	Yu-Chi Lai, Diana Zhou, Lia-Kai Wang: Poker: Texas Hold'em, In this project, we are implementing an online poker game. In this design document, we will present our method and protocol so as to ensure the security of the game. The poker game we are implementing is the Texas Hold'em. The appendix lists the rules about how to play it. The rest of this document is the detailed description of the design for this project. Web Page

	Yu-Chi Lai, Kathleen, Eelke, Josh, Day of the Tentacle We present the sequel to the best seller "The Day of the Tentacle". We rejoin Purple Tentacle in his quest for world domination. In our absence he has used a time machine to create an army of clones from himself. He has his "diminuator" that he will to destory anyone that gets in his way. Green Tentacle along with Bernard, Laverne and Hoagie must put an end to Purple Tentacle's evil empire and save the world! Web Page and Animation
