MS-DOS





DOS is a disk operating system that organises data files, executes program files, and controls the input/output devices.

Booting is when the computer is turned on, microsoft DOS is executed.

DOS is text based.

To communicate with DOS, the screen has a prompt where you enter a command.

Case insensitive means that it does not matter if the words typed in are capital, lowercase, or both. An example would be HelLo or hELLo.


4 useful things to learn about DOS.
SET PATH= path to a specific directory
? in a file name means letter
* in a file name means wildcard
. in a directory path stands for current directory

7 very useful DOS commands. Explain each.
A: change in path to a floppy disk drive
C: change in path to a hard disk drive
DIR display current directory
MD make new directory
CD change current directory
COPY copy files from one place to annother
DEL delete a file

DOS organizes disks by working within a file directory and disk drive structure. Files are named and grouped together in named directories.

Three requirements that must be met for a file to be named include 1-8 letter name, period, 3 letter extension
An example: PROGRAM.exe

In DOS directories named by the drive letter followed by a colon. Directory path names are directed by a backwards slash.
An example would be C:/PROGRAMS

Google Images



This is a Lego robot with tracks instead of the more common legs or tires. All this robot can do is move around and move the arms at the shoulder, which is all it could be programmed to do.


My favorite logo would have to be the Nike logo. It represents the Greek Goddess of victory. The colors of the symbol do not mean anything, considering there are a variety of different colors of the symbol. I like the symbol because it is simple and looks great.

If i created a logo for myself, it would be simmilar to the shape of a hawk head. There is no particular reason why i would choose this other than it was the first thing i thought of, and it would look pretty cool.


If I had to create a static cling for my car, it would have to be the old symbol for the Pittsburgh Penguins. I would make it the exact colors and the exact shape.

Gaming

Call of Duty: Time Warfare

A Marine from 2011 has to defend top secret teleportation technology from the hands of the time travelers. These time travelers are from other countries in the future, and some in the past. The soldiers from the future have tricked the soldiers of the past in to thinking they are doing it for good, but they have terrorist intentions. The leader of the terrorists is called by the codename ninja. The leader of the US protectors is called by the codename Price. The soldiers from the past are from Gengis Khan to General Grant from the Civil War. The future warriors have simmilar guns and armor from the game Halo 3. The soldier from 2011 is using the weapons and gear from Modern Warfare 2.

The person that you control, or the good sprite, is known by the codename Soap. The original Call of Duty control setup will be used: left control stick- move around, dpad- use killstreaks and special equipment, star- pause quit and save the game, right control stick- look around (pushing the stick crouches), y button- switch weapons, x button- reload, a button- jump and climb over objects, b button- knife.

The objects in the game consist of land mines, heavy artillery, aircraft, light artillery, and military transport. Land mines, if walked over or driven over, explode. Heavy artillery consists of heavily armored tanks and equipment like that. Aircraft consits of the very first bombers and propeller driven airplanes to f-18s and b-12 bombers. Light artillery consists of smaller tank and APCs. Transport also contains APCs but also consists of military jeeps and even horses.

The age range would be 17+ because of blood, excessive violence, and strong language.

It would be on both the ps3 and the xbox 360. Reason being is that they both can handle high definition quality and they have awesome online play.

I designed the game this way because there have not been very many games like this, especially on a console that you can battle other people with.
