Articulate! Articulate! Articulate! is a board game from Drumond Park, for 4 to 20+ players aged 12 and up. Articulate! players describe words from different categories to their team as quickly as possible. The teams move round the board based on the number of words correctly guessed, and occasional spinner bonuses. Each round is 30 seconds long. Word topics include Object, Nature, Random, Person, Action and World. The object of the game is to get to the end before the other team. The game contains a circular board, 500 cards with 3,000 words, a spinner, timer, 4 playing pieces and instructions.
Object resurrection may be frequently used and where the construction/destruction of it is time-consuming. An example could be an array of random numbers, where a large number of them is created and destroyed in a short time, but where actually only a small number is in use at the same time. With object resurrection, a pooling technique would reduce the unnecessary overhead of creation and destruction. Here, a pool manager would get onto its object stack information in the form of a reference to the object, if it is currently to be destructed. The pool manager will keep the object for reuse
