Zaid's Dystopia (REVIEW)

Summary:

Zaid's Dytopia was about a city being under complete surveillance by the government, using robot tracker birds; birds that have cameras for heads. They recharge by sitting on cables outside (which was my favourite part). They go to your windows and follow you around so they can monitor everything you're doing.

Commendation:

Creativity was on-point, there were a lot of details about the tracker bird, to let us know how the robot birds actually work. A major creativity point was mixing real-life things with fictional things, just like how real birds sit on wires or cables. The robot ones sit on it so they can recharge.

The creativity also had sci-fi in it (my favorite genre). It makes you think, who created them? Scientists? Did they create it for the government? Or did the government itSELF create them? And for tracker birds to circle around an entire city, how did they have TIME to make all of them? And are they still making them?

Some subheadings were implemented, in order to help us know a little bit of what we are about to hear or read.

Zaid spoke clearly and expressively, and I was able to follow along with ease.

The images were relevant and clear, so we can get a visual look of what he was telling us (e.g. the image of the tracker bird helped us know what it really looked like).

The title, "THE TRACKER" made his Dystopia mysterious and interesting. The caps also helped with that.

The animations and transitions from one slide to another in Powerpoint gave his presentation more fun and liveliness.

Recommendation:

I recommend you use more headings, as not all new paragraphs had them. And try to make more eye contact, use more emphasism in your body language, and speak in a tone to keep your presentation more lively. On one of the slides, the text blended in with the background. There are three solutions for this:

1. You could change the font color.

2. You could change the text location to a place where the background color isn't similar to the font color.

3. Maybe try to change the background.

Conclusion:

Overall, and in conclusion, the presentation was really creative. I enjoyed it thouroughly especially because there was a lot of sci-fi in it. In fact, it gave me an idea for a movie/story! The idea of robotic bird tracker drones owned by the government and are watching the whole city is just BRILLIANT! Well done, Zaid!

Navmesh VS Nodes (GAME AI)

Image
In most games, such as Garry's Mod, every NPC (non-player character) either has navigation code using navmesh or nodes. What is a navmesh? A navmesh code is when an NPC calculates how to get somewhere. Let's say we have an NPC whose goal is to get to a certain object. Navmesh squares , which are invisible 20x20 metered ground squares, allow the navmesh NPC to get to the object. When the NPC reaches the navmesh square containing the object, it will move directly towards it. What is a node? A node is when an NPC has the knowledge of where it is able to go to. Nodes are much harder to code because it is pin-point accuracy on every point on the map. A node point is an invisible stick pinned on every little piece of a map. NPC's are much, much smarter than navmesh-coded NPC's, because, the NPC has to go to a player and talk to it. The NPC quickly calculates multiple paths that it can use to get to the player and recognizes the node that the player is standing in. This is g...

The Bedroom (A Short Horror Story by Noah Omar)

Image
"Mom? Are you sure there's nothing in the wardrobe?" a boy named Tim asked. "There's nothing, sweetie, now go to sleep. You have school tommorow." Tim's mother said. She turned off the light as she walked out the bedroom.  Tim was left sleeping on his bed, staring at his wardrobe. "There's nothing in there," he assured himself. Tim felt tired and eventually fell asleep, with only the sound of his clock ticking, over and over and... over... ............... WAKE UP!!! Tim jumped up, startled. He blinked hard.  Did something just say "wake up"? Tim was unsure. It was probably his imagination. But then Tim saw something that made his heart stop. His wardrobe was slightly open... "Huh? What? How did... That's impossible!" Tim was scared and confused. He was 100% sure that his mother closed the wardrobe before she left his room. Or did she? Tim stared at it, long and hard. But all he could see inside was just his raincoat ...

The BACKROOMS Explained

                                                                           The Backrooms The Backrooms is an infinite maze of yellow hallways and florescent buzzing lights. This liminal space includes entities (monsters) living in it, scattered in different parts. Getting lost in this place is extremely easy, so be careful. The Backrooms is not a simulation or a man-made place, and if you are unlucky, you might somehow "slip" or "noclip" (phase) into it. This horrifying and sanity-draining place is not in this reality. Yet, there is this tiny loophole that exists in a very random spot in the entire world, and if you happen to go through it, there is a chance you will end up in the Backrooms OR if you are lucky, which is very, very, extremely occasional, you will just teleport to a nearby spot in the ...
