Figure and ground is a concept drawn from Gestalt psychology by media studies media theorist Marshall McLuhan , which in his work underpins the meaning of his famous phrase, The medium is the message . He used this concept to explain how a communications technology, the medium or figure , necessarily operates through its context, or ground . McLuhan believed that to fully grasp the impact of a new technology, one must examine figure medium and ground context together, since neither is completely intelligible without the other. McLuhan argued that we must study media in their historical context, particularly in relation to those technologies which preceded them. The present environment, itself made up of the effects of previous technologies, gives rise to new technologies, which, in their turn, further affect society and individuals. ref name LAC http www.collectionscanada.ca innis mcluhan Old Messengers, New Media The Legacy of Innis and McLuhan , a virtual museum exhibition at Library and Archives Canada ref Furthermore, all technologies have embedded within them their own assumptions about Time and space bias time and space . The message which the medium conveys can only be understood if the medium and the environment in which the medium is used and which, simultaneously, it effectively creates are analyzed together.

Unreferenced date December 2007 Image Age of Empires 2 map screenshot.jpg right thumb A random map from Age of Empires II The Age of Kings . Age of Empires II The Conquerors The Conquerors expansion was the first game in the series to allow creation of custom random map scripts. In Video game gaming , a random map is a map generated randomness randomly by the computer, usually in Strategy video game strategy games. Random maps are often the core of single and multiplayer gameplay, aside from story based campaigns that are often shipped with the game. Each new game presents an unknown map, providing a new experience to the player, and an even playing field in multiplayer game multiplayer gaming . Random maps typically have a certain theme for example a naval random map with many small islands, or a gold rush map with a large amount of gold in the center of the map. The type of random map may also influence the game s game artificial intelligence artificial intelligence , with the AI employing different strategies optimized for each random map. Methods for generating such maps vary depending upon the topography of the game itself. A game which requires natural landscapes may use fractal subdivision to create convincing terrain, whereas a game set inside a structure such as a dungeon may use two dimensional maze algorithms. Some games allow the players to make their own random map scripts RMS , a form of Mod computer gaming game modification . Random map scripts provide instructions for generating the map, such as terrain types, resource locations, and many other factors. Random maps can also be used by scenario level design designer to unlock previously unavailable units. For example in Age of Kings, designers have used RMS to unlock new terrains and units. The unit terrain combination of fish on shoreless water is one such application of this technique. Another example is Empire Earth , where an unused dark red coloured cliff can be unlocked through a custom random map ... more details
map. Complete maps are either based on compressor rig test results or are predicted by a special computer program. Alternatively the map of a similar compressor can be suitably scaled. Image hpcompressorchic.gif frame right Typical high pressure compressor map Compressor maps are important, since they are an integral part of predicting the performance of a gas turbine engine, both at design and off design conditions. Fans and turbine s also have operating maps, although the latter are significantly different in appearance to that of fans and compressors.
