  Cat's cradle (string game) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Cat's cradle is a well known string game or series of string figures.
Then this player takes the string which runs on the inside of the left arm onto the first finger of their right hand, then, reaching through the triangle created, the loop on the inside of the right hand is taken onto the first finger of the left hand.
The game is later referenced by Newt Hoenikker, Felix's midget son, who describes the game by saying "No damn cat, and no damn Cradle"; thus expressing his view that the concepts and ideals taught by all human parents to their children are arbitrary conventions, and that life itself is essentially meaningless.

 String figure - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A string figure is a pattern formed by weaving string around one's fingers, or sometimes between the fingers of multiple people.
String figures may be created and altered as a game or as part of a story.
A great deal of additional information on string figures and on-going efforts to collect them worldwide and their often unique methods of construction is available in the publications of the International String Figure Association (ISFA).

 Game racket string suspension - Patent 4005862
A tubular structure for a tennis or like game racket is formed from modified metal tubular members arranged in a spaced oval relationship forming a racket portion.
The string mounting means of the present invention evenly distributes impact stresses among the cross-strings, and further provides inherent resiliency between the cross-strings and the racket frame, all of which are important in providing excellent performance characteristics to a game racket.
Hence, an improved game racket is provided wherein an oval shaped tubular frame firmly retains holding means for securing the racket cross strings in a spaced relationship.

 Inferno's GAMESRV(2)   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
A game engine can almost always ignore this technicality, except for one thing: the identifier used by a particular player to identify an object is not necessarily the same as that used by the game engine.
Where a function returns a string, it is interpreted as an error response to the player responsible for the request; an empty string signifies no error.
Game is the game that the engine is controlling, and srvmod is the Gamesrv module holding its associated data.

 SecurityTracker.com Archives - LithTech Engine Format String Bug Lets Remote Users Crash the Game Server
Exploiting these bugs "depends by the game" however the most easy and common method is through the sending of messages or the usage of a nickname containing the format arguments (like the classical %n%n%n).
The only exceptions in the usage of these 2 methods are that in some games the nickname method causes the crash of the same attacker while in others (just a couple of games) the message method works only when the server is dedicated.
The only game actually patched is Purge Jihad from version 2.2.2, only because I know the developers and so I have been able to alert them and they have fixed the bug filtering the client's data.

Baby Draw is a picture-charades game for baby showers that includes complete instructions, a one-minute timer and more than 100 playing cards (for big crowds or repeated use!) My thoughts: We could easily come up with this on our own without buying the game, if we wanted to save the money.
The prize for this game could be one of each of the candy bars used and the mother-to-be gets the rest of the diapers.
Most mothers will not be offended by this game because they are very proud of what is developing in their bodies but if you think she might be uncomfortable in the least bit, skip this one.

 SecurityTracker.com Archives - Hired Team: Trial Format String Flaw Lets Remote Users Execute Arbitrary Code
It is reported that a remote user can join a game and then send a specially crafted message containing format string characters to cause the target game service to crash or potentially execute arbitrary code.
The report indicates that the flaws may reside in the Shine engine (which the game is based on), but that no other games were tested, so it cannot be confirmed as to whether the flaws exist in the Shine engine or the Hired Team game software.
It seems to be the only game based on the Shine engine (created by the same developers) so I cannot compare the bugs found in this game with other games created with the same engine to know their "real nature" and if the engine has been modified from the 2001 till now.

In this part of the assignment, you'll enhance your previous CORBA license plate game program so that it uses AMI rather than SMI, a thread-per-connection or thread pool concurrency model rather than a reactive concurrency model, and an iterator rather than a vector of strings.
The commands will be sent to the server process, which will use a thread-per-connection or thread pool concurrency architecture to run commands and return results to each game session.
Only when all players and games have shutdown, however, should the server process actually exit.

Unique in comparison to most fighting games is that nearly all of the canned strings in Dead or Alive Ultimate allow you to insert a good amount of delay in between the individual strikes.
When you delay a string, your goal is to bait your opponent into jumping the gun with their response.
The problem is that the game engine allows for so much delay in between the individual parts of canned strings that you often do not get the attacks that you expect.

 The String Game with Ivan and Gus   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
The String Game was my favorite game for a few years, until we lost one of the participants.
The game came about this way: in our bedroom, there was a beanbag hassock (pictured above) in between the bed and the door.
So the game was pretty evenly matched, with first one cat then the other winning, and every now and then a tie, as Gus would catch the string for his sixth point as Ivan swatted him for his sixth point.
