I don't think you should be asking for help for your PhD on the internet. I sincerely hope your professors are cool with this, are you may be in for a nasty surprise.
There are tons of books written on the subject.
That being said, I think prototyping is best... Rapid Application Development

If you watch the presentation on the iPhone SDK on the apple website, they have developors from Sega and Electronic Arts that developed fully functional games in just a couple of weeks using the beta version of the SDK. One game was a beta version of Spore for the iPhone, the other "Monkey Ball" was a game with 3D graphics and controlled by tilting the iPhone itself. The games were shown running on the iPhone and they looked pretty good.
The SDK doesn't seem very crippled to me, based on what I saw in the video...
I'm glad you appreciate my opinion so much. By the way, the only reason I'm bitter is because a moron is the president of the United Status and most of the people where I live drive SUV's and waste gas.
Oh, and because slashdot, which used to carry revelant news to technology and programming, now carries largely useless banter about video games, among other crap.
Having a grand old time huh? Is that why most of the children growing up today have to get remedial teaching in math, especially geometry and spacial processing? I have a friend who is working with kids, who because they spend too much time playing with 2 dimisional video games and not enough time playing outside and with real toys, are unable to understand the relationships of geometric objects.
Super Mario came out in what, 1981? 1982? I was about 14 then. Now I'm 38 and quit playing most video games years ago.
Come on, give it a rest. Can't anyone think of anything better to do after 25 years?
I'd rather go to Six Flags or the Beach and "kick" the tourist turtles. Hell, I'd still rather play with legos than play another video game. At least its real life.
Its easy to be a troll on Slashdot. Just disagree with the general opinion... hmm, if I support Linux in a post, I'm automatically '5' - Insightfull. Its almost like China here. Say anything against the grain, and moderation will sensor you...
Jezz, The answers came from the PR department. Don't SLAM them, they were just doing there job. SLAM Slashdot for not making it clear who the questions were meant for.
I've not see a larger bunch of "whiners" than when I last checked the "EverQuest" boards 2 years ago.
What you refer to as "Socialist Capitalism" is really regulated Capitalism ( when the government enforces good behavior from Corporations ) or Socially Responsible Captialism ( when the Corporations choose to behave responsibly ).
Besides, Socialist Capitalism is when the Government controls the companies AND the markets, which is what I was refering too.
You are confusing the 2.
The system is still highly regulated. Bush has gotten rid of some of the regulation, but Hillary will just put it back into place. If you think everything is evil today, go back 30 or more years and see what corporations got away with. Come-on, haven't you ever read Upton Sinclair's "The Jungle"? Or read about some of the things management used to do to keep Unions out?
Hopefully, your didn't type your message on a laptop ( with chips made in Indonesia by an "Exploted" worker ), while wearing Jeans made in Vienam ( by an "Exploted" worker ), while drinking a smoothie with fruit picked by a migrant worker. Otherwise, your guilty as the rest of us...:)
Meanwhile, I get paid lower wages, because the system that you and others say is "Completely" evil has resulted in programmers, software engineers, consultants, and others getting jobs and a much higher standard of living then they had previously in India, China, and other countries. Which I don't mind, its part of the Global Economy.
When I went to the Philippines, I helped train programmers at a Data Center opened by a Company that employeed over 100 people. I'm sure those people apprecated the jobs.
So what do you suggest instead? Communism and a government managed economy? Hmm, that doesn't work. Socialism and government owned companies? That doesn't work either without Capitalism, most socialist countries are privatizing their state-owned companies.
Capitalism, although it has its evils, is probably the best economic system right now, until some new social or technological development makes a better economy possible. There is explotation of course, but as the rich get richer, a lot of the poor become "middle class". Not everyone loses. I've lived in a developing nation, and a lot of people would be much happier "being exploted" rather than living in a shack with a dirt floor wondering what they will be able to get to eat in the next 24 hours.
The only thing that will change this is some huge technological advance. Like Nano-technology based micro manufacturing plants you can "feed" orange peels to get a laptop...:)

There are a lot of muslims living in London. Especially in the area near Aldgate station in East London. Your "considerate" bombers probably killed some of your muslim brothers and sisters this morning. Along with many other innocent people...
Very spiritual answer! I agree with what you are saying. When we ignore the guilt we place on ourselves and the restrictions others try to place on us, the mind opens up. And then we can see possibilities others can't...
But that still means they aren't average, because they were able to follow their dream...
Anyway, who knows, there is no right or wrong, only Yin and Yang, light and dark...:)
Yeah, Anyone can drop out of college and succeed, if they are intelligent, work hard, and are driven and charismatic. But for the average Joe, dropping out of college is a bad decision.
Bill Gates, Michael Dell, and Jobs are all NOT average Joe's!
Won't be fast when you tow the 2,000 lbs of batteries you'll need to keep it running more than 20 miles... Electric vehicles are great, until you consider how to get the power into them...
Personally, I wouldn't mind if the interstate system was setup with "slots" like the old slot race track toys, for recharging on the go...
Maybe, but the videophiles like me spend a lot more on DVD's, video, electronics, and renting than the Average Joe, so it balances out. The customer electronic companies know this. Thats why HDTV and widescreen are showing up everywhere, even in laptops, and Dolby Digial 5.1 surround sound is on almost every DVD now.
Yeah, You metioned several other reasons I can't stand them. One of my biggest beefs outside the late fees and censorship is I could almost "Never" find a movie I wanted to watch, unless I went there first thing in the morning. And their DVD selection was abyssmal, they still hadn't got rid of most of the vidoes the last time I visited a location 3 years ago.
Netflix, with the exception of a few movies, has always shipped everything I asked for within a couple of days. And I watch a lot of off the wall stuff. Netflix also rules If you want to watch an Entire series, like the Sopranos. The disks keep coming in, as soon as you mail them back.
Video on demand has a long way to go. On Comcast, they didn't offer true Widescreen VOD last time I checked. And the quality is much worse on a Widescreen HDTV. And the selection is not even close to what you can get from Netflix.
VOD is only for the average Joe that watches Hollywood blockbusters and mainstream movies on a 31 inch 4:3 format TV.
If you have a widescreen HDTV, Video on demand sucks. All the video on demand I've seen in my area from Comcast, is crappy, standard 4:3 format, and has bad artifacts. It looks just like standard digital Cable or Satelite signal, which ain't great on a 55 inch widescreen.
At least with a DVD, I can play anamorphic Widescreen with 480 progressive scan DVD player and get something that looks half-way like the movie in the theatre. DVD still has artifacts, but they aren't nearly as bad as Video on Demand.

Hmmm,
I'm a "cynical" fuck for just expressing my opinion about video games? At least you could have thought up a creative response.
I'm glad you appreciate my opinion so much. By the way, the only reason I'm bitter is because a moron is the president of the United Status and most of the people where I live drive SUV's and waste gas.

Ships and weapons make sound in a vacuum in the Star Wars/Star Trek universes. Defying the physical laws of this universe.
Never quite go over this. However, the 1968 movie 2001 space odyssey, got it right!
