The Design and Implementation of laffer1

I've played with Wii Play for several days now. For $50, you get a second controller and several mini games on one disk. The games are not the same level of quality as Wii Sports, but some of them are fun.

One game is a shooting gallery that is in some respects similar to Nintendo's Duck Hunt game packaged with the original NES. It does not let you pick your targets like the Duck Hunt game, but it instead gives you cans (Hogan's alley style), Ducks, and clay targets. There are also bonus items and pictures of your player. If you shoot your mii's face, you lose points.

Another game is a hockey like game with neon coloring. It is a bit difficult to aim at times, but still fun.

There is also a tank game where you try to destroy another tank. Ammo can bounce off the walls in some cases and you can move and aim with the wii controller.

My favorite mini game is a pool game. It is quite fun in two player. That game is worth the $10.

There are several other games in the package. Most are not very interesting to me. One is a where's waldo style finding/matching game.

Have you ever noticed the old adage "when it rains, it pores" is very true in the accumulation of work. My CS professor has assigned a programming assignment, two sets of problems and as of last night a test next thursday. If his course were the only one I had to worry about, it would be no problem. However, things don't work that way. I have three other courses to worry about.

To top it off, I've got at least three tasks at work to accomplish. I'm wondering when I can start that assignment.

I guess everyone likes a challenge.
