My inspiration came from the popular TV show Doctor Who, where the main character called the doctor is a space time traveler where he goes in search for anomalies in different time and tries to fix them before the history of the universe changes.  In this scenario I have 8 different locations with bread crumb trails showing the path of where to go next. Eight different stages with their own situation that would eventually come together in the last stage.

I made place to be a map stage where one part of the area is a stage to start the game, just like how Super Mario Brothers where they would have an overhead map of the world and each area is a stage.  This map that i have made more for a stage selection game where one area contains a side scrolling game.  each stage can contain different themes as i indicated it with different object in the filed, for example i have put a T-Rex that would indicate its a dinosaur stage, and the yellow balls would indicate where the next stage is and your progress in the game. 

Week 4


1) According to the text "Remediation" the author uses the phrase (in relation to Hollywood's use of computer graphics)
"remediation operates in both directions" - what is meant by this?

The diversity is even greater for hypermediacy, which always offer a number of reactions to the contemporary logic of immediacy. Remediation always operates under the current cultural assumptions about immediacy and hypermediacy.

2) What does Michael Benedikt, author of "Cyberspace the First Steps" introduction argue had happened to modern city by the late 60s, having become more than 'a collection of buildings and streets'?

The city became a center of communication, storage and transportation services

3) In his short story "Skinner's Room" William Gibson describes how Skinner watches a tiny portable 'pop-up' TV set. What can skinner no longer remember? (remediation in relation to television as an idea is neatly summed up in this sentance!)

He can't remember when he ceased to be able to distinguish commercials from programming.

4) Author of the famous pamphlet "Culture Jamming" Mark Dery paraphrases Umberto Eco and his phrase "semiological guerrilla warfare". What does this mean?

the freedom to read it in a different way

to try and see it or interoperate the reading in many ways other than what is put on the screen

5) From Mark Dery's pamphlet, briefly describe "Subtervising"

it is a form of cultural jamming. Like to block radar
