What is the greatest videogame of all time?
Hello everyone, I am Ericwinner. There are many different game systems such as Xbox 360, Wii, Playstation, and so on. There can't be a favorite game with all these game systems but there can be a favorite game in opinion by one system. My favorite games for Xbox 360 would be Modern Warfare 2 and Halo 3. Then again there are new games coming out so we will keep are heads up.
Which is better Zelda or final fantasy?
It all depends on opinion. Mario has lots of games, of all different types, and are usually for all ages. Legend of Zelda usually has a lot more plot than Mario, and the games are usually harder and meant for teens and older.
Can you use action replay ds for a Nintendo DSi?
No, unfortunately not. Any multi-card game that isn't made by nintendo, or any game in fact that isn't made by nintendo, is considered "copyright" and the dsi has blocks for "copyright games" so long story short, no.

A tool is something that is used to do work. A person who is "a tool" is someone who is controlled by someone else, and is doing some kind of dirty work that the other person does not want to do.

What are Xploder V4 Final Fantasy XII codes?
X-Ploder is a cheat system, not endorsed by sony, that you put in the ps2 and select cheats for your game. You then bot your game and the cheats word. :) The codes themselves are what you must input into a save in your memory card (there are lots on the disk to start with), all codes are in hexidecimal format.

The 3DS uses the exact same charge cable that is used on the DSi and DSi XL (Part #WPA-002). You can charge the unit either with the cable alone or on the cradle, which the cable plugs into.
How is math involved in video game designing?
Making video games requires several key skills, all of which require some knowledge of math. Occupations in the video game field are divided into several professions. One of these skills or professions is a game programmer/programming. The following is an example of the Programming Language used in Microsoft.XNA.*:
double angle = MathHelper.TwoPi / points;
pointList = new VertexPositionNormalTexture[points + 1];
pointList[0] = new VertexPositionNormalTexture(
Vector3.Zero, Vector3.Forward, Vector2.One);
for (int i = 1; i <= points; i++)
{
pointList[i] = new VertexPositionNormalTexture(
new Vector3(
(float)Math.Round(Math.Sin(angle * i), 4),
(float)Math.Round(Math.Cos(angle * i), 4),
0.0f),
Vector3.Forward,
This function is used in Microsofts XNA dev kit to render a 3d primitive in 3d space. You will see subsets and templating here but it is very HELPFUL to know what these functions do.
So with Math.Round obviously rounds, Math.Sin and Math.Cos are Trig./Geometry functions that times the angle of a triangle with the integer length of a side between angles, which will give you 3d coordinates so the computer/console knows where and how to render the object relative to the rendering window(what appears on screen/FOV).
If you want to make games it is true that you do not need to be a rocket scientist or an English major, however, knowing math and having a strong ability with it is pretty much necessary.
I recommend:
Physics (Whats a game with no real life laws?)
Linear Algebra
Algebra 1 & 2 (minimum)
Geometry
With the above skills in hand you could build your own game engine. Now if you are going to buy middleware to handle all math functions you would more and likely be able to make it with Alg. 1 and 2.
Talk with your advisor as they will know more just never accept an answer that says you don't need to know math to develop games or any software as these are false in an industry that is BOUND by math.
Oh and further, take a look at RAYCASTING and you will clearly see why understanding math is important.

Answer: Depends on what log.
Answer: You should use a runescape skill calculator for this kind of questions. Do a Google search for those terms (runescape skill calculator), you will find several. However, to get a quick idea, a yew log (the best and most expensive log in free-to-play) gives you 202.5 firemaking experience; you need about 13 million experience (total) for level 99.
What is the newest game console?
Currently the industry is in the seventh generation of console hardware. There are three main competing consoles: The Nintendo Wii, Microsoft Xbox 360, and the Sony PlayStation 3.
Microsoft's Xbox 360 was released on November 22, 2005.
Sony PlayStation 3 released on November 11, 2006.
The Nintendo Wii was released on November 19, 2006.
The Wii was relased last so that would make it the "newest" video game console.

hi,
yes xbox 360's do burn out if you leave them on for to long they crash and turn themself off if this happens leave them for about 10 mins and it should work. just for future references if you ever get 1-3 rings of death DO NOT do the towel trick because recently i was recommended to do this, but cause i new nothing about it i tried it, it worked but the next week i got the red ring of death again so i tried the towel trick it worked and the same thing happened so i tried the towel trick and this was were the problem happened i turned on my xbox and within 10 seconds it turned itself of, it turned out to be that the towel trick burns a few pins in the motherboard of the xbox therefore the xbox beleives it's overheating so it keeps on turning itself off. there is no possible way to fix this as i sent it offf to Microsoft they couldn't fix it i sent it to my repair man and trust me he knows every trick in the book about xbox's he nows most glitches, he knows how to repair about 95% of problems in the xbox 360 and he said the only way you can play xbox 360 again is your going to have to get a new one. so just in case NEVER EVER TRY THE TOWEL TRICK.
