Common examples in platform games include the ability to start moving horizontally or change direction in mid-air and the double jump ability found in some games. Setting the values of physical parameters, such as the amount of gravity present, is also a part of defining the game physics of a particular game.
The Select-a-Game uses a 7 x 16 vacuum fluorescent display (VFD) array of large dots as the main display. [1] It can display two colors, red and blue. These are combined with static overlays for each game. Together they make up the display. The system is basically a display and controller for the games with no built-in processor power. Each ...

When Glaucus goes to Circe to request a love potion that will win Scylla's affections, the ...
A single, tiny source of light can be located much better than the resolution of a microscope usually allows for: although the light will produce a blurry spot, computer algorithms can be used to accurately calculate the center of the blurry spot, taking into account the point spread function of the microscope, the noise properties of the ...
This was a MSX compatible machine. [1] [11] In 1985 the SVI-738, also MSX compatible was released. [1] The machine came with a built-in 360 KB 3.5" floppy drive. [12] The last computer produced by Spectravideo was the SVI-838 (also known as Spectravideo X'Press 16), released in 1986. [1] It was compatible with both the PC and MSX2 standards. [13]
