* Screem
Although the implementation is largely up to you, your assignment needs to follow the guidelines below:
* Your game should keep a score - give the player a credit at the beginning, where a portion will be wagered with each game. Winning a game should increase the score of the player.
* Support one player only, playing against the dealer (computer)
* Your game should reflect reality - cards should appear in a random fashion, each card can appear only once in a deck etc.
* Your game must use card images. You can create your own, or use a deck created by someone else. Free images are available at: http://www.brushes.obsidiandawn.com/sets/playing-cards.htm

Use a self-taken photo as a base and a set of tile images of your choice to complete the mosaic. Send the completed portrait for grading purposes to your teacher. The mark will not be based on artistic merit - the mosaic should be detailed enough so you are recognizable. For best results, use a high-resolution photo of your face only and have a tile library of at least 50 pictures, with varying colours and brightness. Do not forget to reference your sources if you use images not taken by yourself for tiles. Post your portrait on your blog if you like. Tile libraries are available on-line - you might want to check out http://www.mazaika.com/mazdownload.html == Assignment #2 ==Your assignment objective is to use Linux tools to edit and convert/transcode DV footage in Quicktime format to OGG and MPEG2/4 formats.The footage is available on the Ireland server in /home/michal/mozilla/ directory. There are 13 files in total, all recorded during the Mozilla Developer Days at Seneca earlier this semester.The following is the list of files, including their approximate size.  Day 1 - 1000 am_Rm. 1014 (8 GB) - SC<br />Day 1 - 100 pm_Rm. 1014 (8GB) - SC<br />Day 1 - 1044 am_Rm. 1014 (10GB) - TC<br />Day 1 - 1130 am_Rm. 1014 (5 GB) - TC<br />Day 1 - 144 pm_Rm. 1014 (12 GB) - PC<br />Day 1 - 155pm_Web Track (5 GB) - VJ<br />Day 1 - 300 pm_Rm. 1014 (10 GB) - VJ<br />Day 1 - 345pm_Multimedia (10 GB) - KL<br />Day 2 - 100 pm_Tel. Rm. 1009 (10 GB) - GM<br />Day 2 - 1030 am_Tel. Rm. 1009 (7 GB) - MP<br />Day 2 - 1115 am_Tel. Rm. 1009 (6 GB) - MP<br />Day 2 - 200 pm_Tel. Rm. 1009 (2 GB) - MV<br />Day 2 - 930 am_Tel. Rm. 1009 (10 GB) - MV<br /> The initials at the end of each file name above, indicate the student that is in charge of converting a particular file.Please note that students that have only one file assigned will need to complete an additional conversion.  Please review each file assigned to you and perform any necessary editing to get rid of unnecessary footage at the beginning and the end of the clip. Also adjust brightness if necessary and clean up the audio. Each file needs to be transcoded to the following formats:* OGG Best Quality (native size)* OGG Broadband Quality (564 Kbps)* OGG Low Quality (128 Kbps)* MPEG-4 AVI Medium Quality (564 Kbps) Students with a single file assigned, must also provide the following:* H.264 in 3G Mobile Quality Other students may complete this transcode optionally.<br>(Nes: I recommand to have around or less than 480x320 resolution, lower than video 1.5kbps and Audio 128kps, please see the link below for iPhone detail)<br>[http://www.ilounge.com/assets/images/features_videoguide/table1.jpg Apple iPhone/iPod Video Spec] For best result, please use a dual-pass conversion (if available). Also, please note that the disk space on Ireland is limited so you will need to use another system to complete your work. <strong>Please do not make copies of the original footage on the Ireland server</strong> In addition to the conversion you are required to post a blog documenting the entire process including a list of used software and screen shots of your work. This assignment is worth 10% of your course grade and is due on December 5 at 11:59 p.m. Please post your blog and send a submission email to your teacher by the due date. Converted files are to be copied to the /home/michal/upload/ directory on the Ireland server. Please use the following naming convention for your files: If the original file name was: "Original_file"...<br />The maximum-quality OGG file name should be: "Original_file_max.ogg",<br />The broadband-quality OGG file name should be: "Original_file_broadband.ogg",<br />The low-quality OGG file name should be: "Original_file_low.ogg",<br />The MPEG-4 AVI file name should be: "Original_file.avi",<br />The H.268 AVI file name should be: "Original_file.mp4" == Links == GNUPlot 4.0 Tutorial: http://www.duke.edu/~hpgavin/gnuplot.html = Midterm Test - Part 2 (Nov 20) = = Assignment 2 Work (Nov 25) =  = Session 09 (Nov 27 - Dec 3) - Multimedia Software === Lecture ==* Multimedia Players* Audio File Formats* CD Ripping

Create a tutorial showing how to use free Linux tools to take images from a digital camera and save them on a CD or DVD as a slide show. Include a section (indicated as optional) in your tutorial about image cropping and removing red eyes. Your tutorial must include screen shots, illustrating the process, preferably made by you. If you use screen shots created by others they must be properly referenced in your article.
