Mad Virus
Posted by Peter | Filed under Games
Here’s another fun little puzzle game I found today:

As the name suggets, it’s about a virus. You start off as a single little hexagonal ‘cell’, and you have to infect the neighbouring cells by changing colour to match them. It’s pretty simple in concept, but gets challenging quite quickly (or it did for me anyway… maybe I just don’t played enough games like this!).

Well the first official SloodleMoot is nearly over. It was a 24 hour virtual conference in the virtual world, Second Life, centring primarily around the Sloodle project (as you might guess!). A few hours of dancing left, perhaps… but I think that’s the sessions all done. I was running 2 presentations, with 2 renditions of each. One of each via voice, and one of each via text.
My presentations were:
- Moodle-SL Interactions - looking at the ways in which Moodle and Second Life interact to form the Sloodle module
- Server-Side Programming - how does Sloodle affect the Moodle database, and how do you use the new Sloodle API?
All in all, I thought it was very successful. I got up to a dozen people at each of my sessions, and I thoroughly enjoyed doing them. To take full advantage of the 3d world, I prepared 3-dimensional diagrams to illustrate what I was doing. One diagram was a complex interconnection of blocks, showing which objects in Second Life communicate with which scripts in Moodle. Another showed the Moodle database tables which are added/affected by the Sloodle module, and the last one was a 3d UML class diagram of the Sloodle API.
I got some great feedback, and everybody seemed to appreciate the material and my diagrams. I hope it has also deciphered some of the Sloodle mysteries for many of the mystefied non-techies out there! 
I might go back and join the dancing for a wee while now. Night night.

This is a really fun little fighting game I just found. It’s quite simple (pretty much just sparkly stick figures brawling), but it has that entertaining edge to the gameplay that makes it great. Very worth a shot!
