So, this fall there r a few im looking at.
Come Out and Play: Designing and Playing Games Outside
You've been playing games since kindergarten (tag, capture the flag, hide and seek) and chances are good that you're still playing games as a college student (beer pong, poker, Final Fantasy, flip cup, "walk in a straight line on Saturday night")
We'll explore the newly emerging field of "game design" by designing and playing our own original games around the UC campus and investigate our relationship to the campus architecture itself - is a game of tag on Sproul Plaza different from a game of tag on Memorial Glade? (Hint: YES.)
Were you a student in Spring 2009?
- Did you ever see people running around like fools, conga-lining across Sproul, growling? That was us.
- Did students rampage through your discussion section on the 2nd floor of Dwinelle Hall to throw things off the balcony and distract the opposing team? That was us.
- Did you see people riding on sleds pulled by teams of toddlers in front of Tolman Hall?... Uhh that wasn't us. And quite frankly, that sounds a bit silly and cruel.
Combinatorial Puzzles and Games
This is a hands-on mathematics course emphasizing combinatorial methods for solving Sudoku, investigating a variety of other types of puzzles, and winning two-palyer games. This is an introductory course, so no knowledge of Sudoku or Sudoku-solving methods is required. In class, students will be given the resources to complete puzzles and play games, and will be given the chance to practice these methods with peers in class.
Pretty much, what's gonna go down is I provide you with the resources, you make it happen. Most learning will happen through discussion and hands-on activities. I'll just lead you in the right direction :)
We're going to have a kick ass time.
theres also a chess class taught by ranked ppl. 1 hour lecture, 1 hour play. sounds interestin, but not this sem for sure. But mayb sometime in the next 4 yrs.
