Era of Arcade Games !

Hello guys, here I am to discuss about the beautiful Era of Arcade Games. So here we go for the indepth study of Arcade games and stuff.

ARCADE GAMES – A coin-operated entertainment machine, usually found in  arcades, bars, hotels and other business establishments. Arcade games are video games or pinball machines.A type of game genre that is a fast-paced action game (for PC or console), requiring hand-eye coordination skill to play. Pinball games for the PC would be considered an arcade game.

The golden era of Arcade games -The Golden Age of arcade video games was a peak era of arcade game popularity and innovation. Most opinions place this period’s beginning in the late 1970s, when color arcade games became more prevalent and video arcades themselves started popping up outside of their traditional bowling alley and bar locales, through to its ending in the mid-1980s.

Types of Arcade games –  1) Pinball machines

2) Electro-mechanical games

3) Redemption games

4)  Merchandisers games

These terms would be explained in my next blog, stay tuned and keep playing !

Finally done with it…was procrastinating it since a month or so…some of my anime concept art.

Info. about publishing a game !

Hey there, here i am guys once again to share some info. about how to publish a game on any platform for various handheld devices. I’ve been learning about it since a couple of days and here i am, about to share some info about it. So i have chosen Android platform coz, it’s one of the simple, attractive and more over user oriented platform and 1 of the main reason can be simplified in just one word : CHOICES! As if from my point of view choices drive competition. The competition within Android phone manufacturers itself will inevitably make Android phones even better than what they are today.

• So guys, coming straight to the publishing factor, publishing is the general process that makes your applications available to users. In short, users can use your application which you’ve been created. Usually , you release your application through an App. marketplace, such as Google play. However, you can also release your application through email and web sites.                                                                                                                                                                    So actually, the main process needed for publishing is :

1. Setup
2. Development
3. Debugging and Testing
4. Publishing                                                                                                                                                         (Publishing is the last phase of the Android application development process)

• Releasing through an Application marketplace : If you want to distribute your apps to the broadest possible audience, releasing through an app. marketplace such as Google play is ideal. Google play is the premier marketplace for Android apps. and is particularly useful if your target is to distribute your application to a large global audience. Google play is a robust publishing platform that helps you publicize, sell, and distribute your Android application to the users around the globe.

Basically, there are 18 steps for the checklist which can play a very crucial role in terms of publishing a Game :

1. Understand the publishing process
2. Understand the Google play policies
3. Test the core App Quality
4. Determine content Rating
5. Determine country distribution
6. Confirm overall size
7. Confirm platform and screen ranges
8. Decide free or priced
9. Use In-app billing
10. Set prices for your products
11. Start localization
12. Prepare promotional graphics, screenshots, and videos
13. Build the release-ready APK
14. Plan a Beta release
15. Complete the store listing
16. Use Google play Badges and links
17. Final checks and publishing
18. Support users after launch

This was the basic process for publishing a game, which i think might help u guys. So that’s it people, i hope you all gained some knowledge about  this process. Thank you guys and see you next time….Enjoy!

Computer ports (The life connector’s)

Hi guys, this is Meeth Kaushal, student of seamedu – school of game & animation. Its all going good uptill now and here i am to share some productive information about computer ports. So here we start with a simple definition :

• Computer ports : Computer port is a connector point between a computer and an internal / external device or any other peripheral device. Generally, a port refers to the female part of connection, which can be used to connect many devices, such as monitor, webcam, speakers, or any other peripheral device. Port connectors can be male or female, but usually female connectors are much more common. Thus, ports play a very vital role in terms of personal computer’s.

Here we proceed to types of ports :

Types of ports : Mainly there are 2 types of ports                                                                                                                    1) Physical ports                                                                                                                                              2) Virtual ports

1) Physical ports : To connect a computer through a cable and a socket to a peripheral device, physical ports are used. Serial ports (DB9 socket), USB ports, Parallel ports (DB 25 socket), Internet ports (RJ 45 socket), falls under physical computer ports.

2) Virtual ports : A virtual port is a dedicated network connection for each client device.

There are many different types of ports too, which are classified as follows :

1) Digital visual interface (DVI) : It is a video display interface. This is used to connect a video source to a display device. It is developed by Digital Display Working  Group (DDWG).

2) Display port : It is primarily used to connect a video source to a display device such as computer monitor. It is developed by the Video Electronics Standards Association (VESA). It is the first display interface to rely on packetized data trnasmission.

3) E-SATA : It is a computer interface that connects host bus adaptors to storage devices.IT can be hard disk drives and optical drives.

4) IEEE 1394 Interface : These kind of interface are used for high-speed communications and real-time transfer. IT was developed in 1980s and early 1990s. Apple is one of the developer of it and they call it Firewire.

5) PS/2 port : It is normally a 6 – pin used to mini-DIN connection used to connecting some keyboards and mice to computer system.Its name was originated from the IBM personal system /2 series.

6)USB (Universal serial bus) : It was developed in mid 1990s. It is used for connection,communication and power supply between computers,and electronic devices.

7) VGA connector – It is a video Graphics Array connector  usually seen in 3- row 15 pin DE-15 connector.You can use it in video cards, computer monitors, and other television sets

8)HDMI connector (High definition Multimedia Interface) – It is a video/ audio interface for transfering uncompressed video data and digital audio data from an HDMI – compliant source device , to a computer monitor, video projector, etc

     

9) SCSI connector – Basically it is known as Small Computer System Interface. IT defines commands, protocols and electrical and optical interfaces.

10) Phone connector (Audio) – It is basically used for analog signals, primarily audio. It is cylindrical in shape. It was invented in 19th century and is still widely used through out the globe.

   

So , that’s all guys, i hope you people have gained some knowledge about computer ports and hope to see you guys again. Thank you.
