(m)\n\nDefense of the Ancients, commonly known as DotA, is an Aeon of Strife-style custom map created for the game Warcraft 3 (by Blizzard Entertainment). Originally developed for Warcraft 3: Reign of Chaos (RoC) by Eul (US West), the map was later unofficially ported into the Warcraft 3 expansion pack, The Frozen Throne (TFT). Currently, several variants of the map exist under the name of DotA.

You need to learn Java coding, especially client/server stuff and low-level sockets stuff. If you want to do it for free, you'll have to run the server on your own box. You'll also need to look at Swing and some way of creating a graphics engine. It'd be a lot of work - games these days are typically created by big teams.

There are many programs which people use to make games.\n\nSome use a commercial computer language compiler (such as C++ or Visual Basic), some use a customized compiler for their particular system (to ensure fast execution.) some will even use machine language or an assembler.\n\nyou can make your own games using game maker:\n\nhttp://www.cs.uu.nl/people/markov/gmaker/download.html

basketball game played generally indoors by two opposing teams of five players each. Basketball was conceived in 1891 by Dr. James Naismith, a physical education instructor at the YMCA college in Springfield, Mass., as a way to condition outdoor athletes during the winter months. His original list of 13 rules has undergone a century of revision, leading to faster pacing and greater athleticism.\n\nThere more information in the link below.

Game origin\nHopscotch began in ancient Britain during the early Roman Empire. The original hopscotch courts were over 100 feet long! Can you imagine that? They were used for military training exercises. \n"Hey, Claudius! how bout a game of Hopscotch?" "Okay Brutus, but first I have to put my gear on! Hang a minute and wait for me?" \n\nRoman foot soldiers ran the course in full armor and field packs, and it was thought that Hopscotch would improve their foot work. Roman children imitated the soldiers by drawing their own boards, and creating a scoring system, and "Hopscotch" spread through Europe. In France the game is called "Marelles", in Germany, "Templehupfen" (try saying that three times fast!) "Hinklebaan" in the Netherlands (probably played with Heineken beer cans) "Ekaria Dukaria" (played while while watching Daria) in India, "Pico" in Vietnam, and "Rayuela in Argentina." \n\nIn order to begin the game, each player must start with a marker. Common stones were used in the days of the Roman Empire, but in more modern times, items such as bean bags, pennies, and other assorted items were used. \n\nHopscotch boards were usually found in playgrounds, but if there weren't any, a good piece of chalk could easily remedy that. \n\nHow to Play Hopscotch\nThe first player tosses her marker into the first square. The marker must land completely within the designated square and without touching a line or bouncing out. If the marker lands in the wrong square, the player forfeits her turn. If the marker is successful, the player hops through the court beginning on square one. Side by side the squares are straddled, with the left foot landing in the left square, and the right foot landing in the right square. Single squares must be hopped on one foot. For the first single square, either foot may be used. Squares marked "Safe" "Home" or "Rest" are neutral squares, and may be hopped through in any manner without penalty. \n\nWhen a player reaches the end of the court, she turns around and hops back through the court, moving through the squares in reverse order and stopping to pick up her marker on the way back. Upon successfully completing the sequence, the player continues his turn by tossing his marker into square number two, and repeating the pattern. \n\nIf while hopping through the court in either direction, the player steps on a line, misses a square, or loses her balance, her turn ends. The player starts on her next turn where the player last left off. the first player to complete one course for every numbered square on the court wins the game.

(m)\n\nSoftball originated in Chicago on Thanksgiving Day, 1887. A group of about twenty young men had gathered in the gymnasium of the Farragut Boat Club in order to hear the outcome of the Harvard-Yale football game. After Yale's victory was announced and bets were paid off, a man picked up a stray boxing glove and threw it at someone, who hit it with a pole.\n\n George Hancock, usually considered the inventor of softball, shouted, "Let's play ball!" He tied the boxing glove so that it resembled a ball, chalked out a diamond on the floor (smaller dimensions than those of a baseball field in order to fit the gym) and broke off a broom handle to serve as a bat. What proceeded was an odd, smaller version of baseball. That game is now, 111 years later, known as the first softball game. Softball may have seen its death on the day of its birth if Hancock had not been so fascinated by it. In one week, he created an oversized ball and an undersized rubber-tipped bat and went back to the gym to paint permanent white foul lines on the floor. After he wrote new rules and named the sport indoor baseball, a more organized, yet still new, game was played. Its popularity was immediate.

Lots of coding (programming) and computer graphics and planning. I suspect that there are getting to be very sophisticated tools to enable programmers to create fancier games with less effort, but it is still a lot of effort, and requires great technical skills. Development of the tools probably requires a lot of mathematics and physics knowledge.

That's the basic idea. The thing is, we've found through usage stats and talking to a lot of our users, that getting everyone together for a draft isn't the easiest thing. That is, some people have computers, some don't, some are on conference calls, some like to just have pizza's together and a few beverages...and our live draft tool didn't cover those scenarios (everyone needs easy access to a computer).\n\nSo the offline draft tool is an easy way for users to enter draft results from one computer (the commish usually enters the draft results). We've updated the draft tool to be easier for the commish to enter players per team from a usability standpoint. But it's also been designed to help the commish track the draft as it's happening (instead of having to write the data down, then enter it, they can enter it). This supports the draft where there might be one screen projected on the wall while people eat and drink and work on their smack talk...

wow... too much stretching of the old memory here...\nthere was something about a game, kind of a ring toss sort of thing, that oblio & arrow were really good at despite oblio's "pointlessness"... am I close?\n\nedit: it was triangle toss... darned obsessive curiosity...

Basket ball was invented at Springfield, Mass. (home of the hall of fame) by a school teacher who wanted to add recreation by allowing children to throw a ball through a basket held at an elevation well above the children.  I understand it was something like a peach basket with the bottom removed.\n\nIn high school, I played on an intramural basketball team called the "Slowfoot Five" and we had an undefeated season (even though I did not score a single point - but I was tall).  I did save one game by preventing forfeiture when our star player had to be late (that was my job!).  Our shortest player Russy (shortest in our school) saved one game in the last few seconds when he lobbed a ball in a high arc the full lenght of the half-court we played and scored the winning basket that landed like a coin and took its time to fall through.  But he beat the Ref.'s whistle and we won by one point.  Thus the game was evolved to provide lots of excitement.  Good luck.

Because the MLB Players Association signed an exclusive third party development deal with Take2, and only they have the rights to create new MLB games using actual player names and images to be issued for consoles.\n\nSony was able to make their own game just for the PS2 this year, because they're in-house game development is considered first party.

It was created by JRR Tolkien in his books The Hobbit and the Lord of the Rings, and the Silmarillion.  However, if you pay attention to the forewards and prologues, they indicate that Tolkien ( a language professor) simply TRANSLATED those books from the original ELVISH language.  Believe what you wish to believe.
