Going through some old books, I found an excerpt from James Naismith's book about basketball. He's the guy who invented it, and the process of his game design is very interesting. I found an even longer excerpt online: A collection of several excerpts is here: http://www.barnard.edu/amstud/resources.htm Scroll down to the part where it says "Basketball at the Turn-of-the-Century". The important one is Chapter III: http://www.barnard.edu/amstud/resources/basketball/origin.htm Although Chapter II is also really worth reading because it talks about the earlier designs that failed and why. As long as we're trying to resurrect this list, I thought I'd toss this in the bucket, so to speak. Kent |
