Free love is more than just a game for two software for mac

Breakout Game Tutorial is basicaly a simple tutorial I made, complete with source code for Xcode 2.2, Eclipse 3.1 and executables.

Completly freeware for non-commercial use.

Break Out Game 1.0 is really an interesting and beneficial program which keeps the ball up using the paddle, and clear the whole field of bricks.

Scott's Music Game 1.0 is designed to be an interesting and attractive 80's music trivia game which includes sounds!

The Restaurant Game is a research project at the MIT Media Lab that will algorithmically combine the gameplay experiences of thousands of players to create a new game.

In a few months, we will apply machine learning algorithms to data collected through the multiplayer Restaurant Game, and produce a new single-player game that we will enter into the 2008 Independent Games Festival.

The Restaurant Game is a greta oportunity because every player will be credited as a Game Designer. Its never been easier to earn Game Designer credentials!

All contributions are not equal, however. Designers will be ranked based on how well they play their assigned roles, and accomplish their objectives. There will be only one Lead Designer.
Remaining credits will be divided into Game Designers and Assistant Game Designers, and within each category individuals will be ranked according to the quality of their performance(s).

Quality will be determined computationally, based on a number of factors.

The Restaurant Game takes about 10 minutes to play. It is a two-player game that will automatically find partners for players once you join a server. You are welcome encouraged to play multiple times.

In order for this project to be at all successful, we will need to collect a lot of data -- data from over 1,000 10,000 gameplay sessions. Play early, play often, and please spread the word!

This project attempts to address two frustrations I experienced as a professional game developer.
1) Convincing human social behavior is difficult to model with existing hand crafted AI systems.
2) Play testing by people outside of the development team typically comes too late to have a major impact on the final product.

This experiment aims to generate AI behaviors that conform to the way players actually choose to interact with other characters and the environment; behaviors that are convincingly human because they capture the nuances of real human behavior and language.

Has the same goal as video poker (make the best possible hand of five cards, given two opportunities to hold some cards and redeal the others), with a challenging mathematical enhancement: the cards have arithmetic suits, and these suits determine the value of the hand.

Since order is important, Poker Game mini allows the player to rearrange the cards in a hand, which can vastly improve (or utterly destroy) the hand’s value. For instance, reordering cards in the hand with the largest possible value (223,080) gives a hand with value 13.

Poker Game mini’s “Hard Mode” locks held cards in place after a redeal, limiting the player’s ability to take advantage of (or minimize the damage from) new cards coming to the hand.

Factors Game 1.5 has come as an attractive game which is played on middle school chalkboards. From a list of consecutive integers the student may pick any integer that still has factors "in play." The student gets that value added to his/her score, and the computer is awarded the value of all the factors of the chosen number that are still "in play."

The numbers selected are removed from play and the student chooses another number. Play continues until the student has no more legal moves. The computer then gets the value of all remaining numbers. The program is a good introduction to factors and primes.
