Home History of Croquet The Game Rules ... Contact Us The Houston Croquet Association is a member club of the United States Croquet Association and plays on the croquet lawns in Memorial Park. We play the 6-wicket version of the game which differs from the familiar 9-wicket backyard game that most people are familiar with. It is sometimes referred to as "the sport of croquet" or competitive croquet. As a sport, croquet is played competitively around the world in various forms. There are American rules, Association Laws and Golf croquet, each with it's own merits and nuances. The HCA participates in all forms of the game. Whether you want to play competitively or just for fun, croquet has something to offer for everyone. Free introductory lessons are available and group events can be arranged. We usually play on Saturdays and Sundays and interested players are always welcome to stop by. The lawns are lighted for evening play.

In fact, he has attended exactly three. Each time, he manages to escape the camera, not upset anyone, not win much, and generally ride the croquet wave. This September however, Dirk made quite a splash. After all that, Dirk secured his place in the forefront of the League by volunteering to be our new Webmaster. Even though Nick Addington ( ) still holds the reigns of the website, Dirk has volunteered to give us tech support when problems crop up, updates need to be made, and the database needs to be fixed. For this sudden streak of dedication to the League, we name Dirk our October (September) Player of the Month. Dirk is a junior majoring in Geography.

@import url("http://www.blogger.com/css/blog_controls.css"); @import url("http://www.blogger.com/dyn-css/authorization.css?targetBlogID=8378574"); Croquet Friday, November 30, 2007 Croquet Priorities Mark McCahill and I have been discussing the top priorities for Croquet moving forward. Here is the list of the top six things that we will be doing for 2008. The main theme is interoperability. This is interoperability at many levels. First, ensuring Qwaq Forums and Open Croquet worlds are interoperable. Looking beyond that is allowing Croquet worlds and avatars to interoperate with other platforms. This will be a large effort, but many of the technical hurdles have already been jumped. - XML space description: a common space description file format in XML to allow the open source and QWAQ clients to read stored copies of each other's worlds. Minimizing the size of objects being replicated is important so that spaces may be saved compactly and new user joining the replicated space can do so quickly. In practice this means meshes and textures should be referred to by name in the replicated space, and fetched by each client

A Ballet With Mallets, Croquet Draws Players to UBC Grass November Reign V: Team Tournament Announced Wednesday, Oct. 31, 2007 Lo and behold, the season's second tourney is afoot. This time in team format, everyone now has a chance to attempt a collective ass whooping on their unsuspecting opponents. At stake this time is again Wile Cup points, but no trophy - instead winners take home the coveted NR medals...which are nice since you don't have to give them back to me in April. A big turnout is nice for this round of the Wile Cup as it makes for more teams and a more dynamic tourney. Also, make sure you post your attendance so we know what the makeup of teams is going to look like (ie how many teams, and how many in said teams). Once again entry is $2, with half going to winners.

36. Croquet - Online Guide A croquetlike game is believed to have been played by thirteenth century French peasants who used crudely fashioned mallets to whack wooden balls balls http://www.tradgames.org.uk/games/Croquet.htm

Home The Online Guide to Traditional Games Board Games Croquet and cousins Lawn Games Pub Games Game Index Table Games ... About Origins and Ground Billiards Mallet and ball games are thought to have been first played in England and Europe during the middle ages. Games would normally involve only one ball which would be struck through very wide hoops. A Croquet-like game is believed to have been played by thirteenth century French peasants who used crudely fashioned mallets to whack wooden balls balls through hoops made of willow branches. A variety of equipment has been found indicating that, as was typical, there were no standards and a variety of rules and types of game were in existence for several centuries. One type of game which this author calls Ground Billiards' featured a hoop and a stick, a point being scored for each time your ball was first through the hoop and onto hit the stick. At some point in the 15th century someone chose to invent an indoor variation of this played on a table which led to Billiards and that whole family of games Closh and hoops/rings? Mystery notwithstanding, from these medieval games sprang at least 4 modern distinct ancestors, all of which are still played today with varying degrees of popularity.

It's designed to provide educators and students with a way of linking 3D activities across multiple white boards by leveraging many of Croquet's existing capabilities. Greenbush is working to ensure that The Edusim is being developed with resource packs for the K-12 classroom. This is exactly the type of application that Croquet technology was designed to make possible. Kudos to Rich for helping to bring Croquet to the next level. The video says it all.

38. FAQs - Croquet Consortium Answer croquet, as a software development environment, is more extensible than the proprietary technologies behind collaborative worlds such as Second Life http://croquetproject.org/index.php/FAQs

var skin = 'monobook';var stylepath = '/skins'; var wgScriptPath=""; var wgServer="http://croquetproject.org"; FAQs From Croquet Consortium Jump to: navigation search Contents How is Croquet different from other technologies that seem similar? Why do we need Croquet? Who created Croquet? What is TeaTime? ... edit How is Croquet different from other technologies that seem similar? Answer: Croquet, as a software development environment, is more extensible than the proprietary technologies behind collaborative worlds such as Second Life , and before that ViOS . Second Life doesn't create a computational environment that belongs to its users - it uses a constrained computational environment (its servers) to capture "eyeballs" for a variety of schemes to derive revenue from them. With Croquet, users/developers may freely share, modify and view the source code (due to Croquet's liberal license), the technology is not hosted on a single organization’s server (and hence governed by that organization as was the case with ViOS and now with Second Life), and it provides a complete professional programmer’s language (Smalltalk/Squeak), integrated development environment (IDE), and class library in every distributed, running participant’s copy (the programming development environment itself is simultaneously shareable and extensible). Croquet based worlds can also be updated while the system is live and running. For more on how Croquet differs from SL, read this Some of the environments that are enabled by Croquet can superficially resemble those of Sun's
