Games storyline idea
by aki 13 Mar '10

13 Mar '10

I've done some storyline for my game. Maybe 2D but long time to go, lets see if I can manage anything over the next 12 months, still very early days....I wrote this down and looked at some of the objects and classes. Kazi mengi but seems much more interesting. Any games developers on the list? Share any insights....graphics, sounds etc Game Storyline : Kenyan Sniper ( 6:30pm - Dusk ) The year is 2065 and some parts of kenya are under attack. Special Forces Tactical group " Camp Delta " are assigned to take out specific targets in outlying areas. Max ( could be another name too ), is a sniper within the group and has already reached his assignment area and in position on the ground. Max is about to face his toughest assignment so far. He has seen his target through the scope, however it is well guarded and the few enemy are equally smart and trained. *Max is in a dilema. He is alone and if he takes out the target, he gives away his position and all hell breaks loose.....!! But the instructions were clear ; ENGAGE. The firefight begins...... * And the game starts here. A game play timer of 5 minutes play, during which Max ( you as the player ) will face various incoming situations. Ammo is not unlimited as the use of a sniper rifle ( not a machine gun ) nor are any health levels.........

Re: [Skunkworks] Programming and decisions
by James Mutuku 13 Mar '10

Hi, Separate work from "play". You give the client what they want---that is work. During play time I play around with ideas, learn new things, "innovate"(miss using the word?). What I do during play time comes in handy when a clients hands you a "problem" and you propose solutions. Programming and any other "true" leaning never ends. (ref: http://norvig.com/21-days.html) And I don't think anything you ever learn is never a waste. Even if you never implement it, just learning something sharpens your learning and problem solving skills. And yes...learning is a skill developed over a period of time -- Best Regards, James Mutuku Ndeti Agile Systems Limited +254722490994 www.agile.co.ke mutuku.wordpress.com Has your organization implemented a customer relationship management (CRM)system? visit http://www.agile.co.ke/crm.php and find out how our CRM can help you achieve better customer satisfaction and sales

[Job Advert] Market research request & potential job opportunities
by wesley kirinya 05 Mar '10

05 Mar '10

I hope I'm not breaking the rules on this one (there was a debate on this a while back but I don't know how it ended). Below are details: Hi Wesley, Here's a summary of what Markets Speaking would need to be able to help a potential client of ours in a research project in rural Kenya. Markets Speaking is a new and entrepreneurial market research company focussing on African markets. I'm one of the founders of the company, pls read more about what we do at www.marketsspeaking.com. We would need to employ between 10 and 20 people in a short term project to collect data from 200-300 Kenyan households. The data will pertain to energy consumption on a household level and access to clean water, among other topics. The ideal profile is: - students in any academic field, preferably final year students at universities Nairobi - fresh graduates who have the time to participate part time in the project for approximately 3 weeks - surveying experience is preferable, even from college/university projects - sociable, finding it comfortable interviewing people you don't know - willing and able to travel in rural parts of the country and perhaps stay over 1 or 2 nights We will also need to partner with someone who can act as a local project manager for the duration of project. This person has an academic background and project management/management experience, documented capability to deliver on time, organised and structured, preferably good with basic statistics (from own research experience in academic or business settings). Markets Speaking has a presence in Sweden and Ghana today and we're looking to expand to Kenya. If we get this project, and it is carried out successfully, we would be looking into identifying a start-up team to establish Markets Speaking in Kenya. N.B. that we need to prove that we have access to a potential team in Kenya in order to get this project! Anyone interested in getting involved, pls get in touch during the weekend (with a short list of background/experiences), preferably before Sunday night. I need to submit a first project draft Monday morning. My contact details are +46707794966 (mobile phone, Sweden) and e-mail is geraldine(a)marketsspeaking.com. Asante sana Geraldine (I'm half Kenyan but my Swahili is terrible since I've lived abroad since I was 3!) Ps. Wesley, can I list you as one of my contacts in Nairobi when I speak to my potential client on Monday? I know you are very very busy but it wouldn't mean you need to do anything at all, just a small formality. Thanks a million for offering to help spread this information. -- Geraldine Joseph +46 70 779 49 66 +233 265 43 78 36 www.marketsspeaking.com
