Catalogación De Los Dispositivos De Entretenimiento De Los Fondos Museográficos Del Museo De Informática Escola Tècnica Superior d’Enginyeria Informàtica Universitat Politècnica de València Catalogación de los dispositivos de entretenimiento de los fondos museográficos del Museo de Informática PROYECTO DE FIN DE CARRERA Ingeniería Técnica en Informática de Gestión Autor: Iván López García Tutor: Xavier Molero Prieto 24 de septiembre de 2015 Resumen En este proyecto se plantea el estudio y catalogación de las consolas, videojue- gos y dispositivos periféricos pertenecientes a los fondos del Museo de Informá- tica de la Escuela Técnica Superior de Ingeniería Informática de la Universidad Politécnica de Valencia. El estudio incluye un análisis cronológico de los videojuegos a lo largo de la historia, de donde se han confeccionado los datos relacionados con el origen de los dispositivos de entretenimiento del museo, de forma complementaria a los datos extraídos de las fuentes correspondientes para cada dispositivo destacadas en la catalogación. Además del estudio histórico, se incluye la catalogación de los dispositivos, que ha sido desarrollada siguiendo una plantilla en cada uno de ellos para faci- litar su posterior traslado a la web del museo, donde podrá ser examinada por cualquier persona interesada en el museo y, en un futuro, ser modificada para añadir cualquier nueva adquisición por parte de los donantes del museo. Palabras clave: Museo de Informática, Catalogación, Consolas, Videojuegos. Resum Aquest projecte es planteja l’estudi i catalogaciò de les consoles, videojocs i dispositius perifèrics pertenyents als fons del Museu d’Informàtica de l’Escola Tècnica Superior d’Enginyeria Informàtica de la Universitat Politècnica de Va- lència. L’estudi inclou un anàlisi cronològic dels videojocs al llarg de la història, d’on s’han confeccionat les dades relacionades amb l’origen dels dispositius d’entre- teniment del museu, de forma complementària a les dades tretes de les fonts corresponents per a cada dispositiu destacades en la catalogació. A més de l’estudi històric, s’inclou la catalogaciò dels dispositius, que ha sigut desenvolupada seguint un model en cada un d’ells per a facilitar el seu posteri- or trasllat a la web del museu, on podrà ser examinada per qualsevol persona interessada en el museu i, en un futur, ser modificada per a incloure qualsevol nova adquisició per part dels donants del museu.

Abstract In this project it is arisen the study and cataloging of consoles, games and pe- ripherals from the collection of the Museum of Informatics School of Engineering at the Polytechnic University of Valencia. The study includes a chronological analysis of video games throughout his- tory, whence data related to the origin of the museum entertainment devices has 4 been made in a complementary way to extracted data from pertinent sources for any device noted in the cataloguing. Besides the historical study, it is included a cataloguing of the devices, which has been developed following a template for each of them to facilitate subsequent transfer to the museum’s website, where it can be examined by anyone interested in the museum and, in the future, to be changed to add any new acquisition by the museum donors.

  • Tie Break Tennis by 01Toys Review by Jr2swiss Nov/04/2004
    Offline Edition Version: Mar/22/2005 14:13 http://reviews.chemicalkungfu.de/ 1 Ah Catsmanga Daioh by taRo Review by BobBorakovitz Nov/03/2004 This is a really nice little game, very polished with excellent graphics and music! The text is in Japanese (or another similar foreign language) but it's easy to understand the menus. The gameplay is simple, you are a little anime girl on the bottom of the screen, your goal is to avoid the many cats that are falling from the sky while collecting tokens that also fall from the sky. For every cat that you avoid you get 1 point, and you get bonus points by collecting the tokens. I love the music, it's a catchy tune, but there's not too many sound effects, however the ones that are there work well and sound great without crackling. The feature in this game that really makes it stand out is the online ranking system! When your game ends you get a screen that has a password and a website to rank yourself among other players! At the time of this writing, my ranking is a dismal #144! Oh well, I'll keep trying! Graphics: 9 Sound: 8 Gameplay: 9 Progress: 10 Gameidea: 6 Replay value: 7 OVERALL RATING: 8.2 2 Air Rage by Taras Young Review by frolik Nov/04/2004 Coded for the 15 days Coding Competition was this little one-shot shootemup where you fly a Boeing 737 that has been armed to the teeth with weapons and are pursued by government jets intent on taking you down.

  • Tellstory a Medialogy Project About Storytelling in Handheld Games
    TellStory A Medialogy project about storytelling in handheld games Medialogy - 10th semester Project period: 01-02-2010 to 16-06-2010 Supervisors: Tony Brooks & Kristoffer Jensen Student: David Lindholm Abstract This paper describes a project made to explore storytelling in a game on a hand-held platform. The application used in the test is a small game-like iPhone app, implemented using the iPhone SDK 3.2 and various other tools. The application tells two stories using two different storytelling tools: Non-player character (NPC) dialogue and pure text. To evaluate the impact of having a character there to tell the story versus just reading a screen of text, a small group of people were tested and interviewed. The results give some insight into what factors influence storytelling in a hand-held game, as well as the understanding of the story and storytelling preferences. ------------------------------ David Lindholm David Lindholm 2 of 55 Reader's manual The report is numbered with Arabic numerals, and the appendix is numbered using Roman numerals. When referencing other sections, both the section and page numbers will be listed. All figures and tables are numbered incrementally using Arabic numerals. When reading this report, any mentions of previous or earlier projects are to be understood as previous projects and project groups I have been involved in. Acknowledgements Parts of the test application relies on graphics that were reused from previous projects. Additionally, as there is a small amount of overlap between this project and previous works, parts of this report contain content also used in earlier reports. For those reasons, I would like to thank my former associates Razvan Enescu, Qiong Jia, and Nicolaj Hansen, for allowing me to continue the work that we started together.

  • Posibilidades Del Motor 3D De La Nintendo DS
    Posibilidades del motor 3D de la Nintendo DS Proyecto Fin de Carrera Ingenier´ıaT´ecnicade Telecomunicaciones Especialidad Imagen y Sonido Escuela Universitaria de Ingenier´ıaT´ecnicade Telecomunicaci´on Universidad Polit´ecnicade Madrid Pablo Santiago Liceras Tutor: Enrique Rend´onAngulo 9 de septiembre de 2013 Proyecto Fin de Carrera Tema: Gráficos por ordenador Título: Posibilidades del motor 3D de la Nintendo DS Autor: Pablo Santiago Liceras Titulación: Sonido e imagen Tutor: Enrique Rendón Angulo Departamento: DIAC Miembros del Tribunal Calificador: Presidente: Magdalena González Martín Vocal: Enrique Rendón Angulo Vocal Secretario: Alfonso Martín Marcos Fecha de Lectura: Septiembre 2013 Resumen La consola portátil Nintendo DS es una plataforma de desarrollo muy presente entre la comunidad de desarrolladores independientes, con una extensa y nutrida escena homebrew. Si bien las capacidades 2D de la consola están muy aprovechadas, dado que la mayor parte de los esfuerzos de los creadores amateur están enfocados en este aspecto, el motor 3D de ésta (el que se encarga de representar en pantalla modelos tridimensionales) no lo está de igual manera. Por lo tanto, en este proyecto se tiene en vista determinar las capacidades gráficas de la Nintendo DS. Para ello se ha realizado una biblioteca de funciones en C que permite aprovechar las posibilidades que ofrece la consola en el terreno 3D y que sirve como herramienta para la comunidad homebrew para crear aplicaciones 3D de forma sencilla, dado que se ha diseñado como un sistema modular y accesible. En cuanto al proceso de renderizado se han sacado varias conclusiones. En primer lugar se ha determinado la posibilidad de asignar varias componentes de color a un mismo vértice (color material reactivo a la iluminación, color por vértice directo y color de textura), tanto de forma independiente como simultáneamente, pudiéndose utilizar para aplicar diversos efectos al modelo, como iluminación pre-calculada o simulación de una textura mediante color por vértice, ahorrando en memoria de video.
