Curvy in HTML5 Curvy is a HTML5 puzzle game using the canvas element. Just rotate the tiles so that like colors connect. Modernizr tells me you don't have canvas support in your browser. Sadly, this game uses technology that's only in browsers with HTML5 support. Presented to you by FlamingLunchbox is a puzzle, originally for Android phones, using a simple idea. Each Curvy puzzle consists of a grid of hexagonal tiles. Curvy allows a variety of different puzzle sizes, providing puzzles that can be quickly solved as well as more complex versions depending on the size you choose. Want it on Android?

Otomata 16 Jul 2011 Click on the grid below to add cells, click on cells to change their direction, and press play to listen to your music. Update: Click here to get Otomata for your iPhone / iPod / iPad! Official facebook page: Also this reddit page has many examples: And there is a subreddit for Otomata: Otomata is a generative sequencer. Each alive cell has 4 states: Up, right, down, left. at each cycle, the cells move themselves in the direction of their internal states. This set of rules produces chaotic results in some settings, therefore you can end up with never repeating, gradually evolving sequences. If you encounter something you like, just press “Copy Piece Link” and save it somewhere, or better, share it! Here is something from me to start with: And here is an action video: Here are replies to some common questions: Q: MIDI Output?

The strength of this puzzle is that it can be easily carried out on computer or with easily made pieces. The challenge was originally set byJohn Harris and is one of the ones included in The Colossal Book of Short Puzzles and Problems by Martin Gardner. The challenge is to start with a cube that has one face marked. The resource records the high score in each session so if you wish to allow the class to attempt this on computer you can see what their best attempt has been. Challenges such as these encourage children to devise their own strategies and analyse the problem to reach a solution. To make the puzzle physically use or print a normal chess board and find a cube whose faces are close to the size of squares on the board. Go to Cube Tour interactive whiteboard resource.

Railway engines (Thomas and Friends) This article lists the standard gauge railway engine characters of the television series Thomas & Friends. These are the characters that run on The Fat Controller's railway. Thomas Thomas can be described as a cheeky, fussy little engine. Thomas's character can change from time to time, from cheeky like Percy to wise like Edward. Voice Actors Edward was the first character to appear in The Railway Series by the Rev. Edward is the oldest and wisest engine in the core fleet, and other engines often find themselves indebted to his knowledge and sharp skills. Henry is a 4-6-0 engine, one of the first engines to appear in The Railway Series books. Henry's character can be difficult to pinpoint. Gordon was the second engine to appear in The Railway Series. Gordon has always viewed himself as the most important engine, mostly because of his size and strength, and that his main task is to pull the Express. He is the youngest engine of the whole fleet. Emily Emily is a "Stirling Single" engine.

Creating a highly manageable TreeView control using Microsoft Web TreeView control - The Code Project - ASP.NET Introduction We all know the power of Microsoft Management Console (MMC). MMC is Microsoft’s standard platform for administrative and system management tools. MMC lets you use snap-ins to manage every part of Windows and even other applications from the same standard interface. Requirements The code has been written using Microsoft Web TreeView control, therefore the scripts to be run to render the tree should be in their proper place. Using the code Now, assume that we want to represent a simple organizational hierarchy. Implementing the IProvider interface: create object specific provider classes (e.g. Once the loading is complete we then need the proper entity ID at each selection change, using which we will load the entity information at the right side of the tree. private void treeView_SelectedIndexChange(object sender, Microsoft.Web.UI.WebControls.TreeViewSelectEventArgs e) { _NodeID = e.NewNode; LoadPage( _NodeID ); } About the framework public void LoadTree( string ServerPath );

The Nice programming language Bam! Boom! Onomatopoeia! Onomatopoeia is not a word you use everyday, yet hardly a day goes by that we don't use several onomatopoeic words and phrases in daily conversation. Onomatopoeia refers to words that imitate the sound they represent such as "kerplunk" or "boing" in English or "doki doki" in Japanese. We might not hear onomatopoeic words used in formal written speeches so often, but we certainly hear them used in everyday conversation. I knew of Emeril's "Bam!" There is really nothing educational about this post of mine today. LinkOnomatopoetic English-Japanese Dictionary

Novell Defends SUSE Against MS-Sponsored Study Hewlett-Packard will apparently need close to two months to start fulfilling backorders for the (temporarily) revived TouchPad tablet. "It will take 6-8 weeks to build enough HP TouchPads to meet our current commitments, during which time your order will then ship from this stock with free ground shipping," read an email sent to customers and reprinted in a Sept. 7 posting on the Precentral.net blog. "You will receive a shipping notification with a tracking number once your order has shipped."That would place the new TouchPads in consumers' hands sometime in either late October or early November. The reduced-price devices are not returnable, according to the email. Nicholas Kolakowski is a staff editor at eWEEK, covering Microsoft and other companies in the enterprise space, as well as evolving technology such as tablet PCs.

User:Piecraft/Dieselpunk Description[edit] A manipulation on an alternate version of a future 1950s from the developed technology and society of the 1930's, where the Great Depression never arrived and World War II is still being fought as a prolonged Cold War. In turn, Japan continues its progress towards technological modernization, developing the earliest computers and terminals. Nazi scientists continue experimenting by taking the route of biotechnology, sparking off a genetic revolution of bio-mods, clones, and organ harvesting. Whilst the Americans and British take both of these technologies to develop mind-control devices, spawning man-machine interfaces and sparking the atomic-powered machine age. Themes that usually surface in the genre relate to: The Red Scare - fear of intrusion sparking mass hysteria.Space Race - conquest of Outer Space. see also: Diesel cycle Dieselpunk post-apocalypse[edit] Art & Culture[edit] Examples: the cinema of Fritz Lang, F.W.

computer parts, computer hardware, laptop computers, desktop computers - Geeks clever algorithms Welcome to Clever Algorithms! This is a handbook of recipes for computational problem solving techniques from the fields of Computational Intelligence, Biologically Inspired Computation, and Metaheuristics. Clever Algorithms are interesting, practical, and fun to learn about and implement. This introductory chapter provides relevant background information on Artificial Intelligence and Algorithms. What is AI Artificial Intelligence The field of classical Artificial Intelligence (AI) coalesced in the 1950s drawing on an understanding of the brain from neuroscience, the new mathematics of information theory, control theory referred to as cybernetics, and the dawn of the digital computer. Russell and Norvig provide a perspective that defines Artificial Intelligence in four categories: 1) systems that think like humans, 2) systems that act like humans, 3) systems that think rationally, 4) systems that act rationally [Russell2009].

JavaScript Implementation of AES Advanced Encryption Standard in Counter Mode AES is a ‘symmetric block cipher’ for encrypting texts which can be decrypted with the original encryption key. For many purposes, a simpler encryption algorithm such as TEA is perfectly adequate – but if you suspect the world’s best cryptographic minds, and a few million dollars of computing resource, might be attempting to crack your security, then AES, based on the Rijndael algorithm, is the tightest security currently available (approved by the US government for classified information up to ‘Secret’ – and in in 192 or 256 key lengths, up to ‘Top Secret’). AES was adopted by NIST in 2001 as FIPS-197, and is the replacement for DES which was withdrawn in 2005. I developed this JavaScript implementation to to illustrate the original AES standard (NIST FIPS-197) as closely as possible. Much of the Rijndael algorithm is based on arithmetic on a finite field, or Galois field (after the mathematician). (In counter mode, a text could decrypt correctly even if the cipher routine was flawed).
