Ccard V2.0 - A Category Theory Card Game The official site for this abstract mathematical card game. You can download the deck as a gzipped postscript. http://www.verify-it.de/sub/ccard/index.html
Extractions: project Ccard is a card game. You can download the cards as gzipped postscript It was born in an area of distress in May 1999, kicked of by the Summer School in Semantics (at BRICS, Aarhus University, Denmark) and in particular the course about category theory there. There are some simple "rules" I made up for two or more players (but you are of course free to change them). The seven suits are organized by a increasing number of "circles" which are meant to reflect the "difficulty" of the facts within. The number of circles/triangles of the suite symbol determines the rank of this suite. Every suite has nine cards. The highest card of one suit is the "aleph"_lambda (resembles a shaky N), followed by "omega", "infinity", then 11, 7, 5, 3, 2 (I like to stick with prime numbers) and finally the empty set (or "naught"). Each of 2 (or possibly more) players gets six cards, the rest is left as a pile on the table.

Brass Lantern Interactive Fiction Theory The theory of adventure game and interactive fiction design, from elements such as puzzles to game analysis. http://brasslantern.org/writers/iftheory/
Extractions: Marnie Parker's long treatise on how interactivity is the key to text adventures. Nick Montfort's book on interactive fiction gives an overview of the genre, a comprehensive history of IF, and even lays the foundation for a theory of the genre. That it does all of this well is remarkable; that it should be well suited both for a general audience and for academicians is amazing. No matter how many times you play your own game, you'll be hard-pressed to figure out what actual players will see when they play it.

Extractions: D E E L a K O R D Welcome to DEELAKORD - the revolutionary card game DEELAKORD, originally devised by Danny Ryan to make music theory for beginners easier to learn and described as a new concept in musical education, has over the years become a valuable teaching aid for teachers and a favourite pastime for experienced musicians. This aspect of DEELAKORD was quickly recognized when the game was first put out on test with musical experts at the Frankfurt Music Show where it was acclaimed as the first of its kind and received the thumbs up sign for originality.

Logique De La Programmation The Logic of Programming research team is interested in proof theory and its relations with theoretical computer science. The main topic is mathematical interpretation of proofs nets (proof = graph), denotational semantics (proof = function), and game semantics (proof = strategy).

Extractions: - advice given to young Anakin Skywalker by Qui-Gon Jinn before his pod race One of the most electrifying scenes in Star Wars Episode I is the pod race between Anakin Skywalker and the heavily favored Sebulba. The speed, danger and excitement of this galactic pastime can now be yours to experience in the Star Wars Episode I - Racer from Lucas Arts. The words of Jedi master Qui-Gon Jinn resonate as especially true for those of us brave enough to delve deeply into this game. More than any other racing game to date, this title is about pure speed. Mastering that speed, and competing against the growing talents of your opponents, will require exquisite skill and concentration - this is not a game for the tense player or the haphazard player, and this is no beer-and-pretzels game.
