  • Hamurabi Wikipedia Article
    Hamurabi - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia 1/17/12 3:18 PM Hamurabi From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Hamurabi is a text-based game of land and resource management and is one of the earliest computer games. Its name is a shortening of Hammurabi, reduced to fit an eight-character limit. Contents 1 History 2 Gameplay 3 Influence 4 References 5 External links History Doug Dyment wrote The Sumer Game in 1968 as a demonstration program for the FOCAL programming language, programming it on a DEC PDP-8. The game has often been inaccurately attributed to Richard Merrill, the designer of FOCAL. Once a version of BASIC was released for the PDP-8, David H. Ahl ported it to BASIC. The game spread beyond mainframes when Ahl published an expanded version of it in BASIC Computer Games, the first best-selling computer book.[1] The expanded version was renamed Hamurabi [sic] and added an end-of-game performance appraisal.[2] This version was then ported to many different microcomputers. Gameplay Like many BASIC games of the time, Hamurabi was mainly a game of numeric input. As the ruler, the player could buy and sell land, purchase grain and decide how much grain to release to his kingdom. Scott Rosenberg, in Dreaming in Code, wrote of his encounter with the game:[3] I was fifteen years old and in love with a game called Sumer, which put me in charge of an ancient city-state in the Fertile Crescent. Today's computer gamers might snicker at its crudity: its progress consisted of all-capital type pecked out line by line on a paper scroll.

But there are reasons why this never- ending story has endured. I have always believed that this special connection to Star Trek we all enjoy comes from the positive picture the stories consistently envision.

  • Learning to Code
    PART ILEARNING TO CODE How Important is Programming? “To understand computers is to know about programming. The world is divided… into people who have written a program and people who have not.” Ted Nelson, Computer Lib/Dream Machines (1974) How important is it for you to learn to program a computer? Since the introduction of the first digital electronic computers in the 1940s, people have answered this question in surprisingly different ways. During the first wave of commercial computing—in the 1950s and 1960s, when 1large and expensive mainframe computers filled entire rooms—the standard advice was that only a limited number of specialists would be needed to program com- puters using simple input devices like switches, punched cards, and paper tape. Even during the so-called “golden age” of corporate computing in America—the mid- to late 1960s—it was still unclear how many programming technicians would be needed to support the rapid computerization of the nation’s business, military, and commercial operations. For a while, some experts thought that well-designed computer systems might eventually program themselves, requiring only a handful of attentive managers to keep an eye on the machines. By the late 1970s and early 1980s, however, the rapid emergence of personal computers (PCs), and continuing shortages of computer professionals, shifted popular thinking on the issue. When consumers began to adopt low-priced PCs like the Apple II (1977), the IBM PC (1981), and the Commodore 64 (1982) by the millions, it seemed obvious that ground-breaking changes were afoot. The “PC Revolution” opened up new frontiers, employed tens of thousands of people, and (according to some enthusiasts) demanded new approaches to computer literacy.

    THE PENNSYLVANIA STATE UNIVERSITY SCHREYER HONORS COLLEGE DEPARTMENT OF FILM-VIDEO AND MEDIA STUDIES THE EVOLUTION OF UHURA: REPRESENTATIONS OF WOMEN IN TREK KRISTEN TUNNEY Fall 2010 A thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for a baccalaureate degree in Film-Video with honors in Media Studies Reviewed and approved* by the following: Jeanne Lynn Hall Associate Professor of Communications Thesis Supervisor Barbara Bird Associate Professor of Communications Honors Adviser Paula Droege Lecturer in Philosophy Third Reader * Signatures are on file in the Schreyer Honors College. i Abstract: The Evolution of Uhura: Representations of Women in Trek will be a primarily textual character analysis* of the ways in which the character of Uhura has evolved and transformed over the past forty years. In the paper, I claim that Trek films have always had both positive and negative representations of women, and that ―NuTrek‖ fails and succeeds in ways that are different from but comparable to those of ―classic‖ Trek. I will devote the first half of my paper to Uhura‘s portrayal in Star Treks I through VI. The second half of my research will focus on the newest film, Star Trek (2009). I will attempt to explain the character‘s evolution as well as to critique the ways in which NuTrek featuring the Original Series characters manages to simultaneously triumph and fail at representing the true diversity of women. * my interpretation of how different characters can be ―read‖ as either positive or negative representations of gender; my own interpretation will be compared and contrasted with that of other Trek scholars, and I will be citing sources both in feminist literature and media studies literature (and some combinations) to back up my own conclusions about the films.

  • Nichelle Nichols (Lt. Uhura) Wants to Make Science of Star Trek Reality," Sun·Herald, June 4, 1977, N.P., Nichols Bio File, NASA HQ
    More Than "Just Uhura" Understanding Star Trek's Lt. Uhura, Civil Rights, and Space History Margaret A. Weitekamp s the scene opens on an isolated roadhouse bar, the viewers' A first glimpse inside the establishment reveals a tall, attractive woman striding confidently toward a set of swinging doors, her profile reflected in the photographs hanging along the hallway. As she pushes through the doors, the music booms. She greets some friends at a table and heads straight for the bar, her long hair swing­ ing behind her, her step in time with the music. At the bar, she places a large order of drinks with alien-sounding names. Her good time with her fellow Starfleet cadets is interrupted, however, when a young man, a local, whom the viewers recognize as an inebriated James T. Kirk, starts hitting on her, trying to buy her a drink: "Her shot's on me," he directs the bartender. "Her shot's on her," she answers. 'Thanks, but no thanks." As they banter, she remains unflustered, an equal in the verbal spar­ ring. When Kirk asks her for her name, she replies, "It's Uhura." 22 MORE THAN " JUST UHURA" 23 The author with actress Nichelle Nichols, who gave an interview for this chapter, in the National Air and Space Museum's art gallery. "Uhura what?" "Just Uhura," she replies. Her brush-off answer is an inside joke for Star Trek fans: in the original 1960s television show, her char­ acter never had a first name. (Kirk's quest to learn her full name became a running joke throughout the 2009 film .) But Kirk refuses to be deterred by her rebuffs.

  • From Electronic to Video Gaming (Computing in Canada: Historical
    From Electronic to Video Gaming (Computing in Canada: Historical Assessment Update) Sharing the Fun: Video Games in Canada, 1950-2015 Canada Science and Technology Museum Version 2 — January 30, 2015 Jean-Louis Trudel 1 Introduction Why is the playing of games so important? Even today, the approximately two billion dollars generated in GDP for the Canadian economy by the indigenous video game industry is far outweighed by the $155 billion in annual revenues of the overall information and communications technology (ICT) field. Similarly, while the video game industry may claim about 16,000 employees, the entire ICT sector employs over 520,000 Canadians. 1 Yet, 65 video game and computer science programs have sprung up in Canadian colleges and universities to cater to this new field where 97% of new graduate hires happen within Canada. 2 Furthermore, electronic gaming has become a pervasive form of entertainment, with 61% of Canadian households reporting by 2012 that they owned at least one game console and about 30% of Canadians playing every single day. 3 With the increasing adoption of mobile platforms (smartphones, tablets) available for use throughout the day, that percentage is expected to rise. Indeed, by 2014, 54% of Canadians had played a computer or video game within the past four weeks. 4 Therefore, paying attention to an industry that is able to capture the attention of so many Canadians on a regular basis is a recognition of its catering to a very deep-seated human instinct, sometimes identified as a neotenous feature rooted in early hominid evolution. Playfulness has long been recognized as a basic wellspring of human existence.
