]]> 01 Dec 2006 10:41:22 Isketch Join other people from around the world to play a fun game of online sketching!
The object of the game is simple. Each player gets a chance to draw a word which the other players will try to guess. You can play anytime for free, 24 hours a day!

Some of the most important rules are: Don't use LETTERS in your draw, use the hint button to give the number of letters and display common courtesy to your fellow players. Take time to read the rules, as joining a game constitutes willingness to follow them. Rules will be enforced by players and administrators alike.

The game consists of 10 rounds where one person is given a word to draw, while the other players will try to guess it within an alloted time.

As the Guesser: Click on the "Game" window to make it yellow, meaning it's active. Type in your guesses in the text input box. Your guesses are visible to the other players except when you are close to, or have guessed the word. When you have guessed correctly, your name will turn red. The quicker you guess the word, the higher your score.

As the Artist: You will have a specific amount of time to draw the word. You will be able to see the guesses and know how the players are doing. Clicking on the "Give HINT" button will reveal blanks corresponding to the puzzle. The second click will supply the first letter of the word. The third click will give out the second letter. Because hints will significantly increase your chances of getting the word guessed, your score will be reduced by 2 points per hint.

As soon as a player has guessed the word, the hint button will disappear. You have the option to conclude the game as soon as one player has guessed the word, by pressing the "DONE" button. If you wish to pass on the word, press the "SKIP" button.

The round will end when any of the following occurs:

1. Time runs out.
2. The artist decides to end the round. This is done by clicking SKIP or DONE.
3. The artist doesn't draw anything within the first 20 seconds.
4. After a set time (usually 30 seconds) following the first correct guess.
5. If 3 players press the "Warn Artist" button when the artist violates any drawing rule.
6. If any rule is violated and the artist is skipped over by an administrator.

Scoring

Artist:
The artist receives 10 points for the first correct guess.
One (1) point for each additional guess is awarded, up to a maximum of 5, and a total earning potential of 15 points per round.
Two (2) points is deducted for each hint used.

Guesser:
The first guesser is awarded 10 points.
The 2nd guesser is awarded 9 points, 3rd guesser gets 8 points and so on, with a minimum of 5 points.

The scoring system ensures a big payout for guessing quickly, drawing effectively and getting as many correct guessers as you can. While using the hint button helps with your drawing and therefore getting more players to guess your word, use only when absolutely necessary.

Game Rules

The object of the game is to draw a word known only to you, and based on your drawing, other players try to guess the secret word. You can use any artistic method to make your drawing easier to guess. However, you are not allowed to use non-artistic clues, such as writing letters.

DO
Use these helpful methods to render your drawings:

Ear symbol: Indicates that the puzzle sounds like the word you are drawing. For example: If the word is "fox", draw an ear and a box.

Other Symbols: Symbols used in grammar, math, etc. are allowed. Chemical symbols are not allowed, as they are almost always abbreviations of the word. Mathematical formulas are allowed. For example: The word "equation" can be rendered using "x + y = z". Punctuations in the puzzle can be given out in your draw without having to use the hint button.

Numbers: You may use numbers in clues, (i.e., use the number 2 for "two" or "to") - including numbers that are already in the puzzle. You must not use numbers to represent letters as done in techno jargon. For example: Do not write 533 for the word "see". Roman numerals are allowed; do not mistake them for letters.
Word Count: In multiword rooms, you can give out the number of WORDS (not number of letters) in your puzzle.

Syllabify: You may divide the word into syllables or parts by slashing the line (that represents the word) and then rendering each syllable/part. You may not draw the syllable/part if it's only 1 letter. Leave it blank and concentrate on the others.

DON'T
Let's keep it fair! If any of the following occurs, you will possibly be skipped by an administrator, or receive a kick vote from a player. If the word is too difficult, skip it; do not write the word out! Repeated attempts at violating the rules may result in a kick or permanent ban.

Letters: Letters that provide clues to the word are strictly prohibited. Examples: Drawing a character saying "Shhh", "ZZZ"; writing "STORE" on a building for the word "shop", writing "R.I.P." on the tombstone. Although you shouldn't be skipped for writing personal messages like "LOL", "Hi", and "Argh, hard word" refrain from using them as they could be mistaken as part of your draw.

"Drawing" individual letters: Rendering any or all letters individually using any kind of symbol, icon, code (including colors), hint, stress, etc. is not allowed. Examples: Drawing an apple for "A", an eye for "I", umlaut on the space where the letter goes, the color green for "G", drawing another image whose first letter is the same as the letter in question.

Word "mapping": Any method whereby all or part of a different word is used to reveal part of the secret word.

Illegal use of hints: As artist, only after you have clicked on the HINT button can you freely give the number of letters in the puzzle or draw spaces representing the letters in the puzzle.

Giving away the answer: As guesser, after you have successfully guessed the word, feel free to talk in the "Chat" window. However, do not direct other players to the word. For example: typing the current word with spaces in between, giving the actor's name for a movie title, etc. Comments about the current puzzle are acceptable, but do not give leading hints. It is alright to note that a player has misspelled a word; however, do not give the correct spelling of the word.

Improper conduct: Deliberate drawing of unrelated and/or sexually explicit/racist images; giving out the word in any way; harrassing other players; using offensive language directed at other players; impersonating an iSketch administrator by username choice or otherwise.


Specialty Room Conventions
Some rooms are played according to guidelines over and above the general iSketch rules. Adopting these conventions will make the game play easier for everyone.

Connections:
Include the previous guessed word into the current drawing. The idea is to connect the two unrelated words into your drawing. If you just joined the room, obtain the last word from the players.

Big Picture / Movies (Expert):
The words in the puzzle may NOT be drawn individually, rather incorporated into one image.

Tandem:
Two artists draw a phrase simultaneously and cooperatively. The ways this can be achieved are:
1. Using the sequence the artists' names are displayed on the game window, artist 1 draws the first word on the left side of the board and artist 2 takes the other word on the right side.
2. Both artists decide to create a "big picture". In this case, the artists can communicate by writing "BP?" on the board. Do not vote to skip the artists.

Famous Faces:
Designed to allow enough time to render a face as accurately as possible. Players can open http://images.google.com in a separate browser window. Make sure both the Google and iSketch window are movable, i.e., not maximized. When it's your turn to draw, put a dot on the canvas, so the server won't think you're sleeping. Type in your celebrity's name on Google. Reposition the Google window so that you can view it while you are drawing. Copy the picture you selected as well as you can. Have fun!

he Drawing Tools
1. Eraser
2. Rectangle. Click again to toggle between filled/non-filled mode. (This goes for all shape tools).
3. Fill
4. Spray. Fills a round area with small random dots.
5. Pen. Opaque brush strokes.

6. Clear. Clears the drawing area completely. Hold down SHIFT to fill with the current color instead of white.
7. Circle
8. Zoom. Double-click to zoom out fully.
9. Line
10. Brush. Semi-transparent brush strokes.

HINT and SKIP buttons
Click on "Give HINT" to deliver hints.
Click on "SKIP" to pass on your turn.
As soon as one player has guessed correctly,
"Give HINT" turns grey (inactive), and "SKIP" changes to the "DONE" button.

Sketching tips
You don't have to be a skilled artist to do well on the game. The most effective sketches rely on best methods used by players. As you play more, you will pick up techniques for rendering even the seemingly "undrawable" words. In iSketch, "creativity" takes on a whole new meaning!

  • Take your time, don't rush! Allow as much detail as possible in the allotted time. Drawing too fast will just make the sketch incomprehensible.
  • Use colors! By selecting an appropriate color you can maximize chances of getting your clues understood. A black circle with lines around it could be a spider. If it is yellow- it's a sun, if it's green- a frog and so on. Color can effectively get a message across.
  • "Chop" the word up. For instance, if the word is "understand", draw a box with an arrow below it (under), then draw a person standing (stand).
  • Show the opposite to clarify what aspect you're after. If the word is "tall", you could draw a very tall figure and a much shorter one. Then cross out the shorter figure.
  • Draw something that sounds like the word. To indicate a rhyme, draw an ear. Then draw the rhyming word. For instance, if your word is "take" draw a cake and the ear symbol.
  • Create your own "special effects". For example, when drawing the word "space", fill the board with black using the filled circle tool and then put some white dots over it with the pen tool to represent stars.

    • tiquette
    People play iSketch to have a good time, not to be offended or disgusted. Use the chat box for friendly banter or to chat politely with the other people in your room.

    Things NOT to do in the chat:

    1. Flood: Repeatedly sending the same message to the chat box. It's irritating.
    2. Use all capitals: If you've ever used any other form of Internet chat (IRC, AOL chat), you know that capitalization is usually regarded as cyber-shouting and unnecessary.
    3. Make prejudiced comments: Don't attack people's race, religion or any other qualities.
    4. Engage in "cybersex": The virtual equivalent of public displays of affection, only not as cute. If you find true love on iSketch, good for you; but remember: you can send private messages! Just type "/MSG username your message".

    If someone is causing trouble, you can use the /IGNORE command to prevent their messages from appearing.

    he windows
    There are three main windows:
    GAME is where your guesses should go.
    CHAT is for chatting with other players, both openly or privately.
    Click on either "Game" or "Chat" window to make it active (the active window will be yellow). You can also press the TAB key to toggle between the windows.
    USERS lists the players in the room with their corresponding scores.

    Pointing at a username in the userlist will show you the player's profile.
    Clicking and holding down the mouse button on a player's name will show a window with some command shortcuts:

    Selecting the username in the pop-up window allows you to chat privately with the player. The window will turn blue indicating a private chat. Click anywhere else to return to normal mode.
    Ignore will hide messages from the selected player. To cancel, click again.
    Boot gives you the option to vote a player out of the game. This option is not available for newbies.

    Text commands
    There are a number of commands available you may type in the text input box. Those of you familiar with IRC will recognize many of them. All commands begin with a forward slash (/) in order to separate them from normal chat text.

    Command Explanation Example

Instead, what they do is create the logic for the dragon. The dragon is then loaded into the simulator, which then steps through a certain number of cycles before ending. The dragon is then scored based on various items such as how long the dragon lived, how much treasure it collected, how many knights killed, and so on.

    The game has a bare shell created, but it is still very much in development.

    ]]>     31 Mar 2007 04:56:02     Moon Base One What is the game?
    The game is a persistent online world that will connect kids from around the country to participate in an educational experience.

    Why create this game?
    The purpose of creating the game is to infuse the younger generation with a passion for science and technology and to help give them knowledge of cutting edge science in a format that they are readily accustomed to and less resistant to like a text book.

    Who is the game designed for, what is the target audience?
    The target audience for Moon Base One is students from middle school to early high school. The game, however will appeal to people of all ages who are interested in space exploration and scientific discovery, which will attract players from both younger and older age groups.

    Where does the game take place?
    The game takes place on the first commercial moon base created on the moon in the near future. There will be planned expansions to the game taking players to different planets/moons such as Mars.

    What do I control?
    Players will control a newly arrived worker to the base who will assist in many tasks in order to facilitate in the smooth operation of the base.

    How many characters do I control?
    Players will initially control one character per account to save on storage space and allow for easier verification of accomplishments and medal awards.

    What is the main focus?
    The players’ goals will vary as the game matures and new content is added. Initially players will be able to solve missions gaining their avatar many customizations such as the ability to use various vehicles, and add cosmetic changes to their avatar such as external lights, different player skins, and additional equipment.

    What is Different?
    There are very few examples of persistent worlds that are used as an educational tool, in fact I cannot honestly think of any. There is a huge gap when it comes to educational software entertainment software. Its educational games are pretty much limited to games such as math blaster, which not only just appeals to a very young audience, but ceases to be marketed past its small target audience. Moon Base One will be revolutionary in that it will merge both real life and the virtual in that in game accomplishments can reward the player with certificates and medals. Players will also learn about cutting edge real world technology so that adults can feel comfortable with their kids playing the game and view it as educational software.
    ]]>     09 Apr 2007 06:41:15     Switched On Learning The organisation Switched on Learning provides resources for handicapped or disabled children in Australia. They have had some simple games produced to entertain and educate the children that attend workshops and play groups. These games are bright, two-dimensional games that test the many skills that the children can develop. However, there are little or no games designed for the older primary school students and some secondary students.

    Objectives
    gui-custom.jpg To fulfil the client’s desire, there are several approaches. A main game with smaller games branching out from it would make a suitable objective that could be accomplished. To create this, a game engine has been suggested as the basis to design and produce the final product. Each game will comply with the specifications of the client with some modifications that the client authorises. A story driven game following the level system provided by the client will encompass the main game. Research of the target audience increases the chance of a successful game. The combination of the research and the game creates a winning formula to finish the project and complete a successful game.

    Game objectives for Level 1 and Level 2 of the Shopping Centre
    Ground level is a simple exploration level where the player can explore the entire shopping centre with no objectives or missions. The shopping centre is mainly under construction at that point of the game. Some shops will be completely inaccessible to the player at the current time. The supermarket will be sealed off until level 3 where the player must follow the shopping list and buy all the items.

    Level 1:
    Objectives: Buy a stamp

    Switched on Learning Switching Demo This level is to ease the player into completing objectives in an order. Of the stores open at the time there are two at which the stamp can be purchased a post office and a newsagency. In total, six shops should be open by level 1 with the player able to enter each store and have a conversation with the shop attendant. A security guard can help them if they get lost. Once the player enters the store, they must decide what was required to be purchased. Once they choose the correct item, the level ends and the player moves up to level 2.
    Level 2:
    Objectives: Buy a can of soup, a box of cereal and a packet of chips from the supermarket

    Items: Shopping list, cash

    Switched on Learning Switching Demo This is the final level of the game. Based in the supermarket that was initially sealed off, the player can now approach it and enter. They now must find and collect each item off the shopping list and head for the checkout. They must pay for the items, but they do have a choice to leave the store without paying. Several cues will be spoken to help jog their memory of what they should have done, each getting more obvious the longer the player stalls. The game ends when they leave the supermarket with paid goods.

    ]]>     30 May 2007 10:27:44     Beethoven's Hair The player must first summon the ghost of Beethoven before they can fully enter the online game world. This is done by performing a ritual with a strand of Beethoven's hair. The game world will be a fictionalization and poetic interpretation based on established facts already know about Beethoven.

It will involve the player in a dreamlike game story that will allow the player to reveal and engage in key themes of Beethoven's life, his hopes and fears. These will be encapsulated in a series of mini-games contained within elements formed by Beethoven's own memories and visions.
    ]]>     12 Jun 2007 06:05:32     Gaygate: EEP This is an online FPS game based on pure humor. But the name doesn't mean we are gay, the game is just for gay gags and stuff.
    The story is: One day some students set up two forces, the Gay force and the Victim force. Then they battle.
    We cannot let out any form of information for it will spoil a lot of things.
    The game is basically a giant interactive humor shooting gag.

    Created by the EEP students of Bodin 3, Thailand.

    The game is still in concept phase and is far from finished.

    Please stop voting the anticipation so low. As an explanation. The concepts are just 1 minute jobs! Don't judge the game for this stuff. Thanks.
    ]]>     23 Jun 2007 10:51:42     The Redistricting Game The game exposes how redistricting works, how it is abused, and how it adversely affects our democracy. It provides hands-on understanding of the real redistricting process, including drawing district maps and interacting with strongheaded party bosses, congresspeople, citizen groups, and courts. Players directly experience how crafty manipulation of lines can yield skewed victories for either party - effectively allowing politicians to choose their voters instead voters choosing their politicians.

    In addition the game provides details on a variety of reform measures - including a playable version of Rep. Tanner's "Fairness and Independence in Redistricting Act" (H.R. 2642) - as well as features that allow players to get involved in the public discourse: by dialoging with fellow citizens in an online forum, spreading the word to their friends, and even writing their congressperson directly from the game.
