Some Important Stuff For Coders

I've been looking at a game recently; it's called No Man's Sky. It's currently still in development, but we can find some interesting stuff from YouTube. Brilliant use of science and math.

This is the beauty of the game's algorithm:

Interview: The Lore

The title of the last fictional book I have read. (Cuz I'm not reading any fictional stuff atm)

That would be Beauty and the Beast. This was a birthday gift from my friend Justine in memoriam of the Beauty and the Beast drama we did for school some 4 years ago. To be completely honest, I don't like reading books, but I do read manga.. So if that counts, I'll put it right here. One Piece.





















The title / topic of a non fictional book that I am currently reading

This will be Astrophysics: advanced physics readers by Christopher Bishop, and the eBook called Automotive Engineering by Daniel Hall. Why read those you say? First off, I need reference from the world of astrophysics for an idle game project that I'm on about, and the automotive engineering book gives me an extra quid to the bank; because I like cars and there are lots to learn about- plus it's free to read. I like the physics world, in fact I took some HL Physics course in high school and I'm liking it. Then why take games design you say? Because taking physics in university just obliterates your day. Just like back in high school.




What is the last live performance you attended? 






It was radical, to the point that I don't think I need to explain. 




The last film I saw at the cinema




Rurouni Kenshin. It wasn't that of a brilliant film, but for a live action derived from an anime; it was actually pretty good, and was an enjoyable experience. Though I missed the first hour of the movie due to heavy traffic, it didn't feel like I've missed a chunk of the pie; probably because it wasn't so important. To add salt to the pain, I don't have any idea what the anime was all about cuz obviously, I've never seen it.





Questions about newspaper

If twitter is considered a source of "news" then yeah, twitter. And facebook. And youtube - and lastly buzzfeed. Cuz yeah they've got lots of interesting stuff that's actually true - for the most part; you can't deny it. 




The Art Gallery

The last and probably the only art gallery I've been in is inside the Buckingham Palace in London. It was a collection of art that's been screened by professional people who "appreciate" arts.. It was nice, it was grand. The experience was fast, cuz I ain't understood any of the arts.. just a "oh, that's neat" and passed on through the hallway.








Hours spent on video games a week

You gotta be specific when you ask me this. On holidays? If so, then it was about 40 hours a week, as of steam's records. A lot of these time goes to Dota and Warframe. When it's not about holiday, then it's probably half as much time spent. To be honest though, I haven't been playing a lot since I arrived here in Ipswich; cuz there be lotsa stuff to do and parties to attend to that I just don't have the time to play games.

Anyone reading this and is a Dota player, feel free to contact me cuz I know most of you guys are on League. *I've started playing a bit of League too actually since everyone's on League here; much love to Ashe*






Hours spent on non-digital games

The only board game I've ever played was chess. And I was so bad to the point where I can only win against beginner level bots. I do however, play card games... like poker, and blackjack; and Yu Gi Oh. That was a long time ago though, since none of yall seem to still be playing it. I am interested in Magic: The Gathering, but it would be a dime too much for me to spent cuz it will take you time and money to get up the ladder on card games like that. But if you're up for a poker or a blackjack, or even Yu Gi Oh, do let me know.
