AgeGuess
How old do you look like?
Redwire
Take part of one game, mix it with another one, and then modify it to make a new one
New game engine, with different goals
Made for remixing games and mashups
Electronics-inspired visual programming
Excellent debugging and live coding tools
All done in the browser
Why a new game engine?
We have:
A kabillion librariesA billion game engines
A million programming languages
Classes
Unit tests
Entity Component SystemsBlocks
Distributed Version Control
Virtual machines
Functions
End to end tests
Metaclasses
Interleaving -> incomprehension
Lessons Avoid tangling
Leave data alone
Sane abstractions for state and time

AgeGuessCrowdsourcing human aging research
What is AgeGuess?AgeGuess is a simple on-line game in which you can post your photos, have other people guess your age, as well as guess the age of other users.
The science behind AgeGuessAgeGuess investigates the differences between perceived age (how old you look) and chronological age (your age) as a potential aging biomarker.
AgeGuess
Open questions:
Is the guessed age a predictor for survivial?Heritablility of the perceived vs chronological age?Does age guessing depends on…?…

Global scheme
Interest people with games, entry level citizen science projet, social questions, debates
Teach them (Online course, University degrees, Clubs, informal meetings)
Incite them to ask a question and develop ideas to anwer them with a research methodology (Citizen science, entrepreneurs challenges, competition, diploma projects)
Implement (Regular labs, open prototyping laboratory)
Build up a community to scale up and spin-off
Repeat
Perfect crapiness
Perfect fit
Perfect for research
