Hosting all major and up to date modpacks which are suitable for a big multiplayer experience. Over the years a lot of experience and custom solutions (mods, plugins) have been developed. The servers are monitored and hosted on multiple state of the art dedicated servers optimized for Minecraft. With dedication over years we have built the probably biggest heavily modded Minecraft server network, based on a friendly and helpful community including many long-time players. 1.2 What we stand for • Good Stability, Uptime and Performance • Working (Grief) Protection • Friendly Community and Staff-Team • Natural Modpack Experience • Major and latest Modpacks • Around for Years 1.3 Performance and Stability We know how much people rely on our servers. This is why staff do their best maintaining the network to keep downtime and lag to a minimum. As our main focus is a lag-free and reliable gaming experience we build many fixes and monitoring tools such as AE2 profiler which does announce the worst performing systems on the server. 3 MyMWiki Documentation, Release 0.0.1 We also monitor all servers live and get barked at by our Watchdog when something goes terribly wrong.

Naredili smo platformno igro preko programa Construct 2. Sicer obstaja več programov za izdelavo iger, kot so Unity, Game Maker, CraftStudio in podobni. Izdelali smo tudi svoje sprite za igro z pomočjo odprtokodnega programa Gimp. Iz raziskovalne naloge smo uspeli razbrati, kateri program je pametno uporabiti za ustvarjanje iger brez izkušenj, kako ga uporabljati in kaj potem narediti z rezultatom. Dokazano je, da je s pomočjo programa Construct 2 brez veliko napora možno ustvarjati lahke platformne igre.

Ha sido complicado y duro, pero no solo para mí. Es por eso que quiero mostrar mi agradecimiento a una serie de personas que han estado a mi lado, que me han apoyado o que me han enseñado durante estos dos largos años. A mi mujer, Katherine, la primera de todas, porque además de aguantar noches sin poder hablar conmigo, me ha acompañado en mi ilusión y me ha apoyado siempre, sin ella este día no hubiera llegado. A mis hijas, por supuesto, porque además de ser las mejores beta-testers que tengo, se enorgullecían de decir que tienen un padre que “hace videojuegos”. Ahora trataré de darles el tiempo que les ha robado este master. A mi compañero Xavier Pallicera, porque he encontrado no solo un compañero, también un amigo y un socio, ha sido un bastón en el que apoyarme en todo este largo camino “Xavi, ens continuarem trobant junts en moltes altres dificultats, pero ara treballant conjuntament per nosaltres mateixos”.

  • The Ojibway Club 2018 Art Show Catalogue
    The Ojibway Club 2018 Art Show Catalogue The Ojibway Art Show is proud to introduce our August community to the artists that will be participating in this year’s Ojibway Art Show. In this catalogue you will see representative images of the work each artist creates. These images may not be the exact pieces that will be for sale at this year’s show but they will give you a flavour for each artist’s aesthetic . Many of these artists are your favourites from years past, who continue to interpret our theme of “The North” in ways that meaningfully connect with their public. In addition to our regulars, the Jury has been very busy this winter attending art shows and scouting out new artists for the show. We are very excited to welcome younger ‘cottager’ artists who are just starting out with their medium or getting back to their creative muses. We are excited to support them in their efforts. As in the past, we will have a significant Native presence brought to us from Manitoulin Island thanks to Mike Douglas (and his pilot Bud Johnson). We are also welcoming an increasing number of artists from Parry Sound and surrounding areas. Finally, we welcome back again this year Nancy Meier who continues with her global outreach in Uganda and we thank Cam Richardson for helping us bring back the L’Arche craft studio as well. Feast your eyes and we hope to see you at the show!! Some of the artwork you will see may be a print or giclée.

The participants of the study consisted 130 preparatory class students, 82 of which were female and 48 of which were male. This research was conducted in two phases. In the first phase, the multi-platform game was prepared to form an interactive learning environment. After that, participants started to play console games which were not in their mother tongue. At the end of this process, participants were asked their opinion about the benefits of playing console games to their language learning process. The results showed that participants found consoles beneficial for learning a foreign language. They also stated that learning vocabulary of a foreign language was the most probable benefit of console games, and it was followed by written and oral comprehension. KEYWORDS: Foreign language, Playstation, videos games, language INTRODUCTION target group with games designed with a restricted visual Information technologies have progressed since the and graphics infrastructure, today‟s game consoles resemble appearance of the first computers in the middle of 20th to super computers in that they have an increasingly century at a pace which has not been observed in any other complex architecture which offers developed graphics-based sector.

  • Élisée MAURER Game Developer, Software Architect, Team Builder Strasbourg, France — [email protected]​​ — ​Linkedin.Com/In/Eliseem
    Élisée MAURER Game developer, software architect, team builder Strasbourg, France — ​[email protected]​ — ​linkedin.com/in/eliseem Objectives I ship high-quality creative products, be it games or applications. I value life-long learning and teamwork through mentoring and being mentored. My work has a positive impact in the world and brings people joy and connectedness. Education Fascinated by the magic of computers, I started making games at the age of 8. I ​taught myself game programming​ and software development over the course of many years building prototypes and shipping software. Throughout middle and high school, I learned various languages (BASIC, Pascal, C, C++, HTML/CSS/JS, PHP, Assembly, Python, Lua, Java, C#...), ​experimenting with technologies (low-level graphics programming, networking, physics engines, UI toolkits, multimedia libraries, scripting...) around games and apps on both Windows and Linux. I built and ran a programming forum for French speakers called ProgBoards (~2002) and created an online gold rush sim game named TreaSeek (~2004) with a few hundred regular players. On top of ​many game prototypes of all sorts​, I ​wrote a few apps​: peer-to-peer file sharing program, XMPP messaging client, email client, and so on.
