This is a tutorial on vector algebra and matrix algebra from the viewpoint of computer graphics. It covers most vector and matrix topics needed to read college-level computer graphics text books. Most graphics texts cover these subjects in an appendix, but it is often too short. This tutorial covers the same material at greater length, and with many examples.

Carnage Heart is a video game for the Sony PlayStation, developed by Artdink. Its gameplay is a mecha-based, turn-based strategy game, where the player takes the role of a commander in a war fought by robots. The robots, called Overkill Engines (OKEs), cannot be directly controlled in battle; they must be programmed beforehand to behave in a certain way under certain conditions using a flow diagram system.Carnage Heart has become one of the rarest of all U.S. PlayStation titles due to limited production. The game was also plagued by poor sales and virtually no advertising. The bland graphics and steep challenge are the two reasons often given for the lack of success in the U.S. market. The rarity has not affected its online auction sale price, which is usually under US$20

The potential for Facebook to be a massive platform for game development seems difficult to understate as of mid-2009. Already, it's host to a huge number of games, several of which pull in millions of users on a regular basis.

In fact, several game on Facebook have surpassed World of Warcraft's subscriber base in terms of monthly unique players, as recent charts have shown. Of course, none of the social network-based MMOs charge $15 a month to play -- and many of the players never buy virtual items, which monetize these games. But many do, as the landscape rapidly evolves, and it's becoming clear that you can build userbase for online games incredibly fast using social networks.

We came up with Faebl, a fantasy game for mobile phones with GPS receivers that you play in the real world. To make it work we chose to write our own platform for multi-player mobile games, and called it Wombile. (Blame the names on the difficulty of finding short words that are easy to pronounce and still available as a ".com" domain!)

For a simple game written in just a few days, Faebl was surprisingly fun to play. Players who downloaded the software to a compatible phone were thrown into a fantasy battle taking place in the real world. If they were physically near another player, they'd be given the opportunity to fight them. If the other player didn't want to be attacked, they had to physically run away. Different weapons made different noises (played through the phones' speakers), and defending players had to pick an appropriate weapon to defend with based on the sound they heard.

This paper aims to explore a method of visual notation based on UML (Unified Modelling Language) to help the game designer understand the emergent dynamics of his or her game. This method is not intended to replace the iterative design process. Rather it is intended to possibly add an extra quick iteration and to improve the accuracy of the information gained from each iteration, and thereby to increase the effectiveness of interventions of the game designer between iterations.
