![]() If the majority votes for the new law, the devs will implement it, unless they find the idea unbalancing enough to veto it. You write up your idea on a petition, go round and gather signatures, and if you get enough of those, the petition will be voted upon. In A Tale in the Desert this is not the case. ![]() You can propose it on your blog or on the official forums, but chances are that no devs are listening. Now if you have an idea like that in another MMORPG, there isn't much you can do about it. I was thinking that if players would get the salvage skill earlier in the game, preferably as part of the citizenship task list, they would be more inclined to clean up after themselves, and not leave Egypt littered with abandoned wood planes and flax combs. That way I got my 21 signatures on my Leadership initiation test petition done, and as I also got 21 people declaring my sculpture for the Art initiation as interesting, I finished both tests and made it to level 5. The advantage is higher run speed, and meeting more people. The disadvantage of running on roads is that your chance to find wild sheep or papyrus are less, because somebody else probably already saw them if they were close to a road. One of the features of A Tale in the Desert that appears stunningly obvious once you experience it, but is fairly unique, is that you run faster on roads than in the wilderness. Most of the tour I made by running on roads. But in Sinai I met somebody who had gotten onions twice and no cabbage, so we traded, and now I'm only missing carrots. From the 5 random vegetable seeds I got 1 leek, 2 cabbage, and 2 garlic. So now I have 5 regions out of 7 done, but the two missing regions are those bordering my home region to the north and south, Aicyone and Maia, so the last two Universities of Worship will be less long to reach. At that point it was already getting late, and I decided to use my accumulated travel time to teleport home, across the Red Sea, instead of running back. Finally I ran even further east, to Sinai. From there I ran back towards the Nile delta region of Taygete, which is heavily populated. There are very few people living in that region, it is more a place for hermits to settle, and the geography looks as if the devs ran out of time and patience when modeling it. Then I headed north to the north-western region of Merope, which wasn't all that easy, because there is a mountain range and river in the way. There is a hardcore guild settled there, so I not only could get seeds, but also some technologies they had already researched ahead of the other regions. From there I ran to the western region of Celaeno. I started out in my home region Sterope, which is in the middle of Egypt. With less regions, one needs to run more between universities, and has less chances to get all the seeds. ![]() In previous tellings Egypt had more regions, thus more Universities, and getting those seeds was easier. There are 5 different vegetable seeds you can get that way: cabbage, carrots, garlic, leek, and onions, with onions being the most critical, as they are needed to feed sheep. ![]() The plan was to visit the various Universities of Worship, of which there is one in each of the 7 regions of Egypt, and get vegetable seeds from there. On day 4 of my desert adventures I spent a whole 5-hour playing session running through Egypt. The virtual Egypt of A Tale in the Desert is huge.

Upload the Roboto font family as a single zip file from Enfold > Import/Export > Custom font manager the font upload page will refresh and display the font family with its variants. Roboto.zip (Compressed folder containing font variants).Let’s take Roboto font family as an example and below is the file structure in which it needs to be uploaded. ![]() The font variants will be auto-assigned by the theme stylesheet. ![]() In this method, a folder containing font variants is compressed and uploaded. In the second method, we can manually assign the font variants to a specific element of the theme. In the first method, the variants will be auto-selected by the theme stylesheet. There are a couple of ways to upload and manage font variants. NOTE: Do not add the font folders in one main folder as this will create sub-directories and it is not a supported format. Give the compressed file any name of your choice, for example, project-fonts.zip The zip file is now ready to upload. To upload the above fonts at once, select all the font folders (my-font-1, my-font-2, my-font-3) and compress it. In the below example we have placed each font and its variants in separate folders: Uploading multiple fonts: Each font and its variants should be in its own folder. Note: To proceed further you should have the font files in the supported format as mentioned above.Ĭompress each font as a separate zip file: Right click on my-font-1.ttf and select compress or zip option to generate a compressed file my-font-1.zip repeat this step for the rest of the fonts till you have.
| translator.rs | -> | OUTPUT | | | mem.rs | /- | cli.yaml | | dictionary.rs | | INPUT | | cpu.rs | | mcs.rs | | | dump.rs | One hazard of this approach is that if the latches are left in a state other than "all on" or "all off" for an extended period of time, it could damage the LCD.Īn alternative approach would be to use two sets of three latches that have output enables fed by the CPU, and have three inverting latches that also have output enables connected with their outputs tied to their inputs, and have the output enables and latching control for the second latches generated by an oscillator or cycle-counter circuit which runs independently of the CPU.+-+ +-+ +-+ +-+ A display with three digits and two decimal points could be wired to three 8-bit latches, provided that code flips the states of the wires as appropriate. The common wire needs to be driven alternately high and low, with the other wires being driven in phase with the common wires when they should be "off", and out of phase when they should be "on". If you are driving a non-multiplexed LCD display, there will typically be one wire per segment, plus one common wire. This would need CONSTANT and prioritized attention by the software, though: If your timing slips, your AC waveforms effectively get a DC bias and your LC display suffers.Ī possible compromise would be using an IO port followed by clocked XOR gates (and symmetric drivers, again.).Īlternatively, either a dedicated LC driver chip, or a display with a builtin driver chip was used: In which case, these will have behaved just like any other parallel, Data+Address+Chipselect I/O device. ![]() Multiplexed displays tend to need more than two voltage levels per drive pin, and a more involved drive waveform - they are not like multiplexed LED displays that can take advantage of the rectifier behaviour of individual display elements.Īll this COULD be generated in software, if coupled with a symmetric driver circuit and/or primitive DAC (resistor networks) driven by an I/O port device (or just an address decoder + latch) or even directly off the bus. ![]() LCD displays at their core need an AC drive waveform, otherwise the LC material will be quickly damaged. ![]() This 8 bit value, if packed BCD coded, can feed two 7-segment displays to show two digits.Ī passive, non multiplexed 7 segment LCD display doesn't need a real "protocol" - but neither can you just apply voltage to segments from some I/O pin. Now the hardware designer would have to use a 8-bit latch whose enable input would be triggered by certain value present in the lower part of the address bus (or most frequenctly, triggered by having a certain value in some bit of the lower address bus), and the WR signal and the OUT signal from the 8212. The 8080 chipset included a machine cycle decoder, the 8212 controller, that was connected to the 8080 as this: Instead of that, the 8080 used the SYNC pin to signal the beginning of a machine cycle, whose type would be encoded in the data bus during the time SYNC is active. The 8080 didn't have special pins, like the Z80A, to inform the system about the nature of the machine cycle. This would have been work like this:įirst, the current machine cycle must be decoded in order to know whether it is a I/O operation, memory operation, stack, instruction fetch, etc. So, the protocol would have been 8-bit parallel (the 8080 data bus) with strobe (the signal generated by the address and bus cycle decoding, that is used to open the latch). The output of that latch could be feed a BCD-to-7 segment converter/driver, with in turn would be connected to the display. That way, a number could be easily output from the data bus (8-bit parallel) to a latch "listening" in a I/O port. You don't mention what kind of LCD display your college used, so this is only an assumption (and your question may be put on hold precisely due to the lack of information about this) but for the most basic LCD display, a 7-segment display, the software may have used BCD for storing numbers. It had no in-built host peripherals that would support protocols like RS232 or SPI. ![]() The 8080 is not a microcontroller, but a microprocessor, so it had no special provision for LCD displays, as modern microcontroller may have, except maybe for the ability to use packed BCD numbers. ![]() I'm also still used to my TacMap and pressing spacebar to jump to my last notification but otherwise I'm liking it. The announcer constantly screaming "WE'VE LOST A." makes me think I just lost a unit somewhere, until it turns out he says we've lost a sector. I am very excited to see how things develop and how the game turns out! Long live CoH! The potential is there for CoH3 to grow into the best iteration of this series yet. ![]() In conclusion the pre-alpha is incredibly promising. This pre-alpha released is focused purely on the singleplayer experience so I will hold off on further balance and gaming pacing or flow judgements until the dedicated PvP, CoopvAI vertical slice is available. The pacing seems a little off (light vehicles hitting within 2-3minutes rather than 5-6 minutes) and with the removal of the lock on snare (imo the best feature in the game) leaves infantry feeling incredibly vulnerable to well micro'd vehicle play. However, I feel some of the weight and intensity is missing. Its vibrant, colourful and visually impressive. I feel the game is lacking a bit of grit. This can only be a good thing!įinally, my personal take. This means those who have been closest to the core mechanics of the game and keep the community driving forward for so many years have had their chance to share their experiences with the dev team. Its also extremely promising to hear they have been involving senior and experienced members of the community (AE and others). ![]() Present an early alpha and welcome feedback from your players. This is a great example of how to announce a game. The other aspect is the Devs really seem to care. The focus on close, intense and decisive engagements in addition to how the game rewards unit preservation has absolutely been what makes Company of Heroes stand out from other RTS games and kept such a strong community still playing today. These elements are all in place and look to play a big role again. The squad system, the cover system, unit veterancy, the suppression and retreating systems, the weighted and powerful armour engagements. The fundamentals that make Company Of Heroes one of the most engaging, tightly tuned and unique experiences are all still here. These are very exciting times! There are two things that stand out to me. I have played both CoH1 and CoH2 for over 1000hours each and am a huge fan of the series. ![]() Intel Core i7-3960X Extreme Edition (3.Gigabyte GeForce GTX 650 Ti Boost (2048MB).We also tested using three visual quality presets: Very High, High and Medium and an additional test for SSAA. We tested Metro: Last Light at three common desktop display resolutions: 1680x1050, 1920x12x1600 using DX11. In total we went with nine major tests covering three resolutions and three quality settings. The benchmark tool allowed us to create our own graphics quality presets.

The Metro series is set some years after nuclear war has ruined the surface of the Earth and put an end to civilization as we know it. Metro: Last Light’s benchmark tool resulted with an average of 52fps at 720p (max settings without SSAA and Advanced PhysX) in both SLI and Single-GPU modes. Here's a small excerpt to get you started: There's also a lot more destruction and interactivity into the environments.Īccording to 4A, the custom nature of the engine allowed them to focus on improving and creating new sections instead of trying to repurpose existing ones that were made by other developers for different mechanics.įurthermore, the developer has continued to cater to loyal PC gamers who have considerably more power than console gamers at its disposal by including a richer gaming experience visually as well as a benchmark tool for measuring your system's performance.Īs usual our focus on this article will be graphics card and CPU performance, but if you are wondering about gameplay, check out the full review of the game. Three years of extra work put into the engine and you can take for granted that visual effects such as lighting, which was a huge focus for 4A Games in the original Metro have been vastly improved. Both Shiskovtsov and Maksimchuk had worked on the development of the X-Ray engine that powers GSC's first person shooter.įollows its predecessor roots by using a heavily customized version of the 4A Engine. It's no coincidence that Metro 2033's visuals bared resemblance to those of S.T.A.L.K.E.R, though we would argue that they were better. 4A Games was founded by Oles Shiskovtsov and Aleksandr Maksimchuk, former programmers at GSC Game World, who left about a year before the release of S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Shadow of Chernobyl. This game is based on the famous novel Metro which is written by Dmitry Glukhovsky. The Metro 2033 Redux is a survival horror first person shooter game which is developed by 4A Games and it is published by DeepSilver. When the Metro 2033 was released in 2010 it contributed to raise the PC graphics bar making good use of the latest DirectX 11 rendering technologies such as depth of field and tessellation along with high resolution textures.īefore that little was known about the developers of Metro.

![]() It is obvious why VLC is the most popular open source media player in the industry not to mention it has been downloaded millions of times across all major OS platforms. However, streaming in Realplayer is slow and it is studded with loads of ads. What makes it better than VLC is its ability to be integrated with mobile media devices and social networking websites. Realplayer is another stiff competition to VLC. You can, however, choose to uncheck the installation of this toolbar should you find it unnecessary. However, it has fewer features compared to the latter and installs a Google toolbar to your browser by default during installation. Like VLC, it is integrated with the major mediacodecs. GOM Player is a popular alternative media player to VLC. With this in mind, think twice about using VLC while running another resource-hog program especially with a simple laptop or desktop setup. Audio files use up slightly more resources compared to Windows media player while video files consumes a more significant amount. Playing a single MP3 file uses more than 40,000 kb while an ordinary movie uses twice as much. One of its major uses is its streaming capability which allows it to stream media from internet channels.Īside from the dull GUI, what I do not particularly enjoy about VLC is the memory it consumes. You do not have to install a codec pack because the file association of VLC covers most of the popular media types.Īs a freeware, it has all the necessary and advanced features of the major commercial media players. Unlike most other media players, VLC plays virtually all types of audio and video media files regardless of file size. But you can download skins from the VLC website free of charge if you feel the look of the GUI to be too bland.Īs a media player, VLC has all necessary buttons, features, and sections such as a media browser, media player buttons, volume and speed controls, equalizers and presets, and visualizations to name a few.Īside from being user friendly and lightweight, VLC has more features that make it so popular with computer users. It is actually no different than the usual Linux-based windows programs because of its simplicity. The program does not require any prerequisites and is does not install any associated programs or adware which is pretty common in many freeware applications. You can also choose which directory you would like to install the program in. It also takes less than a minute to install the program.ĭuring the installation process, you will be presented with installation options such as the file type associations, the installation of an ActiveX plugin, the installation of a Mozilla plugin, among others. At less than 20mb, it takes little time to download it from your favorite software shareware site. Many users of this media player love the fact that they do not have to download codecs in order to run any media. ![]() What makes VLC so popular is its ability to run virtually all video formats.

Design of PID controllers or low-pass filters can be done both via Z transforms as well as classical analysis, with one of several approximations used to transform derivatives/integrals from continuous-time to discrete-time. This is wrong - the z-transform does not change the form of the distribution, it only adjusts the mean and the standard deviation. Z transforms help for some analysis: the theory of discrete-time-sampled systems is best modeled through Z transforms. ![]() In some published papers you can read that the z-scores are normally distributed. The standardization of both data sets results in comparable distributions since both z-transformed distributions have a mean of 0.0 and a standard deviation of 1.0 (bottom row). In case the system is defined with a difference equation we could first calculate the impulse response and then calculating the Z-transform. Assume we have two normal distributions, one with mean of 10.0 and a standard deviation of 30.0 (top left), the other with a mean of 200 and a standard deviation of 20.0 (top right). The following example demonstrates the effect of the standardization of the data. If the original distribution is a normal one, the z-transformed data belong to a standard normal distribution (μ=0, s=1). The mean of a z-transformed sample is always zero. Let’s be surprised, humbled, and amazed at what God can do through us when we surrender to him the gifts he gave us. z-Scores become comparable by measuring the observations in multiples of the standard deviation of that sample. I pray my fellow creative Gen Zers would allow the gospel of Jesus Christ to enter their lives and transform their creations into something meaningful and worshipfulsomething of eternal value in his eternal kingdom. The z-transform is also called standardization or auto-scaling. An often used aid is the z-transform which converts the values of a sample into z-scores: to compare measured values of a sample with respect to their (relative) position in the distribution. Overall, the Z-transform is a powerful and versatile tool for understanding and analyzing discrete-time systems, and it has numerous applications in engineering and other fields.Sometimes one has the problem to make two samples comparable, i.e. This makes it possible to understand the frequency response of discrete-time systems and to design filters and other types of signal processing systems. Recall (4.1) that the mathematical representation of a discrete-time. Systematic method for finding the impulse response. One of the key benefits of the Z-transform is that it allows us to analyze the behavior of discrete-time systems in the frequency domain, using techniques that are similar to those used to analyze continuous-time systems in the frequency domain using the Laplace transform. The unilateral z transform is most commonly used. Convolution of discrete-time signals simply becomes multiplication of their z-transforms. It can also be used to find the transfer function of a discrete-time system, which describes how the system responds to different input signals. The Z-transform has a number of useful properties, including linearity, time shifting, and frequency shifting. It is a powerful tool for understanding the behavior of such systems, and it has numerous applications in engineering, including in the fields of electrical engineering, control engineering, and digital signal processing. The Z-transform is a mathematical tool used to analyze discrete-time signals and systems. Where z is a complex variable and the sum is taken over all possible values of n. |
