Safe Passage "All shoppers are getting smarter" The Mechanics of Ghosts

Selections from the Christmas 1987 edition of The Computer Chronicles , compiled by Youtube Channel XmasFLIX (full versions have found refuge on the Internet Archive )

interesting times, some years after the great battle of the micro-computer, which left lots of marks on carpets and lots of consumers duped by promises untenable. Here we had these large territories, and Mac "compatible PC 'with to limit the archipelagos Amiga and Atari. They began to have laptops ... phones. We're talking about software (haha!), Interactive database on the Bible ...

And above all, there is the bearded gentleman, wearing the hat of Father Christmas, which has only products related to Scan hand scanners, including one connected to a mini-palette graphics with genlock integrated (Amiga), or video presentation software. All things that I find very amusing, while Tron Legacy will soon point the tip of his nose in 98% of cinemas in the world (but not with us, where it took two more months).

"All shoppers are getting smarter" is a quote from issuing Christmas 1983, which is less pointed, inevitably, the latter topic. But the software "Hanukkah" seems to prefigure some very portable apps "useless" today. Oh, and careful, it is not the same bearded gentleman who has the hat of Father Christmas, this time around.

Small colo ...

almost a year ago that this board is complete, here is the colo ... is important to feed the blog: o)

Red Hair With Blonde Chunks

The burst of shots Colas Duflo about the game, immortalized by Arte unanimously and now subtitled " they have heads morons ", is now well known. The Latest Blogs (Jean-Noel Lafargue), as Psy and Geek (Yann Leroux) have already documented their analysis of this slippage in a way the most interesting. For my part, and despite the response of C. Duflo to unintended controversy, I still think it is a somewhat narrow vision of the subject, of a size a bit disappointing from a person acting as bombastic philosopher. I accept the context of open discussion of the issue of Arte, but this does not explain everything (I also agree Jean-No Lafargue: the argument / post excuse "my generation did not grow up with screens" seems amusing in its generalization, simply because I feel, too, about the vintage of Duflo, and yet the screen is very far from my window seem to be a strange and foreign).

In fact, the conclusion of the "remix" parody that this sequence did not fail to inspire me seems very fair: with blinders on, so erudite they are does, it can be told any images.

But all this across the Net, is already becoming ancient history. However, the projection on the finiteness of the game, compared the "wealth playful" failures, coming back to me instantly in mind to explore this fascinating article on "Mechanics of ghosts" in the game Pac-antediluvian Man

Game Internals - Understanding Pac-Man Ghost Behavior
( Google cache, the server seems very much in demand)

Wherein is discovered the springs-simple strategies planned for each of the four ghosts that haunt the labyrinth in search of poor swallower Pac-Man. And considering the resources at the time, were in many respects brilliant choices.

The obvious analogies with chess (boxes, forced displacements, etc..) Are obviously about as meaningless as to build on the number of possible combinations ( it's going over 10 ⁸⁴ ! ) to judge the "wealth playful." However the gap between the simplicity of the hidden rules and the proposed dynamic challenge to the player continues to amaze me.

42nd Street

As if on purpose, while I feast of images and impressions of New York JR ( Mnémoglyphes ), The New York Times celebrates the rebirth of Times Square by section, and especially by a panorama comparing the 42nd Street of 1989 with that of today.

And I really enjoy it.
