Game Closure Makes it a Breeze to Build Multiplayer, Cross-Platform Games

It’s probably fair to say that most people love the interactive experience of playing realtime multiplayer games, yet perhaps surprisingly, the majority of games on the App Store today are single player. Even the popular social games on Facebook don’t offer the rich experience of the classic multiplayer console games like Halo. This seems largely due to the fact that the coding, synchronizations, and de-buggings required to write multiplayer games can be difficult, time-consuming, and expensive. The same is only more true for multi-platform, multiplayer games.


According to Carter, all studios need to do is learn how to use standard HTML5 technologies and Game Closure will host and deploy their games on every relevant platform. Pretty cool.

媽媽之歌 The Mom Song 附中文字幕//Dadsense 爸爸之歌 附中文字幕

Get up now
Get up now
Get up out of bed
Wash your face
Brush your teeth
Comb your sleepy head
Here's your clothes
And your shoes
Hear the words I said
Get up now
Get up and make your bed
Are you hot?
Are you cold?
Are you wearing that?
Where's your books and your lunch and your homework at?
Grab your coat and your gloves and your scarf and hat
Don't forget you gotta feed the cat
Eat your breakfast
The experts tell us it's the most important meal of all
Take your vitamins so you will grow up one day to be big and tall
Please remember the orthodon'tist will be seeing you at three today?
Don't forget your piano lesson is this afternoon
So you must play
Don't shovel
Chew slowly
But hurry
The bus is here
Be careful
Come back here
Did you wash behind your ears?
Play outside
Don't play rough
Would you just play fair?
Be polite
Make a friend
Don't forget to share
Work it out
Wait your turn
Never take a dare
Get along
Don't make me come down there
Clean your room
Fold your clothes
Put your stuff away
Make your bed
Do it now
Do we have all day?
Were you born in a barn?
Would you like some hay
Can you even hear a word I say?
Answer the phone
Get Off the phone
Don't sit so close
Turn it down
No texting at the table
No more computer time tonight
Your iPod's my iPod if you don't listen up
Where you going and with whom and what time do you think you're coming home?
Saying thank you, please, excuse me
Makes you welcome everywhere you roam
You'll appreciate my wisdom
Someday when you're older and you're grown
Can't wait 'til you have a couple little children of your own
You'll thank me for the counsel I gave you so willingly
But right now
I thank you NOT to roll your eyes at me
Close your mouth when you chew
Would appreciate
Take a bite
Maybe two
Of the stuff you hate
Use your fork
Do not you burp
Or I'll set you straight
Eat the food I put upon your plate
Get an A, Get the door
Don't get smart with me
Get a Grip
Get in here I'll count to 3
Get a job
Get a life
Get a PhD
Get a dose of...
I don't care who started it
You're grounded until your 36
Get your story straight
And tell the truth for once for heaven's sake
And if all your friends jumped off a cliff
Would you jump too?
If I've said it once, I've said at least a thousand times before that
You're too old to act this way
It must be your father's DNA
Look at me when I am talking
Stand up straight when you walk
A place for everything
And everything must be in place
Stop crying or I'll give you something real to cry about
Oh!
Brush your teeth
Wash your face
Get your PJs on
Get in bed
Get a hug
Say a prayer with Mom
Don't forget
I love you
**KISS**
And tomorrow we will do this all again because a mom's work never ends
You don't need the reason why
Because
Because
Because
Because
I said so
I said so
I said so
I said so
I'm the Mom
The mom
The mom
The mom
The mom
Ta-da





And one of the reasons that we got to be on television a little bit more this year, uh, is because of that little video you might have seen, Momsense. (Cheering from the audience) Thank you. Uh, a lot of people saw it and it got a lot of attention, and that’s why I think you should really put your heart and soul into it, and do things the best you can when you are doing it, cause if I had known that video was going to be seen by fifteen million people, I would have sung that a lot better. I was just messing around, didn’t mean it, you know …

So, uh, we got a lot of emails from that. Mothers from all over this country, and quite frankly around the world, uh, it’s been translated. If you going in YouTube and you look, it’s got, like Chinese subtitles, and Spanish, and there is a lady singing in front of, doing that for deaf in ASL (American Sign Language). You know, it’s really cool. Uh, but we got other mails, by the way, from a lot of guys, who said to us what about the dads? (Can’t really tell what she is mumming about) No, no, no, no, really, seriously, guys are like, we talk to our kids too. I am like, yeah!

They said you know we’d like equal time, I think frankly the guys are feeling like a little disenfranchised, a little dejected and left out, and so yeah!

How quickly you turned on me, anyway, uh. No, we thought OK, so, maybe we should convene like some focus groups and get people together and, cause we wanted to be fair about it, and so we got people together and tried to take down what it is a guy says during a day, to the children and we got, you know, a list.

And though, I feel, vastly under-qualified to present this in an attempt of fairness and in equal time, I would like for you to listen to this, you know, it’s, it’s, it is what it is. Uh, this is Dadsense. Here we go.

Ask your mom. Ask you mom, TA-DA.
