2. Compress Your File- DELETE ONCE COMPLETE
1. Click on any picture in your file and then a FORMAT tab should appear at the top
of the screen (or somewhere depending upon your version).
2. Click on the COMPRESS PICTURE button. This may have text saying that or it may
just look like a square with 4 arrows pointing in to it.
3. Next ensure “Only apply to this picture” is unticked and “delete cropped areas” is
ticked.
4. Next choose “email resolution”
5. Hit ok and save
See below (it will be slightly different on a mac)
3. Case Study- DELETE ONCE COMPLETE
• Call your work; 1. Case Study
• You must choose a game that was released within the last 5 years and
critically discuss:
1. List terminology from the lecture and reference how each has been used
2. Discuss the game’s use of audio
• Music, Sound effects, Dialogue, Tone/Mood created etc
3. How the game is representative of the wider genre of that style of games
(does it share characteristics of the genre? Does it develop the gameplay of
the genre?)
4. Graphics comparison to similar games/ games from the same franchise/
games released at a similar time
5. Game engines used/console capabilities/ graphics cards needed for the
game
6. Annotate screenshots and box art
• You must include a paragraph on video game addiction and quote and
reference an article discussing this subject.
4. Case study
• Terminology for Mario kart odyssey:
• The interactive Map contains every Power Moon location, Painting location, and Check Point location, all
on convenient maps
• Levels have at least 20 Power Moons (and most have many more). We document every Power Moon
location in the Power Moon Locations section, with screenshots and a description of how to collect each.
Power Moons are used to unlock new areas in Super Mario Odyssey.
• There are at least 50 Purple Coins in every world that can be used to purchase new Costumes for Mario.
We list every Purple Coin location in the Purple Coin Locations guide. Purple coins aren't always round --
they change shape in each Kingdom. But they are alway purple!
• The Walkthrough contains every boss fight, puzzle, and platform and how to conquer them. We'll also tell
you about the Power Moons and Purple Coins you can pick up along the way.
• This section contains a list of every Kingdom you can unlock in Super Mario Odyssey. There are more than
you think...
• Sand Kingdom
• Lake Kingdom
• Wooded Kingdom
• List of all Kingdoms
5. Discuss the audio
• Music-similar to a cartoon show, bit like family
guy.
• Tone-Up beat, musical, lots of instruments.
• Dialogue-The diaglogue is very basic, more like
words such as “mamma mia” stereotypical to
Italian people. (Mario)
• Mood-It is a light hearted film similar to its
previous games targeted at children.
6. Comparing graphics
Doodle Jump- the aim is to guide a four-legged animal called "The Doodler" up a never-ending
series of platforms without falling. The left side of the playing field is connected the right side. For
devices with an accelerometer, players tilt the device from side to side to move the Doodler in
the desired direction. Players can get a short boost from various objects, such as propeller hats,
jetpacks, rockets, springs, trampolines and invulnerability shields (some levels only). There are
also monsters and UFOs that the Doodler must avoid, shoot, or jump on to eliminate. Aiming is
performed by tapping on different parts of the screen, on the Android and Windows Phone
versions of the game there is also an automatic aim mode. Depending on the game mode being
played, projectiles may fly in a straight line off the screen or be affected by gravity and fall
downwards. There is no definitive end to the game, but the end for each gameplay session
happens when the player falls to the bottom of the screen, jumps into a monster, gets sucked into
a black hole, or is abducted by a UFO.
Whereas
Super Mario Oddsey- Super Mario Odyssey is a platform game in which players control the titular
protagonist, Mario, as he travels across many worlds on the Odyssey, his hat-shaped ship, in an effort to
rescue Princess Peach from Bowser, who plans to marry her. The game sees Mario traveling to various
worlds known as "Kingdoms", which return to the free-roaming exploration-based level design featured
in Super Mario 64 and Super Mario Sunshine, with each featuring unique designs ranging from photo-
realistic cities to more fantasy-based worlds.

8. Gaming addiction is to be listed as a mental health condition for the first time by the World
Health Organisation.
Its 11th International Classification of Diseases (ICD) will include the condition "gaming
disorder".
The draft document describes it as a pattern of persistent or recurrent gaming behaviour so
severe that it takes "precedence over other life interests".
Some countries had already identified it as a major public health issue.
Many, including the UK, have private addiction clinics to "treat" the condition.
The last version of the ICD was completed in 1992, with the new guide due to be published in
2018.
The guide contains codes for diseases, signs and symptoms and is used by doctors and
researchers to track and diagnose disease.
It will suggest that abnormal gaming behaviour should be in evidence over a period of at least
12 months "for a diagnosis to be assigned" but added that period might be shortened "if
symptoms are severe".
Symptoms include:
impaired control over gaming (frequency, intensity, duration)
increased priority given to gaming
continuation or escalation of gaming despite negative consequences
