Some Theory for Game Class
The document discusses concepts from French theorist Michel de Certeau, specifically his idea that places exist because people practice them into being through their use of space. De Certeau believes that walking through an area actualizes its possibilities and invents new ones, transforming the space. Similarly, stories and legends give places meaning and make them "habitable," but the removal of these narratives leaves places feeling empty and devoid of significance. De Certeau argues that places require human use and practice to have existence and meaning.

The class is assigned a design task of picking a movie poster, taking a photo of their face, and compositing themselves into the poster. They are given examples and instructions on how to complete the task digitally. Students are also assigned reading for the next class and the first design task is due.
Visual Rhetoric 1
This document provides an overview of an upcoming class that will include introductions where students share two truths and a lie about themselves, a discussion of visual rhetoric, and an introduction to the technology and software that will be used in the class. The class will also include reading assignments and an introductory design task in Photoshop where students will bring and work with a photo of their own face.
224 summerfinal
The final exam will test students' understanding of key concepts covered throughout the course. These include defining rhetoric and digital rhetoric, conducting rhetorical analyses, understanding aura, assemblage, Kairos, semiotics, principles of new media like the five principles and Helvetica as the juggerfont. Students should review their notes on the readings and activities with a focus on rhetorical terminology like ethos, pathos, logos, style, audience, purpose, context, metaphor, story, delivery, and culture. The instructor emphasizes that the goal is to assess comprehension rather than trick students, and that reviewing the materials provided should sufficiently prepare them.
Dr philleval211
The document contains questions from an instructor asking students to reflect on their online summer class experience, including their favorite and least favorite parts, whether they got enough interaction, if they liked major assignments due at the end rather than throughout, what they wish they covered more, how they would describe the class in gaming terms such as a game or quest, and what advice they would give to an adventurer going on a quest from the instructor.
211 finalreview
The document provides a review for a final exam in an IMS 211 course. It lists several topics students should focus on studying, including key concepts and theories from readings, examples used in assignments, and games played in class. Students are advised to thoroughly review the material posted by Dr. Phill online as well as questions of the day. The exam will likely include questions testing knowledge of readings, concepts learned through games, and cases requiring critical thinking. Tips are provided on focusing study time, using resources during the exam, avoiding overthinking questions, and being specific in essay answers.
Week 2
This document provides an overview of rhetorical analysis and key concepts related to analyzing any text. It discusses Aristotle's definition of rhetoric as observing means of persuasion. Rhetorical analysis involves reading and critiquing a text while understanding its context and persuasive techniques. Key aspects that should be analyzed include ethos, pathos, logos, kairos, style, audience, purpose, context, metaphor, story, delivery, and culture. Examples are provided of analyzing a movie poster to demonstrate these concepts. Basic principles of design such as contrast, repetition, alignment, and proximity are also explained. Readers are then asked to redesign a poorly designed event flyer using these analytical and design skills.
Brief Video Game History
The first video game was created in 1958 and was called Tennis for Two. In the 1970s, Atari created early arcade games like Computer Space and Pong, popularizing the video game industry. In the 1980s, Nintendo launched the NES console and games like Super Mario Bros, The Legend of Zelda, and Metroid, starting the console wars between Nintendo, Sega, and others. World of Warcraft's success in 2004 demonstrated the popularity of online and PC gaming. The mobile gaming industry also grew significantly in the late 2000s with the rise of smartphones.
Dungeons & Dragons history
Dungeons & Dragons, conceived by Gary Gygax as an extension of his wargaming hobby to include fantasy elements, became one of the first role-playing games and an inspiration for many video games. Starting as a supplement for his wargames called Chainmail, Gygax added magical elements to engage players. With friend Dave Arneson, they expanded on this, forming the company Tactical Studies Rules to publish the seminal title Dungeons & Dragons in 1974. D&D went on to huge commercial success but also moral panics over its occult themes before being acquired by Wizards of the Coast and then Hasbro, who continue publishing new editions today.
Rhetoric of Advertising
Advertisements use visual rhetoric to convey messages and influence consumers. Imagery, color, layout, and other design elements all work together to appeal to audiences on an emotional level and shape perceptions. How an ad presents itself visually impacts what impressions it makes and what actions it inspires in viewers.
Logos
The document discusses logos and their purpose from a rhetorical perspective. It emphasizes that logos must represent an organization or person completely and that decisions about logos must be precise and grounded rhetorically. It then lists 10 rules for effective logos, such as answering who, what and why, identifying rather than explaining, and designing for longevity and a variety of media. The document notes that personal logos can be challenging but that the key is understanding the occasion rhetorically and infusing unique personality elements. It stresses the importance of evoking feeling with a personal logo.
411 Personal Logo PowerPoint
This document contains notes from a class discussing logo design. It includes:
1) An assignment for students to email the instructor about their recent group project, describing what tasks each member completed, how well they worked as a group and individually, and how they managed their time.
2) A reminder that tags for another assignment are due on Thursday and should include a photo of the tag and where it was distributed.
3) A discussion of logo design principles, including the "10 logo rules" and considerations for personal logos like representing one's personality and audience.
4) An upcoming in-class activity where students will use Photoshop to mock up web pages based on sites they like.

LAND USE LAND COVER AND NDVI OF MIRZAPUR DISTRICT, UP
This Dissertation explores the particular circumstances of Mirzapur, a region located in the
core of India. Mirzapur, with its varied terrains and abundant biodiversity, offers an optimal
environment for investigating the changes in vegetation cover dynamics. Our study utilizes
advanced technologies such as GIS (Geographic Information Systems) and Remote sensing to
analyze the transformations that have taken place over the course of a decade.
The complex relationship between human activities and the environment has been the focus
of extensive research and worry. As the global community grapples with swift urbanization,
population expansion, and economic progress, the effects on natural ecosystems are becoming
more evident. A crucial element of this impact is the alteration of vegetation cover, which plays a
significant role in maintaining the ecological equilibrium of our planet.Land serves as the foundation for all human activities and provides the necessary materials for
these activities. As the most crucial natural resource, its utilization by humans results in different
'Land uses,' which are determined by both human activities and the physical characteristics of the
land.
The utilization of land is impacted by human needs and environmental factors. In countries
like India, rapid population growth and the emphasis on extensive resource exploitation can lead
to significant land degradation, adversely affecting the region's land cover.
Therefore, human intervention has significantly influenced land use patterns over many
centuries, evolving its structure over time and space. In the present era, these changes have
accelerated due to factors such as agriculture and urbanization. Information regarding land use and
cover is essential for various planning and management tasks related to the Earth's surface,
providing crucial environmental data for scientific, resource management, policy purposes, and
diverse human activities.
Accurate understanding of land use and cover is imperative for the development planning
of any area. Consequently, a wide range of professionals, including earth system scientists, land
and water managers, and urban planners, are interested in obtaining data on land use and cover
changes, conversion trends, and other related patterns. The spatial dimensions of land use and
cover support policymakers and scientists in making well-informed decisions, as alterations in
these patterns indicate shifts in economic and social conditions. Monitoring such changes with the
help of Advanced technologies like Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems is
crucial for coordinated efforts across different administrative levels. Advanced technologies like
Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems

Changes in vegetation cover refer to variations in the distribution, composition, and overall
structure of plant communities across different temporal and spatial scales. These changes can
occur natural.

How to Make a Field Mandatory in Odoo 17
In Odoo, making a field required can be done through both Python code and XML views. When you set the required attribute to True in Python code, it makes the field required across all views where it's used. Conversely, when you set the required attribute in XML views, it makes the field required only in the context of that particular view.

Analysis of Play, Feb 17th 2014
- 2. Today 1) 2) 3) 4) 5) Grades! Delicious grades! Play this week: at least 2 Facebook games Game studies and the disciplines From our readings Discussion(s): what do we like here? What is self-evident? Do we want more? 6) Homework
- 3. Grades You should either have a Tumblr grade now, or you will have later today (I got halfway through transferring from the “real” grade book to the Niihka one). If you don’t see grades for those entries later today, email me. Make sure you’re keeping up! I went soft these first few weeks.
- 4. Related to that I have passed around some handy-dandy 3x5 cards. I want you to take two. Write your name on each of them. On the back of one, write down one thing you’d love to discuss in the next three weeks of class. On the back of the other, write down the blog entry you’re most interested in hearing feedback about.
- 5. Pass them to me I’m going to use the topics as a guide for what we read the week-after-next. The other set of cards, I’m going to send back out to all of you. For this week, you will be expected to read the blog of the person whose card you get (so if you get yourself, let me know fast). You will then write a response to one of that person’s entries. This will replace your “something cool “for this week.
- 6. Play time… This week I want you to play a couple of Facebook games. You can pick which ones. As you play– at least a half hour each– think about why people would enjoy these games.
- 7. Game Studies As I mentioned last class, game studies is only very recently a “thing.” Most of the people– even now– who write work in game studies are actually scholars in another academic area. For example me: I’m a rhetorician, generally housed in either an English or writing department, college pending. Other common fields to see in game studies are the social sciences, philosophy, history, education, and obviously computer science and related tech fields.
- 8. Today: Psychology The readings you did today are not the deepest pieces of game studies psychology work, of course. What I wanted to give you was a readerfriendly cross-section that hits on at least a few key ideas that psychologists tend to examine from games. Let’s run through them.
- 9. Immersion…
- 12. Anonymity…
- 14. From Penny Arcade– who happen to be the sort of the people they mock.
- 17. He took that well.
- 18. Avatars…
- 20. Looks just like me.
- 21. For Wednesday… On Wednesday, I want to talk about your two group related projects and check in to make sure the writing is going okay for your first analysis. Once we do that, we will play a game in class and talk about another psychological concept.
