This document discusses a 2D platformer video game called "Space Quest: The Game" created to educate the public about space exploration and its challenges. The game takes players on a journey from the International Space Station to other celestial bodies in the solar system. It uses NASA data and aims to raise awareness about space debris while teaching players about the history of the solar system in an engaging way. Future plans include expanding the game with upgrades, more educational content, and potentially transforming it into a 3D experience.
Save the Honey é um divertido jogo casual para toda a família. Um grupo de insetos maus invadiu a colmeia e roubou todo o mel que as abelhas produziram. Agora precisamos ajudar as abelhas a recuperar o mel e salvar a colmeia.
Utilizando de controles por acelerômetro, vamos controlar a abelha e recolher todo o mel, desviando de obstáculos fi xos e objetos que caem.
A medida que avançamos no jogo, torna-se possível tocar na tela para atirar mel, derrubando os insetos maus e outros objetos que interditam o caminho.
A cada tiro sua contagem de mel recolhido diminui, aumentando o desafi o do jogo. Ao recolher uma quantia máxima de mel o jogador ganha o direito de jogar um nível bônus, onde poderá entrar na colmeia e evitar que outros insetos continuem invadindo.
São 20 níveis com di ficuldade gradativa e novos obstáculos, divididos em 2 diferentes cenários: campo e cidade.

Ux Week the Future of UX is Play: The 4 Keys to Fun, Emotion, and User Engage...Nicole Lazzaro
UXWeek 2010
Nicole Lazzaro, XEODesign, Inc.
Visit the average workplace and if it were a zoo the humane society would protest! The environment and organizational principals fail to provide the basic mental furniture for workers to focus attention, motivate, collaborate, and to accomplish. No wonder so many struggle with getting things done. Likewise most user experiences fail by ignoring the same simple fact. Human's require emotions to decide.
Often ignored by usability, neuroscience now proves that emotion deeply connects decision making and performance. Emotions also coordinate the actions between people. The trick is that emotions and social experiences are emergent qualities that cannot be designed directly. Nicole brings this challenge to life in her workshop.
In this interactive XEOPlayShop we will cover how the choices in games craft player emotions to increase engagement. In addition to competition there are game mechanics that increase curiosity and others that create social bonding that makes team work possible. We will examine these 4 Keys to Fun plus new social mechanics from XEODesign’s research to see how successful social media and iPhone games offer more playful interfaces that increase engagement, loyalty, and viral distribution.
By adding these kinds of choices designers can drive user behavior to create more engaging experiences.
Chasing Wonder and the Future of EngagementNicole Lazzaro
Wonder, one of the strongest emotions of game design, rivets player attention and unleashes powerful neurochemicals that facilitate learning. At the heart of every intellectual pursuit, at the root of nearly all engagement, wonder keeps players coming back. Wonder does not show up in A/B testing. Come learn the secret mechanics that make smartphone games like ANGRY BIRDS, DOODLE JUMP, and FRUIT NINJA best sellers. Be the first to create your own GAME plan for creating engagement by connecting Goals, Actions, Motivations, and Emotions. Games are more than points and badges. Emotions drive fun.
The Four Keys to Fun: Designing Emotional Engagement and Viral Distribution without Spamming Your Friends
Nicole Lazzaro, XEODesign
Often ignored by usability, neuroscience now proves that emotion deeply connects decision making and performance. Emotions also coordinate the actions between people. Therefore the next design challenge for desktop and cloud applications is not making a UI "easy," but rather making it more emotional and social. The trick is that emotions and social experiences cannot be designed directly.
This presentation covers how the choices in games craft player emotions to increase engagement. In addition to competition there are game mechanics that increase curiosity and others that create social bonding that makes team work possible. We will examine these 4 Keys to Fun plus new social mechanics from XEODesign's research to see how successful social media and iPhone games offer more playful interfaces that increase engagement, loyalty, and viral distribution. By adding these kinds of choices designers can drive user behavior to create more engaging experiences.
From XEODesign's latest player research we will look at:
• How games create emotion and self-motivation
• What mechanics and emotions drive social engagement, networking, and increase social bonding
• How player choices create emotions such as Schadenfreude, Fiero, Curiosity, and Love
• The emotions and mechanics that drive viral distribution.
Comparing examples from social media such as Twitter and Facebook to games on the web, console, and iPhone we draw out the secrets of social play and the emotions that makes something viral. Come hear the latest research results on emotions and games played on iPhones and social networks and what that means for more serious applications.
The 4 Most Important Emotions for Social Games, Nicole Lazzaro 100311Nicole Lazzaro
Social Emotions are responsible for Farmville's success and drive all of Web 2.0.
Games on emerging social platforms such as Facebook and the iPhone leverage the emotions between friends to drive viral distribution and build new player experiences. Using examples from PlayFish, Zynga’s Mafia Wars, Playdom, Nexon, and others. We'll distill their social critical success factors. We'd also cover how to apply lessons learned from these games to add social features to existing genres, and what emotions games should target to take advantage of this new era of gaming.
We will examine the 4 most important emotions for social games including new social mechanics from XEODesign's research such as Tilt our experimental iPhone game to see what kinds of choices successful social media and iPhone games offer to inspire playful interfaces that increase engagement, loyalty, and viral distribution. By adding these kinds of choices designers can drive user behavior to create more engaging experiences.
From XEODesign's latest player research we will look at:
How games create the 4 most important emotions in social games
What mechanics and emotions drive social engagement, networking, and increase social bonding
How player choices create social emotions such as Schadenfreude and Naches
The emotions and mechanics that drive viral distribution.

Empathy Games - playing for a better world by Felipe Barcellos (@elvexkidd)Felipe Barcellos
Empathy Games probably won't save the world but it can surely gives us a hand in the right direction on how we can reach realities and contexts that are alien to us, enhancing our empathy. This can lead us to a better understanding of the different realities we can experience as humans.

The first computer games go back to the 50s when a nought and crosses game was created using an EDSAC computer. An effort at MIT ten years later led to a the multiplayer Spacewar game developed in a PDP-1. Even though these games were primitive, a game industry was born with the first games available in special locations – arcades. Today’s games are produced with modest Hollywood budgets and some are selling more than box-office hits.
Games are powerful. People can spend a lot of time playing games. Games are also great motivators. People do things that don´t even like, if they feel like they are playing game. Gamififcation is the use of game mechanics to motivate people to do stuff they generally would not do.

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

We all have good and bad thoughts from time to time and situation to situation. We are bombarded daily with spiraling thoughts(both negative and positive) creating all-consuming feel , making us difficult to manage with associated suffering. Good thoughts are like our Mob Signal (Positive thought) amidst noise(negative thought) in the atmosphere. Negative thoughts like noise outweigh positive thoughts. These thoughts often create unwanted confusion, trouble, stress and frustration in our mind as well as chaos in our physical world. Negative thoughts are also known as “distorted thinking”.
2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.
