<br />
== Sports ==<br />
Cervantes has played soccer since he was 7 years old. He entered the rep system two years later, and has played on some fairly high calibur teams, such as Glen Shields. He is playing badminton quite seriously; Cervantes also enjoys cycling.<br />

== Past Avatars ==<br />
Cervantes' avatars used to always have some correlation back to the name ''"Cervantes"''. This was usually in the form of adding a bit of ''pirate'' to the avatar, with the exception of Buddy Cervantes, which was a mix between an image of [[Miguel de Cervantes]] and Buddy Jesus. Since using the Boss from Dilbert, this rule has been relaxed greatly.<br />

<div>[[Image:Forces_ss.jpg|thumb|200px|right|Forces]]<br />
<br />
== Forces ==<br />
Forces is an original genre game, written in [[Turing]] by [[Windsurfer]] (Adam Bielinski). It is considered to be one of the best examples of Turing developed games, rivaling [[Coutsos]]'s [[Evasive Maneuvers]].<br />
<br />
== About Forces ==<br />
You are a small circle controlled by the mouse. You make sparkles to hurl at enemies that try to run and collide with you. There are 6 different and distict enemies.<br />
<br />
[http://www.compsci.ca/v2/viewtopic.php?t=12464|Turing Applications Post] and [http://www.compsci.ca/v2/viewtopic.php?t=12468|FP 2006 Submission]<br />
<br />
== Guide to Playing Forces ==<br />
*You control a small spherical ball of pulsating energy. To move about the infinite space, move the mouse around the window. If you go outside of the window, the game will pause. You can also pause the game by pressing ESC on the keyboard.<br />
**To create sparkles, press A or left-click.<br />
**To repel sparkles, press D or right-click.<br />
**To attract sparkles, press S or middle-click.<br />
*The faster a sparkle is moving, the more damage an enemy receives by getting hit by it.<br />
<br />
<br />
==Special Powers==<br />
<br />
*To use ''Special Powers'' press the Spacebar.<br />
**To switch your active special power, press Alt or the letter 'B'.<br />
<br />
; Force Vortex : A swirling frenzy of chaotic destruction. A favourite of many.<br />
; Force Spray : Super-fast sparkles explode in all directions, leaving short work of most enemies<br />
; Force Repel : Repels all enemies, making you practically invincible while using it. It also repels sparkles ''much'' stronger than normal.<br />
; Force Lightning : The favourite of the evil genius. Huge destruction to the closest foes, not to mention some health leaching.<br />
<br />
== Enemies ==<br />
<br />
There are 6 enemies in the game, of varying speeds, health, and AI.<br />

<hr />
<div>[[Avatar]] Themes consist of a set of avatars for various users, all following a common theme. The theme is decided upon in the [[IRC Channel]].<br />
<br />
==Members==<br />
[[Mazer]] and [[Cervantes]] make a new theme in the first few days of each month. Others will sometimes join, such as [[Hikaru79]] and [[Cornflake]].<br />
<br />
Mazer's avatars are often a Ninja'd version of something in the theme, while Cervantes' avatars are always Pirated (oh, oh, pun!).<br />
<br />
==History==<br />
<br />
===Pythong===<br />
Turns out alot of people type "[http://www.pythong.org Pythong]" when they mean to type "Python" and somebody decided to take advantage of it.<br />
<br />
[[Image:Hasselhoffian-recursion2.gif|100px|Hasselhoff original]]<br />

[[Image:Hasselhoffian-recursion4.gif|100px|Hasselhoff weird...]]<br />
[[Image:Hasselhoffian-recursion5.gif|100px|Hasselhoff AYBABTU!]]<br />
<br />
===What the Duck?===<br />
The biggest, avatar theme was [[DuckFest]].<br />
<br />
===The Baldur's Gate Revolution===<br />
The next avatar theme, of [[Cervantes]]' creation, was the NPC's from Baldur's Gate. [[Cervantes]] took [[Minsc]], [[Cornflake]] [[Edwin]], and [[El Comandante]] Garrick.<br />
<br />
[[Image:Pirate_Minsc.jpg|100px|Cervantes - Pirate Minsc]]<br />
[[Image:BG1Edwin.jpg|100px|Cornflake - Edwin]]<br />
[[Image:BG1Garrick.jpg|100px|El Comandante - Garrick]]<br />
<br />
===Chuck Norris===<br />
In December 2005, Cervantes and Mazer made [[Chuck Norris]] avatars.<br />
<br />
[[Image:Pirate_chuck.png|100px|Cervantes - Pirate Chuck]]<br />
[[Image:Musashinorris.jpg|100px|Mazer - Musashi Norris]]<br />
<br />
===Penny Arcade Violence===<br />
In January 2006, Cervantes and Mazer made avatars involving violence in [[Penny Arcade]].<br />
<br />
[[Image:PA_Eye_Screwdriver.JPG|100px|Cervantes - Modified Nerf Weapons]]<br />
[[Image:bhg.jpg|100px|Mazer - BrownHairedGuy strangled]]<br />
<br />
===Calvin and Hobbes===<br />
In February 2006, Hikaru79, Mazer, and Cervantes made avatars of [[Calvin and Hobbes]]. Hikaru79 had a Calvin and Hobbes avatar for a long time, and had promised to partake in some of the previous avatar themes, though he never did. So, Cervantes and Mazer brought this month's avatar theme to Hikaru79.<br />
<br />

[[Image:Hikaru79_Hobbes.jpg|100px|Hikaru79 - Hobbes]]<br />
[[Image:Hobbes.jpg|100px|Mazer - Hobbes]]<br />
<br />
===Actors===<br />
March 2006's avatar theme was actors or characters from movies.<br />
<br />
[[Image:Pirate_elrond.jpg|100px|Cervantes - Pirate Elrond]]<br />
[[Image:Haninja-solo.png|100px|Mazer - Ninja Han Solo]]<br />
[[Image:GandalfAvatar2.gif|100px|Gandalf]]<br />
<br />
<br />
===Hello Kitty===<br />
To go along with the [[April Fools]] joke of 2006, some users (without their consent) changed their avatars to a Hello Kitty theme.<br />
<br />
[[Image:hellodan.jpg|100px|Hacker Dan - Cyborg Kitty]]<br />
[[Image:hellotony.gif|100px|Tony - Hell-o Satan]]<br />
[[Image:hellotim.jpg|100px|Timmy - Pirate Kitty]]<br />
[[Image:hellostar.gif|100px|Star - Stop the Evil]]<br />
[[Image:helloaaron.jpg|100px|Amailer]]<br />
[[Image:Kittycervantes.jpg|100px|Cervantes - Ninja Kitty]]<br />
[[Image:Kittymazer.gif|100px|Mazer - Pirate Kitty]]<br />
[[Image:Kittyperson.jpg|100px|Person - Flowery Kitty]]<br />
<br />
===Bill Gates===<br />
Aside from the one day Hello Kitty event, April 2006's avatar theme was [[Bill Gates]], since he is so loved by everyone in the [[CompSci.ca]] community. This was [[Mazer]]'s and [[Cervantes]]' April Fool's joke extended for one month. As a further joke, they switched the ninja/pirate rule: Cervantes used a ninja avatar made by Mazer while Mazer used a pirate avatar made by Cervantes.<br />
<br />
[[Image:Ninja_bill.jpg|100px|Cervantes - Ninja Bill]]<br />
[[Image:Pirate_bill.jpg|100px|Mazer - Pirate Bill]]<br />
<br />
===[[Ruby]]===<br />
For May 2006, [[Mazer]] mouse-drew an avatar for himself and another for [[Cervantes]], both of which involved a ruby.<br />
<br />
[[Image:Ninjaruby.png|100px|Mazer - Ninja stealthily stealing a ruby]]<br />
[[Image:Pirateruby.jpg|100px|Cervantes - Pirate brilliantly stealing a ruby by disguising it as his parrot]]<br />
<br />
===Void===<br />
For June 2006, Mazer and Cervantes took a break. That's not to say that they did not change their avatars. The removed the Ruby avatars and replaced them with nothing. No avatar.<br />
<br />
===Bunny Suicides===<br />
For July 2006, several members took their avatars from [http://www.retrocomputing.net/racconti/umor/coniglio/pandora.beptuui.html Bunny Suicides].<br />

<div>[[The]] #compsci.ca channel on IRC is where all the cool members are hanging out. Chances are, if you're not there, you're missing something exciting and important.<br />
<br />
To join the CompSci.ca IRC community, you need an [[IRC Client]]. We recommend [[X-Chat]]. Join any of the servers and channels described below.<br />
<br />
==Networks==<br />
===CompSci.ca's own IRC Network===<br />
'''Server:''' irc.compsci.ca<br />
<br />
'''Main Channel:''' #compsci.ca<br />
<br />
'''Off Topic Channel:''' #compsci.ca-chat<br />
<br />
This new network was formed by (in no particular order) Hacker_Dan, md, timmytheturtle, Hikaru79, TheFerret, and rdrake. You can join either the server above, or one of the following leaf servers (excluding irc.compsci.ca, which is a hub):<br />
*irc.compsci.ca ([[Hacker_Dan]])<br />
*nadia.irc.compsci.ca ([[md]]/[[cornflake]])<br />
*melchior.irc.compsci.ca ([[timmytheturtle]])<br />
*ferret.irc.compsci.ca ([[TheFerret]])<br />
*darkmatter.irc.compsci.ca:16667 ([[rdrake]]/[[cartoon_shark]])<br />
Of course, the owners of the servers are also your friendly neighbourhood IRCops.<br />
<br />
Joining a server near you *might* improve your latency; at least with those who are also near you. The server's are located as follows:<br />
*irc.compsci.ca -> Thunder Bay<br />
*nadia.irc.compsci.ca -> Ottawa<br />
*melchior.irc.compsci.ca -> Kingston<br />
*ferret.irc.compsci.ca -> Sarnia<br />
*darkmatter.irc.compsci.ca -> Oshawa<br />
<br />
===CompSci.ca community on AfterNET===<br />
<br />
'''Server:''' irc.afternet.org<br />
<br />
'''Main Channel:''' #compsci.ca<br />
<br />
'''Off Topic Channel:''' #compsci.ca-chat<br />
<br />
'''Self-taught Programming Channel:''' #cs-self-taught<br />
<br />
==History==<br />
===Of The Main Channel===<br />
<br />
Much of #compsci.ca's early history is shrouded in mystery. Nobody is quite sure the exact time when it was created, but rumour has it that [[Coutsos]] was its founder, although he did not begin to regularly attend it until quite some time later. Its first regular inhabitants were [[wtd]] and a mysterious lurker named [[Ultrahex]], who though a member of compsci does not seem to ever post on the forums. Things took off sometime in early 2005, when a wave of members, including [[Hikaru79]], [[Coutsos]], [[Cervantes]], and [[Gandalf]] started regularly attending the channel. At present, #compsci.ca has a regular population of about ten, give or take, although it is subject to occasional flurries of activity, often when the moon is full.<br />
<br />
As of April 15th, 2006, #compsci.ca is for [[CompSci.ca]] and programming related discussion. Excessive off topic discussion is to be held in #compsci.ca-chat.<br />
<br />
===Of The Self-taught Programming Channel===<br />
This channel was thought of on the [http://www.compsci.ca/v2/viewtopic.php?t=10613 forums] by [[wtd]] on December 14, 2005. The main interest of this new channel is [[Ruby]] and [[O'Caml]]. This channel is not for the people who are taught programming in high school but for the people who self-teach it. When [[wtd]] announced it, there was a great cheer for [[wtd]] since he created the channel for the rest of the users to use and ask questions about.<br />
<br />
===Of The Compsci.ca Chat Channel===<br />
Founded in April 15th, 2006 during the [[Great IRC Crackdown]] of 2006, it was designed to reduce much of the spam going on in the #compsci.ca main room.<br />
<br />
This new channel is a place for more relaxed chat, the old is for more [[CompSci.ca]] related discussion and computer science in general. Programming, operating systems, etc., it's all welcome in #compsci.ca. If you are going to spam, please join #compsci.ca-chat. If you spam too much, you will be devoiced and/or kicked.<br />
<br />
==Daily Life==<br />
<br />
Much of #compsci.ca's time is spent in utter silence (while its members spend time in deep personal reflection and thought), broken periodically by outbursts of conversation, instruction, and weirdness. Hilarity often ensues. Confusion can become rampant when [[the]] mature members take to stealing each other's nicknames (see [[Coutsos Identity Crisis]]). On a good day, [[wtd]] can be observed teaching some interesting, mind-blowing new programming concept.<br />
<br />
Ocasionally if you are really lucky you'll witness something as bizzare as [http://www.compsci.ca/wiki/index.php?title=IRC_2006_01_17 this wonderful event].<br />
<br />
== IRC Names to CompSci.ca User Names ==<br />
*'''[[wtd]]''' - wtd, Lotho<br />
*'''[[Cornflake]]''' - God, md, or cornflake<br />
*'''[[Coutsos]]''' - Coutsos<br />
*'''[[Cervantes]]''' - Cervantes, [[Minsc]], and 100's of other variations that come up<br />
*'''[[Gandalf]]''' - Gandalf, [Gandalf]<br />
*'''[[Hikaru79]]''' - Hikaru79<br />

*Bored - Bored, Confused<br />
<br />
<br/>*Note: May vary greatly when [[name-switching game]] is in progress.<br />
<br />
==The Future==<br />
<br />
The future for #compsci.ca is looking bright, as it receives more and more attention in the compsci.ca community, particularly through the siggies and evangelism of [[Cervantes]], [[Coutsos]], and [[Hikaru79]]. With any luck, it will soon be as integral a part of the compsci.ca experience as the forum has come to be. <br />
<br />
[[Hacker Dan]] has integrated a Java-based IRC client that will send users to the channel directly from the forums. The feature is currently included in the alpha version of [[V3]].</div>Cervanteshttp://wiki.compsci.ca/index.php?title=CervantesCervantes2006-05-07T23:16:16Z<p>Cervantes: avatar cycle</p>
<hr />
<div>== Who is Cervantes? ==<br />
<br />
[[Image:Pirateruby.jpg|thumb|100px|right|Pirate cleverly stealing a ruby disguised as his parrot; Cervantes' current avatar]]<br />
<br />
Cervantes is a regular on the [[CompSci.ca]] forums and in the [[IRC channel]]. He introduced himself in the [http://www.compsci.ca/v2/viewtopic.php?p=37235#37235 Official hello world thread] like so:<br />
<br />
"Ahoy maties. I be Cervantes, and my hobbies include the following:<br />
*Rape and Pillage<br />
*Death and Destruction<br />
*Sailing the High Seas<br />
<br />
If ye be so inclined as to join me on my expeditions, ye must be the sole reason for the evacuation of an entire town population greater than 50, ye must never have been in prison, ye must kill a ninja, and ye must not say "Shiver me Timbres" like that creepy Paul Bian character."<br />
<br />
== The Name ==<br />
Cervantes originally got his name from the pirate in [[Soul Calibur]], which he played on the [[Sega]] [[Dreamcast]]. Since then, he has discovered [[Miguel de Cervantes]], who he also thinks is quite cool. <br />
<br />
Cervantes' name was first degraded by [[TokenHerbz]], who called him ''"Canvas"''. After being severly reprimanded, [[TokenHerbz]] did not learn his lesson: He went on to call Cervantes other grotesque variations.<br />
<br />
== Academics ==<br />
Cervantes is currently a grade 12 student attending [[Newmarket High School]], in the [[GTA | Greater Toronto Area]]. He is going to University next year, and his first choice is currently [[Applied mathematics]] at the [[University of Waterloo]]. He is also looking at [[Engineering Physics]] at [[McMaster University]]. <br />
<br />
== Sports ==<br />
Cervantes has played soccer since he was 7 years old. He entered the rep system two years later, and has played on some fairly high calibur teams, such as Glen Shields. He is playing badminton quite seriously; Cervantes also enjoys cycling.<br />
<br />
== Music ==<br />
Cervantes likes the older music. The Rock & Roll of Elvis Presley and Buddy Holly; the 60's pop of The Beatles, The Kinks, and The Band; the rockin' folk of Bob Dylan, Neil Young, Simon & Garfunkel, Dire Straits; the pyschedalia of Yes and Jimi Hendrix; and the classic rock of various others, including Quicksilver Messenger Service, Fleetwood Mac, CCR, The Guess Who/Bachman Turner Overdrive, Moody Blues, Pink Floyd, old Rolling Stones, Supertramp, The Who, and Eric Clapton.<br />
<br />
Cervantes greatly dislikes rap and doom/death metal. Punk is pretty high up there, too.<br />

<br />
== Past Avatars ==<br />
Cervantes' avatars must always have some correlation back to the name ''"Cervantes"''. This is usually in the form of adding a bit of ''pirate'' to the avatar, with the exception of Buddy Cervantes, which was a mix between an image of [[Miguel de Cervantes]] and Buddy Jesus.<br />

<div>#REDIRECT [[Mazer]]</div>Cervanteshttp://wiki.compsci.ca/index.php?title=MazerMazer2006-05-07T00:05:47Z<p>Cervantes: </p>
<hr />
<div>==Who is Mazer?==<br />
Mazer is a proud Greek man studying computer science at the [[University of Windsor]]. He is one of the earliest remaining members of [[CompSci.ca]], though his existance is woven in fog. Being a ninja, Mazer tries to remain as stealthy as possible. He has achieved this through numerous name changes and by his ordinary rank on [[CompSci.ca]], despite the fact that he is a moderator. Mazer is the original creator of the [[IRC channel]]. He is the author of [[Evasive Maneuvers]]. He is a leader in the monthly [[Avatar Themes]].<br />
<br />
===The Name===<br />
Mazer's [[CompSci.ca]] name began as "Mazer", then it was later changed to "Coutsos", which happens to be his last name. He goes by either "Coutsos" or more prevalently "niko" on the [[IRC channel]]. In early 2006, he changed his [[CompSci.ca]] name back to "Mazer", creating a vast deal of confusion.</div>Cervanteshttp://wiki.compsci.ca/index.php?title=Avatar_ThemesAvatar Themes2006-05-06T23:52:34Z<p>Cervantes: </p>
<hr />
<div>[[Avatar]] Themes consist of a set of avatars for various users, all following a common theme. The theme is decided upon in the [[IRC Channel]].<br />
<br />
==Members==<br />
[[Mazer]] and [[Cervantes]] make a new theme in the first few days of each month. Others will sometimes join, such as [[Hikaru79]] and [[Cornflake]].<br />
<br />
Mazer's avatars are often a Ninja'd version of something in the theme, while Cervantes' avatars are always Pirated (oh, oh, pun!).<br />
<br />
==History==<br />
<br />
===Pythong===<br />
Turns out alot of people type "[http://www.pythong.org Pythong]" when they mean to type "Python" and somebody decided to take advantage of it.<br />
<br />

<br />
===What the Duck?===<br />
The biggest, avatar theme was [[DuckFest]].<br />
<br />
===The Baldur's Gate Revolution===<br />
The next avatar theme, of [[Cervantes]]' creation, was the NPC's from Baldur's Gate. [[Cervantes]] took [[Minsc]], [[Cornflake]] [[Edwin]], and [[El Comandante]] Garrick.<br />
<br />
[[Image:Pirate_Minsc.jpg|100px|Cervantes - Pirate Minsc]]<br />
[[Image:BG1Edwin.jpg|100px|Cornflake - Edwin]]<br />
[[Image:BG1Garrick.jpg|100px|El Comandante - Garrick]]<br />
<br />
===Chuck Norris===<br />
In December 2005, Cervantes and Mazer made [[Chuck Norris]] avatars.<br />
<br />
[[Image:Pirate_chuck.png|100px|Cervantes - Pirate Chuck]]<br />
[[Image:Musashinorris.jpg|100px|Mazer - Musashi Norris]]<br />
<br />
===Penny Arcade Violence===<br />
In January 2006, Cervantes and Mazer made avatars involving violence in [[Penny Arcade]].<br />
<br />
[[Image:PA_Eye_Screwdriver.JPG|100px|Cervantes - Modified Nerf Weapons]]<br />
[[Image:bhg.jpg|100px|Mazer - BrownHairedGuy strangled]]<br />
<br />
===Calvin and Hobbes===<br />
In February 2006, Hikaru79, Mazer, and Cervantes made avatars of [[Calvin and Hobbes]]. Hikaru79 had a Calvin and Hobbes avatar for a long time, and had promised to partake in some of the previous avatar themes, though he never did. So, Cervantes and Mazer brought this month's avatar theme to Hikaru79.<br />
<br />

<br />
===Actors===<br />
March 2006's avatar theme was actors or characters from movies.<br />
<br />

[[Image:Haninja-solo.png|100px|Mazer - Ninja Han Solo]]<br />
[[Image:GandalfAvatar2.gif|100px|Gandalf]]<br />
<br />
<br />
===Hello Kitty===<br />
To go along with the [[April Fools]] joke of 2006, some users (without their consent) changed their avatars to a Hello Kitty theme.<br />
<br />
[[Image:hellodan.jpg|100px|Hacker Dan - Cyborg Kitty]]<br />

[[Image:Kittymazer.gif|100px|Mazer - Pirate Kitty]]<br />
[[Image:Kittyperson.jpg|100px|Person - Flowery Kitty]]<br />
<br />
===Bill Gates===<br />
Aside from the one day Hello Kitty event, April 2006's avatar theme was [[Bill Gates]], since he is so loved by everyone in the [[CompSci.ca]] community. This was [[Mazer]]'s and [[Cervantes]]' April Fool's joke extended for one month. As a further joke, they switched the ninja/pirate rule: Cervantes used a ninja avatar made by Mazer while Mazer used a pirate avatar made by Cervantes.<br />
<br />
[[Image:Ninja_bill.jpg|100px|Cervantes - Ninja Bill]]<br />
[[Image:Pirate_bill.jpg|100px|Mazer - Pirate Bill]]<br />
<br />
===[[Ruby]]===<br />
For May 2006, [[Mazer]] mouse-drew an avatar for himself and another for [[Cervantes]], both of which involved a ruby.<br />
