Lego Loco is a Lego-branded children's computer game for the Microsoft Windows platform. It is a simple open-ended construction game with an emphasis on Rail Transport.
The aim of the game is to construct a town in which Lego people can live.At the start of the game, the player has a 'Toy Box', from which they can select buildings from lists and place them directly into the space provided. The player can put down roads, railway lines, stations, crossings, buildings and scenery. To start the simulation, the player must close the Toy Box and the town will come to life (though the player can open it again to make changes, save the town, or open a new one). After a while Lego figures will begin moving into the houses provided (if any), and the player can, like with ordinary figures, pick them up and place them elsewhere. This can affect the figure's mood, depending on where it's placed.Using the train house (engine shed), the player can create trains to run on the railway lines. If a train has passenger carriages it will stop at any stations that have been placed alongside the track.
The player can control the train's speed and direction and add a mail carriage to the train, thus enabling it to carry postcards that have been created by the player. The train or trains can also go through tunnels that the player can place at the edge of the map, and some tunnels can be used to help exchange postcards with other players (provided a network has been set).

Is a 3D video game. The game was released in November 2006 by on 2, 360, and by on, a version was released in April 2007; the game stars the Toa Inika and the. However, the game features enemies from previous years.
Players must destroy enemies, solve puzzles in order to progress further, throughout the game, maximize their individual special powers and gain better and deadlier weapons. Players control an anonymous hero out to stop the evil Piraka, who have used the power of the Mask of Life to transform the wildlife of the island of Nui into aggressive, evil creatures; the hero is able to wear the masks of the Toa Inika in order to take on their appearances and powers. Players can switch between any collected masks at will, but if they run out of health the current mask is lost and a new one must be found before the character can become that Toa again.Collecting a mask restores health if it is one the character has. During gameplay, players collect pieces with different point values.
Collecting enough points fills a meter and activates 'Hero Mode', turning the character golden and giving invincibility as well as an offensive boost. After completing a level, points collected can be used to purchase items and upgrades from the in-game Lego Shop. Players are able to upgrade weapons throughout the game, starting with the Toa Mata's tools before upgrading to the Toa Metru's tools and the Toa Inika's tools.
Throughout each level are several Lego constructions, or construction-actions, that can be assembled. Two kinds that must be activated to proceed are normal constructions activated by Toa Hewkii and golden constructions that can be activated by anyone in Hero Mode, though doing so causes Hero Mode to end and more points must be collected before it can be entered again. Found are character-specific constructions that provide bonuses when activated.Scattered throughout the levels are several canisters that give bonuses when collected: collecting all of the silver canisters in a level unlocks a common enemy for viewing between levels, while each gold canister found unlocks a collectible item for viewing. Each regular level includes five silver canisters and four gold canisters, Piraka levels include four gold canisters apiece. Boss enemies-which include the seven Piraka, the six Rahkshi from the 2003 story, the large set characters Nidhiki, Roodaka, Sidorak and Axonn-are unlocked for viewing after they have been defeated.
There are 19 bosses in total. In addition to the levels and viewable collectibles, players can explore a bonus area called Piraka Playground, where the Piraka can be seen walking around after you defeat them in the main levels. Players can purchase additional items for Piraka Playground from the Shop and watch the Piraka use them. There are 3 bonus levels available for purchase, which are accessed through Piraka Playground.The Nintendo DS version has 6 bosses.
The 37 levels are divided among 7 regions: five levels for each of the six Piraka regions, seven levels in the final region: 'Makuta's Domain'. In the last of these seven levels, 'Final Showdown', the player must battle all six Piraka; when the player loses all their health, they do not lose a mask as you would in the console version, but some of the Lego pieces the player has collected. Instead of an in-game Lego Shop, collected Lego pieces are used in conjunction with runes in order to unlock one of 12 bonuses, which can affect gameplay in unique ways; these bonuses can be switched on or off once unlocked. Some bonuses can't be unlocked at the same time; this was the first LEGO game to be rated T for teen. Since all Lego video games were rated E on handheld consoles, this game was rated E10+ on consoles, PC and rated E on; the Game boy advance version is presented similar to a top-down shooter. This version's storyline is similar to the DS version.There are 25 levels. Each realm contains two regular levels, where the object is to progress to the end, a survival level, where the player must defeat all waves of enemies, a boss level, where the player must defeat the realm's.
The Toa in the game go through three stages; the first stage is the Toa Mata, the second being the Toa Nuva, the third being the Toa Inika. There is no in-game store, instead the game uses Lego pieces as a form of collecting points at the end of the level; the player can collect symbols that can unlock cheats, which can have either, a silly, or a non-apparent effect, such as a cluck gun or a. This is the only version. Began development in late 2005 and lasted twelve months, it was developed at by a crew of 20 to 25 people. The game's story is loosely based on the 2006 storyline, but features multiple characters from previous years, such as the and Vahki. Instead of rigidly following any year's storyline, as it could restrict creative freedom, the team decided to create an independent story with as many memorable Bionicle characters present as possible.This proved difficult.
The game engine was built upon the engine used in; the team faced several problems during development as they wished to create the highest quality possible. Doing business as The Lego Group, is a toy production company based in. It is best known for the manufacture of Lego-brand toys, consisting of interlocking plastic bricks; the Lego Group has built several amusement parks around the world, each known as, operates numerous retail stores. The company was founded on 10 August 1932 by; the word ' is derived from the Danish words 'leg godt', meaning 'play well'. In the first half of 2015, The Lego Group became the world's largest toy company by revenue, with sales amounting to US$2.1 billion, surpassing, which had US$1.9 billion in sales.
On 11 August 2017, Lego announced that Niels B. Christiansen would become the new CEO, effective 1 October of the same year; the history of Lego spans nearly 100 years, beginning with the creation of small wooden during the early 20th century.
Manufacturing of plastic Lego bricks began in Denmark in 1947, but since has grown to include factories throughout the world.In 1961, Lego was managed by until 1986 in. Below are historical images of the Lego logo throughout the company's existence. Since the expiration of the last standing Lego patent in 1989, a number of companies have produced interlocking bricks that are similar to Lego bricks; the toy company produced such bricks for a time. These competitor products are compatible with Lego bricks, are marketed at a lower cost than Lego sets.
One such competitor is, manufactured by Chinese company Coko Toy Co. In 2002, Lego Group's Swiss Interlego AG sued the company for copyright infringement. A trial court found many Coko bricks to be infringing.
On appeal, the upheld the trial court's ruling. In 2003, The Lego Group won a lawsuit in against the marketing group for its sale of Coko products, on the grounds that the company used product confusion for marketing purposes. In 2003, a large shipment of Lego-like products marketed under the name 'Enlighten' was seized by customs authorities.The packaging of the Enlighten products was similar to official Lego packaging. Their Chinese manufacturer failed to appear in court, thus Lego won a default action ordering the destruction of the shipment.
Lego Group footed the bill for the disposal of the 54,000 sets, citing a desire to avoid brand confusion and protect consumers from inferior products. In 2004, defeated a patent challenge from Lego in the,; the Lego Group has attempted to trademark the 'Lego ', the studded appearance of the Lego brick, hoping to stop production of. On 24 May 2002, the dismissed the case, asserting the design is functional and therefore ineligible for trademark protection; the Lego Group's appeal was dismissed by the on 14 July 2003. In October 2005, the Supreme Court ruled unanimously that 'Trademark law should not be used to perpetuate rights enjoyed under now-expired patents' and held that Mega Bloks can continue to manufacture their bricks.Because of fierce competition from products, the company has always responded by being proactive in their patenting and has over 600 United States–granted design patents to their name. Lego products are and shipped on a large scale. Was a major production facility for Lego, it was founded in in 1974. At the time of its announced closing in 2001, 30% of the world production of Lego was produced at the Swiss facility in; the Baar facility closed in 2004 with the remaining Swiss production facilities closing in 2005.
Today, finance department of Lego is located in Switzerland. Lego acknowledges the impact of its operations on the environment, in particular in areas such as climate change and energy use and waste.
All manufacturing sites are certified according to the environmental standard ISO 14001; the first Riffgrund 1 wind turbines off the coast of began producing electricity in February 2015, which will help reach its goal of being based 100% on renewable energy by 2020.The company claims to recycle 90% of its waste and that it had made its operations nearly one-third more energy efficient over the five-year period ending 31 December 2013. It is seeking alternatives to crude oil as the raw material for its bricks; this results in the establishment in June 2015 the Sustainable Materials Centre, expected to recruit more than 100 employees, as a significant step towards the 2030 ambition of finding and implementing sustainable alternatives to current materials. In 2011, Lego bowed to pressure from the environmental campaigning organisation agreeing to drop supplier, pledging to only use packaging material certified by the in future; the environmental group had accused Lego, and Disney of using packaging material sourced from trees cleared out of the Indonesian. Lego partnered with the oil company in the 1960s, using the company's logo in some of its construction sets.This partnership continued until the 1990s, was renewed again in 2011.
In July 2014, Greenpeace launched a global campaign to persuade Lego to cease producing toys carrying the oil company Shell's logo in response to Shell's plans to drill for oil in the Arctic. Shell's PR company valued the.
Is an video game based on the Lego toy brand. It was developed by and published in 2004 by THQ for the handheld system, it was the second game after.
However, that game was based on the first version of Knights' Kingdom, while the GBA game is based on the second version. Knights' Kingdom is a top-down perspective action-adventure game for the Game Boy Advance; the player controls one of four characters, with only one character being controlled at a time. The character run through a series of nine levels, attacking and solving tasks along the way; the player collects shields in levels as a form of health: upon being hit by an enemy or harmful obstacle, the player's health will deteriorate.
Upon dying, the player will fall back onto the ground; the game includes a tournament arena mode, where the characters compete against each other in three modes: and Sword Lightning Combat.In tournament mode, the player can play as one of five knights from the Knight's Kingdom action figure line:, a blue-armored knight with a hawk crest. Vladek, unlike the other knights, must be manually unlocked. Knights' Kingdom was developed by Razorback Developments and published by THQ. THQ announced the game in a press release on 29 April 2004, it was released on 4 October that year in and four days in.
Knights' Kingdom received mixed reviews from critics, with respective scores of 62% and 64% at review aggregators. Is an video game, the sequel to, making it the third game in the series, despite dropping the original Lego Island title and logo from the name.
Like Lego Island 2, the game was developed by, it was co-published by and, was released in 2002, for the 2 and, with a released for. Pepper Roni has been cast as the lead in an action movie being filmed on Lego Island and the Brickster has been released from jail after he claimed to have reformed and is now playing a part of the film. After performing a motorbike jump through a large poster as a publicity stunt, he is taken to the first scene where he performs a high-speed freeway car chase after the Brickster, cast as the main villain of the film.
Upon completion, Pepper is given free roam of Lego Island, allowing him to explore and complete side missions as he continues the film in other locations throughout the island.As the player makes more progress in missions, it becomes more and more apparent that the Brickster has plans of his own, he kidnaps the and reveals his tower that his Brickster-Bots have built and has made a that will disassemble the entire world. Pepper comes to the rescue while the host tries to shut down the supercomputer, he once again outwits and imprisons the Brickster while the supercomputer was instead reprogrammed to disassemble the tower, allowing the film to be completed and released on schedule. In the end Pepper has access to all areas of the island, allowing him to redo scenes of the movie and different tasks; the game gives a bit more canon. The majority of the original Lego Island and Lego Island 2 cast return. Pepper Roni remains the star of the game, while his adoptive parents Brickolini continue their career running a; the Infomaniac's role has been reduced from the player's guide to a simple. Others retain their roles, such as Ed Mail the postman and Laura Brick the police officers, Mrs.
Post the, others.The studio director is introduced, serving as a guide for the player through the stunts and giving him various objectives throughout the game itself. Unlike Lego Island and Lego Island 2, Pepper does not speak any dialogue in the game aside from and one-word exclamations, making him a silent; when doing stunt work, however, he can make comments. Like Lego Island 2, the player controls Pepper throughout the game, exploring the island in a style. Players are able to ride various vehicles throughout the city. There are various collectible items scattered throughout that will rebuild animals composed of large pieces, there are minigames in some parts of the city, such as helping one of the grocery store owners arrange and organize crates for storage; when filming stunts, the player is briefed by the director on how to perform the stunts within the scene, followed by a 'practice room' where Pepper can practice controlling the vehicle used in front of a.The player is taken to 'perform' the scene by playing the within it.
Upon its completion, players are taken to the screening room to see a 'take' of the scene, which includes some humorous and unintentional event taking place behind the scenes. Players are graded on their performance, based on how objectives were completed and how many bonus stunts were performed. From 2002 to 2003, an official series of Lego sets was released; the line featured replications of the characters to semi-canonical sets such as parks and various vehicles used in the game.
However, these did not financially impact the success of either the game or the Lego series itself, the theme was discontinued after the first year; the sets are now collectors' items. The PC version holds a 71 at and the PS2 version holds a 63. Gave the game a 70 and stated on a positive note that 'there's surprising depth and lots to do for a younger crowd.
It's perfect for an under-13 gamer' whereas IGN says there are much better titles for children. A computing platform or digital platform is the environment in which a piece of software is executed. It may be the hardware or the operating system a web browser and associated application programming interfaces, or other underlying software, as long as the program code is executed with it. Computing platforms have different abstraction levels, including a computer architecture, an OS, or runtime libraries. A computing platform is the stage. A platform can be seen both as a constraint on the software development process, in that different platforms provide different functionality and restrictions. For example, an OS may be a platform that abstracts the underlying differences in hardware and provides a generic command for saving files or accessing the network.
Platforms may include: Hardware alone, in the case of small embedded systems. Embedded systems can access hardware directly, without an OS. A browser in the case of web-based software; the browser itself runs on a hardware+OS platform, but this is not relevant to software running within the browser.An application, such as a or word processor, which hosts software written in an application-specific scripting language, such as an Excel macro. This can be extended to writing fully-fledged applications with the suite as a platform.
Software frameworks. Cloud computing. Extending the idea of a software framework, these allow application developers to build software out of components that are hosted not by the developer, but by the provider, with internet communication linking them together; the social networking sites and are considered development platforms. A virtual machine such as the. Applications are compiled into a format similar to machine code, known as, executed by the VM.
A virtualized version of a complete system, including virtualized hardware, OS, storage; these allow, for instance, a typical Windows program to run on. Some architectures have multiple layers, with each layer acting as a platform to the one above it.In general, a component only has to be adapted to the layer beneath it.
For instance, a program has to be written to use the Java virtual machine and associated libraries as a platform but does not have to be adapted to run for the Windows, or platforms.

Rail transport is a means of transferring of passengers and goods on wheeled vehicles running on rails known as tracks.
It is commonly referred to as train transport. In contrast to road transport, where vehicles run on a prepared flat surface, rail vehicles are directionally guided by the tracks on which they run. Tracks consist of steel rails, installed on ties and, on which the rolling stock fitted with metal wheels, moves. Other variations are possible, such as slab track, where the rails are fastened to a concrete foundation resting on a prepared subsurface. Rolling stock in a rail transport system encounters lower frictional resistance than road vehicles, so passenger and freight cars can be coupled into longer trains; the operation is carried out by a railway company, providing transport between train stations or freight customer facilities.
Power is provided by locomotives which either draw electric power from a railway electrification system or produce their own power by diesel engines.Most tracks are accompanied by a signalling system. Railways are a safe land transport system. Railway transport is capable of high levels of passenger and cargo utilization and energy efficiency, but is less flexible and more capital-intensive than road transport, when lower traffic levels are considered; the oldest known, man/animal-hauled railways date back to the 6th century BC in. Rail transport commenced in mid 16th century in in the form of horse-powered funiculars. Modern rail transport commenced with the British development of the steam locomotives in the early 19th century, thus the is the oldest in the world. Built by and his son Robert's company, the is the first steam locomotive to carry passengers on a public rail line, the in 1825.
George Stephenson built the first public inter-city railway line in the world to use only the steam locomotives all the time, the which opened in 1830.With steam engines, one could construct mainline railways, which were a key component of the. Railways reduced the costs of shipping, allowed for fewer lost goods, compared with water transport, which faced occasional sinking of ships; the change from canals to railways allowed for 'national markets' in which prices varied little from city to city. The spread of the railway network and the use of railway timetables, led to the standardisation of time in Britain based on Greenwich Mean Time. Prior to this, major towns and cities varied their local time relative to GMT; the invention and development of the railway in the was one of the most important technological inventions of the 19th century.
The world's first underground railway, the, opened in 1863. In the 1880s, electrified trains were introduced, leading to electrification of tramways and rapid transit systems. Starting during the 1940s, the non-electrified railways in most countries had their steam locomotives replaced by locomotives, with the process being complete by the 2000s.During the 1960s, electrified high-speed railway systems were introduced in and in some other countries. Many countries are in the process of replacing diesel locomotives with electric locomotives due to environmental concerns, a notable example being, which has electrified its network. Other forms of guided ground transport outside the traditional railway definitions, such as or, have been tried but have seen limited use. Following a decline after due to competition from cars, rail transport has had a revival in recent decades due to road congestion and rising fuel prices, as well as governments investing in rail as a means of reducing CO2 emissions in the context of concerns about global warming; the history of rail transport began in the 6th century BC in.

It can be divided up into several discrete periods defined by the principal means of track material and motive power used. Evidence indicates that there was 6 to 8.5 km long paved, which transported boats across the in Greece from around 600 BC.Wheeled vehicles pulled by men and animals ran in grooves in, which provided the track element, preventing the wagons from leaving the intended route.
The Diolkos was in use for over 650 years, until at least the 1st century AD; the paved trackways were later built in. In 1515, wrote a description of the, a at the in; the line used wooden rails and a haulage rope and was operated by human or power, through a. The line still exists and is operational, although in updated form and is the oldest operational railway. Wagonways using wooden rails, hauled by horses, started appearing in the 1550s to facilitate the transport of ore tubs to and from mines, soon became popular in; such an operation was illustrated in in 1556 by in his work. This line used 'Hund' carts with unflanged wheels running on wooden planks and a vertical pin on the truck fitting into the gap between the planks to keep it going the right way.The miners called the wagons Hunde from the noise. There are many references to their use in central Europe in the 16th century; such a transport system was used by German miners at Cal.
Is an video game developed by and published. It was followed. Activities in the game include riding skateboards, flying planes, riding; the player must deliver pizzas to complete the first stage of the game, additionally, he or she can engage in non-compulsory activities, such as at the and exploring the island. To complete a further stage of the game, the player must help find the missing pieces from the Informaniac's Constructopedia, which have been scattered around the island by the Brickster; the player must defeat the Dark Knight in a tournament and dive underwater to retrieve bricks on. Lego Island 2: The Brickster's Revenge received fair scores.
