![]() ![]() The oldest known maze is the Cretan labyrinth in Knossos. (To clear the confusion with labyrinth, labyrinth has only a single route with more twists and turns without branches.) "A maze is a tour puzzle in the form of a complex branching passage through which the solver must find a route." From the simple lines and squares inside children's maze books, to the complex mazes that block our way to further plots in a RPG game, maze is common and popular.įirst, let's look closer at maze. So here is the link to the version without sounds: When I tried to publish the game, there were some problems about the format of the audio files.Still trying to fix it. One day I was listening to this song on a bus, and then suddenly discovered the beautiful scenery outside the bus. This song is one of the inspiration of the whole idea of this game. For the ending part, the music is from a Japanese animation 'Natsume's Book of Friends'. I composed a simple piece of looped motif. The background music for the staring part is made by Ableton Live. People Staring at their Phones on the Bus Based on the experience I want to convey to players, I have an initial game mechanics in mind. Then your view finally leaves the screen and find out the beautiful and colorful scene outside the window."ĭifferent from previous game project, this time I am working from a subtle experience rather than the game mechanics. Suddenly, a pedal with color fells on your screen. After playing several games, updating social networking, reading some news, checking messages and emails., you are tired of all those flooding new notifications and messages. Without looking up, all you focus on is the small screen in your hands. "Sitting in a bus, you are playing with your cellphone. As a result, my idea for this project was born: We often miss the scenery we are passing through. On the bus, most passengers are playing with their phones, busy with playing mobile games, refreshing social network, reading news, etc. In modern society, we human beings are sometimes lost in the convenient technology. All of a sudden, I realized that I am actually looking into a screen instead of viewing those scenes in reality. When browsing color palette, I was struck by the beauty in these natural colors. The interesting condition of this project made me start from building a color palette first. One interesting condition of this project is that all of us have to build this game with no more than 5 colors!Īs usual, in order to find my inspiration for this project, I went to the Make a “Serious Game” that deals with a specific aspect of the manufacture and promotion of mobile phone/tablet device culture.

It’s a really powerful tool that allows you to do almost everything that its paid counterparts do, but it’s free and open-source. Inkscape has been around for a long time.

![]() ![]() The Google Chrome Beta app on iOS will use a blueprint-inspired design, nodding to Apple’s developer-focused apps. The ChromeOS versions use brighter colors with gradients like the other system icons, while the macOS varietals skew more 3D. GOOGLE CHROME ICON WINDOWS 10“We want the icons to feel recognizably Chrome, but also well crafted for each OS,” he shared.įor Windows devices, the icons have a gradated look, so they mesh with Windows 10 and 11. ![]() Hu and company created OS-specific customizations for the logo so that they feel at home and in sync with each individual device. For example, Chrome designer Elvin Hu explained on Twitter how his team found that placing particular shades of green and red next to each other created an “unpleasant color vibration.” To combat this, they introduced a subtle gradient to the main icon. Some changes to the logo are likely imperceptible to most. They’ve stripped down the predecessor by removing the shadows and shading, refined the icon’s proportions, and brightened its colors. ![]() Simplicity was the name of the game here, with the extent of the refresh including tweaked elements of the previous version. It also marks the first time in eight years that Google updated its logo, and, from the looks of it, they really didn’t do much in the way of rocking the boat with this new iteration. That’s right, we have another flat logo to analyze here at PRINT, with Google Chrome unveiling a new suite of brand icons that will appear across various devices and operating systems in the coming months.

I didn’t apply to college even though I should have. But I still feel like I’m coasting on the battery of the ’60s and ’70s. It was something that we could do all the time and we had great drugs that enhanced it. Maybe we should just get it out of the way so that it doesn’t interfere with our personal relationship!” We slept with hundreds of people. You’d be talking to your friends and you’d say, “Oh, I just read so and so, and there was this great sex scene.” Then your friend would say, “Oh, you know, we’ve never had sex. And I was lucky - I came of age after the arrival of the pill and before the arrival of AIDs - so we had a lot of time to really screw our brains out. And we decided that we were not, after all, meant to be. Something has come up.” I hopped on a plane and spent two weeks traveling down the coast with this guy. I got a letter from him saying, “I’m going to be in California, we should meet.” I was already married, but I turned around to my husband and said, “Bryce - I’m going to California. We got back together years later to figure out if it was meant to be. We’re still in touch, still see each other. When I was in seventh grade, I fell madly in love, more than I have been in my whole life. Fast-forward to four years later when my shrink asked me if I ever caught my parents in “the primal act” - I said “yes.” The next week, my mother arrived at the shrink’s office and said, “We pay all this money for you to get well, and you’re telling lies to the doctor!” Afterwards, my mother said, “You must never tell anybody what you have seen!” She put the fear of God into my life. One time, actually, I caught my parents having sex. Sylvia is a writer living in West Harlem. But after speaking with Sylvia, Barbara and Michele - all women 70 or older - about their relationships to pleasure, I now realize that some women only grow more comfortable in their sexualities and in their bodies as they age.īelow, their stories as told to me - accounts that capture life’s daily pleasures with so much grace and tenacity that you might just understand why people say a work of art only gains value with perspective, over time. It was once bewildering to me that my mother could be so candid about sex. As it turns out, that couldn’t be further from the truth. It’s a convoluted concept, and one that goes hand in hand with the belief that women can only reach a certain sexual peak before hitting a steady decline and returning to a state of childlike innocence. Society has a tendency to perpetuate this idea that the older a woman grows, the more she yearns for the beauty of her youth. “And art isn’t an act: It’s a process, an experience.” She turned off my bedside lamp stood up to leave the room. “Sex is art,” she told me, as I anxiously played with the hair above my lip. She spoke about the importance of passion: pursuing it, asking for it and finding it within yourself. Instead of focusing on the anatomy of sex - the biological prophecies by which, some say, our bodies were made to meld into one - my mother chose to emphasize pleasure. Under the cover of midnight, she sat cross-legged at the end of my bed and proceeded to give me The Talk, although it was more of a whisper.
