The framework is mostly written in Java, with a Python binding so that Python developers can access PowSyBl functionalities as well.
What you will learn during the webinar:
- For beginners: discover PowSyBl's functionalities through a quick general presentation and the notebook, without needing any expert coding skills;
- For advanced developers: master the skills to efficiently apply PowSyBl functionalities to your real-world scenarios.

real-world games will enable Macon residents to forge new, community-building relationships support from the John S. and James L. Knight Foundation, Area/Code Entertainment Area/Code Entertainment, which received $963,900 in Knight funding, developed the game, Macon Money, which will use real rewards to bring together diverse Macon residents. The game is part of Knight’s continuing efforts to support revitalizing Macon and creating a vibrant college town. Launched this past fall, offer real rewards in a local “currency” that can be spent at participating College Hill and downtown businesses, including cafes and retail stores. To earn the currency, players must cash in “bonds” that have been distributed to residents of Macon. The catch is that each player gets just half a bond and to turn it in must find the person holding the other half. To find their match, players can use whatever means their imagination and ingenuity can invent – social media, online message boards, the Macon Money website – even face-to-face contact. “Cash” in hand, the players then decide how and where to spend their Macon Money.
There's more to game culture than playing games. Innovations within the game industry and the gamer community have sparked emergent forms of expression as well as an impressive amount of creative interaction and engagement that have allowed for games to cross over into filmmaking, social networks, music and education. From the release of tools to make user-created content such as custom avatars and maps, to the addition of filmmaking tools, a large opening has formed in digital media through which the gaming community is showing that they are not just passive consumers, but engaged media makers.

Gamers are not afraid to fail, repeatedly. In games, failure is what leads to innovation and learning. It also leads eventually to success and fiero. We are often afraid to let people fail. It lowers retention rates, which lowers our funding, but it also leads to grade inflation and degradation of our degrees. It ’s a slippery slope and we may be denying students the opportunity to feel real satisfaction. http://wowlearning.org/2011/09/16/persist-or-die/
