1. Games on boards with 8 or 10 rows. This is thought to refer to ashtapada and dasapada respectively; however, later Sinhala commentaries refer to these boards also being used with games involving dice. 2
2. The same games played on imaginary boards. Akasam astapadam was an ashtapada variant played with no board, literally "astapadam played in the sky". A correspondent in the American Chess Bulletin identifies this as likely the earliest literary mention of a blindfold chess variant. 5]
3. Games of marking diagrams on the floor such that the player can only walk on certain places. This is described in the Vinaya Pitaka as
"having drawn a circle with various lines on the ground, there they play avoiding the line to be avoided". Rhys Davids suggests that it may refer to parihara-patham, a form of hop-scotch.
4. Games where players either remove pieces from a pile or add pieces to it, with the loser being the one who causes the heap to shake (similar to the modern game pick-up sticks).
5. Games of throwing dice.
6. Dipping the hand with the fingers stretched out in lac, or red dye, or flour-water, and striking the wet hand on the ground or on a wall, calling out "What shall it be?" and showing the form required— elephants, horses, etc..
7. Ball games.
8. Blowing through a pat-kulal, a toy pipe made of leaves.
9. Ploughing with a toy plough.
10. Playing with toy windmills made from palm leaves.
11. Playing with toy measures made from palm leaves.
12. Playing with toy carts.
13. Playing with toy bows.
14. Guessing at letters traced with the finger in the air or on a friend's back. (letters in the Brahmi script)
15. Guessing a friend's thoughts.
16. Imitating deformities.

Grand Theft Auto V, and the Pursuit of the Perfect Playlist
Worshipping both the car and the radio, GTA V echoes the messy realities of modern-day infrastructure in the US.
The car and the radio are inextricably linked in GTA V: it's impossible to discuss one without the other.
In our first article on Radios, Boen Wang explores how GTA V's music stations mesh with a fantastical vision of driving and US infrastructure.

Who is making the best shortform videos (tiktok, ig, youtube shorts) showing them working on creative digital stuff?
Could be videogame dev, animation, 3d modelling, music: anything somewhat technical happening on a screen, presented in a fun, approachable way. Please send me links, thank-you! <3
