DRAFT - Schelling's Segregation Solitaire Sexism Simulator

These are the adorable Polygon People.

They're 50% Triangles, 50% Squares, and 100% slightly biased against each other.

Emphasis on the word slightly. A Polygon would be happy with an even 50/50 split of neighbours of different types, but if less than 33% of their neighbours are like them, they will be unhappy, and want to move somewhere else.

"Do and Show and Tell"

###Do & Show & Tell

Don't try to explain everything with something interactive. Use interactivity only when interactivity works best, otherwise, supplement it with text & images. Also keep in mind the overlaps of Do & Show & Tell: when text interacts with the diagrams (e.g. Tangle), and vice versa.

Text: Best at describing very abstract concepts.
Graphs: Best at showing broad relationships at a glance.
Animations: Best at showing temporal relationships.
Interactives: Best at showing processes, systems, models. (See final slide on Procedural Rhetoric)

A little speech for The Public Domain Jam

A SPEECH FOR THE PD JAM

  • (a couple of paragraphs, nothing too big unless you want to)
  • why you're donating the prize money
  • your thoughts on public domain / creative commons, and the jam.
  • It'd be a great little speech to have up on the page, and it'd give some pull quotes for the blogs to use.

A richer public domain means more creativity. If you're a glass-half-empty person, then you might point out the inverse is truer today. And you'd be right. Our shrinking public domain is limiting humanity's true potential.

Full credits list for Nothing To Hide's sound effects
All sound effects come from Freesound.org, and I've made a conscious
effort to only pick the sounds that are under actual Free Culture licenses.
So, mostly CC-Zero, some CC-BYs, but never CC-NC's, because screw that.

Nothing To Hide - Game Mechanics

##Objects List Prisms, Doors, Conveyor Belts, Mannequins, YOU

##Rules

  1. Some Prisms activate objects (see #2 & #3) when they see a human. (see #4)
  2. Doors block line of sight and movement, and a Prism activates them. (see #1)
  3. Conveyor Belts move objects like you, Prisms, and Mannequins. They are also activated by Prism Eyes. (see #1)
