Development Interactive Voice Response service using Mobicents and jBPM

support — Fri, 16 Oct 2009 06:10:56 +0000

This is my first blog message:)

At the final end I am going to blog about Mobicents Media server and other components of Mobicents platform. How to use it for development of the telco applications. Let’s start from one of the widely used telco application

IVR, or Interactive Voice Response, is one of the most used types of telco application. It automates the interaction (retrieval and input of data) with a database, typically through the use of a touch-tone (DTMF) telephone. Most of us use some type of IVR application every day. Whether it’s to check bank balances or transfer funds, manage credit cards, order prescription medicine, verify flight information or check for store hours or locations.

Media server which is responsible for voice and DTMF tone processing is one of the manadatory element of network infrastructure. The modern network suppose that the Media server is a dump thing and is under control from intelligent call controller application which is placed on the signaling way. In other words we can say that Media Server is doing a “black job” for call controller :) But media server still has to provide usefull interfaces for call controller.

All media server work always will be joined with call controller application. Fortunately now the process of writting telco-grade applications is more simple then several years ago. But anyway the telco was traditionaly closed area and is new now for most of the mainstream developers. I think would be interested to start blogging about Mobicents Media server from paper which explains how to write telco application.

So, it is started but not completed yet. Stay turned.

Understanding the game development

support — Thu, 15 Oct 2009 22:55:18 +0000

Dear kids,

in my last post I mentioned that the best time for programming (in my case) is in the morning. Try it and you’ll be surprised how efficient you are! While morning works best for programming, the evening is great time for studying. As a retired person a have a lot of free time so aside from my daily duties and other hobbies, I study materials related to the game development every evening just before I go to bed. My dream to make my own iPhone game is so strong I can resist! I even don’t know how long I have been dreaming about it, but it has been quite long time since I started my everyday “granny coder routine” – programming in the morning and studying in the evening.

Game Development 101

Are you new to the game development and would you like to know how it works? Well I was in the same shoes as you are in now – my understanding to it was equalling to zero. I had no idea how to make games and how the entire industry works. I am not saying that I know it now, but I have much better insight and I am familiar with the basic principles and mechanisms. In this spot I would like to share some of my knowledge with you.

Game development – who do we need?

In the game development process there’s a lot of people involved. At least you need one person with the role of:

Programmer
A person who is in charge of code of the game. He / She puts all the game mechanisms to the code that computer can understand.

Artist
A person who is in charge of visual aspect of the game. If your game is 2D, you need 2D artist (and 3D artist for 3D game).

Game Designer
One of the most important member of your team – this person is in charge of the main idea and all game mechanisms and principles. The more experienced game designer the better game will be.

Level Designer
Level Designer is often the right hand of Game Designer. He / She is in charge of the creating of levels or maps in the game.

Sound Engineer
The person who is in charge of sound effects, music and other stuff. We don’t want our game to be silent, do we?

Tester
This person has very boring (some people say exciting) duty – he / she has to go thoroughly through the whole game and look for the bug and other errors in the game.

…and a lot of more people (producers, project managers and so on).

iPhone game development specifics

Developing games for iPhone is very specific in comparison with developing “big” videogames (they call them AAA titles). That’s why iPhone games are often very small and the number of people involved is very small. In my case it is just me who is involved in the whole development process of my game – I have no co-workers so I have to undertake all design, graphic, programming, sound and testing stuff. And of course, I am my own manager :-). It may sounds crazy for someone, but I have always wanted to do something I could be proud of and I strongly feel THIS is the opportunity!

I will continue this spot next time, because I have to feed my animals now (Yes, the can’t wait).

Love,

Granny

Game development student grads from Flashpoint Academy featured in College Magazine

support — Thu, 05 Feb 2009 18:51:40 +0000

From the article:

“Just about every person of our generation has gone through at least one phase of obsession with video games, and can relate to the way a player gets wrapped up in that interactive experience. And how many kids dream of making these games, only to “grow out of it”? Well, in a time when video games are more popular than ever, among kids, college students and even elderly people (Nintendo Wii has hit retirement homes, believe it or not), there’s more opportunity than ever to pursue a career in video game development—which is exactly what two Chicago-area students are doing.

Justin C. Moore and Joshua Hernandez are recent graduates of the Flashpoint Academy in Chicago, IL, where they met and collaborated on designing a game that can now be found on Xbox Live Marketplace and soon on the iPhone. Moore, who studied game design, says he heard of Flashpoint Academy at just the right time. “I got a flier in the mail; it was really fortuitous, as I was unemployed for the summer of 2007 and didn’t know what I was gonna be doing in the fall,” says Moore. After completing his undergraduate degree at MIT a few years ago, Moore knew he wanted to pursue his hobby of programming, and Flashpoint was the perfect place to learn his trade.”
