Introduction to Simulation Video Games

1. Broadcasting career of fan games

Wilner began his broadcasting career at the University of Toronto in 1988, and was named sports director there a year later. During his tenure at the University of Toronto, Wilner did play-by-play for various sports including hockey, basketball, and football.

Wilner began his professional broadcasting career at the age of 19 with the Class-A Welland Pirates. He later did play-by-play for various baseball teams including the Class-A Watertown Indians, and the Double-A Hardware City Rock Cats. During the 2010 Winter Olympics, Wilner hosted 2010 Winter Games Today in Vancouver with David Alter from Whistler, British Columbia.

On June 1, 2010, Mike Wilner got into an argument during a media scrum with the Toronto Blue Jays manager Cito Gaston about Gaston's field level decision making. Wilner detailed the confrontation on his blog. A day later his employer, the Fan 590 announced Wilner would not be covering the team for several days, presumably a suspension though the Fan 590 refused to state the reason.

Because Rogers Communications, owners of the Toronto Blue Jays, also owns the Fan 590, the suspension had at least the appearance of a case of media censorship. The Toronto Chapter of the Baseball Writers Association of America issued a letter of protest suggesting the suspension was an attempt by the Blue Jays to muzzle media criticism. The controversy received coverage in all three of Toronto's daily newspapers, largely in sympathy with Wilner.

From 2014-2017, Wilner performed play-by-play duties for select innings of all Toronto Blue Jays home games. In 2018, following the retirement of longtime Blue Jays play-by-play commentator Jerry Howarth, Wilner called most Blue Jays games with Ben Wagner. He officially became the full-time radio play-by-play announcer with Wagner prior to the 2019 season.

That same year, he was replaced by Scott MacArthur as host of the BlueJaysTalk radio show.

3. Fiction of hunger games trilogy

Lindsey is the author of numerous novels and novellas. His first novels, Going Shogun and The Two Crosses, were published independently in 2012.

Going Shogun is a dystopian comedy in which two waiters attempt to raise their tightly controlled social standing by stealing and publishing their employer's secret recipes. Erik Wecks of Wired called it a "hilarious romp through a comic and dangerous underground subculture of hackers, drug users, and wannabes" and "a perfect summer read", while noting that it "needs a copy edit and displays many of the traits which will irritate those who appreciate the value of a traditional editorial team." Wired subsequently named it one of the "Best Books of 2012".

Later in 2012, Lindsey began considering a new direction for his work, frustrated by the slow sales of his previous novels. Observing the success of the Hunger Games franchise, he jokingly told his wife that he should write a novel with "game" in the title; this became the genesis of his novel Sara's Game, the story of a woman whose husband and child disappear at the hands of a mysterious, taunting nemesis. Sara's Game became his most successful novel to date, appearing on the USA Today bestseller list and reaching #2 on the Amazon Kindle chart.

In February 2013, the novel was offered as the Amazon "Daily Deal". Lindsey's subsequent novels include three more in the "Sara" series and the "Warchild" trilogy, a series of dystopian thrillers about a teenage girl who must help her outpost to survive a war after total societal collapse. Lindsey says that the most important influence on his work is thriller author Dean Koontz.

However, in his semi-finals, he wasn't as lucky. Headley finished 7th out of eight competitors with a time of 10.67 seconds, this time he beat Ramone McKenzie, who failed to start.

6. Development of simulation video games

Carrier Strike was designed by Gary Grigsby for Strategic Simulations Inc. (SSI).

It began development as "an offshoot" of Gary Grigsby's Pacific War, which was in production at the time; the initial version of Carrier Strike was made during a week of free time on that project. Grigsby explained that Carrier Strike was his way of revisiting his early game Carrier Force (1983). He told Electronic Games, "I liked the subject matter and, given the evolution in computer capability and my programming skills, I wanted to refine it.

" Carrier Strike was developed with a modified version of the game engine from Grigsby's games Second Front: Germany Turns East and Western Front. He noted that the biggest challenge during production was adapting the games' interface to the new setting, and that the subsequent flight-deck interface originated from "a bull session at SSI". For the game's artificial intelligence (AI), he said that the subject matter made coding relatively simple, and that he had avoided letting the AI "cheat" in ways that many of his previous games had not.

The score for Carrier Strike was composed by Donald Griffin of Computer Music Consulting. Carrier Strike was launched in 1992, prior to Pacific War. Grigsby and SSI followed the game with the Carrier Strike Expansion Disk, which alters Carrier Strike's gameplay mechanics and adds new playable battles.

Unlike the original game's retail release, it was launched via mail order.
