Okay so this is sort of a weird and maybe stupid question, but how do you know if you're in love with someone or if you just really like them?

TMC and EMBRASE Business Consulting today announced that Jeff Bonforte, who was recently named vice president of product at Yahoo!, will be the keynote speaker at StartupCamp8, being held August 27, 2013, at 4:30 p.m. PST at Mandalay Bay in Las Vegas.
StartupCamp offers early-stage entrepreneurs the chance to pitch their startups to a large audience of industry experts, media, investors and prospects.
Since 2008, Bonforte served as CEO of Xobni, an early mover in the address-book management space. In July of this year, Xobni was acquired by Yahoo. For Bonforte, his return to Yahoo! is a homecoming of sorts, as he was previously Yahoo's vice president of real-time communications. Known for his witty and insightful presentation style, Bonforte is also an accomplished communications technologist, with patents in the areas of voice recognition and instant messaging, among others. Bonforte was recently listed by Fortune Magazine as one of 36 of tech's most powerful disrupters.
"Put simply, Jeff is one the most candid, funny and straightforward speakers I have ever heard. His diverse background allows him plenty of valuable material to share, and his delivery is such that what he says just sinks in," said Larry Lisser, founder of StartupCamp. "StartupCamp is a fun and high-energy event that gives participants the opportunity to develop and strengthen working relationships, while honing their pitch to industry experts."
Last winter in Miami, StartupCamp7 featured an extraordinary interview with John Sculley, with New York's VerbalizeIt declared the winner of the pitch competition. The startup has since gone on to be featured on ABC's SharkTank.
StartupCamp8 is collocated with ITEXPO Las Vegas, held August 27-29, 2013, at Mandalay Bay in Las Vegas, and is supported by Platinum Sponsor Momentum; Gold Sponsors UberConference, Firespotter Labs and TelePacific Communications; and Silver Sponsor Phone.com.
Companies interested in participating in StartupCamp are encouraged to submit their application online. Registration for ITEXPO and its collocated events is now open, contact Frank Coppola at 203-852-6800 x131 for more information. For media inquiries, contact Ashley Baster.
Companies interested in exhibiting, sponsorship or advertising packages for ITEXPO and StartupCamp8 should contact TMC's Joe Fabiano, 203-852-6800 x132.

You've found it. https://cdn2.vox-cdn.com/community_logos/47293/steel_curtain_fave.png 2014-11-26T11:59:06-05:00 http://www.behindthesteelcurtain.com/rss/current/ 2014-11-26T11:59:06-05:00 2014-11-26T11:59:06-05:00 Computer algorithm gives Steelers second-best chance of winning in Week 13 in the NFL
Advanced metrics-based predictions don't paint any clearer picture of the outcome of Steelers games than the Steelers themselves do.

Meet Cortana. It predicts football games.

According to Business Insider, Cortana "is a Windows phone virtual assistant that uses a Bing Predicts algorithm to predict every NFL game. It began at the World Cup, where it correctly predicted 15 of 16 knockout stage games, and now it has moved on to the NFL."

It is giving the Steelers, favored by 3.5 points over the New Orleans Saints, a 75.4 percent chance of winning in Week 13. It only gave the Steelers a 59 percent chance of beating the Titans in Week 11.

This likely won't make Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin feel any better, and it shouldn't. Cortana, like most of the rest of the planet, picked the Steelers to beat the Jets in Week 10 with a 71 percent chance of success, and a whopping 78 percent chance of the Steelers beating the Buccaneers in Week 4.

In fact, it doesn't appear Cortana has any better of a read on the Steelers than fans do. Overall, it has picked five of the Steelers' 11 games correctly. It has picked the Steelers to win nine of their 11 games, only choosing the Panthers and Colts to top them. Both picks were wrong.

Week 1: Steelers over Browns (70.2 percent) - CORRECT
Week 2: Steelers over Ravens (59.8 percent) - WRONG
Week 3: Panthers over Steelers (67.4 percent) - WRONG
Week 4: Steelers over Buccaneers (75.4 percent) - WRONG
Week 5: Steelers over Jaguars (78.9 percent) - CORRECT
Week 6: Steelers over Browns (53.3 percent) - WRONG
Week 7: Steelers over Texans (55 percent) - CORRECT
Week 8: Colts over Steelers (56.6 percent) - WRONG
Week 9: Steelers over Ravens (67.7 percent) - CORRECT
Week 10: Steelers over Jets (71 percent) - WRONG
Week 11: Steelers over Titans (59 percent) - CORRECT

It would seem there are computer models as well as fans who feel the Steelers should be 9-2.

Was Bill Belichick behind LeGarrette Blount's decision to go AWOL? Is Cameron Heyward living up to the promise he showed in 2013? Brett Keisel has been a stud for the Steelers, but will the decision to bring him back carry longer-term negative consequences? Answer these and other Burning Questions on the Pittsburgh Steelers.

The bye week has come and gone, and the Pittsburgh Steelers close November in the thick of the AFC North race and appear to be at nearly full health (knock on wood). Five games remain but, before they can make a run at the division crown, Steelers Nation must first wrestle with these 5 Burning Questions....

1. LeGarrette Blount has come and gone, but his rapid return to New England has aroused suspicion in some quarters. Our own John Philips doesn't think there's anything to the rumors of foul play, but Ed Bouchette isn't quite so sure? What do you think? Is this just happy coincidence, or are the Steelers suffering from yet another one of Bill Belichick's malevolent machinations?

2. The Kansas City Chiefs just poached Nick Williams from the Pittsburgh's practice squad. After losing Josh Mauro to Pittsburgh West aka the Arizona Cardinals, this is the second defensive lineman the Steelers have lost to practice squad poaching. Brett Keisel has been gangbusters for the Steelers, but has the decision to bring him back inadvertently depleted future defensive line depth?

3. Speaking of Keisel, he has been credited as the unsung hero on the Steelers defense. If that's true, what does it say about Cameron Heyward? After a strong 2013, has his performance been up to par in 2014?

4. BTSC editor Neal Coolong mentioned that, with the return of so many injured players, it's time for the Steelers to see some return on their investment in defense. Going down the stretch, how should the Steelers balance the imperative to win now with the long-term need to develop players like Ryan Shazier, Shamarko Thomas and even Jarvis Jones?

5. Its gut-check time for Steelers Nation. The Steelers are 7-4 with games against the New Orleans Saints, Atlanta Falcons, Cincinnati Bengals, and Kansas City Chiefs remaining. How will they finish in this erratic AFC North? Make your pick now and get "Bragging Rights" in January.

That's it folks have at it.

You can only pay one receiver like a star, and the Steelers decided to reward Antonio Brown while letting go several other talented receivers during the past two seasons.

For Steelers fans, there's much to be thankful for this holiday season.

A 7-4 record that includes a 4-1 mark in their last five games, a team in the thick of things in the AFC North race, three skilled position players at the height of their powers, an offensive line anchored be an All-Pro center, and an emerging defense that should be even better moving forward with the return of Ike Taylor and Troy Polamalu.

Steelers fans should also be thankful for Steelers' General Manager Kevin Colbert, who is counting his blessings after seeing his gamble with the receiving unit start to turn in his favor.

Three years ago, the Steelers' offense was blessed with the young receiving trio of Antonio Brown, Mike Wallace, and Emmanuel Sanders. They were also aided by veteran receiver Jerricho Cotchery, who hauled in 10 touchdowns as the Steelers' third receiver last season. While Cotchery and the Steelers' "Young Money" trio was indeed formidable, there simply wasn't enough money to pay each one as a premier receiver. Colbert decided to sign Brown long term in 2012, essentially choosing him over Wallace, who was the team's leading receiver during the team's run to Super Bowl XLV. After watching Wallace catch on with the Dolphins last season, Colbert decided not to get into a bidding war with Sanders and Cotchery, who left Pittsburgh to sign with Denver and Carolina, respectively. Colbert rolled the dice, opting to find new talent through the draft and free-agency to flank Brown, who has blossomed into one of - if not the best - receiver in the NFL.

 Watch Markus Wheaton shred the Browns in Week 1.

Colbert's first moves were the signings of free-agents Lance Moore and Darrius Heyward-Bey. He then appeased Ben Roethlisberger's desire for a tall receiver by drafting 6-foot-4 Clemson receiver Martavis Bryant in the fourth round. Colbert also decided to show faith in second-year man Markus Wheaton, who caught six passes as a rookie in 2013.There were question marks about each one heading into 2014. Could Moore overcome the injuries that began to slow him down during his time in New Orleans? Would Heyward-Bey ever show the promise that made him a former first-round draft pick? Was Wheaton ready to emerge as one of the team's leading receivers? After recording just 61 catches in college, would Bryant be ready to contribute to the Steelers' offense this season, or would he be a two- or three-year project?

Colbert's transformation of the Steelers' receiving unit wasn't an overnight success. In fact, through the team's first six games, the question could be asked about whether or not the Steelers let go one too many receivers and put too much faith in the newcomers, while putting too much weight on Brown and running back Le'Veon Bell. With Moore and Bryant sitting out most of that time with injuries, and Heyward-Bey struggling to find his place in the offense, the Steelers were a .500 team following an ugly loss at Cleveland.

It has been a different story ever since, with Moore and Bryant recording touchdowns in the team's 30-23 win the following week against visiting Houston. While Moore is starting to catch on in the offense (11 catches for 156 yards and two touchdowns thus far), Bryant has evolved into a big-play receiver that has evoked memories of Plaxico Burress in his prime. Six of Bryant's 16 receptions have gone for touchdowns, as the rookie is averaging over 20 yards per catch. Wheaton has held his own as he is fourth on the team with 36 catches for 442 yards. Armed with these newcomers while also having Brown (88 catches for 1,161 yards), Bell (57 catches for 484 yards) and tight end Heath Miller (43 catches for 502), Roethlisberger is armed with a receiving depth not many other teams in football can rival, as eight different Steelers have caught touchdowns from Big Ben this season.

While it's in our nature as fans to lash out at coaches and GMs when things go wrong, let's give Colbert some kudos on his transformation of the Steelers' offense, particularly the receiving unit. When clicking, it has made this offense extremely fun to watch and a major reason why the team stands where it does today.
 http://www.behindthesteelcurtain.com/pittsburgh-steelers-nfl-features-news-blog-long-form/2014/11/26/7280423/emerging-receiving-unit-paying-off-for-colbert-steelers Bryan DeArdo 2014-11-26T09:26:20-05:00 2014-11-26T09:26:20-05:00 Antonio Brown will square off against ex-Steelers CB Keenan Lewis
Lewis makes his return to Pittsburgh where he started his NFL career in 2009. He won't be welcomed warmly, either by the weather or by the prospect of handling one of the league's most dangerous players, Steelers WR Antonio Brown.

One of the more hotly debated topics among Steelers fans the last two years is the decision to move on from ex-Steelers cornerback Keenan Lewis.

That decision leaves a particularly bitter taste in the mouths of many, considering the Steelers gave a comparable contract to Cortez Allen, who hasn't exactly earned it 11 games into the five-year deal.

Lewis had a good season for the Saints in 2013, his first year with his hometown club. His performance in 2014 hasn't been at that level, but past results will mean nothing when Lewis squares off against his former team, particularly against the league's receptions leader, Antonio Brown.

Brown fell 31 yards behind Denver's DeMaryius Thomas as the league's receiving-yards leader, but his 88 catches is still tops in the NFL. The Saints' passing defense hasn't exactly been stellar, giving up a opposing passer-rating of 96.9 through 11 games.

While the Steelers may be better off to have kept Lewis, based on the last season and 11 games, they nevertheless have an advantage in this game. Lewis doesn't have the lateral quickness to cover Brown exclusively (few, if any, do), and help in zone-coverage has been hard to come by in New Orleans these days. It's a matchup that favors Brown, but what else is new?

The Steelers' best bet in this game is to establish and lean on the run, but they'll still get Brown the ball, and he should be particularly excited to battle his former teammate. That should be enough to expect another strong day of production for Brown in what could be a high-scoring affair in Pittsburgh.

Taylor freely admits he can talk until he's blue in the face, but he sends a simple message with his return to the field just a few days away.

The Steelers' cornerback position was the focal point of attention this off-season, from free-agency whispers of targeting Alterraun Verner (he would eventually join the Tampa Bay Buccaneers) to reports of the Steelers' desire to grab Justin Gilbert in the draft (he went eighth to Cleveland). The word was the Steelers would address the cornerback position in an effort to bolster depth and find a new starter for the 2015 season.

Until they didn't.

Getting veteran cornerback Ike Taylor to accept a reduced contract and signing Brice McCain in free agency, the Steelers did all they felt they needed to do to address this need. They didn't anticipate the drop-off suffered by cornerback Cortez Allen - recipient of a five-year contract extension this off-season - or the broken forearm suffered by Taylor in Week 3. All these things considered, the cornerback position has held up through the team's first 11 games this season.

One thing was constant throughout all of that; Taylor's ability to talk. He spoke on his weekly Trib Live Radio show and to Tribune Review reporter Mark Kaboly recently, as Taylor is likely to return to the field in some capacity when the Steelers take on the Saints in Week 13.

"I really feel good about this team," Taylor told Kaboly. "but the only way we are going to do that is to put 10 toes in. I have to have 10 toes in, and you have to be head first."

 Brice McCain had a big play in Week 5 vs. Jacksonville.

Your guess is as good as any as to what specifically he means, but it sounds good, it's original and it sends a deeper message. As Kaboly points out in the piece, Taylor is one of seven Steelers players who have won a Super Bowl with the team. This current configuration of the Pittsburgh Steelers doesn't have the championship experience of those from the past. Taylor suggests the team is capable of coming together and making a late-season run, provided their, uh, toes, are in.

Getting Taylor's 10 toes back on the field will help bolster depth a bit, especially in light of recent news that Allen broke a thumb and had surgery during the bye-week. He hasn't been used a lot, but there has been strong feeling he would get an opportunity to redeem himself from a poor start this year that resulted in getting benched.

The degree to which Taylor will be used remains to be seen but, considering the team threw veterans Brett Keisel and James Harrison into the fire immediately upon their respective returns to the team, it makes sense to think Taylor will get a healthy dose of snaps against the Saints Sunday. While William Gay and McCain have been starting, with Antwon Blake entering in nickel situations, Taylor can help fill a role on the outside either in base or sub-packages, with Gay moving inside, his more natural position. This will help bolster the overall depth, even if not to a high degree.

The Steelers will enter an off-season, regardless of how well they do in these final five games and possibly the postseason, with more questions regarding their cornerback position moving forward. For now, they're making it work with what they have.

Toes in and everything.

Teams with big passing offenses can't ever be counted on to lose, even if the local fish wraps are dogging the Saints.

That sinking feeling in your stomach...yeah. The anxiety, the sprouting seed of doubt inside you. It's not the fear of having to hang out with your drunken uncle over Thanksgiving. It's the pang of worry welling up within your being of the Steelers taking on yet another team on the ropes and with little success on which to hang their helmets this year.

The Saints are the third consecutive sub-.500 team the Steelers will face this season. Sitting at 4-7, even the local fish wraps are down on them. This from New Orleans Times-Picayune writer Jeff Duncan, who sounds eerily familiar to beat reports on the Jets and the Titans before their games against the Steelers the last two weeks:

The Saints aren't good enough. They have now played 11 games and lost seven of them. They have lost games in just about every way possible now. They've lost at home and on the road, dropped nail-biters and been blown out of the building, succumbed in high-scoring shootouts and low-scoring tussles.

Allow that doubt to creep in because, lost in the bitterness of Duncan's words, is an offense ranked in the top-10 in passing (308.8 yards a game), rushing (124.8 yards per game) and scoring (26.2 points a game). They're one-fifth of a yard per game behind Indianapolis for the league's top yardage offense with 433.6.

The Steelers' offense isn't too far behind them at 406.4 yards per game, fifth in the NFL, and they're dead even in scoring. Needless to say, neither the Jets nor the Titans, and certainly not the Buccaneers and Jaguars, were anywhere close to those marks.

The Saints may be 4-7 on the season but they don't go down easily. Baltimore sealed their win over New Orleans on Justin Forsett's second touchdown of the night, perhaps the finest game of his career. But the Saints marched down the field to score a touchdown with little time left on the clock. One fortuitous bounce on an ensuing onside kick and they've got the ball around midfield with 39 seconds left. That's plenty of time for a passing game as advanced as the Saints.

 James Harrison destroyed the Baltimore Ravens.

The reason they failed to recover the onside kick is perhaps not exactly the same as the reasons they're 4-7, but the spirit is the same. They're a play or two behind their opponents. One bad interception marred an otherwise excellent game from Brees. Will Hill had been dogged by Brees throughout the first half of the game, and perhaps Brees dipped into that well once too often. Hill picked him off and took it back 44 yards for a touchdown. It all went downhill after that for the Saints.

It was tied at 17 in the third quarter before the Ravens made the crucial play of the game.

Making that play is the key to winning games against dangerous teams like the Saints. The Steelers, oddly, are just a shade below average in terms of interceptions. But during the last few years, they've sat right around the bottom of the league. While Brees has thrown an uncharacteristically high amount of picks this year - 11 in 462 attempts - the Saints stayed well within the game against Baltimore.

A team can't give Brees or the Saints too many opportunities. While no quarterback has been hotter at home than Ben Roethlisberger, and the Steelers get the benefit of a home game coming out of their bye, an offensive game plan featuring too many passes - i.e. too many opportunities for a road opponent to steal a big play - might be a mark against Pittsburgh.

Playing it closer to the vest than they have in recent home games may be the best option. A run-heavy plan focused on keeping Brees off the field and playing to a lead, may be the best option.

At the same time, if you had the hot, home-passing Roethlisberger at your disposal, would you keep him under wraps?

There's that feeling of anxiety again.

There are three quality games being played all day on Thursday, and that should make an excellent day of NFL entertainment. The trick is actually picking these correctly.

A few of the BTSC writers will continue to pretend they know the answers to the proverbial "who will win this week?" question, and will try their hand at picking the winner in the first week with all teams playing since Week 3.

Naturally, we all picked Pittsburgh; three-point favorites at home, a place where they've scored 121 points their last three games. That's a quality pick. In the big game of the week, New England at Green Bay, Jeff Hartman and myself are taking the home-squad Packers, while Beth Mincin is going with the red-hot Patriots.

Beth and I collectively picked an AFC North sweep, taking Cleveland in an road upset over Buffalo (Jeff has the Bills) and all of us have the Bengals taking out the Buccaneers.

Happy early Thanksgiving to all, especially those of you leaving town. Remember, BTSC can be found via your smart phone...ahem...be careful tonight, the biggest party night outside New Year's Eve in the country.

Be safe, be well, and be back after the holiday for a huge Steelers game against the Saints.

Steelers coach Mike Tomlin addressed the team's running backs position in his weekly press conference. He has nothing to gain by pointing out the obvious; it's all Le'Veon Bell the rest of the way.

Every NFL head coach carries in his daily duties a salesman's mask. The Steelers, rightfully in our opinion, released running back LeGarrette Blount, and Tomlin the coach doesn't need to justify the release; Tomlin the salesman has to convince those around him of the worthiness of the team's depth at the position now.

He put out a pretty good sales pitch at his press conference Tuesday, selling those in attendance on the value of back-ups Dri Archer and Josh Harris.

"I'm not reluctant at all (about using backup running backs)," Tomlin said. "Just because Dri has a limited number of carries in his career and Josh (Harris) has none doesn't mean they can't be significant contributors to our efforts not only this week, but moving forward."

True, the fact Archer didn't get the ball as the team's third-string running back doesn't mean he won't get it as the team's backup running back. It's worth pointing out that Blount, a far more accomplished player than Archer, walked off the field because he wasn't getting the ball enough. And in Tomlin's own words, he admits Archer has a limited number of carries.

 Steelers QB Ben Roethlisberger slaughtered the Colts.

It's Bell or Bust in Pittsburgh,and that's perfectly fine. His 33-carry performance to seal off the Tennessee Titans should be evidence of that. Tomlin is smart to at least sell the idea that Archer and Harris will have some consistent roles heading into the final five games of the season, if for no reason than to get people remembering they're there, and perhaps they'll even get a carry or two just to make sure future opponents see they'll use them.

But whatever significant contributory value Tomlin is referring to must involve something pertaining to a role of game-week preparation. Using a more patient and less timid Archer in passing packages will continue to make sense, and his improvement in that area will benefit the Steelers' offense. As for Harris, he hasn't been on the field, and if Tomlin and the Steelers have been sitting on an unheralded gem all season, then we'll be as surprised as anyone when he gets onto the field and performs.

There's no point in selling the former, and it makes all the sense in the world to sell the latter. The whole "ride him until his wheels fall off" thing came a bit too close to reality last time to risk mentioning it again.

Super Sky Sisters Timelapse
Make sure to watch it in full 1080p at 60 frames per second, yeah!
The game isn't out yet, but you can watch me make it at hyper speed over the course of 48 hours. The game ended up getting a bunch of awards at the game jam, including second place overall which is pretty cool!

Dev Log: Game Jammin
Whoops I've totally neglected my blog for the past week or so. I spent last week working on some minor Otter things, as well as getting ready for a local game jam. Then I jammed for 48 hours last weekend!

I also recorded a timelapse, and that'll be coming pretty soon!

Game Jam Procedural Generation Part III
In the last episode of Game Jam Procedural Generation I talked a lot about generating the base of the platforming level in Starforger II, and carving out rooms into the ground of the level.
So now we have a basic level that with a bunch of empty rooms below the ground. The next step is going to be connecting those rooms together. To do this I built a quick class called a TunnelSnake (tunnel snakes rule) to dig tunnels from any point on the map to any other point. Here's the full source of that class:
class TunnelSnake {No Comments
public int X;
public int Y;
public int Width = 1;
public int Height = 2;
public int EndX;
public int EndY;
int verticalSteps;
int verticalStepMax = 4;
int forceHorizontal = 0;
int forceHDirection = 1;
public TunnelSnake(int x, int y, int endX, int endY) {
X = x;
Y = y;
EndX = endX;
EndY = endY;
public void Dig(GridCollider grid) {
while (X != EndX || Y != EndY) {
grid.SetRect(X, Y, Width, Height, false);
if (Rand.Chance(50) || forceHorizontal > 0) {
if (forceHorizontal > 0) {
X += forceHDirection;
Height = 2;
X = (int)Util.Clamp(X, 2, grid.TileColumns - 2);
else {
X += Math.Sign(EndX - X);
if (forceHorizontal == 0) {
verticalSteps = 0;
else {
Y += Math.Sign(EndY - Y);
if (verticalSteps == verticalStepMax) {
forceHorizontal = Rand.Int(3, 15);
forceHDirection = Rand.Sign;
if (Rand.Chance(50)) {
if (Rand.Chance(50)) {
Width += Rand.Sign;
Width = (int)Util.Clamp(Width, 1, 5);
if (Rand.Chance(50)) {
Height += Rand.Sign;
Height = (int)Util.Clamp(Height, 2, 6);

Starforger II
A few weeks ago I went to a local game jam in Phoenix! The them was discovery and I set out to make some kind of space exploration procedural thing. The final result was a game I named Starforger II. There is no Starforger I, but maybe I can make a prequel someday.
Starforger II v1.0 - Windows (92mb)
Whoa what's with the file size? Well this game has a lot of weird sounds in it, and maybe I can figure out how to get them more compressed, but right now they take up a lot of space.
The game uses Enter, X, C, and the arrow keys, or a USB game controller (although the game is designed around the 360 controller, so using one of those would be ideal.)

Game Jam Procedural Generation Part II
In the last episode of Game Jam Procedural Generation I talked about the "outer layer" of my procedural generation code for my yet to be released game jam game. After the outer layer of stuff has been generated, that can be used to inform the "inner layer" of the procedural generation. So the outer layer in this case is the galaxy that the player can explore in their ship, and the inner layer is the actual side scrolling platformer level that they will explore.
Where do we even begin? First keep in mind that I'm using Otter for all of this stuff, so if you see functions and code that looks totally unfamiliar, it's probably an Otter thing. Also keep in mind that all of this code was written during a 48 hour game jam, so it ain't pretty. I'm just going to be sharing big snippets of code and hopefully try to explain what is happening in each one.
In the last step I talked about how I create a config object to hold all of the possible fields that will be used to generate the level. Here's what that looks like:
class ScenePlatformingConfig {
public int Width;
public int Height;
public int ShipStartOffset;
public int TreasureDirection;
public int TreasureDistanceOffset;
public int GroundLevelOffset;
public bool Explored;
public bool Pillaged;
public int Jagginess;
public int Platforms;
public int DecaySpots;
public int DecayChance;
public int IslandSpots;
public int IslandSize;
public int Rooms;
public string Name;
public int BreakableChance;
public int CreatureChance;
No Comments
Pretty straight forward. Just a simple class that will hold a bunch of values that can be then passed to the classes that generate the platforming level. read more

Game Jam Procedural Generation Part I
My latest game jam game still isn't quite ready for release, and unfortunately at this point it will have to wait until after PAX, but I can still share some source code from it that will maybe help people out when it comes to procedurally generating things in their games.
The premise of my jam game is that you play as a space explorer type person who is flying a ship around the galaxy searching for planets with shiny ore on them. When the game starts the entire galaxy is procedurally generated. This is a fancy way in saying that a bunch of random things happen and hopefully it works out.
for (var i = 0; i < 99; i++) {
var size = Rand.Int(8, 64);
planetSupply -= size;
if (planetSupply <= 0) {
size = 8;
var x = Rand.Float(Width);
var y = Rand.Float(Height);
var d = new Destination(x, y, size);
while (d.CloseToOtherDestination()) {
d.X = Rand.Float(Width);
d.Y = Rand.Float(Height);
No Comments
This is my CreatePlanets() function for the map scene in the game. What this does is just creates 99 planets and places them in the scene at random X and Y coordinates. The map scene has a Width and Height defined earlier in the game (in this case I believe its 5000 x 5000 pixels.)
The scene also has a planetSupply field that is defined earlier. Whenever a planet is generated, its size is subtracted from the planetSupply. If the planetSupply is less or equal to 0, all planets created from that point on will be the smallest possible size. This was to control how many huge planets were created in the scene. read more
Hi there, my name is Kyle, and I'm a kid disguised as a grown up. I'm making video games and living the indie game developer life in Tempe, Arizona. Here you will find my thoughts, games, websites, doodles, and other stuff like that. I worked on Snapshot, Offspring Fling, and a whole bunch of other games. I also created and maintain Otter, a 2d game making framework. If you want to get a hold of me use the form on the bottom of the page, leave a comment, or just tweet at me.

View and location
Rooms facing street are noisy
The reception staff and concierge were very helpful and attentive. The waiters at the restaurant were friendly and helpful, especially Cos at the hotel restaurant, who was warm, approachable and very professional. The restaurant meals were varied and good as well.
a lot of black and mirrors were used in the decor especially in the lobby bar and passageways which made the hotel feel too dark.
Great facilities, nice breakfast
No swimming pool
Everything! We can't wait to return.
Wouldn't change a thing.
Best Hotel in Izmir.
Everything good
Not have enough light in room
Comfortable beds free minibar amazing shower
Lighting a bit over the top complicated and TV remote a bit hit and miss meaning hard to adjust Nice room service menu but was only the option to eat it in your room - would have been nice to have had same options in bar or restaurant
A perfect hotel... Especially the interior design of the room was awesome. You should see there...
Everything (except the trafic noise)
The nights are almost noiseless, but the hotel gets a little bit treated by the traffic during the day.
Enthusiatic staff will work hard for your confort. View is perfect and rooms are impressive.
entrance of the hotel and sign of the hotel can not be found well.
There was literally nothing we didn't like/love about this place. The breakfast was arguably one of the best hotel breakfasts we have ever had and I was mildly obsessed with the bed, quality of linens, and the shower. Loved everything about this place.
Everything was excellent about this hotel. While hotel is great itself staff is just fabulous, really kind and helpfull. Will come again one day for sure.
Everything was perfect. Great location & staff & management, very comfortable bed & pillows (goose down), hi-tech room, silent A/C, high quality bathroom amenities, free of charge mini bar, beautiful view, etc. This hotel deserves to be the best İzmir hotel. About the breakfast: buffet is not half mile long, OK. but this does not mean that the buffet is poor. Instead of 450 different tasteless food like in some other hotels, you have (say 50) very delicious stuff in the buffet, which I definitely prefer.
best of izmir
Everything! The staff, location, room, comfort, restaurant & service were top class in every way.
The staff is amazing, the hotel is wonderful, and its just one of the best ever!
This hotel has every possible up to date facility. Everything is operated electronic tropically. Free mini bar is a plus.
The rather impersonal feel of the hotel. Staff are exemplary and polite but not don't seem interested on a personal level. Prices in the bar/ lounge high.
Modern design, good polite staff. Outfitted with quite a few modern gimmicks
sometimes these gimmicks to don't work.
Wonderful breakfasts, comfortable large room, and service beyond expectations
Our room faced onto a busy main road (not over seafront) and traffic noise continued all night. If noise bothers you, best to pay a bit extra for a sea view room. But otherwise would thoroughly recommend as a more sophisticated venue.
Almost everything
Carpet a bit spotty
Nice hotel,Nice breakfast.
Hotel - 1)Long steep ladder to reach front desk reception and Elevador as well. It makes no sense as the elevator comes to the street level but can only be used by employees...???? Something uncomprehensible!!! 2) concierge knows nothing about the city. Didn't know the city tour bus stops, did not have the folder,price and schedule of citytour bus, no touristic information at all. 3) reasonable English spoken only at front desk...the rest of all employees no English or any other language at all. They were gentle,kind but NO ORAL COMMUNICATION with them. CITY ABSOLUTELY NOTHING TO BE SEEN OR VISITED. Strange being a third city of the country. NON RECOMMENDABLE FORBTOURISM EVEN TO SAY YOU HAVE VISITED IT.
Location is perfect , staff are helpful and polite specially Reception and restaurant staff .
Nothing to remember .
Everything from friendly and compentent staff, great rainshower, breakfast to flawless cleanliness.
It´s really a pity there is no pool.
Amazing place to stay in Izmir. Next level hospitality period
Lovely staff very comfortable bed and enjoyable stay all round!

Zhang, Zhenmei, Danan Gu, and Mark D. Hayward. 2008. "Early-Life Influences on Cognitive Impairment among Chinese Oldest-Old." Journals of Gerontology Series B: Psychological and Social Sciences, 63(1): S25-S33.
OBJECTIVES: This article examines the effects of early life socioeconomic conditions on the risk of cognitive impairment among oldest old persons in China. We also examine whether adult socioeconomic status mediates the association between early life socioeconomic status and cognitive impairment in old age. METHODS: Data derived from two waves (1998-2000) of the Chinese Longitudinal Healthy Longevity Survey. We estimated logistic and multinomial regression models of cognitive impairment for a nationwide sample of people aged 80 to 105 (N = 8,444). RESULTS: Among both men and women, urban residence in early life as well as education was associated with lower odds of cognitive impairment at baseline. We found modest support for a protective effect of advantaged childhood background on the odds of cognitive impairment onset during the 2-year follow-up, especially among women. DISCUSSION: Our findings suggest that socioeconomic environment throughout the life course, early life in particular, can influence the risk of cognitive impairment in old age. Not only can public policy that targets illiteracy, hunger, and poverty improve the lives of tens of thousands of children, but ultimately such investments will pay significant dividends many decades later in enhancing the cognitive well-being of older persons.
Country of focus: China.

there are individuals who behave more like robots than humans. whatever happened to artificial intelligence from back in the 1980s? this brings up a slew of conceptual thinking. maybe it is better to be non-human. are there aliens amongst us and we don't even know it?

This display will make your nail art look like art fit for a museum.
You'll need a variety of your nail art designs on tips, a ruler, posterboard, a box cutter, paint and a paint brush, glue gun with glue sticks, a pencil, and a picture frame.
(I got this frame for $0.25 at a thrift store. I like to choose frames with details in the wood -- it adds to the look.)
5. Arrange your nail art tips on the posterboard the way you want them. Glue them in place.
6. Clean and secure the glass to the frame. (All I did was push the prongs toward the glass to hold it in place, but using the glue gun also works.) Glue the frame to the posterboard. Work quickly so the board and frame will bond with no gaps.
