Progress presentationjwl92

The progress presentation discusses the development of a 2D platformer game by a team including a project manager, 2D artist, 2D/3D artist, and two programmers. They decided on a 2D platformer instead of a 3D FPS to suit their artists. They chose the XNA engine after testing by the programmers. They created concept art for levels, characters, menus, and weapons, and implemented basic character animation, enemy movement, and the operating menu in the game.

Rapid Game Development with RUby and Gosu – Ruby Manor 4benko

This document introduces rapid game development using the Ruby programming language and the Gosu game library.

Story, Life Essences Intervention ProgramOmar Al Naqa

Dedicated to The First Flower After Winter I love you without knowing how, or when, or from where. I love you simply, without problems or pride: I love you in this way because I do not know any other way of loving but this, in which there is no I or you, so intimate that your hand upon my chest is my hand, so intimate that when I fall asleep your eyes close. Pablo Neruda STORY starts with gifts from the sky into your ability to love and how you choose to treat people. "Your beliefs don’t make you a better person, your behavior does." You are You story

BoSEU25 | Gareth Marlow | No One Knows What They’re Doing. Especially You. Le...Business of Software Conference

You’re not ready. You’ll never be ready. But that can’t stop you. Whether it’s Apollo 11 landing with a computer screaming errors, Leftfield literally blowing the speakers at Brixton Academy, or every founder winging it through a board meeting, real leadership is about making decisions with incomplete information, trusting your instincts, and learning on the fly. In this lightning talk, Gareth Marlow will show you why waiting until you feel “ready” is a trap, and how embracing uncertainty-with confidence-separates those who lead from those who hesitate.
