Real Time Strategy

Real-time strategy is a game genre. RTS games are usually from a third person perspective, and in these games you control a number of soldiers in warlike scenarios games are constantly running and you have to focus on different attributes at the same time. Newer RTS games allow you to compete against others over the internet or LAN and battle all over the world. As opposed to turn based strategy games where the player takes turn when fighting against enemies.

Functions

A function is a group of statements that together perform a task. Every C++ program has at least one function, which is main (), and most programs can define more than one function. A function is made up of 3 parts. The return type which is used to return a specific line of code, for example the Boolean return type would make a function that is supposed to call back a true or false statement. The next part is the function name which is what you place in order to call the function later on. The final part of the function is the parameter or the instructions for the function to run. There are 3 steps to using a function, you have to declare, define and finally use the function. A function declaration tells the compiler about a function's name, return type, and parameters. A function definition provides the actual body of the function and this is where you set up the instructions to the function. After all is said and done you are now capable of using the function as you please.

Drawing Instructions

Picture a bridge above a pond covered in lily pads. The bridge is slightly curved upward and there are lots of trees in the background. The picture is drawn down stream and you'll want to draw the bridge from its side. There are lots of flower on the lily pads and it appears to be spring or summer as all the trees are green

Return Value and Parameters

Return values are the type of input you are to place inside your function such as Boolean returning true or false, or ones like void return statements which aren't suppose to return anything in particular to the user. Parameters are sort of the instructions of the function they define what exactly you want your function to run such as  a Beep functions pitch and volume or a messageBox functions inner message and the title of the box.

Post Scarcity Economy

The post scarcity economy is the idea that we have found a way to make our resources last much longer and for a lot cheaper. The issue with this is that with materials being cheap the need for manpower will no longer be necessary and this will leave everyone in a place where they no longer need to work which leaves the question what exactly are we supposed to do as a species. We have gotten by all these years by allowing everyone the opportunity to work in one aspect or another but in a world where there is no need what will we turn to? Possibly we will become a solely creative species that spends all our time finding new ways to entertain ourselves until our demise. I don't think  the 3D printer will change to much in our life time but it may be able to print at faster speeds as technology continues to advance into the future. In actuality a post scarcity would never actually occur as all materials are scarce and we will eventually run out but the idea itself is fun to play around with.

Question

What was the first gaming computer answer in the comments below.
Hint (A type of rod)

PUTTY

Putty is an old operating system that requires the user to use the keyboard in order to input anything. There are certain words that allow the user to enter programs such as notepad and email.
Here are some of the codes.

Pine-Email
Pico-NotePad
Zork-Plays Zork
Moon- Moon Buggy
Tetris-Tetris
etc.

What are while loops?

While loops are loops that continue to run as long as the condition is true. The loop will continue to run until the program is cancelled or until the statement is no longer true. A thing to consider with while loops is that the loop should end at some point.These kinds of loops are perfect for games and allow the game to end when attributes such as lives run out or when a timer runs down.

Zork Review

Zork is a text based adventure game like that of Colossal Cave Adventure and other old games of it's era which were pretty popular for the time considering that there were two games to come after it.

Graphics:
You're not seriously looking for graphics in a text based adventure I hope. You kind of have to imagine everything in your head like reading an interactive book but i'll assume you knew better.

Sounds:
Again its a texted based adventure, I'm sure there are ways to incorporate sounds into the game one way or another but in this case and at the point in time that it was made they were pretty limited with what they could do.

Controls:
You type in directions such as the Cardinal Direction (North,South,East,West) and other commands such as get,open,look. A lot of the game is finding out what you can and cant do based on the commands you put in.

Replayability:
I haven't played through the game completely but most of the fun comes from figuring out how to beat the game. I think once you go through the game once you really get a sense for what you are suppose to do and it's nice to see how fast you can get through it a second time.

Fun:
I think they are really fun games since you have to work hard to learn what items you have to get first and where you have to go to use those items in order to get through it.

I give Zork an 8/10.

Moon Buggy Review

This is my review of the Unix game Moon Buggy:

Graphics: Moon Buggy is an old school OS game meaning the graphics are nothing more than text symbols such as pound symbols for the ground, @ symbols for the wheels of the buggy and a mixture of numbers and letters for everything else.

Sounds:

There aren't any sounds for this game because its pretty bare bones it's all game play.

Replay-ability:
The object is to see how far you can get in terms of levels personally I got to about level 2 before I decided I loved myself enough not to play anymore of this game it really irritated me to no end and I had no desire to keep playing. The only reason you would ever want to is if you enjoy making yourself upset for no reason.
Controls
You press space to jump L to shoot lasers if you ever happen to get far enough to shoot anything and patience in order to go farther.
Fun
I personally wouldn't go out looking to play it again but you know you do you I guess. I wont stop you but there are better games and even better ways to spend your time.

My final score for the game is a No thanks out of 10.

For loop Breakdown

The for loop is a loop for when you know the number of repeats in advance. The for loop is made up of 3 different parts, the starting index or what number you want to start at (int i =0;). The starting point is used to decide where you number will count up or down. The next part of the code is the ending point from the start to the end from (i =0) to (i<10) which means the number will stop at 10. the final part is the counter depending on whether it goes up or down (i++) in this case it means i which is 0 plus 1 up to 10.
