of desktop computers are in significant decline over the last few
years. Your killer desktop PC is the most powerful gaming rig available,
no question. So why are fewer people buying them, instead taking a

it’s completely changing the way we think about games. The bigger
question is, why?</span></span><br />

development is an incredibly challenging task, requiring the integration of the
best theory, practices, and technologies from computing and a large number of
other domains. Good game programmers will have lots of tools at their disposal
to assist in the process. In this student-oriented session, we examine various
approaches to game programming and the tools that are available to make things
work faster, smoother, and better.</span></span></span></span></span></span></div>

Ontario’s
digital interactive industry has grown exponentially with incredible talent
being procured and recruited regularly. Successful entrepreneurs have begun
start-ups and seen their companies grow to multi-national corporations that
foster the industry and those who work in it.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 12pt;">
<b><u><a href="http://onedgenetwork.com/">OnEDGENetwork.com</a></u></b> is a new web

companies.” </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 12.0pt;">
<b><u>Brittany Medeiros</u></b> is the web manager and face of <b>onEDGE, </b>and has been working with

Animation. “Companies and the community can collaborate and also be educated on
what is new and exciting. Also, we are all about what this industry can
bring, which is FUN.” </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 12.0pt;">

<span style="font-size: x-large;">SNOOK’S BOOK: Get Smacked! </span></h2>
<br />
Those who know, <b>do</b>, and those who understand, <b>teach</b>. <br />
<br />
An internationally acclaimed web designer, developer, and world class conference speaker based in Ottawa, Canada, <a href="http://www.snook.ca/jonathan/"><b>Jonathan Snook</b></a> is a gifted creator of engaging designs, impeccable mark-up and code, forward-thinking ideas and applications that invariably win the respect of the top people in the industry. <br />
<br />
Snook’s new book, <a href="http://smacss.com/" target="_blank"><b>SMACSS</b></a> (pronounced “Smacks”) is a guidebook on examining the CSS (Cascading Style Sheets) design process and fitting <b>rigid frameworks into a flexible thought process</b>. Snook believes that the assimilation of trained habits with the learned tricks of seasoned colleagues is what will form the unique and effective process of each individual web professional. <br />
<br />
The way Snook breaks down the categories of CSS rules and slowly begins to define the <b>patterns</b> within the code creates a new knowledge base for independent principles to be built from. Snook understands that <b>every designer and coder is different</b>, and with a sigh of relief from readers, states: “don’t feel like you have to stick to these guidelines rigidly. Have a convention, document it, and stick to it.” <br />

<br />
Snook also does not claim to be the CSS master and knows that very rarely does any solution solve 100% of the problem. He demonstrates several ways to complete 1 task; demonstrating that when it comes to web development, the answer to most questions is “<b>it depends</b>.” <br />
<br />
Snook’s process works with all versions of HTML, most browsers and their versions with only 2 goals in mind: <b>increase semantics and decrease reliance on specific HTML</b>. This non-discriminatory way of looking at CSS code is what makes SMACSS more than just another book on the shelf; it is the saturated resource that developers are raving about. <br />
<br />
<b>Theory is one thing but application is another</b>. Snook uses real world web examples and points out their CSS layouts relative to the chapter’s content, which becomes crucial in fully absorbing the book’s content. Snook breaks CSS down to its simplest form and teaches what most readers will consider “grade 1” stuff. The book’s audience is therefore widened to a range of programmers from novice to seasoned expert, like Snook himself. <br />
<br />
Chapters are short and to the point. If you are anything like me and (ashamedly) do not like to read, then this book is a reboot to the system. <b>Snook is candid and honest</b>, creating a reading experience that feels like you are in a single student classroom. <br />
<br />
The best part about the book, you ask? <a href="http://smacss.com/book/" target="_blank">It is available to read online</a> with access to <a href="http://smacss.com/book/resources" target="_blank">useful resources</a>! <br />
The more advanced chapters are reserved for site members and purchased copies (<a href="http://shop.smacss.com/" target="_blank">available digitally and in hard-copy</a>). However, the basics and core values are presented in a blog format with open comments for enthused readers.<br />
<div>
<br />
Simplicity is at the core of both his approach and his writing. If you are a coder and frequently use CSS, Jonathon Snook’s book, “<b>SMACSS: Scalable and Modular Architecture for CSS</b>” will become the ammo for your developers arsenal. <br />

(Toronto Animation Arts Festival International), where it was one of two
game-related events in the schedule. Our four panelists- Matt Hammill, Ryan
Creighton, Cathy Feraday-Miller and Jay Edry- and I, myself, mostly got our start on the
animation side before transitioning into interactive media. It is for this reason that I'm very excited
that the panel will play out with a different audience.</span></i></span></span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><i><span> My adventures in indie gaming began when
I first moved to Toronto in June of 2011. I had just graduated from Sheridan's
Classical Animation program and had zero solid job prospect. For some
reason, I decided to Google "video games toronto" on a whim. The first
link that came up was an application for a game-making incubator aimed at women
who had never made a game before, and who had very little industry experience. It
was called the Difference Engine Initiative, and it was run by local
organization Hand Eye Society as part of the TIFF Nexus series of creative
jams. I signed up because I had a lot of free time and curiosity, but I had no
idea the extent to which my participation would change my life. Since then, I've
met so many amazing people and been offered so many cool opportunities
(including the chance to moderate a panel at DIG 2012!) that it seems astounding
that only a year ago, I thought I would be working at Subway.</span></i></span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><i><span>The indie world is an incredibly diverse
habitat for art and animation, which is all the more fascinating considering
that games are a medium in which creativity is often heavily influenced by
economy. In the process of making my first game for DEI, a somber adventure
tale called "Icarus," I discovered many of the subtle, challenging ways that 2D
animation for games can differ from film or television. Many of these
differences were things I had casually observed as a player, but taken for
granted. For one thing, two frames can go a lot farther in games than in
traditional animation. Even in an old-school pixel-art title like Chrono
Trigger, which was and still is considered a blockbuster in terms of production
values, you can usually count the number of frames in any given character
action on one hand. A walk cycle might be four frames, a punch, slightly more
or less. As Douglas Adams might say: That's not the reduction of it, that's the
beauty of it.</span></i></span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><i><span>Nowadays, games can and do look like
anything their creators might wish; but as our panelists will tell you, whether
your art style is made of polygons or looks like it was hand-drawn with ink and
watercolor paint, special consideration must be given to user input and how the
onscreen visuals are interpreted as part of the "flow" of gameplay.
Our panelists will be addressing these sorts of artistic and technical
challenges, as well as their experiences moving from linear, traditional forms
of animation to the interactive medium. We hope to see you there!</span></i></span></span></div>

desire to “get into the game industry” are often unclear about the specific
role they are aspiring to fill. Modern game development teams are divided into
fairly specific disciplines including: producers, artists, designers,
programmers, etc. We will look at what a typical “game programming” student
would experience, by walking through the development and modification of a
small C++, DirectX 11 game.</span></span></span></blockquote>
