AI takes on Pac-Man - well in fact it plays both sides! An annual competition challenges participants to write Java programs to control Pac-Man or the ghosts! Pac-Man might not seem like a problem that is in the same league as, say, chess. In fact you might not even see it as a two player game but it is and always has been Pac-Man versus the Ghosts.

4 Cylinder Lego Engine, With 4 Valves
The inline-four engine or straight-four engine is an internal combustion engine with all four cylinders mounted in a straight line, or plane along the crankcase . The single bank of cylinders may be oriented in either a vertical or an inclined plane with all the piston s driving a common crankshaft . Where it is inclined, it is sometimes called a slant-four . In a specification chart or when an abbreviation is used, an inline-four engine is listed either as I4 or L4 (for ''longitudinal'', to avoid confusion between the digit 1 and the letter I).
10 Great Engineering Projects Using Lego | Prosig Noise & Vibration Measurement Blog
Since it’s Christmas Eve Eve, here is a little lighthearted Christmas entertainment. Regular readers of this blog or those who follow our Facebook or Twitter feeds will know that some of us are big fans of well engineered Lego projects. So, since many of us will soon be waiting our turn with the children’s or grandchildren’s Christmas Lego, we have collected together eight of the best videos of Lego engineering projects that we could find.Open Source Game Clones
This site tries to gather open-source reimplementations of great old games in one place. Now it is very simple and if you think that some information is missing or have any suggestions - feel free to contact me by e-mail . Hence all these projects are open-source you can help them and make this world a better place. Or at least you can play something to appreciate the effort people put in them.

Zoom Le but est simple puisqu’il s’agit de montrer qu’il est possible de faire tourner un jeu 3D sans avoir besoin de plugin flash. Utilisant WebGL, l’API Canvas et les éléments HTML5 ainsi que les WebSockets, il s’agit avant tout d’une vitrine technologique de ce qu’il est possible de faire avec le nouveau langage.

Conway’s Game of Life in JavaScript | Webmonkey | Wired.com
The concept, created in 1970 by the mathematician John Conway, relies on very simple rules applied to cells on a board. The cells are either “on/alive” or “off/dead,” and their behavior is determined by the states of their neighbors. There are rules — the human draws a pattern of cells on the board, then begins the game. The rules play out automatically and the game progresses without any further human interaction.Conway's Game of Life - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Game of Life , also known simply as Life , is a cellular automaton devised by the British mathematician John Horton Conway in 1970. [ 1 ] The "game" is a zero-player game , meaning that its evolution is determined by its initial state, requiring no further input. One interacts with the Game of Life by creating an initial configuration and observing how it evolves. The universe of the Game of Life is an infinite two-dimensional orthogonal grid of square cells , each of which is in one of two possible states, alive or dead . Every cell interacts with its eight neighbours , which are the cells that are horizontally, vertically, or diagonally adjacent. At each step in time, the following transitions occur:
We know it sounds weird, at first: Playing games to do work. But traditional thinking is just plain wrong. Research shows that human beings have been hard-wired to express themselves and interact with each other, through play.
Innovation Games
I've been too serious for my own good lately and thought that writing playful helloworldish apps for a while will cheer me up. It always has. It is also a good technique to learn stuff and recharge at the same time. Google released Channel API recently and I wanted to play with it. When you drag the ball, the app uses the channel api to move it on everyone's screen.

HTML5 is an very intriguing technology that has so many capabilities, but at this point we are merely seeing the surface of its possibilities. HTML5 is still in its infancy, but developers are starting to experiment with what it can do, which has created some pretty interesting results. Here are some fun and interesting interactive video-type games, which were made with HTML5. Check them out and see what capabilities HTML5 have, and have some fun playing the games as well! Enjoy! An updated version of the classic Asteroids arcade game from 1979.

After-JavaOne project | Java.net
Posted by kohsuke on June 9, 2009 at 12:34 AM CDT JavaOne is always such a big week for me (and many of us) that I need a bit of time to unwind before I go back to my regular routine. So this year, I took on a little hobby project.The easiest way to understand the objective is to press the 'solution' button on the board above: it will show a valid solution of the puzzle (there can be many such solutions) I developped this game's version as a way to write again Javascript code (which I hadn't done for the best of 2 years). The logic of the game is very simple, and the implementation even simpler. The original implementation fitted in 200 lines, extended to around 600 after proper comments were included, and some funcionality -show the domino pieces already allocated- added.

Forfeit game - coding contest since 50 years | united-coders.com
The game of forfeits is a simple game and one of the classic programming examples since 50 years. I found it in a ALGOL 60 exercise book from 1963: Count the numbers up to 100, but skip all numbers if one of the condition matches: Develop a function which calculates all numbers based on the given conditions. The only one parameter for the function is the range and the function should return the Array of all valid numbers. Hint: You must not cheat while returning a sliced constant result array. The result of the function with max=100 is: [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 15, 18, 19, 20, 22, 23, 24, 26, 29, 30, 31, 32, 33, 36, 38, 39, 40, 41, 44, 45, 46, 48, 50, 51, 53, 54, 55, 58, 60, 62, 64, 65, 66, 69, 80, 81, 82, 83, 85, 88, 90, 92, 93, 94, 96, 99, 100].Brain
