| A video game is an electronic game that involves interaction with a user interface to generate visual feedback on a video device. The word video in video game traditionally referred to a raster display device.[1] However, with the popular use of the term "video game", it now implies any type of display device. The electronic systems used to play video games are known as platforms; examples of these are personal computers and video game consoles. These platforms range from large mainframe computers to small handheld devices. Specialized video games such as arcade games, while previously common, have gradually declined in use.,,The input device used to manipulate video games is called a game controller, and varies across platforms. For example, a dedicated console controller might consist of only a button and a joystick. Another may feature a dozen buttons and one or more joysticks. Early personal computer games often needed a keyboard for gameplay, or more commonly, required the user to buy a separate joystick with at least one button.[2] Many modern computer games allow, or even require, the player to use a keyboard and mouse simultaneously. |

I have done what I'd said I'd never do...
I really hate to do this, but certain stories are now going to be F-Locked. For now, only 'Whipping Boy', my Hellsing fanfic is affected by this. However, as I do tend to lean towards the dark side of things, this could affect any number of my stories. The reason? -One. I've already got a separate c ...
CODE-jQuery Client-Side多國語系切換設計之Server端補充包
前陣子，我提出一個 以jQuery實作網頁多語系切換的點子，主張透過UI.htm維護文字對照表，提供js以Class註記加查表的方式，讓網頁可直接呈現預設語系文字(傳統上要將可切換文字全都換成代碼，可讀性大減)，再用對照方式查出並置換為其他語系內容。 同事 迫於我的淫威在了解該架構的便利性後，開始逐步在專案中試用。今天同事MSN給我，許了一個願: 呼叫ml("預設語系文字內容")傳回其他語系對照的做法在寫Javascript時很好用，但很希望在aspx.cs端也提供相同功能!! 身為 始作俑者元件供應者，幫開發人員實現心願是責無旁貸的使命，所以花了點時間寫了jQueryMultiLangAge ...
