...Yarbrough David Young Tyler Zimmer Littlefield Technologies Game Strategy- Group 28 I. PROJECT MANAGEMENT: We can apply multiple project management concepts to planning the project, scheduling the project, and controlling the project. First, the project was planned and scheduled by setting a goal of completion. Considering the group’s total allotted time, our goal was to have the description of the game strategy completed 48 hours before the deadline, and to work collaboratively on the statistical spreadsheet 24 hours before the deadline. The game strategy was divided amongst team members (work break-down) within the group in a classroom setting. After defining the objective of the assignment, two team members worked together on question 2, and two team members worked separately on questions 1, 3, and 4. The fifth question in the game strategy was d givided between all five team members, and solutions were collected in one spreadsheet using Google Docs. Second, during Phase 2 of the Littlefield Technologies game, each team member will rotate equal turns monitoring and controlling the processing system every 3 to 4 hours every day during the 4-day phase. Revisions made to the system will be decided as a group, and implementation will be communicated through e-mail. Considering previous experiences in group projects, communication is imperative in the successful completion of the Littlefield Technologies Game. Every group member must commit to taking initiative and being...

...Lotanna Eruchalu Michael Myller College Writing 1 22 April 2016 TECHNOLOGY IN FOOTBALL Football is a game that has been in existence officially since 1863. Back then, the fields were always in a terrible state, muddy with little or no grass. The players were probably dressed in the cheapest pieces of fabric. The only decent thing was the fact that the ball was always pumped right. Now imagine all the new, various forms of technology that has come about since 1863: computers, smart phones, smart watches, televisions, vehicles etc., it is only right that Football has a fair share of the technological advancements. From muddy fields to constantly trimming the grass before games, Astro Turf fields are the future. They don’t just save you the stress of refilling the worn out areas and constant mowing the grass, they enhance the performance of the players. Also suitable for any weather, the astro turf fields are made of plastic blades of grass that are filled with small, crumbly rubber like shavings with gives players a better grip. Another positive about this piece of technology is that it prevents unwarranted injuries that can come from unlevelled grounds or a field consisting of many holes. Moreover, technology has played a key role with the equipment used for the game. Firstly, the advancement of shin pads; they don’t just guard the shin anymore, they are now being mad with shock absorbers, reducing the impact of a tackle on that area. The shin is a very delicate part of...

...their opponent’s side, and to do this they’ll run forward holding the bar or pass it to someone else. There are some basic positons that you should know. The Quarterback: Commonly referred to as QB, you’ll find this is one of the most well-known positions on the team. They can also be called the field general. In football, the quarterback is like the leader. Receivers: they have to run down the field, catching the ball after the QB has thrown it. It all depends on where they’re placed, but they can be tight ends, referred to as LTE/RTE, or they can be a wide receiver (WR). Offensive Linemen: They’re meant to block people from getting to the running backs. They do the same for the QB. There are individual positions though, such as Tackles (LT/RT), Center, and Guards (LG/RG). When the Center, they’re in the middle of the line. He brings the ball up, hiking it to the QB. Guards will then flank the center, and outside of the guards is where you’ll find the Tackles. There will be two tackles and two guards for each...

...MOBA is a genre of games that are strictly PvP or player vs. player which has strategic and teamwork based elements. MOBAs usually take place in an enclosed map or arena where teams battle for supremacy over objectives using an array of characters. Now enough about what is a MOBA. Let's talk about League of Legends. Body First I will explain the core concepts of a standard game of League of Legends. First you queue into matchmaking and once a game is found a lobby is put together in which the players are split into two teams of five and put into Champion Select where, as described, players start to select "Champions". "Champions" are characters that you play in the game that have 4 active abilities and a passive ability as well as different play styles. There are 6 main play styles or roles which include Tank, Fighter, Assassin, Mage, Marksman, and Support. There are also 4 positions that a Champion can fall into such as top lane, middle lane, bottom lane which consists of two champions, and jungle. After each player has selected a Champion the players are then transported to a magical arena called Summoner's Rift. Summoner's Rift consists of three lanes and a jungle as I previously stated. Top lane is usually played by Fighter or Tanks, Mid Lane has Assassins or Mages, Bot lane is a duo lane that has a pair played by a Marksman and a Support, and Jungle can be played by different types of champions but depend on the type of abilities. Now for the game objectives and how to...

...An evolution of Vietnamese game industry Individual report on innovation Introduction The world has witnessed the significant growth of game industry over the last 10 years. There have been major changes in all aspects such as graphics, gameplay and along with it come a great number of big firms in this industry: Ubisoft, Square Enix, Crytek, and so on. On contrary to this rapid growth, there have been little or none game producers that come from Vietnam. This can only be explained by the fact that game piracy appears in every corners of Vietnam and that Vietnamese governments, as well as the societies, have a negative point of view in games. The situation made it nearly impossible for any game developers to set their feet in such field. However, a new and young company, Emobi Games, realized their opportunities and decided to take a risk with the goal is to prove to Vietnamese people and the whole world that Vietnamese games are able to compete at a global level.

...College 05/02/2015 History of Sports/Games Using A Ball Sports or games have played a large part in the history of the world in regards to culture and entertainment and in some cases even sacrificial beliefs. Games using spherical shaped balls have been recorded as early as 1,400 B.c. in MesoAmerica and have evolved into what are now the World’s most prominent sports such as soccer or fùtbol. Games have evolved into sport, which has taken modern society by storm and created one of the largest economical entertainment industries in the world today. The first recorded history of games played with round objects was known as Ōllamaliztli, or simply as, “The Ball Game.” This game had ritualistic associations and has been dated back to 1,400 B.C. Many cultures grew to involve this game into it’s culture and ritualistic lives but the great civilization of the Mayans was the prominent exerciser. “As best as is now known from archaeological and iconographical sources as well as the structure of the sport courts, this was a very physically taxing and important part of Mayan culture.” (Blümchen). Although the exact rules of the game are unknown to this day, historians have made certain hypothesis as too how it was played. The game was played in large courts found all over Central America and as far north as Arizona. Diagonally arched balls surrounded the court with rings at the top of each wall. “Evidence suggests that different types of games, all played with a rubber ball, existed...

...Football, to me, is more than just a game. I have probably learned more valuable lessons from it than from school. When I joined the team freshman year, I didn’t realize what I was getting into. Even though I had been playing since fourth grade and knew it was hard work, nothing would prepare me for the effort I would put into football that year. We worked all summer in the weight room and ran on the track to get in physical and mental shape before the season. See, football is more of a mental sport than anything else, so running on the track wasn’t only about getting in shape. We would push our minds by running as hard as we could even if we felt like we were going to pass out. At the beginning, I was immature and only thought of myself, sometimes even giving up when I was tired or hurting. Then after the third game I had a season-ending injury. Imagine working all summer and then only being able to play three games! I needed surgery on my arm and at least five months to recover. Needless to say, I was sidelined for the rest of the season, but this actually helped me realize that since you never know when your last play will be, you should try your hardest in football and life. After freshman year I decided that I would always give my best effort. Playing varsity football has taught me so much more than just what my assignments are on a particular play or how to block. I have learned to think about others first, and realized how important working hard is...

...sports movies that I have ever seen. Matter of a fact it is one of the most inspiring movies that I have ever seen altogether. It is about a baseball player named Roy Hobbs, whose main goal in the movie is to become the best baseball player to ever play the game. It starts out with Roy throwing with his dad at their farm when Roy was a young kid. Then it jumps to a scene where it shows Roy’s dad dying of a heart attack under the tree that is in their front yard. Then it has Roy standing in front of his window one night just looking at the tree when a streak of lightening came down and struck the tree splitting it into two pieces. Now Roy took part of the tree and made a bat out of it and called it Wonderboy. Then it jumps to where Roy is at the age of just getting out of high school and it shows him talking to his girlfriend at the time, whose name was Iris. He was telling her that he had talked to a team out of Chicago and that he had a tryout with the team. As the movie goes a long, it shows him getting on a train with his agent, or the guy that found him and got his tryout, but also on the train it has a guy named Whammer on the train that is supposed to be the best baseball player that was ever going to play the game of baseball. So they stop at a carnival to enjoy their time and during this time Roy’s man that found him and another guy that was with the Whammer on the train made a bet with each other. The bet was that Roy could not strike the Whammer out on three straight...

...REACTION PAPER At the age of 16, what are you doing at this age? Ordinary teenagers at this age used to go to school particularly high school, and enjoy their teenage years. Aside from this routine, teenagers may earn money by different stuffs around them. Most of the teenagers enjoy playing online computer games as for now. And who knows you can use this stuff to earn money and lead your first step to become a successful entrepreneur or I should say technopreneur. Like Ittipat who is now a successful businessman.

...long restless hours, we landed in Mexico City, only to wait another 3 hours before getting on another plane. Finally arriving to our destination, Cuba, we hopped off the plane only to be surprised by the scorching heat and insane humidity. We were all drenched in a puddle of sweat while just standing motionless waiting for our luggage. Arriving at the hotel we hit the pool for the rest of the day. Next morning we arrived at the field not knowing what to expect. I was pitching the first game. I felt so honored to be given the special opportunity to pitch in the very first stadium where the very first game was played in Cuba. In between innings my teammates would go through a case of water like it was nothing. We were trying hard to play in the scorching weather. I was literally dying in the mound, there was an inning where I ran out of air and was purple! I took about a million puffs of the inhaler and got back on the mound. I am proud to say that I was the first pitcher to ever throw a complete game shutout on that team in history! on this trip I realized how much I have and how bad I take for granted. It was very hard for me to see kids playing just as good or even better than us without any proper equipment! Kids playing in sandles, torn up cleats , ripped up gloves shorts or sweats. I made many friends and I told them how embarrassed I was to have what I have and not realize how lucky I am, so I gave everything that I had away. I...

...their mentality is they better win this game and if they lose its then end of the world and puts a lot of the people in bad moods. This happens on the daily basis. Sports fans thrive for the excitement of the games. The excitement of the games and the atmosphere of the stadium bring them in to a whole different world. The fans that take it the most seriously are definitely soccer, baseball, hockey and football fans the most. The die-hard fans care about every game that is played by their team. Most of the time they will take the hard fought loss as if they are part of the team. People are crazy about sports, they’re die-hard fanatics, which sometimes care more about sports then their actual life. The biggest sports fans would have to be football; they go all out for their team. People plan their day around the game by getting to the field to barbeque and tailgate before the game. Most of the time it will be two to three hours before the game. Even some times people will just get to the stadium to tailgate and be in the atmosphere of everyone else and not go into the game because they don’t have tickets. Football fans are crazy they will throw parties in the parking lot before and after the games. They also have fans that paint their bodies and stand out in the freezing cold when normal people would be bulled up in cloths. Football Fans are crazy but that is just the way they are. People will skip out on all sorts of events for game day just because they are that dedicated...

...Quebec This moment in my life took place in October-April 2012. The final minutes of the game in October we were about to win a paid trip to Quebec City to play in the biggest hockey tournament in the world, and we would be sponsored by the Colorado Avalanche Pro hockey team. We did it, we just won the Quebec Qualifier. It was a long 5 months of waiting for our gear to arrive. We had NHL stock jerseys that were exactly the same as the Avalanche wore, we got the same tracksuits, pants covers , and winter gear for the cold Quebec weather and the proud name of the JR. Colorado Avalanche. We had 1 more month of waiting and we would be playing the best teams from around the globe as we would be fighting to be crowned the best PeeWee team in the world. The 6 months of waiting were over and now we only had the traveling, we had the worst flight there it was a total of 7 hours of flying to Montreal from Dallas. We arrived at the Montreal airport at about 11:00 - 12:00 am, then we had to then go through customs, we were finally in Montreal Canada. I guess we had it lucky the other flight lost their bags in Chicago, but they arrived the next day. Now, all that was left was the 2 hour bus drive to Quebec. After the 10 hours of crazy travel we arrived at the Fairmont hotel which was the nicest hotel I have ever seen, if not the nicest 5 star hotel in the world. It used to be a castle for royalty and is surrounded by stone walls and cannons are still visible. Everyone was so...
