blue-game-math-dropsum(s)

Enjoyed by over 7.5 million PC users worldwide, Dropsum will stretch your mental agility and give your brain a good work out. In DropSum you release numbered balls into a grid. The aim is to make a line of these balls add up to 9, either horizontally or vertically. When your column or row totals nine, you score points and all the balls involved change color. They start out grey and advance to blue, yellow and then red. Once a red ball has been used to make a sum of nine it will explode and allow any balls above it to fill the gap. The falling numbers then have the potential to form scoring combinations with their new neighbours, which may burst other balls, and so the chain reaction progresses. Setting up large combos like this is the way to score serious points. The game ends when the whole grid is filled.

Destroy special octagon tiles and you'll release a special star. These stars are gathered up after a short while. The more stars gathered, the higher the bonus you'll receive.

youtube

DropSum becomes very addictive and will improve your basic maths skills the more you play it.

It's great for both kids and adults and will help speed up your mental maths agility.

blue-game-math-quote(s)

How do you use maths in programming, and more specifically just game programming?

Math is an integral part of programming and you cannot write applicable code without understanding basic maths. More-so in games programming which often requires tens of thousands of states to be stored, modified and acted upon during the real-time execution of the game. A good starting point to understand the game maths is to study algebra, and specifically the idea that you can store values in variables represented as letters, and produce complex equations and produce different outcomes based on the data you input. You will find the very first computer programs you write will almost certainly follow these lines. Also, as we move increasingly to a 3D centric approach to games, an understanding of basic trigonometry and three dimensional functions would be invaluable. Leave school with a good grasp of these, and you are half way towards working on the next generation of games.

the thinking requires high motivation and persistence, taking place over a considerable time span (continuously or intermittently) or at high intensity.
the problem as initially posed was vague and ill-defined, so that part of the task was to reformulate the problem itself.

culturalization -- in the context of information technology

_ .. / research / question(s) / artist(s) / _ / .

... culturalization within the broader context of information technology (IT) can also be read as a moment of anticipation, a tactical sidetrack in response to the long-term decline of the engineering class in the West. The hegemonic role of computer scientists as inventors can easily been understood, but wasn't going to last forever. Different fields of knowledge, from human computer interaction to usability and new media studies, have ll in their own ways proclaimed the coming of the cultural turn.

In addition to taking role model of the media artist as a reference in educating our students, exhibitions in digital art, that is art that uses digital technology in an essential way, can be taken as example playgrounds, exploring the relation(s) between space, digital technologies and human perception and emotion. Such experiments may indicate new ways to deploy technology and provide a reference of how technology may influence human experience, and provide the intellectual and cultural background against which student projects and experiments can be set.
