Off-the-shelf camera hacked to grab high-speed video (New Scientist) — scientists used a chip from a home cinema projector to record 400fps on consumer video hardware. They put the chip, which has tiny moving mirrors, in front of the digital camera and it directs the incoming light sequentially over a grid of pixels in the digital camera, meaning that each of the digital camera’s frames contains 16 samples (frames) of the picture. You lose resolution but gain frames/second. (via viksnewsclippings)

I’ve separated out the game logic from the Java source into a file parsed by a rules engine. This means we can easily view the game design, without it getting muddled with too much implementation code.
