Actualització lingüística i conversa d’anglès B2.1

I've finished the online speaking course "Actualització lingüística i conversa d’anglès B2.1" at Cornellà's EOI. I'm not going to get the certificate because I joined the course in the second term, but I worked hard, and I had the honor of being the most participative student in our Google Classroom, so my teacher congratulated me on my success.

The Death of Walahfrid: Telling history through game

I was looking for a new mystery game on Eventbrite when this activity caught my eye. It was part of the event York Festival of Ideas, and I signed up thinking that the creators of the historical mystery game The Death of Walahfrid were going to explain how they did it.

The webinar was a talk where the historians Dr Robert Pecksmith and Dr Lauren Stokeld explained their project. They focused on the origin and the theoretical goals, but I had played the game and I wanted to know more about the technical details. Finally, I asked through the chat and I found out the game was written in Javascript.
