5/18/2023 0 Comments Games in bluej![]() ![]() I have been working with these projects for over six years.īesides Java, I have worked with other code such as HTML, CSS, JavaScript, PHP, SQL, and C++. Finally on 2017, I have created a puzzle game, in which you’ll need to stack blocks of the same color to remove them. Also, I created a math game, which you must solve math problems to proceed. On 2016, I have created this blog, which is based on my programming projects. Instead, I focused on bug fixes, improvements, and new features to my older projects. On 2014, I have made a simple music-rhythm based game. On 2013, I have created more programs: “The Maze 2”, which is a sequel to my first Greenfoot game, and “RPG Game”, which is a simple role-playing game in which features a turn-based battle system. I have used it as my final project in my programming class at the high school. Another program I made in 2012 is “final project”, in where the player must pop 300 balloons before the computer does. My first game, “The Maze”, was created for my Senior Project back in 2012 at the high school. On January 2012, I started working on Greenfoot projects. The first programming language that I have ever learned is Java. On the fall of 2011, I started taking programming classes at the high school and started working with BlueJ. For this blog post, I will be sharing my experiences I had while working with BlueJ and Greenfoot, as well as with other programming languages. If you have not read these posts yet, please check it out here. On my previous two posts, I have shown you my app and game examples. If you have any questions about these updates, feel free to leave any of your comments. Also, please check out my Examples page if you have not yet read it. Most of my BlueJ applications are updated for exception handling, so my programs will not crash if the user enters a wrong input value. If you have not yet read my Java Language Overview and More About Java blog posts, please check those out, so you can have an idea of the Java programming language. The continue statement goes back to the beginning of the loop, as long as the loop condition is still true. The break statement ends the loop immediately. These statements are often used in the while, do-while, and for loops. ![]() With the exception handled, the program will not crash. The statements in the try block are executed first, but if these statements fail, then the statements in the catch block gets executed instead, as long as it corresponds to the exception. ![]() An example of a try-catch blockįor example, say that the program prompts the user to enter a number, but what if the user types a non-numeric input instead? Then you as a programmer will need to handle the exception in some way, or else your program will crash! This is why the try-catch blocks are used to handle the exception. This is accomplished by the try-catch blocks. That means that the error message can be displayed on the output instead of letting the program crash. If you have any questions about these upcoming updates, feel free to leave any of your comments.Īs I was working on my BlueJ applications, I just realized that the run-time errors can be handled. Fixed a bug with the sleep condition counter.Addressed an issue where the game may crash while the Black Magic effect wears off.Updates to the message dialog and accuracy stat reductions. ![]()

![]() ![]() ![]() If, like us, you need to set up Plex manually, the first thing you have to do is tell it where your media resides. ![]() It is definitely worth noting, though, that Plex is a very capable product even without subscribing to a Plex Pass. More practically, Plex Pass subscribers also get the ability to: copy movies/TV shows to their tablets for offline viewing move selected media to Google Drive, Dropbox, or Box, allowing it to be accessed when their home PC is turned off free access to the Plex Android, Roku, VIZIO, Xbox, and PlayStation apps automatic syncing/backup of your phone/tablet photos to your server and the aforementioned user accounts within your household. And, with so many movie trailers in your library, you can even activate an option to show a specified number of movie trailers (either those from your library or upcoming/new releases) before your chosen movie, which really puts the 'theatre' in home theatre. Surficially, you'll have – in addition to the movie posters, synopses, and other information – movie trailers and other extras accessible from your library, which can actually be a blessing when navigating large video libraries full of movies that friends have recommended over the years. What do 'Plex Pass' subscribers get access to? That is, you can use it for free, but if you want some of its handiest features, you're going to have to fork out for a subscription (either US$5 per month or US$40 per year) or a once-off, lifetime pass fee of US$150. Now, as we mentioned before, Plex is a 'freemium' service. This is particularly handy for quickly moving something from your tiny screen to your TV. Speaking of buttons (poor segue, we know), one of the handier features that Plex offers is a bookmarket that you can install in your browser (mobile or desktop), that will add the current video or audio that your enjoying from a streaming service like YouTube or Vimeo to a 'Watch Later' section in Plex. Obviously, sharing a whole season of a TV Show is entirely impractical, but this does serve as a handy way to send quick recommendations to friends that also have Plex, as every app or interface comes equipped with share buttons. You also have the option to share your media with friends and family, if you want them to share in the joy of what you're watching or listening to, without having to actually watch or listen to it with them. You can even set up multiple users within the house, so that you can keep track of what episode you're due to watch next, or restrict the content that they have access to, based on rating or library. You can even discover new content under the 'Discover' tab, which will recommend content based on your viewing habits, or just by going to a movie you love, and clicking on the director or other cast/crew member to see what else is available in your library with/by them.įurther to this, you can use the Plex app on your phone to control the Plex version running on the device hooked up to your TV – giving you a touch interface, rather than the often painful keyboard + mouse/TV remote interface so often associated with home theatre PCs.Īnd, because Plex's database is stored on a central server (your PC running the Plex Media Server), it means that you can stop a movie or TV show on your TV, and pick it up again in your pocket or in another room. This all feeds into an attractive interface that will make choosing your next flick a joyous breeze. Just like with Kodi, Plex scans your media and then retrieves rich metadata for it, so that your movies and TV shows are viewed using posters and recognisable art work, as well as being browse-able/searchable by year, watched/unwatched status, genre, actor/actress, director, and more. Having the media accessible isn't the whole picture, though: what really makes Plex special is its interface. ![]() 5/18/2023 0 Comments Cabelas castmaster reel parts![]() ![]() The line guide serves to ensure that the line is spooled on to the baitcaster spool evenly, by moving back and forth from one end of the spool to the other as you turn the handle. Because of this, you’ll need to re-adjust spool tension every time you change a lure. The spool tensioner serves to fine tune the spool rotation speed, so always start by adjusting the brakes first, and then move on to the spool tensioner.Īn important detail to keep in mind is that lures of different weight will perform differently with respect to the spool tension. Unlike the centrifugal and magnetic brakes, the spool tensioner slows down spool rotation more towards the end of the cast, when the lure is about to hit the water, and stops pulling line off the spool. The second way to adjust the speed of spool rotation is with the baitcaster spool tension knob, which is a round knob located on the same side as the reel handle. If you’re a beginner, and not sure how much magnetic brake to use, turn the dial about half way and test how that works out for you. If your baitcaster has magnetic brakes, these can usually be adjusted externally with a dial on the side of the frame (on the side of the reel which is opposite to the handle – see photo above). Many baitcasters have 6 centrifugal brakes, and setting them to maximum would mean sliding all 6 to their active position. If you’re a beginner, we suggest setting the centrifugal brakes to maximum. In order to adjust the centrifugal brakes, you have to remove the side panel of the reel, which is best done before you start fishing. ![]() Many baitcaster models nowadays have both of these braking systems, and both the centrifugal and magnetic brakes are essential slow down spool rotation during the initial part of your cast. There are two types of baitcaster brakes: centrifugal and magnetic. The braking system is an essential feature of baitcasters, which h elps to slow down spool rotation during the casting process in order to avoid backlash. Braking systemĪ question I often get is, “what does the brake do on a baitcaster?” Because of this it’s essential to learn how to use the star drag knob to adjust the drag pressure as needed. If the drag is set too tight, on the other hand, it’s possible that a strong fish can break the line. If your drag system is set too loose, this will allow fish to pull line off your reel quite easily, which is a problem if you’re trying to steer them away from cover. This configuration makes it very convenient and easy to adjust drag pressure when necessary, if you’re fighting a strong fish, for example. The drag control of baitcasters is usually located right next to the handle, in the form of a star shaped knob between the handle and reel body, which is why it’s usually referred to as a star drag. ![]() Make sure the reel foot is fastened tightly to the reel socket (also called reel seat) of the rod before you start fishing. Unlike spinning reels, baitcast reels sit on top of the rod, facing the angler during the cast. This helps to make it extremely ergonomic, and easy to handle for long periods of casting. In the case of low profile baitcasters, the foot is recessed, and as a result the reel body nestles right on top of the rod, without sticking out. Reel footĪ baitcasting reel is attached to the rod via its foot. You can start by spooling your baitcaster with line correctly, which helps to avoid backlash. We’ll cover the different ways to control spool rotation in more detail below. The problem with this is that the spool continues to rotate rapidly even when the lure slows down and is about to hit the water, which can cause backlash and birds nest creation. When you cast with a baitcasting reel, the weight of your lure causes the spool to rotate, which essentially ‘unwinds’ the line during the cast. Refer to our guide on how to spool a baitcasting reel in order to put line on the spool correctly.Īn essential feature that you need to master on baitcasting reels is controlling spool rotation during a cast. This mode of operation is in contrast to spinning reels, where a bail arm wraps line around a stationary spool that doesn’t rotate. This serves to spool the line on to the reel, and thus to retrieve your lure. One of the key characteristics of baitcasting reels is that the spool rotates when you turn the handle. The baitcaster spool is housed inside the reel frame, but is open in the middle. ![]() 5/18/2023 0 Comments Gog galaxy install![]() ![]() You can enter that now or later but that is the first major part done. That should leave you with the installer finishing and the GOG Client being started and asking you for your login information. Now we just start it like we would start a game (STILL FROM DESKTOP MODE) and do the installation just clicking “next” and “accept” without changing anything. For that go to your steam library and right click the now added “game” and open “Properties…” switching to the “COMPATIBILITY” tab where you select “Force the use of a specific Steam Play compatibility tool” and set a proton version (ideally most recent here Proton 7.0-1) Moving on we are going to force the installer to be run in a proton environment. Now the game should be added to your steam library as a non steam game. Enter the path to the folder where you put the installer (e.g.Click on “ADD A GAME” > Add a non-steam game.Start the desktop steam client by clicking on the steam icon on the desktop.Just copy it into your home directory somewhere.

GOG Galaxy 2.0 is an application that allows you to combine multiple libraries into one and connect with your friends across all gaming platforms, consoles included. ![]() ![]() Today reddit user Ayren_the_Battlemage wrote a great tutorial on how to install GOG Galaxy 2.0 on the Steam Deck. Through time as more people get the device and developers get more time with it I expect more/easier ways to install applications on the Steam Deck. We’re very early in the Steam Deck life cycle so not many applications are compatible at moment. ![]() 5/18/2023 0 Comments Hej stylus 3 dmg![]() ![]() Marques Brownlee holds the folded phone, then unfolds it to the Main Screen. ![]() He takes a phone call with the phone folded.

Just keep walking around so you can infect players as fast as possible. ![]() How to play: Since you have to infect all other living players, you almost have to stay alive until there are fewer players. Can use the fog (JT/AS).Īchievements: Win 75 games infect 1500 players. Special Interactions: Can see Professional bodies. Purpose: Helps discourage players from grouping up and/or prevents rounds dragging on between meetings. Infect all living, uneaten players to win. Head straight for a body whenever you see it just remember to pass it up if others are around. If you think someone might die somewhere (such as at lights), head there, but head there late so you aren't the one killed. You sort of want to stay near the center of the map at all times while still moving around a bit and still doing some tasks. It is better to pass up a corpse than to be seen eating one (a mistake I've learned the hard way). How to play: The two biggest keys to this role are staying alive and never letting anyone see you eat a body (unless it's the last one you need). Can eat a body being dragged by the Undertaker.Īchievements: Win 75 games eat 750 corpses. Purpose: Benefits the ducks by reducing the number of meetings and removing the knowledge of where certain players died. What it does: You can eat corpses and must eat a certain number to win (based on the total number of players, 2-5). Killing in front of a group is not suggested, or with lights down, etc. If you can, you want to make sure that someone sees you kill however, not making this obvious is the hardest part. If the other Dodo is already dead, just try to get voted out using normal Dodo strategies. Knowing that you killed someone is usually good enough reason for the lobby to vote you out. Sometimes this requires you to kite the other Dodo until at least 20 seconds into the round. Being seen killing the other dodo is rarely an issue, but you want to try and time it so that a regular kill button would be off cooldown (20+ seconds into the round). How to play: Finish your tasks ASAP, then beeline for the other dodo if they're alive. ![]() You can only kill the other Dodo.Īchievements: Win 75 games kill 150 times. You get a yellow arrow pointing to the other Dodo's location immediately after you finish your tasks if they're alive. You can kill the other Dodo yourself after you finish your tasks, and you only have 3 tasks. What it does: You win if you get voted out after the other Dueling Dodo is dead. Sometimes saying something in a meeting that makes players want to vote you out immediately is the best way to win. Avoid doing suspicious things in front of the Vigilante, Sheriff, or Ducks if you know who any of them are, as they may just shoot you right there. Knowing how your lobby reacts to certain potentially suspicious actions is key to picking the right ones to get voted out. Reporting a body and not talking can sometimes do the trick, as well as not reporting a body, or faking Cameras or Intercom. You can just hope that you get voted off as suspicion for a kill. How to play: Dodo is a tricky role to play because you have to make yourself suspicious enough that players want to vote you out, but if you make it obvious that you really want to be voted out they'll know you're the dodo. Special Interactions: You can see Professional bodies.Īchievements: Win 75 games win as the first player voted out 10 times. Purpose: To prevent the lobby from randomly voting out an excessive number of players in an attempt to vote out the Ducks. What it does: You win if you get voted out. PROX CHAT ONLY: If you honestly tell your role to someone between meetings, be sure to state in a meeting which player(s) know(s) your role and that they are the Assassin if you get assassinated. Role claiming is completely safe if the Assassin has shot twice or if you're sure they misfired. It is NOT a good idea to claim any Duck or Neutral role as the Vigilante or Sheriff may still be tricked into killing you even if you are lying, which you don't want regardless of your role. For the killing roles Vigilante and Sheriff, I suggest stating that you're one of the geese that can kill without even hinting at which one you are. Claiming a role you are not is what you should be doing most of the time. I am leaving the majority of the role claim fields unchanged, simply because the general idea of what you do and don't want to be claiming hasn't changed (and sometimes you know it's safe to role claim). Assassin and Role ClaimingWith the Assassin in the game, claiming your can be dangerous at any time if you know there is or could be an Assassin. ![]() 5/17/2023 0 Comments A letter chain![]() ![]() The law will also ensure the United States maintains and advances its scientific and technological edge.

5/17/2023 0 Comments Give walking papers to crossword![]() ![]() You must be born into the family of the Walkers. It requires a direct dispensation from Heaven to become a walker. No wealth can buy the requisite leisure, freedom, and independence which are the capital in this profession. We have felt that we almost alone hereabouts practiced this noble art though, to tell the truth, at least if their own assertions are to be received, most of my townsmen would fain walk sometimes, as I do, but they cannot. ![]() He is a sort of fourth estate, outside of Church and State and People. The Chivalric and heroic spirit which once belonged to the Rider seems now to reside in, or perchance to have subsided into, the Walker, - not the Knight, but Walker Errant. To come down to my own experience, my companion and I, for I sometimes have a companion, take pleasure in fancying ourselves knights of a new, or rather an old, order, - not Equestrians or Chevaliers, not Ritters or Riders, but Walkers, a still more ancient and honorable class, I trust. If you are ready to leave father and mother, and brother and sister, and wife and child and friends, and never see them again, - if you have paid your debts, and made your will, and settled all your affairs, and are a free man, then you are ready for a walk. We should go forth on the shortest walk, perchance, in the spirit of undying adventure, never to return, - prepared to send back our embalmed hearts only as relics to our desolate kingdoms. Half the walk is but retracing our steps. ![]() Our expeditions are but tours, and come round again at evening to the old hearthside from which we set out. It is true, we are but faint-hearted crusaders, even the walkers, nowadays, who undertake no persevering, never-ending enterprises. For every walk is a sort of crusade, preached by some Peter the Hermit in us, to go forth and reconquer this Holy Land from the hands of the Infidels. But I prefer the first, which, indeed, is the most probable derivation. He who sits still in a house all the time may be the greatest vagrant of all but the saunterer, in the good sense, is no more vagrant than the meandering river, which is all the while sedulously seeking the shortest course to the sea. For this is the secret of successful sauntering. Some, however, would derive the word from sans terre without land or a home, which, therefore, in the good sense, will mean, having no particular home, but equally at home everywhere. They who never go to the Holy Land in their walks, as they pretend, are indeed mere idlers and vagabonds but they who do go there are saunterers in the good sense, such as I mean. I have met with but one or two persons in the course of my life who understood the art of Walking, that is, of taking walks, - who had a genius, so to speak, for sauntering: which word is beautifully derived “from idle people who roved about the country, in the Middle Ages, and asked charity, under pretense of going à la Sainte Terre,” to the Holy Land, till the children exclaimed, “There goes a Sainte-Terrer,” a Saunterer, a Holy-Lander. I wish to make an extreme statement, if so I may make an emphatic one, for there are enough champions of civilization: the minister and the school committee and every one of you will take care of that. I wish to speak a word for Nature, for absolute freedom and wildness, as contrasted with a freedom and culture merely civil, - to regard man as an inhabitant, or a part and parcel of Nature, rather than a member of society. ![]() |
