games

The world game-wise I would like to portray and celebrate and create is sort of mapped out in my head. It is a world based on the etoys theory of soft fences: you start out in a children's playground that is very rudimentary, very activity oriented and with a very low fence. This is the sort of physical playground I remember as a child growing up: it was a set of bars and rings and a sandbox with a scrap of pavement marked out for hop scotch and a numbers square game.

It had a low fence that you could look over into the next playground.

Its a mystery to me how to create my own generator, however the Kaywa QR-generator works fine for simple urls. It would be possible using this generator to create a scavenger hunt game simply using urls to specific flikr account images that contain visual clues and pointers to a next step.

The next step for real is another story.

The next step is a scavenger hunt linking water and information, or at least determining where the links need to be made.

Derelict cities like Flint Michigan are seizing the downturn opportunity to re size their cities and create new park spaces and coherent neighborhoods. The LA River Project has made bike paths and aquifers that have enlivened the local citizens spaces.

For over twenty years I have used UNIX or Linux on and off as part of my art process. First it was all GNU and then it became Open Source in its articulation. As the internet has evolved awareness of the system and development of tools with it have really progressed. Following sources like slashdot and reading Linux boards on the modern internet the question has come up numerous times...why isn't there a great game on Linux?
