    "What makes games fun? Some (e.g. Raph Koster) claim that fun is learning - fun games are those which are easy to learn, but hard to master, with a long and smooth learning curve. I think we can create fun game rules automatically through measuring their learnability. In a recent experiment, we do this using evolutionary computation, and create some simple Pacman-like new games completely without human intervention! Perhaps this has a future in game design? The academic paper (PDF) is available as well."

    Welcome to Blocky.io, the home page for the Blocky programming language. Blocky is a visual programming system written in Common Lisp designed for multimedia authoring and general user programming. In addition to borrowing ideas from GNU Emacs, the language design is heavily influenced by existing visual programming research projects such as PureData, Squeak, Self Morphic, MIT Scratch, Berkeley's Build Your Own Blocks, and more recently Jens Moenig's Smalltalk Elements.

    BASIC-256 is an easy to use version of BASIC designed to teach young children the basics of computer programming. It uses traditional control structures like gosub, for/next, and goto, which helps kids easily see how program flow-control works. It has a built-in graphics mode which lets them draw pictures on screen in minutes, and a set of detailed, easy-to-follow tutorials that introduce programming concepts through fun exercises.

  • The project is meant to explore both positive and negative aspects of a world saturated with technology that can monitor people and objects remotely. "What we want to understand," Borriello said, "is what makes it useful, what makes it threatening and how to balance the two."
  • Our objective is to create a future world where RFID is everywhere and figure out problems we'll run into before we get there,
  • For more than a year, a dozen researchers have carried around RFID tags equipped with tiny computer chips that store an identification number unique to each tag. Researchers installed about 200 antennas throughout the computer-science building that pick up any tag near them every second.
  • ...12 more annotations...
  • The system can show when people leave the office, when they return, how often they take breaks, where they go and who's meeting with whom,
  • if people don't see the tags, it's easy to forget they are giving out information whenever they come within range of a reader.
  • how to make the technology useful while protecting privacy
  • The system is transparent, so each can tell if the other has checked his whereabouts.
  • Users can search the calendar to jog their memories about when they last saw someone or how, where and with whom they spent their time.

      I can see these things being useful. Like the idea of transparency
  • have been designed to divulge more information than necessary, opening the door to security and privacy problems
  • There's no reason to have remotely readable technology in a driver's license," Borriello said. He recommends a system that requires contact with the surface of a reader, so the license-holder knows when information on his license is being read.

      Ethical issues to choose the right technology for the problem. Good point
  • data from radio tags can be pieced together to offer a detailed profile of a person's habits without his or her knowledge.
  • People don't understand the implications of information they're giving out," Borriello said. "They can be linked together to paint a picture, one you didn't think you were painting."

      Critical for people to be street smart. Important role for schools
  • Last year, the number of police requests for information from London's RFID-based transit card rose from four per month to 100
  • It's important to understand what the technology can do and we, collectively, have to decide what we're going to use it for
  • As soon as it becomes widely used, then it's more attractive and people start attacking it," showing its vulnerabilities, Borriello said. The trouble is "by that time, it's hard to change.

      Good that someone is being proactive about this.
