Buddha Day Buddha Day is also known as Wesak and is one of the most celebrated Buddhist festivals. Celebrations of the birth of Buddha take place on the full moon in May and for some Buddhists it is also a mark of his death. Buddha translates into “one who is awake” and therefore is enlightened. The term is used to describe a person who has gained supreme wisdom and compassion of Enlightenment and is viewed as a blessed state of being. Buddha disciples Many of Buddha's disciples have attained Enlightenment, and there have been many other Enlightened teachers.

Scrolling shooter is a kind of game that them game world scrolls horizontally or vertically across the screen as the game progresses.

Whenever you ask people to brainstorm for you, I can guarantee that you get many crazy ideas as "pie in the sky." If you are faced with a very creative opportunity, it's easy to let the enthusiasm get the better of you, of course, it should be easier for you to spot the ideas that are impossible or just too much work. Be gentle with your collaborators and try to bring them down to earth without too much of a bump. If you reject all their ideas before they finish their sentence, they'll quickly stop continuing! Explain how the same idea might be turned into something more feasible, and don't dismiss any ideas until you've finished the brainstorming process. It's worth keeping everyone brainstorming, as it's often the case that people who have the craziest idea eventually come up with brilliant idea that no one else would thought of.

Reading The Game Maker's Apprentice, a nice book for beginners, by jacob Habgood, and Mark Overmars. (Their surnames sound a bit strange, Over Mars? Is he an alien?) While I am reading along, I suddenly feel game making is as easy as playing a game, just by drag-and-drop thanks to the simple interface the developer's tool called Game Maker. Object oriented programming jargons are explained inside the game making procedure, and become easy-understood concepts. Now I am at chapter 5, I would like to share with you their list of the main game genres: Action games, such as sport, combat,racing; Simulator games, such as flight sims; Strategy games, e.g. War game, puzzle games; Adventure games, e.g., point-and click, usually let player interact at their own pace, providing short-term puzzle-based challenges and long-term story-led challenges. Rol-playing games, such as online RPGs. Sent from my BlackBerry® wireless device

The ancient Celtic peoples of north-west Europe celebrated New Year around the start of November. As Christianity spread in the Celtic lands during the ninth century, the Celtic festival was used as a base for a new Christian Holy day. So 1 November was made All saints' day, or All Hallows. One hundred and fifty years later, the Christian Church chose 2 November as All Souls' Day. On All Souls' Day Christians remember those who have died and pray that their souls may enter Heaven. Despite the Christian Church's efforts, Celtic tradition continued in a festival that became known as Hallowe'en. This is held on 31 October, the evening of All Hallows. Is the suffix -e'en meant evening? Like that in Christmas Eve? Sent from my BlackBerry® wireless device
