Like all parkour games, the primary playing method of Temple Run is crossing the obstacles and traps to continuous running. In this game, players control a character that is escaped from an ancient temple in the tropical rain forest and is caught up by a group of fiendish guards. The character is automatically run forward, while players need to control him to avoid the dangers in the run. However, it is quite difficult to get a high score without the use of some tips.
The first major strategy I want to suggest is running into small obstacles deliberately, such as small branches. As the game progresses, I gain speed that can be uncontrollable, and I need to learn how to use it to my advantage. To overcome barriers when moving at high speed,
ensure that I jump right in the middle of the tree root lying on the path at different locations. For closely placed obstacles, I make sure that I jump exactly near them. However, because of the high speed, sometimes, it is hard to avoid obstacles. At that time, I will run into the small tree root knowingly. I will reduce the running speed because I am stumbled. Hence, I can run forward via sliding my fingers across the screen to turn, jump, or to avoid obstacles. It is useful especially when I near to the cornet because the setting of the game is do not allow me to see what obstacle is coming next. Hence, at the corners, I should turn suddenly so that I can see the oncoming hurdles. This strategy is able to let me adjust the uncontrollable speed, which helps me run forward without stumbling over to score the highest points. Although this strategy is useful, I will not try to do it because of my psychological quality. After being stumbled, the danger of seizing on the monsters increases because the distance between devils and I reduces. When I see these black monsters, I become nervous. This emotion leads that I am hard to focus on the obstacle before me. I may even forget to jump or slide. The second play strategies can be applied to increase the score is tilting my device while playing. In the playing process, on areas where I need to collect coins, I tilt the device I am using to lean on the coins direction. The more coins I collect, the better because they will give me different privileges. These coins are used to buy several useful utilities such as power-ups, invisibility that allows me to freely run without the need of jumping or sliding, and resurrection wing, which can cheat death once I fall off. Tilting my device while playing allows me to collect as many coins without falling off because I just lean on one side. This strategy works for me because it allows a swift change of direction while I can still see the oncoming hurdles. It allows me to play longer compared to when I swipe the screen to move to the side with coins. Using this strategy makes the game easier and enjoyable, and I run a longer distance collecting as many coins. In conclusion, the strategies mentioned above are effective. The first playing style is reducing the speed, and the second is collecting more coins. Both of them is ensuring that the player can keep running. In this game, the longer you run, the more you enjoy the game. Of course there are many other tips for this game, like setting my phone on airplane mode to avoid any distractions. These strategies are not isolated, which means you can choose several tips at the same time. They give the game an enjoyable flow. Different kinds of play strategies may guide different kinds of play styles. You can play for as long as you want as long as you observe them because they make the game of Temple Run exciting, easy, and fun.
The exchange of views whether a student should attend an HBCU or a PWI has been a topic of discussion for some time now. Whether you attend an HBCU or a PWI you go for one purpose and that purpose is to get your education. So who says because someone goes to a predominantly black school they will not get the same education a person gets that goes to a predominantly white school ? Or vice versa. Many people have some sort of idea that by attending a Predominantly White Institution(PWI) one will receive a higher level of education but that is not truly always the case. Most individuals are under the impression that simply because of your skin color you have to attend that type of school. That is the problem with this case just people see it as one should attend the college with individuals who are like you but not keeping one 's education in mind.
Should college athletes be required to graduate with a degree, before they go to the pro’s? I believe that all colleges should make it mandatory for their student athletes to graduate before they are allowed to go to the pro’s. Only a small percentage of student athletes go on to have a career in professional sports after college. The few that are lucky enough to make it to the pro’s usually end up playing for a couple of years and then end up not being able to find work. College athletes should be required to obtain degree’s because not only does it allow you to have something to fall back on if you can’t make it to the pro’s, but it also can show pro sports teams that you are a mature individual, and your education is important to you as well.
The impact of college athletic programs on academics has always been a controversial and contentious topic. It seems that athletic programs have some contemplative effects on academics of colleges and universities. Different people have different ideas about how college athletic programs should be carried on. College presidents, administrations, student athletes, parents of students, and athletic trainers are along with these people who point out different facts about the fallouts of athletics on academics. A bunch of people suggest that athletic programs should be dropped from college system, while another group suggests that athletic programs should be taken care with more advertence. An analysis on the effects of college athletics on academics has two personal approaches: college athletics undermine academics, and athletics amplify academic experience.
Education and athletics, two of the most prized activities within our society. It's therefore no surprise that the two so closely link in one of our society’s favorite pastimes: college sports. Some believe that these two things benefit each other and some don’t. In the Forbes article titled “Rethinking the Benefits of College Athletics,” the author Jonathan Robe, a research fellow at the Center for College Affordability, explains, “In my short life, I’ve long been perplexed with the way many higher ed administrators–particularly college presidents–tend to laud college sports for the benefits they add to institutions of higher learning.“ He argues that college athletics do not benefit colleges and in some ways can even harm them. A majority of the supports are strong and, despite a few ineffective supports and language, Robe's argument is effective for its intended audience.
It seems to be a very popular notion to argue that college athletes should be paid just like pro athletes. College athletes put in hours on end for practice, games, and they bring in money for the school. Many fans of the sport spend money on tickets for games, merchandise, and when betting on the games. Television broadcasting alone of college sports have soared to nearly $2 billion a year (Koba, 1). The biggest argument is that college athletes should be paid because they generate so much money for the schools they represent. The amount of money big colleges bring in every year is staggering. Why shouldn’t they be compensated for their efforts when so much money is being made? And are they really making money though, or are they actually losing money? However, with most to all college athletes having their college tuition paid for, what greater reward could they ask for than a free education?
Education and Athletics, two of the most prized activities within our society. So is it any surprise that the two are so closely linked in one of our societies favorite pastimes College Sports? Some believe that these two things benefit each other and some don’t. In this Rhetorical Analysis I will be analyzing the argument presented by the article titled Rethinking the Benefits of College Athletics, which questions the academic benefit that college athletics provide. The article which appeared in Forbes magazine is written by Johnathan Robe a research fellow at the Center for College Affordability and Productivity. The author describes his thesis in the first sentence of the article stating “In my short life, I’ve long been perplexed with the way many higher ed administrators–particularly college presidents–tend to laud college sports for the benefits they accrue to institutions of higher learning.“ (Robe 1) arguing that college athletics are not beneficial to colleges and in some ways can even be harmful. Robe's argument does provide supporting evidence, however it is unlikely to convince those readers that come into it with an opposing view.
Many students in college are not strictly going to class; they are also walking onto a turf or court. Those students are also known as athletes. Athletes who are passionate about the sport they play usually get noticed by a higher education institution. Those higher education institutions usually give that athlete money to play for the college or university. Being given money is beneficial, but that money is being given for athletic ability not academics. So, which one would a college student work harder for? Athletics even though is helpful for paying for school, has a negative influence on academics.
College is a time for young people to develop and grow not only in their education, but social aspects as well. One of the biggest social scenes found around college campuses are athletic events, but where would these college sports be without their dedicated athletes? Student athletes get a lot of praise for their achievements on the field, but tend to disregard the work they accomplish in the classroom. Living in a college environment as a student athlete has a great deal of advantages as well as disadvantages that affect education and anti-intellectualism.
The concept of college athletics has been around for more than approximately 150 years (Siegel). From the very beginning, college athletics were destined to become a full-fledged, vital part in higher education. Their importance and significance from the start until now is undeniable. College athletics play a valuable role and are beneficial to institutions in ways such as promoting positive character development among athletes, establishing unity from a surplus of people, and supporting college experiences and traditions. These are just a few of their contributions to higher education. Although there are various controversies surrounding these points, they are just some of the reasons that athletics will remain embedded in university life for decades to come.
Last year thirteen college freshmen were selected in the first round of the NBA draft (ESPN). That is almost half of the first round. The “one and done rule” is a rule that requires players to be at least nineteen years old and have one year removed from high school to enter into the NBA draft (Rice). “One and dones” are becoming a big part of college basketball and the NBA. The past three years the number one and number two picks have been freshman. Major basketball programs like Kentucky and Duke have even shaped their teams around this concept. Top high school recruits are constantly playing college basketball for a year just to enter the NBA draft. The NBA has not made any effort to change this rule, even though many people believe it is
The compensation of college athletes may seem simple, but there are many variables that play a factor in a decision so impactful like this. Such as which athletes get paid, how much do athletes receive, and the most controversial question of all who pays these athletes. Concluding on a decision is difficult for the decision-makers of college athletics. In one of my sources A solution for the pay for play dilemma of college athletes. The author suggests the answer is right in front of our faces, instead of arguing about these variables just remove the amateur label off all college athletes and let Adidas, Nike, under armor, and other corporation’s compensate these athletes. Also instead of the pay for play concept these athletes would receive
When applying to University there are multiple steps which lead to many frustrations and stress. Everyone from the top student to the student who is forced to apply, deals with these frustrations. In my experience, I threw things, abused my computer, and my eyes may have watered from the frustrations of course. Not only is the process hard, filling in every form, obtaining letter of recommendation, but the four years that you spent trying to come up with the information you are providing was hard.
Playing in the NCAA ( The National College Athletics Association ) is almost every high school athletes dream when they think about their futures as an athlete. As an athlete playing for the association, they may struggle, and have to sacrifice a lot, for no return.AAA Athletes that make billions and billions of dollars for this association, could very well be the ones struggling just to get by. There sport dominates their lives; there is no way to make money while having more than enough on their plate with being a student, and being an athlete. To these coaches, sports are the first priority, so making money just isn’t in the cards for these players.
Being a running back is the hardest position to play in football. In order to be the best running back like Walton Peyton, the athlete needs to study the playbook, perform speed drills, and practice hard.
Walking races (also called racewalking) are an athletic competition similar to running races but not completely the same. In walking races, individuals walk at fast speeds, follow specific rules, and travel long distances. A popular Olympic sport, walking races are challenging because they require the participant to keep one foot on the ground at all times and the athletes back toe can't be lifted until the front heel hits the ground. Participants are also required to keep their back leg straight until the person has moved forward and is ready to take another step.
