Zurker Rocks – A Social Network of the members and by the members

Be the owner of a fast growing Social Nertwork. Join, invite friends and own

We found Zurker a worthy Social Networking site with huge potential. I invite you too to join and enjoy. One of the great things about Zurker is that you can own a stake in it.

You can Invite your friends to Zurker after joining! Not only will your experience be more enjoyable, but you will be rewarded in the form of vShares. (vShares are a stake in Zurker. Specifically, vShares are units of equity in the Zurker Project allocated to members during alpha and beta testing. While vShares are a form of ownership, vShares shouldn’t be confused with shares or stock, as Zurker isn’t a public company yet. vShares can be thought of as agreements between the owners of a startup about the size of their stake in the enterprise to be incorporated. Such agreements are common amongst founding investors whenever a business is launched; however, with hundreds of thousands of investors owning vShares in Zurker, the number of owners is larger than usual.)

Zurker vShares become more and more valuable as the number of people using Zurker increases. The more people you refer, the more vShares you own, the more valuable those vShares become, and the more fun using Zurker becomes for you. It’s a win-win-win!

The Chipmunk Physics Engine on PSP

Videos have been uploaded on Youtube about the latest version of Chipmunk Physics engine on the Sony Playstation Portable console as the gaming trend takes a turn towards technology which combines law of physics with the excitement of gaming. It is a portable open source two dimensional rigid body physics library distributed under the MIT licence. With an independent OS and thoughtfully written in C99 by Scot Lembecke, Chimpunk is intended to be lightning fast, portable, numerically stable and easy to use.

There are different kinds of body forms such as rigid, soft and fluid which in turn have their own dynamics and physical systems. For example; the movement of water into a container is different from the movement of a rigid pot falling onto a slope. A Physics Engine is computer software that provides an approximate simulation of these physical systems in domains of computer graphics, video games and film.  The main uses are in video games as middleware and the simulations in this case are real time.

Chipmunk is used in hundreds of games all over the world in just about any system. This technology is used effectively by Sony to improve the usability of the portable Playstation console. The PSP games that currently use the Chipmunk physics engine are Stakker, Anti-Tetris and Brix DS. Stakker PSP is a fun game of building up and destroying towers made out of falling blocks. The motto of the game is to build up towers without letting any piece fall off and after reaching a certain height; it is to be destroyed with a projectile coming from the left for points. Anti-Tetris is a visual reproduction of Game boy Tetris and is based on the physics engine which allows the gamer to fasten and slow down the fall of the pieces at will.

With Brix DS, the objective is to remove all the bricks of grey level without dropping the dynamites to the ground. The gamer would encounter different types of bricks throughout various levels as the physics engine makes movement of the bricks realistic. Many game developers are now using the Chipmunk Physics engine to develop first person shooter games and various other games across various genres. Chipmunk seems to have opened a new door to seamless opportunities in the multi-billion dollar gaming industry.

Environmental Science Lab

What is Environmental Science Lab?

Wikipedia says-

Environmental science is an interdisciplinary academic field that integrates physical and biological sciences, (including but not limited to Ecology, Physics, Chemistry, Biology, Soil Science, Geology, Atmospheric Science and Geography) to the study of the environment, and the solution of environmental problems. Environmental science provides an integrated, quantitative, and interdisciplinary approach to the study of environmental systems

In India Environmental studies is an integral Part of the Primary School Curriculum.
