=============================================================================== Title: Of Monkey Island and Kinetics Date: 30-04-2022 =============================================================================== I've always been curious about retrogaming. I mean - I was born in 90s so all the gigantic background of arcade games and game rooms has never been part of my life. Just a remote past I only read about online. Among all the titles there's one I desperately wanted to play: The Secret of Monkey Island. And today I made it. A special thank goes to ScummVM - a project that gives new life to the old graphical adventures. The idea is pretty simple: a virtual machine able to simulate different environments (Amiga, DOS, ...) that can be easily run on the main OSs. I cannot wait to become an infamous pirate - no offense to JD. During these days I'm preparing for the next exam: Molecular Modelling. The name sounds pretty interesting but chemical kinetics is not my bread and butter. The idea is to study the rate at which reactions occur from a theoretical point of view. In practice the course focused on tons calculations and mathematical derivations of the fundamental equations. Maybe one day I'll write about Collision Theory and Transition State Theory. But this is not the day.
