Most people associate ‘Linux’ with images of people sitting in front of a system gawking at a screen full of code, devoid of any sort of entertainment.
But, as I have always maintained throughout our Linux Lexicon series, one should never underestimate the power of the Linux Terminal because it almost always contains things, oblivious to our knowledge, that would easily blow away anyone’s mind.

Looking for a nice little burst of nostalgia on this fine Saturday evening? Don’t feel like going through the process of installing MAME and lurking for ROMs, but still want to get your classic arcade on? Back in December of last year, the Internet Archive (in their effort to backup the entire digital world, one bit at a time) launched a “Console Living Room” that offers up browser-friendly emulators for a pretty shocking number of consoles from the 70s/80s. Want to play some Atari 2600? Here you go. Sega Genesis? Yup!) This weekend, they’ve introduced a whole new category: The Internet Arcade. 900+ classic arcade games, no quarters required. It’s all a part of the JSMESS project, an effort to emulate as many systems as possible… in Javascript, of all languages. As they put it, they want to make “computer history and experiences” as embeddable as “movies, documents, and audio”. Do they all work seemlessly? Nah — you’ll almost certainly spot a bug or two. Many are missing sound. But it’ll get better in time — and for now, just the fact that they got MAMEworking in a browser, sans any hefty plugins/runtime environments, is damned impressive. One of JSMESS’ developers, Jason Scott, outlined the work he put into the Arcade-centric leg of the project in a blog post here.

A detailed list of 18 great game engine libraries. A game engine is like a car engine; as a game developer all you need to do is make the effort to make your game look amazing and attractive, while the basic game engine will take care of everything else. In past years, a game developer had to build the game from scratch, which would make the cost of building a game skyrocket. So to make it simple, big game developers started licensing their game engines. These game engines have become a major source of game developers like Unreal. With the advent of mobile gaming, where the development budget is even less, the need for HTML5 AND JAVASCRIPT game engines has risen. If you are a mobile game developer, you need to have a list of game engines that work seamlessly with Html5 and JavaScript. There are many available, both free and paid; however, starting work and selecting the perfect one for your project is a question that haunts many seasoned developers. Some have the best editor, whereas others have the fastest way to create games. Bottom line: every game engine has its pros and cons.

Digital educational games, interactives, virtual labs are excellent resources to assist learning and raising interests for inquiry or investigation. To visualize concepts or to do experiments on computers are cost-effective and efficient. Some games even use role-playing techniques or story lines. Some games create a virtual journey which is impossible to have in real world. We just featured Zombie Plague recently and thought we should give a review on all those quality sources of science learning games. Most sites are from education institutions, non-profit organizations or sponsored by grants, they are free to play. (Simulations are not included in this post, we’ll try to make another post for them) Games for kids of all ages are listed. A great resource to help students explore science. Via Beth Dichter
