Papetura is a beautifully made point-and-click adventure game where you follow/guide two little creatures along their journey to save their papery world from pyromanic monsters.
The game is set in some really nice done scenes – who creation process is quite unique (see video on YouTube) and you will have to solve a number of puzzles to lead the protagonists to victory.
A somewhat short, but certainly enjoyable little adventure game!
Partly in my spare time and partly in my working time, I designed and coded the website for this year’s Open Day in Garching.
I had already built the site for last year’s event, but due to the much larger number of participating institutes, chairs and companies, this time I added a system to filter all the activities on campus based on language, target audience, formats and tags.
The site uses WordPress along with some modifications to both the theme and the code.
As part of our support for the event, the MQV team has been collecting and filling in all the information and content for all the activities. The design elements for the Open Day were provided by mattweis and I adopted them up for the website design.
There is still a lot of content to be added, but you can already get an idea of what to expect from the Open Day, which will take place on 3 October 2024 from 10am to 5pm.
MQV will be present with a booth and presentations at the LRZ: Leibniz Supercomputing Centre. Feel free to pass by to learn about MQV and the website ;)
In addition Build Your Own Particle Detector will be present, along with the Belle II and ATLAS Experiment, at the booth of the cluster of excellence ORIGINS.
About twenty years ago, in July 2004, I started a little – now long gone – blogspot.com weblog, mainly to document and share my ERASMUS experience in Copenhagen.
You are now looking at what it has become over the years…
Monument Valley and Monument Valley 2 are indie puzzle games with an isometric view in which you have to guide your main characters through mazes of optical illusions and impossible objects, manipulating the world around them in order to reach different platforms.
The puzzles are not particularly challenging, but very entertaining and soothing to play. It was great fun to solve the puzzles and enjoy the magical illusions. So if you are looking for a little lightweight distraction, these games are for you …
Earlier this year I took on the task of reviving my son’s high school website. Now we have finally reached the point where the school has decided to officially move from the old and outdated site to this new one.
After another less successful attempt by someone else to relaunch the site, we decided to go for a slimmer and simpler approach this time to minimise maintenance.
Using WordPress, I derived a minimally modified but dedicated child theme based on Twenty Twenty and wrote a bit of PHP, Javascript and HTML/CSS code to adapt the site to the needs and wishes of the school staff.
Some content still needs to be added, but the site is already more functional and complete than the old one, so the school decided to launch it at their summer party today.
I will continue to support the school team with maintenance, development and working on the long list of ideas we still have for the site. These include updating some of the images in collaboration with the photography course and better integrating the school newspaper and other school projects.
