Boom Blox is a puzzle video game for the Wii console, mobile devices and N-Gage 2.0 developed by EA Los Angeles in conjunction with film director Steven Spielberg. The game was released on May 6, 2008, in North America and on May 9, 2008, in Europe. The N-Gage version of the game was released on December 3, 2008.
The game presents a series of physics-based puzzles, the objective being either to keep structures made of blocks from being knocked down or to knock them over by various means, using the Wii Remote to throw, shoot, and grab at the blocks. Boom Blox features a realistic physics system; the angle at which a projectile is launched and how fast it is thrown as well as the mass of the projectile and the type of blocks it comes into contact with influence the results of an action.
The game has over 300 single-player levels as well as over 100 cooperative and competitive multiplayer levels. Additionally, there is a mode that allows players to create their own levels and share them with people added to their Friend Code list via WiiConnect24.
Blocks are a nonstandard extension added by Apple Inc. to their implementations of the C, C++, and Objective-C programming languages that uses a lambda expression-like syntax to create closures within these languages. Blocks are supported for programs developed for Mac OS X 10.6+ and iOS 4.0+, although third-party runtimes allow use on Mac OS X 10.5 and iOS 2.2+.
Apple designed blocks with the explicit goal of making it easier to write programs for the Grand Central Dispatch threading architecture, although it is independent of that architecture and can be used in much the same way as closures in other languages. Apple has implemented blocks both in their own branch of the GNU Compiler Collection and in the Clang LLVM compiler front end. Language runtime library support for blocks is also available as part of the LLVM project. The Khronos group uses blocks syntax to enqueue kernels from within kernels as of version 2.0 of OpenCL.
Like function definitions, blocks can take arguments, and declare their own variables internally. Unlike ordinary C function definitions, their value can capture state from their surrounding context. A block definition produces an opaque value which contains both a reference to the code within the block and a snapshot of the current state of local stack variables at the time of its definition. The block may be later invoked in the same manner as a function pointer. The block may be assigned to variables, passed to functions, and otherwise treated like a normal function pointer, although the application programmer (or the API) must mark the block with a special operator (Block_copy) if it's to be used outside the scope in which it was defined.

Plot: Towards the end of a hot Botswana summer, members of a traditional dance group, "Tsosolosa!" are grappling with emotionally-charged dilemmas. Six dancers - three young women and three young men - come from very different backgrounds but are drawn together by their love for traditional Setswana dance. For some their love for the dance will be tested. For all, the test is in their relationships with family, friends, lovers, and fellow dancers. This is a story of the lives and loves, and hopes and dreams, of young Batswana in the context of the changing cultural norms and values of modern times. Each of the dancers are shaped and challenged by the forces upon them: love, power, money, lust, and authority. They must choose their destiny by making difficult choices and search for what they truly believe in. In the interlinking story strands we are introduced to the characters who affect the lives of the dancers. These are parents, relatives, employers, work colleagues, friends, and lovers. Throughout these layers of storylines, the dancers are united by a common goal. They must work hard to perform well in an upcoming competition. The pressure increases when news arrives that a Hollywood talent scout will be present at the competition to hunt for a group that will be featured in the first Hollywood movie ever filmed in Botswana. The series is a co-production between the Camel Thorn Media for Development Trust, a new not-for-profit organization that specializes in producing programming about development, and Red Stone (Pty) Ltd, one of Botswana's leading production companies. The co-producers have identified a well-known local dance group, Mogwana, who have willingly contributed to the research and development of the storylines. "Re Bina Mmogo" is as much an exploration of the relationships in our daily lives, as it is a celebration of traditional dance. This is fun and intelligent entertainment that challenges norms and values, and has authentic educational content appealing to a broad audience.
