Simulation bio-earth-space game Spore coming

Simulation game spore is coming. Look at links below.
I have never tried the game Sims but I love SimCity, SimFarm, SimEarth, SimLife and used them in my computer camps with Rocky's Boots and Robot Odysey and more. I have not done much with them since the internet really started ramping up.

Says it will come out for Windows (first?).
Boy this Spore sim better come out for mac otherwise I will have to get a new mac or have to play the intel side when Sue gets her new one :)


Hopefully kids will try their hand at this great program then on the drivel many spend their time (with their cheat codes of course!!).

The creator Will Wright says that this "game" uses "procedural" content development. which I liken to my "structured flexiblity thinking."

Will Wright Presents Spore... and a New Way to Think About Games
The legendary game designer presents an alternate way to develop games, and the awesome product of this way of thinking."This isn't so much a game preview as it is a look at new thoughts on game design in full effect."

Will Wright, creator of SimCity and The Sims, says YES. And more than that, he believes he's found a way to make gaming a much more personal experience for everyone it touches. And it won't take hordes of content developers: it'll just take a little savvy and use of what's called

"procedural" content development.

TUTULEMMA: If you took a picture of the sun at the same time each day, would it remain in the same position? The answer is no, and the figure-8 shape traced out by the sun over the course of a year is called an analemma

"I call it a tutulemma," says Tezel. "I invented this word myself. It's a combination of analemma and tutulma (pronounced to-tool-ma), the Turkish word for eclipse."
The eclipse in question is the total eclipse of March 29, 2006: gallery. The path of totality cut through Antalya, Turkey, about 500 km south of Tezel's home in Bursa. Combining images taken from Bursa and Antalya to create a true analemma--and the wo.
Renowned astrophotographer Tunc Tezel and his brother Cenk took dozens of pictures of the sun throughout 2006 and made the analemma, below. Look carefully. One of the suns in the analemma is eclipsed:
