DARQ is a fantastic 2D side-scrolling puzzle-platform adventure game where you guide a little boy through a mysterious and sometimes scary dream world. By defying gravity, walking on walls and manipulating the environment, you must solve different types of puzzles and avoid enemies along the way.
With its nice puzzles, great atmosphere, nice graphics and gameplay, DARQ is certainly fun to play and I can only recommend it to any (hard-boiled) puzzle-adventure fan.
Carto is a beautiful puzzle adventure game in which you follow a little girl called Carto on her journey to get back to her grandmother. By discovering and assembling different pieces of her map, the world grows piece by piece as the adventure unfolds.
This was certainly a fun adventure with some nice map-building puzzles to solve.
I can definitely recommend it for some relaxed couch-potato gaming.
Last week I was at the 2024 IEEE Quantum Week in Montreal, Canada, to represent Munich Quantum Valley (MQV) with a special focus on its quantum-software activities and the Munich Quantum Software Stack (MQSS).
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.
