+<p>In this article, we discuss how ideal video game and video game development
+tool look like, in our opinion.</p>
+<p><strong>Questions</strong></p>
+<p>As you know, the <a href="http://opengamestudio.org/pages/about.html">goals of Opensource Game Studio</a> are:</p>
+<ul>
+<li>creation of free video game development tools</li>
+<li>making video games with those tools</li>
+<li>preparing video game development tutorials</li>
+</ul>
+<p>This time we asked ourselves two simple questions:</p>
+<ul>
+<li>What is an ideal video game?</li>
+<li>What is an ideal video game development tool?</li>
+</ul>
+<p>The best answers we could think of are below.</p>
+<p><strong>Answer 1: A video game is ideal if it delivers maximum pleasure possible</strong></p>
+<p>While content is probably the most important aspect to keep a player invested
+into the game, the technical side is the transport to deliver that content.
+There are quite a few technical problems that may damage otherwise excellent content of a game:</p>
+<ul>
+<li>insufficient accessibility: the game does not run on your hardware</li>
+<li>insufficient optimization: the game is slow</li>
+<li>critical bugs: the game crashes from time to time</li>
+</ul>
+<p>We work hard to make sure the games we create are accessible everywhere.
+That's why we released
+<a href="http://opengamestudio.org/mahjong-demo2.html">the second demonstration of OGS Mahjong 2</a> only for
+the web: because you can run web version virtually anywhere.</p>
+<p><strong>Answer 2: A video game development tool is ideal if it lets you create a video game of your dream in the shortest time possible</strong></p>
+<p>Even though we put a lot of effort into sharing our knowledge through
+<a href="https://github.com/OGStudio/openscenegraph-cross-platform-guide">guides</a> and <a href="https://github.com/OGStudio/openscenegraph-cross-platform-examples">tutorials</a>, we understand that those take a lot
+of time to study. One can't possibly make even a simple video game like
+<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Concentration_(game)">Memory</a> without performing the following steps:</p>
+<ul>
+<li>configure the development environment</li>
+<li>write code</li>
+<li>build an application</li>
+<li>debug the application</li>
+<li>repeat <code>write-build-debug</code> steps as many times as necessary</li>
+</ul>
+<p>Writing code and debugging are probably the ultimate forms of input and output
+of any software, so we can't escape those. However, there are ways to
+completely remove (or at least significantly decrease) the need for
+<code>development environment setup</code> and <code>build</code> steps. And this is what we are
+going to do in the coming months.</p>
+<p>Our goal for the coming months is to create a video game development tool that
+would allow any programmer (or sufficiently skilled person) to create the
+<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Concentration_(game)">Memory</a> video game from scratch in an hour.</p>
+<p>That's it for discussing how ideal video game and video game development tool
+look like, in our opinion.</p><p class="subheader">Category: <a href="http://opengamestudio.org/category/news.html">News</a>

 build a solid cross-platform foundation.</p>
 <p><strong>Release</strong></p>
 <p>Run the latest version of OGS Mahjong 2 in your web browser:
-<a href="http://ogstudio.github.io/ogs-mahjong">http://ogstudio.github.io/ogs-mahjong</a></p>
-<p>You are encouraged to run the game with <code>seed</code> parameter like this:
-<a href="http://ogstudio.github.io/ogs-mahjong?seed=0">http://ogstudio.github.io/ogs-mahjong?seed=0</a></p>
-<p>This allows you to play the same layout each time you launch the game.</p>
-<p>Each seed uniquely identifies the placement of tiles. Thus, different seeds
-give you a different experience.</p>
-<p><strong>Development techniques and foundation</strong></p>
-<p>During the second demonstration development, we switched from standard
-development to <a href="http://opengamestudio.org/example-driven-development.html">example-driven one</a>. This resulted in the
-creation of three distinct repositories to back the development of OGS Mahjong 2:</p>
-<ul>
-<li><a href="https://github.com/OGStudio/openscenegraph-cross-platform-examples">OpenSceneGraph cross-platform examples</a> repository provides cross-platform foundation like resource handling, render window setup, etc.</li>
-<li><a href="https://github.com/OGStudio/ogs-mahjong-components">OGS Mahjong components</a> repository provides Mahjong specific functionality like parsing layout, matching tiles, etc.</li>
-<li><a href="https://bitbucket.org/ogstudio-games/ogs-mahjong">OGS Mahjong</a> repository contains snapshots of <code>OGS Mahjong components</code> features that comprise specific game version. E.g., <code>Demo 2</code> version is almost identical to <a href="https://github.com/OGStudio/ogs-mahjong-components/tree/master/05.ColorfulStatus">05.ColorfulStatus</a> example of <code>OGS Mahjong components</code>.</li>
-</ul>
-<p><strong>Beyond Mahjong solitaire</strong></p>
-<p>In addition to <code>seed</code> parameter, you can let the game use remote layout hosted at GitHub:
-<a href="http://ogstudio.github.io/ogs-mahjong?seed=0&amp;layout=github://OGStudio/ogs-mahjong-components/data/cat.layout">http://ogstudio.github.io/ogs-mahjong?seed=0&amp;layout=github://OGStudio/ogs-mahjong-components/data/cat.layout</a></p>
-<p>Utilizing remote resources is an extremely powerful approach allowing anyone
-to create a layout of his/her choice and see the layout in action instantly.</p>
-<p>Our next step is to turn game logic into a resource, too.</p><p class="subheader">Category: <a href="http://opengamestudio.org/category/news.html">News</a>

+<p>In this article, we discuss how ideal video game and video game development
+tool look like, in our opinion.</p>
+<p><strong>Questions</strong></p>
+<p>As you know, the <a href="http://opengamestudio.org/pages/about.html">goals of Opensource Game Studio</a> are:</p>
+<ul>
+<li>creation of free video game development tools</li>
+<li>making video games with those tools</li>
+<li>preparing video game development tutorials</li>
+</ul>
+<p>This time we asked ourselves two simple questions:</p>
+<ul>
+<li>What is an ideal video game?</li>
+<li>What is an ideal video game development tool?</li>
+</ul>
+<p>The best answers we could think of are below.</p>
+<p><strong>Answer 1: A video game is ideal if it delivers maximum pleasure possible</strong></p>
+<p>While content is probably the most important aspect to keep a player invested
+into the game, the technical side is the transport to deliver that content.
+There are quite a few technical problems that may damage otherwise excellent content of a game:</p>
+<ul>
+<li>insufficient accessibility: the game does not run on your hardware</li>
+<li>insufficient optimization: the game is slow</li>
+<li>critical bugs: the game crashes from time to time</li>
+</ul>
+<p>We work hard to make sure the games we create are accessible everywhere.
+That's why we released
+<a href="http://opengamestudio.org/mahjong-demo2.html">the second demonstration of OGS Mahjong 2</a> only for
+the web: because you can run web version virtually anywhere.</p>
+<p><strong>Answer 2: A video game development tool is ideal if it lets you create a video game of your dream in the shortest time possible</strong></p>
+<p>Even though we put a lot of effort into sharing our knowledge through
+<a href="https://github.com/OGStudio/openscenegraph-cross-platform-guide">guides</a> and <a href="https://github.com/OGStudio/openscenegraph-cross-platform-examples">tutorials</a>, we understand that those take a lot
+of time to study. One can't possibly make even a simple video game like
+<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Concentration_(game)">Memory</a> without performing the following steps:</p>
+<ul>
+<li>configure the development environment</li>
+<li>write code</li>
+<li>build an application</li>
+<li>debug the application</li>
+<li>repeat <code>write-build-debug</code> steps as many times as necessary</li>
+</ul>
+<p>Writing code and debugging are probably the ultimate forms of input and output
+of any software, so we can't escape those. However, there are ways to
+completely remove (or at least significantly decrease) the need for
+<code>development environment setup</code> and <code>build</code> steps. And this is what we are
+going to do in the coming months.</p>
+<p>Our goal for the coming months is to create a video game development tool that
+would allow any programmer (or sufficiently skilled person) to create the
+<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Concentration_(game)">Memory</a> video game from scratch in an hour.</p>
+<p>That's it for discussing how ideal video game and video game development tool
+look like, in our opinion.</p><p class="subheader">Category: <a href="http://opengamestudio.org/category/news.html">News</a>

@@ -58,36 +127,14 @@ The purposes of this release were to refine our development techniques and
 build a solid cross-platform foundation.</p>
 <p><strong>Release</strong></p>
 <p>Run the latest version of OGS Mahjong 2 in your web browser:
-<a href="http://ogstudio.github.io/ogs-mahjong">http://ogstudio.github.io/ogs-mahjong</a></p>
-<p>You are encouraged to run the game with <code>seed</code> parameter like this:
-<a href="http://ogstudio.github.io/ogs-mahjong?seed=0">http://ogstudio.github.io/ogs-mahjong?seed=0</a></p>
-<p>This allows you to play the same layout each time you launch the game.</p>
-<p>Each seed uniquely identifies the placement of tiles. Thus, different seeds
-give you a different experience.</p>
-<p><strong>Development techniques and foundation</strong></p>
-<p>During the second demonstration development, we switched from standard
-development to <a href="http://opengamestudio.org/example-driven-development.html">example-driven one</a>. This resulted in the
-creation of three distinct repositories to back the development of OGS Mahjong 2:</p>
-<ul>
-<li><a href="https://github.com/OGStudio/openscenegraph-cross-platform-examples">OpenSceneGraph cross-platform examples</a> repository provides cross-platform foundation like resource handling, render window setup, etc.</li>
-<li><a href="https://github.com/OGStudio/ogs-mahjong-components">OGS Mahjong components</a> repository provides Mahjong specific functionality like parsing layout, matching tiles, etc.</li>
-<li><a href="https://bitbucket.org/ogstudio-games/ogs-mahjong">OGS Mahjong</a> repository contains snapshots of <code>OGS Mahjong components</code> features that comprise specific game version. E.g., <code>Demo 2</code> version is almost identical to <a href="https://github.com/OGStudio/ogs-mahjong-components/tree/master/05.ColorfulStatus">05.ColorfulStatus</a> example of <code>OGS Mahjong components</code>.</li>
-</ul>
-<p><strong>Beyond Mahjong solitaire</strong></p>
-<p>In addition to <code>seed</code> parameter, you can let the game use remote layout hosted at GitHub:
-<a href="http://ogstudio.github.io/ogs-mahjong?seed=0&amp;layout=github://OGStudio/ogs-mahjong-components/data/cat.layout">http://ogstudio.github.io/ogs-mahjong?seed=0&amp;layout=github://OGStudio/ogs-mahjong-components/data/cat.layout</a></p>
-<p>Utilizing remote resources is an extremely powerful approach allowing anyone
-to create a layout of his/her choice and see the layout in action instantly.</p>
-<p>Our next step is to turn game logic into a resource, too.</p><p class="subheader">Category: <a href="http://opengamestudio.org/category/news.html">News</a>

+&lt;li&gt;making video games with those tools&lt;/li&gt;
+&lt;li&gt;preparing video game development tutorials&lt;/li&gt;
+&lt;/ul&gt;
+&lt;p&gt;This time we asked ourselves two simple questions:&lt;/p&gt;
+&lt;ul&gt;
+&lt;li&gt;What is an ideal video game?&lt;/li&gt;
+&lt;li&gt;What is an ideal video game development tool?&lt;/li&gt;
+&lt;/ul&gt;
+&lt;p&gt;The best answers we could think of are below.&lt;/p&gt;
+&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Answer 1: A video game is ideal if it delivers maximum pleasure possible&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
+&lt;p&gt;While content is probably the most important aspect to keep a player invested
+into the game, the technical side is the transport to deliver that content.
+There are quite a few technical problems that may damage otherwise excellent content of a game:&lt;/p&gt;
+&lt;ul&gt;
+&lt;li&gt;insufficient accessibility: the game does not run on your hardware&lt;/li&gt;
+&lt;li&gt;insufficient optimization: the game is slow&lt;/li&gt;
+&lt;li&gt;critical bugs: the game crashes from time to time&lt;/li&gt;
+&lt;/ul&gt;
+&lt;p&gt;We work hard to make sure the games we create are accessible everywhere.
+That's why we released
+&lt;a href="http://opengamestudio.org/mahjong-demo2.html"&gt;the second demonstration of OGS Mahjong 2&lt;/a&gt; only for
+the web: because you can run web version virtually anywhere.&lt;/p&gt;
+&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Answer 2: A video game development tool is ideal if it lets you create a video game of your dream in the shortest time possible&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
+&lt;p&gt;Even though we put a lot of effort into sharing our knowledge through
+&lt;a href="https://github.com/OGStudio/openscenegraph-cross-platform-guide"&gt;guides&lt;/a&gt; and &lt;a href="https://github.com/OGStudio/openscenegraph-cross-platform-examples"&gt;tutorials&lt;/a&gt;, we understand that those take a lot
+of time to study. One can't possibly make even a simple video game like
+&lt;a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Concentration_(game)"&gt;Memory&lt;/a&gt; without performing the following steps:&lt;/p&gt;
+&lt;ul&gt;
+&lt;li&gt;configure the development environment&lt;/li&gt;
+&lt;li&gt;write code&lt;/li&gt;
+&lt;li&gt;build an application&lt;/li&gt;
+&lt;li&gt;debug the application&lt;/li&gt;
+&lt;li&gt;repeat &lt;code&gt;write-build-debug&lt;/code&gt; steps as many times as necessary&lt;/li&gt;
+&lt;/ul&gt;
+&lt;p&gt;Writing code and debugging are probably the ultimate forms of input and output
+of any software, so we can't escape those. However, there are ways to
+completely remove (or at least significantly decrease) the need for
+&lt;code&gt;development environment setup&lt;/code&gt; and &lt;code&gt;build&lt;/code&gt; steps. And this is what we are
+going to do in the coming months.&lt;/p&gt;
+&lt;p&gt;Our goal for the coming months is to create a video game development tool that
+would allow any programmer (or sufficiently skilled person) to create the
+&lt;a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Concentration_(game)"&gt;Memory&lt;/a&gt; video game from scratch in an hour.&lt;/p&gt;
+&lt;p&gt;That's it for discussing how ideal video game and video game development tool
+look like, in our opinion.&lt;/p&gt;</content></entry><entry><title>Идеальные игры и средства для их разработки</title><link href="http://opengamestudio.org/ideal-gamedev-ru.html" rel="alternate"></link><published>2018-11-19T00:00:00+03:00</published><updated>2018-11-19T00:00:00+03:00</updated><author><name>Opensource Game Studio</name></author><id>tag:opengamestudio.org,2018-11-19:/ideal-gamedev-ru.html</id><summary type="html">&lt;p&gt;&lt;img alt="Screenshot" src="http://opengamestudio.org/2018-11-19-ideal-gamedev.png"&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

+&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Вопросы&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

+&lt;ul&gt;
+&lt;li&gt;создание бесплатных инструментов для разработки видеоигр&lt;/li&gt;
+&lt;li&gt;создание видеоигр с помощью этих инструментов&lt;/li&gt;
+&lt;li&gt;создание самоучителей по разработке видеоигр&lt;/li&gt;
+&lt;/ul&gt;
+&lt;p&gt;В этот раз мы решили задать себе пару простых вопросов:&lt;/p&gt;
+&lt;ul&gt;
+&lt;li&gt;Какова идеальная видеоигра?&lt;/li&gt;
+&lt;li&gt;Каков идеальный инструмент для разработки видеоигр?&lt;/li&gt;
+&lt;/ul&gt;
+&lt;p&gt;Ниже представлены наши ответы.&lt;/p&gt;
+&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Ответ 1: Видеоигра идеальна, если она доставляет максимально возможное удовольствие&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
+&lt;p&gt;Несмотря на то, что содержание является, пожалуй, самой важной частью,
+удерживающей человека в игре, техническая сторона является транспортом для
+доставки этого содержания. Существует немало технических проблем, которые
+могут полностью испортить впечатление даже от превосходного содержания:&lt;/p&gt;
+&lt;ul&gt;
+&lt;li&gt;недостаточная доступность: игра не идёт на оборудовании человека&lt;/li&gt;
+&lt;li&gt;недостаточная оптимизация: игра тормозит&lt;/li&gt;
+&lt;li&gt;критичные ошибки: игра падает время от времени&lt;/li&gt;
+&lt;/ul&gt;
+&lt;p&gt;Мы тратим много сил, чтобы сделать наши игры доступными везде. Именно поэтому
+мы выпустили &lt;a href="http://opengamestudio.org/mahjong-demo2-ru.html"&gt;вторую демонстрацию OGS Mahjong 2&lt;/a&gt; лишь для веба:
+т.к. вы можете запустить веб-версию практически где угодно.&lt;/p&gt;
+&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Ответ 2: Инструмент для разработки видеоигр идеален, если он позволяет создать игру мечты в кратчайшие возможные сроки&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
+&lt;p&gt;Несмотря на то, что мы тратим много усилий на то, чтобы делиться своими
+знаниями с помощью &lt;a href="https://github.com/OGStudio/openscenegraph-cross-platform-guide"&gt;руководств&lt;/a&gt; и &lt;a href="https://github.com/OGStudio/openscenegraph-cross-platform-examples"&gt;самоучителей&lt;/a&gt;, мы осознаём,
+что на работу с ними уходит много времени. Сейчас нельзя создать даже
+простейшую &lt;a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Concentration_(game)"&gt;видеоигру на память&lt;/a&gt; без выполнения следующих шагов:&lt;/p&gt;
+&lt;ul&gt;
+&lt;li&gt;настроить окружение разработки&lt;/li&gt;
+&lt;li&gt;написать код&lt;/li&gt;
+&lt;li&gt;собрать приложение&lt;/li&gt;
+&lt;li&gt;отладить приложение&lt;/li&gt;
+&lt;li&gt;повторить шаги &lt;code&gt;написать-собрать-отладить&lt;/code&gt; столько раз, сколько нужно&lt;/li&gt;
+&lt;/ul&gt;
+&lt;p&gt;Написание кода и отладка, пожалуй, являются конечными формами входа и
+выхода любого программного обеспечения, поэтому мы их не избежим. Однако,
+мы можем полностью избавиться от шагов (или хотя бы значительно сократить их)
+&lt;code&gt;настройки окружения разработки&lt;/code&gt; и &lt;code&gt;сборки&lt;/code&gt;. Именно на это мы и потратим
+ближайшие месяцы.&lt;/p&gt;
+&lt;p&gt;Наша цель на ближайшие месяцы состоит в том, чтобы создать такой инструмент
+разработки видеоигр, чтобы любой программист (или достаточно квалифицированный
+человек) мог создать &lt;a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Concentration_(game)"&gt;видеоигру на память&lt;/a&gt; с нуля за час.&lt;/p&gt;
+&lt;p&gt;На этом мы заканчиваем обсуждение, как выглядят идеальные видеоигра и
+инструмент для разработки видеоигр, по нашему мнению.&lt;/p&gt;</content></entry><entry><title>OGS Mahjong 2: Demo 2</title><link href="http://opengamestudio.org/mahjong-demo2.html" rel="alternate"></link><published>2018-10-02T00:00:00+03:00</published><updated>2018-10-02T00:00:00+03:00</updated><author><name>Opensource Game Studio</name></author><id>tag:opengamestudio.org,2018-10-02:/mahjong-demo2.html</id><summary type="html">&lt;p&gt;&lt;img alt="Screenshot" src="http://opengamestudio.org/2018-10-02-mahjong-demo2.png"&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

+<p>В этой статье мы обсудим, как выглядят идеальные видеоигра и инструмент для
+разработки видеоигр, по нашему мнению.</p>
+<p><strong>Вопросы</strong></p>
+<p>Как вы знаете, <a href="http://opengamestudio.org/pages/about-ru.html">целями Opensource Game Studio</a> являются:</p>

+<p>In this article, we discuss how ideal video game and video game development
+tool look like, in our opinion.</p>
+<p><strong>Questions</strong></p>
+<p>As you know, the <a href="http://opengamestudio.org/pages/about.html">goals of Opensource Game Studio</a> are:</p>
+<ul>
+<li>creation of free video game development tools</li>
+<li>making video games with those tools</li>
+<li>preparing video game development tutorials</li>
+</ul>
+<p>This time we asked ourselves two simple questions:</p>
+<ul>
+<li>What is an ideal video game?</li>
+<li>What is an ideal video game development tool?</li>
+</ul>
+<p>The best answers we could think of are below.</p>
+<p><strong>Answer 1: A video game is ideal if it delivers maximum pleasure possible</strong></p>
+<p>While content is probably the most important aspect to keep a player invested
+into the game, the technical side is the transport to deliver that content.
+There are quite a few technical problems that may damage otherwise excellent content of a game:</p>
+<ul>
+<li>insufficient accessibility: the game does not run on your hardware</li>
+<li>insufficient optimization: the game is slow</li>
+<li>critical bugs: the game crashes from time to time</li>
+</ul>
+<p>We work hard to make sure the games we create are accessible everywhere.
+That's why we released
+<a href="http://opengamestudio.org/mahjong-demo2.html">the second demonstration of OGS Mahjong 2</a> only for
+the web: because you can run web version virtually anywhere.</p>
+<p><strong>Answer 2: A video game development tool is ideal if it lets you create a video game of your dream in the shortest time possible</strong></p>
+<p>Even though we put a lot of effort into sharing our knowledge through
+<a href="https://github.com/OGStudio/openscenegraph-cross-platform-guide">guides</a> and <a href="https://github.com/OGStudio/openscenegraph-cross-platform-examples">tutorials</a>, we understand that those take a lot
+of time to study. One can't possibly make even a simple video game like
+<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Concentration_(game)">Memory</a> without performing the following steps:</p>
+<ul>
+<li>configure the development environment</li>
+<li>write code</li>
+<li>build an application</li>
+<li>debug the application</li>
+<li>repeat <code>write-build-debug</code> steps as many times as necessary</li>
+</ul>
+<p>Writing code and debugging are probably the ultimate forms of input and output
+of any software, so we can't escape those. However, there are ways to
+completely remove (or at least significantly decrease) the need for
+<code>development environment setup</code> and <code>build</code> steps. And this is what we are
+going to do in the coming months.</p>
+<p>Our goal for the coming months is to create a video game development tool that
+would allow any programmer (or sufficiently skilled person) to create the
+<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Concentration_(game)">Memory</a> video game from scratch in an hour.</p>
+<p>That's it for discussing how ideal video game and video game development tool
+look like, in our opinion.</p>

@@ -58,36 +127,14 @@ The purposes of this release were to refine our development techniques and
 build a solid cross-platform foundation.</p>
 <p><strong>Release</strong></p>
 <p>Run the latest version of OGS Mahjong 2 in your web browser:
-<a href="http://ogstudio.github.io/ogs-mahjong">http://ogstudio.github.io/ogs-mahjong</a></p>
-<p>You are encouraged to run the game with <code>seed</code> parameter like this:
-<a href="http://ogstudio.github.io/ogs-mahjong?seed=0">http://ogstudio.github.io/ogs-mahjong?seed=0</a></p>
-<p>This allows you to play the same layout each time you launch the game.</p>
-<p>Each seed uniquely identifies the placement of tiles. Thus, different seeds
-give you a different experience.</p>
-<p><strong>Development techniques and foundation</strong></p>
-<p>During the second demonstration development, we switched from standard
-development to <a href="http://opengamestudio.org/example-driven-development.html">example-driven one</a>. This resulted in the
-creation of three distinct repositories to back the development of OGS Mahjong 2:</p>
-<ul>
-<li><a href="https://github.com/OGStudio/openscenegraph-cross-platform-examples">OpenSceneGraph cross-platform examples</a> repository provides cross-platform foundation like resource handling, render window setup, etc.</li>
-<li><a href="https://github.com/OGStudio/ogs-mahjong-components">OGS Mahjong components</a> repository provides Mahjong specific functionality like parsing layout, matching tiles, etc.</li>
-<li><a href="https://bitbucket.org/ogstudio-games/ogs-mahjong">OGS Mahjong</a> repository contains snapshots of <code>OGS Mahjong components</code> features that comprise specific game version. E.g., <code>Demo 2</code> version is almost identical to <a href="https://github.com/OGStudio/ogs-mahjong-components/tree/master/05.ColorfulStatus">05.ColorfulStatus</a> example of <code>OGS Mahjong components</code>.</li>
-</ul>
-<p><strong>Beyond Mahjong solitaire</strong></p>
-<p>In addition to <code>seed</code> parameter, you can let the game use remote layout hosted at GitHub:
-<a href="http://ogstudio.github.io/ogs-mahjong?seed=0&amp;layout=github://OGStudio/ogs-mahjong-components/data/cat.layout">http://ogstudio.github.io/ogs-mahjong?seed=0&amp;layout=github://OGStudio/ogs-mahjong-components/data/cat.layout</a></p>
-<p>Utilizing remote resources is an extremely powerful approach allowing anyone
-to create a layout of his/her choice and see the layout in action instantly.</p>
-<p>Our next step is to turn game logic into a resource, too.</p><p class="subheader">Category: <a href="http://opengamestudio.org/category/news.html">News</a>

+Title: Идеальные игры и средства для их разработки
+Date: 2018-11-19 00:00
+Category: News
+Slug: ideal-gamedev
+Lang: ru
+
+![Screenshot][screenshot]
+
+В этой статье мы обсудим, как выглядят идеальные видеоигра и инструмент для
+разработки видеоигр, по нашему мнению.
+
+**Вопросы**
+
+Как вы знаете, [целями Opensource Game Studio][ogs-goals] являются:
+
+* создание бесплатных инструментов для разработки видеоигр
+* создание видеоигр с помощью этих инструментов
+* создание самоучителей по разработке видеоигр
+
+В этот раз мы решили задать себе пару простых вопросов:
+
+* Какова идеальная видеоигра?
+* Каков идеальный инструмент для разработки видеоигр?
+
+Ниже представлены наши ответы.
+
+**Ответ 1: Видеоигра идеальна, если она доставляет максимально возможное удовольствие**
+
+Несмотря на то, что содержание является, пожалуй, самой важной частью,
+удерживающей человека в игре, техническая сторона является транспортом для
+доставки этого содержания. Существует немало технических проблем, которые
+могут полностью испортить впечатление даже от превосходного содержания:
+
+* недостаточная доступность: игра не идёт на оборудовании человека
+* недостаточная оптимизация: игра тормозит
+* критичные ошибки: игра падает время от времени
+
+Мы тратим много сил, чтобы сделать наши игры доступными везде. Именно поэтому
+мы выпустили [вторую демонстрацию OGS Mahjong 2][mahjong-demo2] лишь для веба:
+т.к. вы можете запустить веб-версию практически где угодно.
+
+**Ответ 2: Инструмент для разработки видеоигр идеален, если он позволяет создать игру мечты в кратчайшие возможные сроки**
+
+Несмотря на то, что мы тратим много усилий на то, чтобы делиться своими
+знаниями с помощью [руководств][osgcpg] и [самоучителей][osgcpe], мы осознаём,
+что на работу с ними уходит много времени. Сейчас нельзя создать даже
+простейшую [видеоигру на память][concentration] без выполнения следующих шагов:
+
+* настроить окружение разработки
+* написать код
+* собрать приложение
+* отладить приложение
+* повторить шаги `написать-собрать-отладить` столько раз, сколько нужно
+
+Написание кода и отладка, пожалуй, являются конечными формами входа и
+выхода любого программного обеспечения, поэтому мы их не избежим. Однако,
+мы можем полностью избавиться от шагов (или хотя бы значительно сократить их)
+`настройки окружения разработки` и `сборки`. Именно на это мы и потратим
+ближайшие месяцы.
+
+Наша цель на ближайшие месяцы состоит в том, чтобы создать такой инструмент
+разработки видеоигр, чтобы любой программист (или достаточно квалифицированный
+человек) мог создать [видеоигру на память][concentration] с нуля за час.
+
+На этом мы заканчиваем обсуждение, как выглядят идеальные видеоигра и
+инструмент для разработки видеоигр, по нашему мнению.

+Title: Ideal games and game developement tools
+Date: 2018-11-19 00:00
+Category: News
+Slug: ideal-gamedev
+Lang: en
+
+![Screenshot][screenshot]
+
+In this article, we discuss how ideal video game and video game development
+tool look like, in our opinion.
+
+**Questions**
+
+As you know, the [goals of Opensource Game Studio][ogs-goals] are:
+
+* creation of free video game development tools
+* making video games with those tools
+* preparing video game development tutorials
+
+This time we asked ourselves two simple questions:
+
+* What is an ideal video game?
+* What is an ideal video game development tool?
+
+The best answers we could think of are below.
+
+**Answer 1: A video game is ideal if it delivers maximum pleasure possible**
+
+While content is probably the most important aspect to keep a player invested
+into the game, the technical side is the transport to deliver that content.
+There are quite a few technical problems that may damage otherwise excellent content of a game:
+
+* insufficient accessibility: the game does not run on your hardware
+* insufficient optimization: the game is slow
+* critical bugs: the game crashes from time to time
+
+We work hard to make sure the games we create are accessible everywhere.
+That's why we released
+[the second demonstration of OGS Mahjong 2][mahjong-demo2] only for
+the web: because you can run web version virtually anywhere.
+
+**Answer 2: A video game development tool is ideal if it lets you create a video game of your dream in the shortest time possible**
+
+Even though we put a lot of effort into sharing our knowledge through
+[guides][osgcpg] and [tutorials][osgcpe], we understand that those take a lot
+of time to study. One can't possibly make even a simple video game like
+[Memory][concentration] without performing the following steps:
+
+* configure the development environment
+* write code
+* build an application
+* debug the application
+* repeat `write-build-debug` steps as many times as necessary
+
+Writing code and debugging are probably the ultimate forms of input and output
+of any software, so we can't escape those. However, there are ways to
+completely remove (or at least significantly decrease) the need for
+`development environment setup` and `build` steps. And this is what we are
+going to do in the coming months.
+
+Our goal for the coming months is to create a video game development tool that
+would allow any programmer (or sufficiently skilled person) to create the
+[Memory][concentration] video game from scratch in an hour.
+
+That's it for discussing how ideal video game and video game development tool
+look like, in our opinion.
