed, namely cue overlap (Experiment 1), attentional capture (Experiment 2), and retrieval load (Experiment 3).
