![]() If there were 5 units in each occupied 10x10 block, then there would be 4n sight checks. You don't check every unit against every tile in the block, you check every unit against every other unit in the block. Also, your 100n estimation for the blocks approach is off. ![]() The second rectangular blocks part was about eliding unnecessary sight checks. When deleting a unit, swap the unit in the vector with the last unit, then remove from the back. I've realized that the fastest solution is very simple. The data structure is not for speeding up individual 1-on-1 sight checks. By O(1) iteration I meant O(1) from one unit to the next. The data structure was about storing units in such a way that there is fast deletion and iteration. Just make it a periodic check when iterating through the table that if any of the pointers refer to dead units, to delete them from the vector before continuing. Yes, removing from the middle of a vector isn't optimal, but that doesn't matter because this is a one-time event any time a unit dies/leaves. I think a more immediate optimization is clearing out dead units from the vector. Meaning if you're checking, say, a 10x10 rectangle around every unit, that this only becomes more optimal at 100 units on the map or more. Depending on the size of P, this might not scale as well as you'd hope it only becomes more efficient once you have more units than P. Limiting it to a rectangle would trade-off O(n^2) for O(Pn) where P is the number of tiles in this rectangle. The problem is having to, per unit, check against literally every other unit on the map, is slow in principle. The problem isn't actually evaluating the line of sight. The point is that it's checking every unit against every other unit to work out whether or not they can see each other.

The game adds more ‘content’ by adding two extra difficultly levels, that not only make the enemies harder but actually alter the stages themselves by changing the layout or adding extra hazards and obstacles. These stages often only take you about three to five minutes to finish, which means the overall experience is rather short, but qualitative nonetheless. The campaign mode consists out of seven different areas, each having five to seven different stages. Other than a few bosses, collecting orbs and kanji, all of the above is pretty much all there is to the game, and truth be told it’s more than enough. Luckily the game has a lot of built-in checkpoints, allowing you, when you die, to start from the last checkpoint. Seeing your character can only take one hit, it means you’ll die a lot and have to try other tactics or simply respond quicker. Enemies often prove to be a bit trickier, especially the ranged ones, as these can pose a serious threat when you’re still trying to tackle another obstacle. On your way to the finish you’ll encounter enemies and traps, the latter often easily avoidable if you can time your jumps, or approach certain obstacles at the right angle. Stages in both the campaign and challenge modes are pretty much a race from start to finish (even though it only matters for your score whether if you finish the stage quickly). You’ll be playing through short levels, where you’ll have to navigate quickly and test your reflexes, as speed is a key factor that is rewarded by points at the end of each level. Shadow Blade: Reload is an action-platformer where traps and obstacles often pose a bigger threat than the enemies that roam the premises. ![]() Sound effects are generic but a game such as this one doesn’t really need anything that special to sound authentic and good. That being said, the soundtrack does the trick, especially when it comes to combining rather modern music with more traditional oriental tunes, making sure the action on screen gets represented as well as the entire ‘ninja’ theme. The music of the game is quite decent but limited, as many tracks are constantly being repeated. While the environments are rather generic for each of the areas you’ll find yourself in, things have an appealing look. Everything has a futuristic vibe that goes well with the otherwise ‘old school’ looking ninja warrior you’re playing with. Even though there aren’t that many character models, you’ll be treated to enemies that perfectly suit their environments, all accompanied by an arsenal of different traps. Seeing you’ll have a rather zoomed out view of the game, things look rather small and thus some details may get lost in translation, but overall things look rather crisp and clear. Graphically there are two sides to Shadow Blade: Reload, as on the one hand there are the beautifully illustrated comic book panels that depict the story of the game and on the other hand you’ll find the 2.5D animated gameplay sequences, which are also nicely done, especially in their own way. While dialogues and the plot prove to be very simple, this game thrives on atmosphere, mostly created by said presentation. The story is brought by comic book panels at frequent intervals, presenting you with a fun way to process things. ![]() Even though you’re following the orders of your master, the medallion has a dark secret and it’s clear that things are not what they seem and that your master did not tell you everything. Several months later you’ll pursue villains in order to know where your master is, as the time has come to set things in motion. Other than the vague partings words: ‘’you’ll know when the time comes’’, you’ll be left to the whimsical moods of fate itself. While you are successful in coming to his aid quickly, he tells you to flee and gives you a mysterious medallion you must guard with your life. When all of a sudden your peaceful life gets disturbed when the other two factions decide to turn on you, you will have to use your deadly skills to find your master and save him from harm’s way. You are Kuro, a ninja under the tutelage of master Shiro, who belongs to one of the three major shinobi clans that each controls their respective areas. We dived into the shadows and prepared ourselves to stain our blades with blood. Comic book like visuals and slicing and dicing your way to the end of different levels sounded quite nice, and for the most part it certainly is. That being said, with the recent release on Mac’s App Store it was a good time to finally dig into this game and share our opinion. Shadow Blade: Reload has been released several months ago on Steam, but at that time we sadly missed the release of this flashy ninja game.

Shapiro said she hopes to adapt an existing technique used involving primordial germ cells, the embryonic precursors of sperm and eggs, that has already been used to create a chicken fathered by a duck. However, the subsequent work that’s needed to resurrect the animal - programming cells from a living relative of the dodo with the lost bird’s DNA - will be significantly more challenging. ![]() ![]() It’s a process which would allow them to narrow down which mutations in the genome “make a dodo a dodo,” Shapiro said.Ī dodo skeleton on display at a museum in Mauritius. The next step was to compare the genetic information with the dodo’s closest bird relatives in the pigeon family - the living Nicobar pigeon, and the extinct Rodrigues solitaire, a giant flightless pigeon that once lived on an island close to Mauritius. Shapiro said that she had already completed a key first step in the project - fully sequencing the dodo’s genome from ancient DNA - based on genetic material extracted from dodo remains in Denmark. Shapiro is the lead paleogeneticist at Colossal Biosciences, a biotechnology and genetic engineering start-up founded by tech entrepreneur Ben Lamm and Harvard Medical School geneticist George Church, which is working on equally ambitious projects to bring back the woolly mammoth and the thylacine, or Tasmanian tiger. And it’s our responsibility to bring stories and to bring excitement to people in way that motivates them to think about the extinction crisis that’s going on right now,” said Beth Shapiro, a professor of ecology and evolutionary biology at the University of California, Santa Cruz. “We’re clearly in the middle of an extinction crisis. They hope the project will open up new techniques for bird conservation. Now, a team of scientists wants to bring back the dodo in a bold initiative that will incorporate advances in ancient DNA sequencing, gene editing technology and synthetic biology. They doomed the dodo, which showed no fear of humans, to extinction in the space of just a few decades. The arrival of sailors brought with them invasive species like rats and practices like hunting. No other animal is as inexorably linked with extinction as the dodo, an odd-looking flightless bird that lived on the island of Mauritius in the Indian Ocean until the late 17th century. ![]() You made me feel like the king of the world, and you’re the queen who always supports me by my side.

Whether that means petitioning our elected officials to do the right thing or personally take action in contributing financial support, protesting against injustices, and defending victims of oppression. We all have a moral obligation to not only be aware of our current events, but moreover we must act upon them. While the horrors of the Holocaust remain an isolated historical event in some people’s minds, yesterday’s Holocaust Remembrance Day ceremony drove home the answer to the question “Are we our brothers’ keepers?” It’s very important for the John Carroll community and for me personally.” “I was very close with my grandfather who passed away six months ago, so I look at this as something in honor of my grandfather. “This event is very dear to me because my family hails from the former Soviet Union and I come from a long line of Holocaust survivors,” David Markovich said. This was one of six stories that were told at the Holocaust Remembrance Day service at John Carroll University, and these six stories represented six million stories of those who were killed in the Holocaust. He and his sister Eva were sent to Auschwitz where they were immediately murdered. The German SS was relentless, and in 1942 discovered Abraham’s true identity. To escape certain death, Abraham’s parents sent him to a rural countryside village where the young boy lived as a member of a Christian family and took the name Jan de Witt. In 1941, when the Nazis took control of the Netherlands, the persecution and murder of Jewish citizens escalated. The story I told to an audience of John Carroll University faculty, administrators, students and community members in the Dolan Science Center had to do with a four-year-old Dutch boy named Abraham Beem. I was one of six individuals whom David invited to read a story of a Holocaust victim and light a candle in their memory. This memorial ceremony was led by David Markovich, the founding president of Hillel at John Carroll, a Jewish student group. Yesterday, I had the profound experience of participating at John Carroll University’s first Holocaust Remembrance Day service. ![]() Throughout time, that question remains at the cornerstone of our moral obligation to people who are less fortunate and/or vict ims of oppression and/or injury.

By doing this, Gunter Demnig gives an individual memorial to each victim. Each plaque is engraved with the victim’s name, date of birth and place (mostly a concentration camp) and date of death. Stolpersteine (stumbling stones) are small, 10x10cm brass plaques placed in the pavement in front of the last voluntary residence of (mostly Jewish) victims who were murdered by the Nazis. "Stolpersteine" is an art project for Europe by Gunter Demnig to commemorate victims of National Socialism (Nazism).
