ISM001: Hints to some of the project topics
Dear Programmers of ISM001,
For those of you who have started to work on the project, I’ve added some additional information to Topic 3: Fractal Generator and Topic 7: Exciting Java Games.
For Topic 3, I’ve added two Java applets that I wrote in summer 2005 to demonstrate how to draw the b/w and colored Mandelbrot set respectively. The source code of the b/w one is given, while that of the colored one is left to the students as an exercise. Remember that I only count on the code that you add into the source.
For Topic 7, I’ve added a link to a tutorial about how to write a Space Invaders game in Java. The complete source code is given and so you can download the source code to run it on your computer. This tutorial is very good in a sense that it demonstrates a lot of techniques that you would need to write a game such as 嶺南齊打交 or 逃出嶺南, as some of you suggested.

網上驚現思想黑客
初次玩這個 Mind Reader 的把戲，有一種思想被人「黑」(cracked) 了的感覺。今年在 BUSA01 班中扮演「騙徒」和「受害人」的同學，感受應該更加深刻。
「它是怎樣知道的呢？」這是我即時的疑問。事隔數年，那瞬間的心靈激動，至今仍然深刻。其實若是冷靜下來仔細思考，要識破箇中玄機亦非難事。
你又能道破箇中玄機嗎？你會怎樣分析呢？
