Tomasz Dąbrowski / Rockhard GIC 2016 Poznań WHAT DO WE WANT? WHAT DO WE WANT?
WHY (M)RUBY SHOULD BE YOUR NEXT SCRIPTING LANGUAGE? Tomasz Dąbrowski / Rockhard GIC 2016 Poznań WHAT DO WE WANT? WHAT DO WE WANT? • fast iteration times • easy modelling of complex gameplay logic & UI • not reinventing the wheel • mature tools • easy to integrate WHAT DO WE HAVE? MY PREVIOUS SETUP • Lua • not very popular outside gamedev (used to be general scripting language, but now most applications seem to use python instead) • even after many years I haven’t gotten used to its weird syntax (counting from one, global variables by default, etc) • no common standard - everybody uses Lua differently • standard library doesn’t include many common functions (ie. string.split) WHAT DO WE HAVE? • as of 2016, Lua is still a gold standard of general game scripting languages • C# (though not scripting) is probably even more popular because of the Unity • Unreal uses proprietary methods of scripting (UScript, Blueprints) • Squirrel is also quite popular (though nowhere near Lua) • AngelScript, Javascript (V8), Python… are possible yet very unpopular choices • and you can always just use C++ MY CRITERIA POPULARITY • popularity is not everything • but using a popular language has many advantages • most problems you will encounter have already been solved (many times) • more production-grade tools • more documentation, tutorials, books, etc • most problems you will encounter have already been solved (many times) • this literally means, that you will be able to have first prototype of anything in seconds by just copying and pasting code • (you can -

Québécitude and the Visual Contextualization of Language In
Alternative Francophone vol.1, 9(2016) : 136-155 http://ejournals.library.ualberta.ca/index.php/af Y a-t-il des traces du sentiment de l’identité canadienne dans la BD québécoise? Mira Falardeau Chercheure indépendante Parler de l’identité canadienne dans une forme d’expression québécoise revient à questionner les fondements de l’identité québécoise, avec toutes les oppositions, pour ne pas dire les contradictions inhérentes au propos. Notre postulat soutient que ces deux identités se recoupent, même si dans son discours, la culture québécoise se distingue habituellement par sa différence et sa fierté de l’être. Dans les faits, les deux cultures sont les plus souvent imbriquées, l’une faisant partie de l’autre, aussi bien du point de vue géo — politique que culturel. La BD, art par excellence du symbole et de la litote, a su synthétiser ces points de vue et à travers six œuvres sélectionnées chez six grands artistes de la BD québécoise, échelonnées de 1900 à nos jours, nous tentons ici d’éclairer ces tiraillements et de démontrer comment ces mouvements parfois antagonistes donnent lieu à une parole dynamique et représentative. Baptiste, le cocasse diplomate international, Onésime et les ruraux de Chartier, le super antihéros loufoque Capitaine Kébec, le Carcajou fripon amérindien de Laniel, la citadine solitaire du métro de Doucet, enfin Paul face à la société québécoise, tous à leur façon sont les chantres d’une façon de voir qui nous réunit à travers nos divergences. De notre projecteur, nous éclairerons tout d’abord leur tonalité de base. Puis, dans le sillon ainsi creusé, nous soulignerons la fibre particulière que chaque œuvre vient flatter et éventuellement, les ambiguïtés du discours de ces grandes figures de notre imaginaire collectif. -

A Free and Independent Press Has Become One of the Hallmarks of a Healthy Democracy
PROVINCIAL UNITY AMIDST A DIMINISHING PRESS GALLERY by LESLIE DE MEULLES 2009-2010 INTERN THE ONTARIO LEGISLATURE INTERNSHIP PROGRAMME (OLIP) 1303A WHITNEY BLOCK QUEEN'S PARK TORONTO, ONTARIO M7A 1A1 EMAIL: [email protected] PAPER PRESENTED AT THE 2010 ANNUAL MEETING OF THE CANADIAN POLITICAL SCIENCE ASSOCIATION, MONTREAL,QUÉBEC, WEDNESDAY, JUNE 2nd, 2010. A free and independent press has become one of the hallmarks of a healthy democracy. Press galleries and bureaus have similarly become a cornerstone of the democratic process insofar as they independently report on, and keep politicians accountable. However, the Ontario Legislature Press Gallery membership has been declining over the past 20 years. This decline may very well be an indicator that this „valued‟ democratic institution is in dire straits. This paper attempts to explain why the Press Gallery is shrinking and how decreasing number have led to a lack of political coverage to Northern Ontario, and is leading Northern constituents to rely heavily on their MPPs as a source of political news. This is problematic, as MPP communication can hardly be expected to be non-partisan, objective reporting on the events at Queen‟s Park. That people in Northern Ontario rely on partisan political messaging as a substitute for political news shows how the media as an institution is failing the North, as relying on these forms of communication is akin to relying on propaganda. Due to a dearth of literature on the Ontario Legislature, the research for this paper relied on interviews conducted with Northern MPPs, and current and former Press Gallery members1. The paper exists in three parts.
