M2 & D2

Lesson Objectives

Describe mobile technologies (M2) & evaluate their suitability for game play (D2) 

Lesson Outcomes

Merit - Describe 3 mobile technologies for game platforms

Distinction - Evaluate the suitability of 5 mobile technologies for game play.

Create a report on the different mobile technologies for game platforms and how suitable they are for game play. Look at the mobile technologies used in different game platforms (specificity & handheld mobile). The technologies can be ones identified in the learning outcome of new technologies.

It is important for all technologies you comment on how they affect GAME PLAY and PLAYABILITY.

Mobile Platforms

• iPhones

• Blackberry

• Android phones

• Hybrid machines

• Cellular phones

• iPads

• Other

Add this to the report on hardware technologies for game play.

Unit 15 - P2 Hardware Technologies

Learners will need to describe at least six of the hardware technologies identified in the teaching content for learning outcome 2 describing their features.

http://frogserver/?d=207615

• human-computer interface e.g. devices; button configurations; user-centred, interactivity;

• processor (e.g. types; speed;)

• graphic processor (e.g. types; speed; pixels, polygons, nurbs)

• memory (e.g. capacity, RAM type, unified)

• display (e.g. built-in/external; colour/monochrome)

• sound (e.g. hardware (Cards and processors), mono/ stereo/3D/surround, memory)

• game storage e.g. medium (DVD, UMD), standard, size

• interfaces (e.g. paddle, wheel, joystick, 360 kinect, voice)

• mobile technologies (e.g. phones/smartphones, PSP, DS, iPad)

• connectivity (e.g. stand alone; controller ports; network, internet, wireless, Bluetooth)

• power supply (e.g. internal and external) 

Example

A learner might note, ‘The joystick is a widely recognised game peripheral. Joysticks give analogue output by rotating potentiometers. Analogue signals must be converted to digital for use by the game platform.’
