Coursera: Online Games Class Notes

This post servers as a outline of the new concepts that I have learned  in the  class hosted on Coursera,  " Online Games: Literature, New Media, and Narrative "   taught by  Jay Clayton.  I will try to avoid giving answers to quiz's or questions in order to give other classmates a fair chance. Syllabus MMO Examples:  Lord of the Rings  Mist  Star Wars Galaxies Dark age of Camelot World of War Craft  Terms Multi-modal Analysis:   Embedded narrative  : Main content to the game, "A pre-generated narrative content that exists prior to a player's interaction with the game." pg 383 Salen and Zimmerman. Emergent Narrative:   "arises from the set of rules governing interaction with the game system. Most moment-to-moment narrative play in a game emergent, as player choice leads to unpredictable narrative experience." - Salen and Zimmerman. Frame Narrative:  Frame story  (This term not defined in the class but was referenced.) Remediati

MS Certification and Learning Planner

Image
Introduction The point here to simply explain my idea that the MS "Certification Planner" combined with the MS's  MVA  "Learning Planner" would not only be beneficial but cater to multiple types of users such as myself.     MVA stands for Microsoft Virtual Academy and has recently add in the an option to make a planner for classes which is great for either long or short term goals. MVA Learning Planner If you have not yet received a certification now's the time as it is easier than ever to know what path you wish to go down and the titles you will receive. Never the less here an example of what the "Certification Planner" Looks like. MS Certification Planner But Why?       I for one plan to take multiple certifications that might not lead to a 'title'. For example I am a Web Developer and have the HTML5 Certification. I plan to take the C# certification as well since I do develop using MVC, but I do not care

UI-Bootstrap Collapsible Sticky Footer

    I could have done this a lot of ways and ultimately I made it work with javascript modifying the class names. I also had to create multiple class names which I didn't like to much, I might come back and improve this but for now this is was I got. Also I call bootstrap+angularjs = ui-bootstrap, not sure if that's common sense but thought I should include it somewhere in my notes. Working Example: http://plnkr.co/edit/2N9ENlbw3bSvg1W9n0ch?p=preview This little css was key to prevent any kind of animation on the collapse, which would result in a scrollbar appearing on the body. A scrollbar can appear when the content's too long but not on the sticky foot duh! .no-animate { transition-duration: 0.0125s; } Research Angular-UI Bootstrap Collapse without animation - Stack Overflow http://jsfiddle.net/paulalexandru/Z2Lu5/  - Was looking at this to see if I could reuse it but I ended but just doing my own thing. Another way which I've seen Using a sticky

Installing Windows on Acer chromebook 15 cb3-532

Much of my notes are just small problems I faced (what's new!) haha. Either way this was a really fun project to do for a friend and I got excited once I research all the information. You can find instruction videos but what helped me the most was the coolstar website. Sadly they don't have parameters in the url so I can link the machine I used in this article. -  https://coolstar.org/chromebook/windows-install.html Scared of messing with the bios? Don't be!    So you need to first remove the screw to put a legacy bios on the machine. Its easy to backup the chrome os one and with the same steps to change it. You can go back in and revert to the chrome version bios. Its that last part that had me worried and its very easy to do.  Problems getting into Developer Mode?   Follow the instructions to the letter, during the step to disable the OS verification, press Ctrl-D to boot into os. If you hear two beeps I would go back to set one. I got in a loop where it s
