Psychogeography could offer the potential to broaden our theory and practice and collective reimagining, to see the city through other(s’) eyes, in an empathy that leads to action;to see collectively, past individual blindnesses, to name in full our oppressions, and overcome them. To overthrow capitalism. To create a new world. Salvaging Situationism: Race and Space by Andrea Gibbons https://salvage.zone/in-print/salvaging-situationism-race-and-space/
Through this game, I'd like to talk about my dérive as a foreign women'; encountering strange local men who commit the sexual harassment just for fun. Their interruption makes a huge difference between my dérive and the dérive of an italian plumber. For me the game making is a moment to share my inconvenient urban experience, especially with a game - entertainment media, and to take vengeance on unknown attackers.
In each hotspot, there is slightly different versions of Strolling Cat; 4 cat color + different catcalling words. Alongside of a game, the player can find a related image (or teaser of video) and a text.
Method
Situationist
- SI (1957 - 72) : dada + surrealism, anti-capitalist values. Radical political theory and Marxist Ideals. Against the dominant culture.
- Break the barriers btw art and everyday life (situation), like John Cage idea So artistic commodity -> Record of the event (documentary) => Anticapitalist idea also Photography also became important : art and life (situation)
- Psychogeography inspired by Baudelaire. The dérive(drift) is psychogeographical concept originally put forward in 1956 by Guy Debord's "Theory of the dérive". Debord defines the dérive as a "mode of experimental behaviour linked to the conditions of the society: a technique of rapid passage through varied ambiances". The dérive refers to an unplanned exploration of the urban space, where the terrain, impressions and attractions of the city dictate the route. It may be undertaken alone, but it was more frequently than not done in groups. The goal of the dérive was to study the city, map its affects and manipulations, and counter the predictable, monotonous and overly functional urban design of advanced capitalism. The dérive is 'simultaneously a means of study of and a game in the urban milieu.'
=> For the same itinerary, each person experiences different dérive. [https://salvage.zone/in-print/salvaging-situationism-race-and-space/ Salvaging Situationism: Race and Space

Game and Woman
- The Domestic Masculinity of Helltaker : the image of tough guy can be changed. => no need of violence / meanness to demonstrate the masculinity. Yet, although Helltaker doesn’t really carry himself like a traditional woman-conqueringhero, even though he seems more interested in serving his “harem” chocolate pancakesthan extracting sexual favours out of it, his masculinity is never presented as uncertainor weak. https://sidequest.zone/2021/01/25/the-domestic-masculinity-of-helltaker/
- Often, female characters in Video game are represented as sidekick or companion of male character. https://feministfrequency.com/video/the-lady-sidekick/
- GamerGate : The treatment of women in gaming. The start of the story (which is actually the latest permutation of a long-evolving firestorm) came in late August after indie game developer Zoe Quinn and gaming critic Anita Sarkeesian were both horribly harassed online.
Depression Quest by Zoe Quinn http://www.depressionquest.com/ the game “is not meant to be a fun or light-hearted experience.” It is, instead, one of a growing number of video games that hopes to broaden the medium’s subject matter with depictions of life’s darker aspects. https://www.newyorker.com/tech/annals-of-technology/zoe-quinns-depression-quest
Lecture with Anne-Marie Schleiner
- Yet in Half-life you are only given one white guy everyman American geek guy to identify with. And all of the NPC researchers and scientists in the game are male. Half-life remaps the original computer game target market back onto itself, excluding all others and reifying gamer culture as a male domain. (Not that I didn’t play Half-life but I would have enjoyed it more if I could have played a female character.) (Velvet-Strike: War Times and Reality Games, Anne-Marie Schleiner) http://opensorcery.net/aboutvs.html
- I find useful their critique of play within but nevertheless resistant to capitalism (and by extension imperialism and militarism), their architectural proposals for "player" navigation and transformation of urban "psychogeographic" zones (what we might call “ludic architecture”), their analysis of leisure and non-leisure activities, and their repurposing of Dadaist negativity. These proposals all have direct relevance to what McKenzie Wark calls our contemporary condition of "Gamespace.” (Dissolving the Magic Circle of Play: Lessons from Situationist Gaming, Anne-Marie Schleiner) http://www.opensorcery.net/Dissolving.pdf
- Everyone can make game movement : the potential of games as teachers of alternative narratives and histoories, as challenges to the ideologies of hate, persistent inequalities, and violent injustices.(Woke Gaming, Kishonna Gray) " EVERYONE CAN MAKE GAMES! The post-feminist context of women in digital game production" (Alison Harvey and Stephanie Fisher): https://www.semanticscholar.org/paper/%E2%80%9CEveryone-Can-Make-Games!%E2%80%9D%3A-The-post-feminist-of-in-Harvey-Fisher/947464a64b007716c225e95dada8ccb2355920bf
-- Rise of the Videogame Zinesters By ANNA ANTHROPY : Rise of the Videogame Zinesters is a call to arms for anyone who’s ever dreamed of making their own games. Anna’s guide to game design encourages budding designers to bring their unique backgrounds and experiences to their creations and widen the playing field of an industry that has for too long catered to an adolescent male consumer base

Blacks in Gaming https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mPkeTDzimBg&t=904s
- socialising with game player: private chat => go to Social media (continuing relationship. Create a community) => be a real friend
- but sometimes hard to make a new connection, cause she’s black woman. => in spite of the anonymity in online game, still the prejudice against black women exist. => the digital world offers spaces of play and freedom in a post-ism promised land of equality and justice, but our experiences reveal the fissures found within those spaces (Woke Gaming, Kishonna Gray)
- There're few game developer/designer in game industry (while many black players)
Prototyping
TIC80
fantasy console
inspired by TICO-8, but FREE (all the source possible) no need to buy a license
Tic 80 Basic
- With - -, like * in python
- Line break doesn’t matter in LUA language
Function TIC()
Cls() : function to make a first back-ground. Number = colour in palette (from 0 and 16==0)
Print : print inside of the game
Trace : print outside of the game = console
Spr : for 8x8 pixel sprit => spr(spr_num, x, y, 0, 1, 0, 0, 1, 1,) 16x17 pixel => spr(spr_num, x,y,0,1,0,0,2,2)
Playing TIC80 on webpage
HTML Here, when we open flesh game html Canvas ==> import external images or what game
need html / js / wasm file With HTML version, tic80 playing in mobile more stable
PHP

Wiki API
API
Application Programming Interface. Get info from A (site, app) and export to B
possible to get in query and parse
query : /api.php?action=query&titles=Category:Situationist_Times&format=json
parse : /api.php?action=query&page=Category:Situationist_Times&format=json
Read and Write with API
to read a content;
import urllib
import json
request = urllib.request.urlopen(url).read()
data = json.loads(request)
data
to write a content;
test = "hello"
out = open('test.html', 'w')
out.write(test)
out.close()
#or for writing an exported html content
data = html
out = open('test.html', 'w')
out.write(html)
out.close()
In json form, possible to choose a specific result with []
# data result : {'parse': {'title': ......
data = html[parse][title] #gives only the title value
BeautifulSoup
Beautiful Soup is a Python library for pulling data out of HTML and XML files. It works with your favorite parser to provide idiomatic ways of navigating, searching, and modifying the parse tree. It commonly saves programmers hours or days of work.
#basic structure
import requests
from bs4 import BeautifulSoup
url = "http://books.toscrape.com/index.html"
response = requests.get(url)
html = response.content
scraped = BeautifulSoup(html, 'html.parser')
For example, scrapping the title,
scraped.title
scraped.find("title")
#real, take <title>...</title>
scraped.title.text
#take 'text' part, '...' of above
#exceptionally, we could have '\n ...\n\' => scraped.title.text.strip()
Scrapping images,
images = scraped.find_all("img")
#or more specifically,
images = scraped.find_all("article", class_="product")
#or with class(".") or id("#")
imamges = scraped.select(".product")
#images could be multiple results, as a list => need a loop!
images = scraped.find_all("img")
image_srcs=[]
for image in images:
image_src=image['src']
image_srcs.append(image_src)
image_srcs
ASCII Map proposal for SI14
Kendal We can lock certain structures and add links in worldoftext. This can only be done by the owner of the map, but means the artwork can be made by us individually and then locked by one person. meaning the bulk is done by us unlike last time. https://www.yourworldoftext.com/~prioudiha/
