"Many Indonesian people game production that demand at the international level, one of Dino Duel game and educational game that has been exported to 23 countries," said Bullitt Sesariza, Vice Chairman of the Community Development Society videogame Creative Industries Indonesia (MIKTI) in Jakarta, Friday ( 9 / 7).
According to Bullitt, game development industry in India from year to year show positive trends. Referred to the positive development of the game because the industry as one of 14 creative industry sectors that received the attention and full support from the government.
"In one to two years in the future game industry will remember the more interesting our domestic market is very big," said Bullitt.
It is said, at this time the game creator in the country working on various themed game education (educational game), game advertising (advertising), mobile games for mobile phones and game orders from overseas that circulating on the internet.
"Many casual games are downloaded through the Internet the results of the paper published by India but people outside," said Bullitt.
Special game advertising (advert gaming), according to Bullitt, the local market in Indonesia, dominated by local products. So also with the educational games also occupied by a local product because the game overseas is not entirely in accordance with the socio-cultural conditions of the Indonesian people.
"We really hope game industry in Indonesia can continue to grow with the support of the government. With so many creative ideas in Indonesia, we believe in one to two years before we can catch up from Singapore and Malaysia," he said.
At this time in the game industry in the country is still very small. In fact, business opportunities in this field are very promising with the level of employment is very large.

Countries that have been advanced in the industry as the game industry to the top of the middle class in Asia, namely Korea and Japan.
Other countries in Southeast Asia such as the Philippines also gave high appreciation for the workers in the field of animation and game creation.
In Indonesia, the industry developed a new game in recent years and have not be steal a glance by so many people.
Interest to study the youth game in Indonesia is quite high, but still a few institutions that provide higher education faculty in the field of animation including game.

10. COM-BAT - Solar-Powered Spy Plane
This gadget was conceived by the United States military as a tool of collecting information for soldiers. The design of the robotic spy plane was dubbed COM-BAT. The Army gave engineers at the University of Michigan College of Engineering a $ 10 million grant to create the bat-shaped spy plane in five years. COM-BAT would be powered by the sun, wind and vibrations.
Engineers will use the grant to built a Center for Objective Microelectronics and Biomimetic Advanced Technology (COM-BAT) that will create sensors, communication equipment, as well as batteries for the spy-plane. Some of the concepts for the bat include miniature cameras for stereo vision, a series of mini-microphones able to follow sounds coming from different directions, and tiny detectors able to identify nuclear radiation and poisonous gases.
In addition, the plane will feature "quantum dot solar cells" that have the capacity two times that of photovoltaics. COM-BAT will also include an independent navigation system that is 1,000 times smaller than the systems used today.
Annual list includes smallest snake and the microbes in hairspray
1. Smallest Snake
Each year, the International Institute for Species Exploration at Arizona State University lists the top 10 new species from the previous year, as selected by an international committee of experts. The list includes the world's smallest snake, known as Leptotyphlops carlae or the Barbados threadsnake. This specimen was found on Barbados and measures only 4.1 inches (104 millimeters) long. Click on the "Next" button above to see the nine other species. (The photo credits are take from : http://species.asu.edu)
2. Palm works itself to death
The Tahina palm, or Tahina spectabilis, is a gigantic new species of palm represented by fewer than 100 specimens, concentrated in a small area of northwestern Madagascar. The plant works itself to death, producing a spectacular display with countless flowers. After fruiting, the palm dies and collapses. Soon after the publication of the species, seeds were disseminated throughout the palm grower community. Sales raised money for conservation efforts, and it has become a highly prized ornamental.

Borneo's Phoebaeticus chani is considered the world's longest insect, with a body length of 14 inches (35.6 centimeters) and an overall length of 22.3 inches (56.7 centimeters). The inset shows the insect's head.
4. Little sea pony Satomi's pygmy seahorse, also known as Hippocampus satomiae, is the smallest known seahorse with a standard length of 0.54 inches (13.8 millimeters) and an approximate height of 0.45 inches (11.5 millimeters). The specimens were collected in waters off Derawan Island in Indonesia by dive guide Satomi Onishi.
5. spooky slug The ghost slug, or Selenochlamys ysbryda, was found in Cardiff, Wales - one of the last places on earth where you'd expect to spot a new species. Its species name is derived from "ysbryd," the Welsh word for a ghost or spirit. The name alludes to the creature's ghostly appearance, its nocturnal, predatory behavior and the mystery surrounding its origin.
6. Snail with a weird twist
This gastropod species, Opisthostoma vermiculum, represents a unique morphological evolution in its manner of shell twisting. Most gastropod shells tightly coil according to a logarithmic spiral and have an upper limit of three coiling axes - but O. vermiculum, discovered in Malaysia, has four different axes.
7. Nemo's true blue cousin
The Deep Blue Chromis, or Chromis abyssus, is a deep-dwelling fish from the neighborhood featured in the popular animated film "Finding Nemo." It was one of the first new species described in 2008. The discovery in the western Pacific, near Palau's Ngemelis Island, highlights how little we know about deep-reef diversity.
8. Devonian delivery
