With each iteration, NetLogo uses a "seed" number that generates a random sequence of numbers. The different outcomes are a result of using a pseudorandom number sequence which determines in what order the agents are called on to run the commands. If you run the model below several times (using the " go (non-deterministic)" button) you will notice that this in fact does not happen. If the starting conditions are the same and each agent is following the same commands, then the pattern of black and yellow patches should be identical every time the model is run. After all agents have executed this set of commands, they do it again. Essentially, an agent moves forward 1 space if the patch below is black it sets it to yellow and turns right if the patch below is yellow it sets it back to black and turns left. The agents also all follow the same set of commands. That is, the setup function places the agents at the origin and gives the headings of 0, 90, 180, and 270 degrees. The starting conditions of the model are the same every time. The model below is a variation on Langton's Ant which includes four agents. This feature of NetLogo can be used to illustrate deterministic processes as well as to mimic non-deterministic ones. For example, when a set of agents are asked to run a command, the agents must be sequentially asked because they cannot be asked simultaneously. NetLogo is designed to mimic a parallel processing system, although it is fundamentally a serial processing one. Determinism and Non-determinism in NetLogo

Azio Retro Classic Elwood Bluetooth Modern Mechanical Keyboards Power comes from a USB connection which, though not as practical as a wireless option, certainly adds to the authentic retro experience.

If you do like the look of this one, it’s worth keeping in mind that it is a 75% keyboard, meaning – you guessed it – that it’s 75% the size of a regular-sized keyboard. Make no mistake about it, this is one seriously well-built keyboard, with nice, thick keys and a sturdy metallic construction.

All of these mods implement different creatures, and have a separate theme/aesthetic. This doesn't include expansions, which Additional Creatures 2: Wild ARK does have. The Additional Creatures series currently consists of 9 different mods (with another WIP, for a total of 10). The series as a whole contains 100+ creatures so far, with plenty more on the way, and they are all balanced for the vanilla-ark experience and have a unique role to play both in the ecosystem and as a tame. Additional Creatures is a series which aims to further enrich ARK: Survival Evolved's base experience. Additional Creatures has the simple aim to continue the addition of unique species into the ARK world for the player to experience, tame, and ride.

The Additional Creatures wiki has been created and is heavily maintained by the Additional Creatures series mod team. Hello ARK Survivors! This is the official wiki for the mods "Additional Creatures: Senior Class", "Additional Creatures 2: Wild ARK", "Additional Creatures 2: Paranoia", "Additional Creatures: Aquaria", "Additional Creatures: Kami Creations", "Additional Creatures: Dawnbreaker", "Additional Creatures: DodoReaper", and "Additional Creatures: Grand Hunt" on ARK's steam workshop. This made it so that I had no real idea how to increase my approval and spent a lot of time reloading saves after losing elections and then taking a bunch of random actions in the hope that it might have some effect. In fact, faced with no idea what to do other than constructing lots of schools and colleges, I was never able to get my job satisfaction over 50%. The game seems to think what it should tell you is the unemployment numbers, which is pretty frustrating when the 12 unemployed people on your island of 1000 are dragging your job satisfaction below 50. Tropico 5, by contrast, has nothing of the sort. For example, in T4 you can put up an overlay that shows job satisfaction building by building across the island and take steps to improve the situation. In T4, the sheer number of overlays and graphs one has access to made city management not easy, but straightforward. Unfortunately, it lacks the depth of its predecessor in more ways than just the number of buildings. The sandbox mode got old very quickly, lacking the sort of depth in city building/management that a game like SimCity would have. The campaign is rather long and even replayable a few times as you can try out the missions on two different islands. It is these characters that truly give the game its signature flavor, and in this area doesn’t feel neglected. The game’s signature tongue-in-cheek humor is stronger than ever with the return of fan favorites like Penultimo and the introduction of a new round of colorful characters. The missions are diverse and you get to maintain your cities from one mission to the next. Tropico 5 has three modes: Campaign, Sandbox and Multiplayer. At first I wasn’t quite sure of the best way to manage this, but eventually did find a system of sorts in the “People” screen. This can be very useful though a little time consuming later in the game. Far more interesting is the introduction of building “managers” who have some effect on the building to which you assign them, such as increasing production or job satisfaction. Tropico now features “Dynasties” where you have five leaders with one attribute instead of the old single leader with three attributes. Just a little bit of collision detection/prevention would do this game a world of good. There are actually numerous illusion-breaking moments in the game, especially seeing passenger planes constantly flying through apartment buildings. However, the veneer of this actually being a new game rather than a stripped down T4 immediately ceases when a Tsunami occurs and an oil tanker from 60 years in the future (the oil tanker from T4) gets washed ashore. The game does have a nice interface, but it’s hard to say that it’s any better than T4’s, just different. Rather than starting with the same depth T4 eventually attained, they’ve opted to go with the absolute bare minimum, presumably so that they can portion out all the other T4 buildings in $5 DLC packs (Penultimo would be proud). The sheer number of structures that a fully DLCed T4 had at its disposal was truly grand. All of these challenges and any cut scenes and dialogue are all done for comedic effect and usually give me a chuckle… at least the first couple times I hear it. Some of these challenges are mandatory for advancement through the game, and some of these are optional, giving benefits for completing goals that the player may find convenient or completely disastrous. Throughout the game challenges are issued to the player. Over the years you’ll meet the challenges of rebellion, unrest, elections, housing, pollution, trade, education, imperialism, warfare, global politics, growth and city management, mostly by building the right mix of buildings in the right locations, micromanaging them and issuing edicts that come with some trade off. Tropico 5 opts completely for the latter.įor those unfamiliar with the series, Tropico thrusts you into the role of ruler of leader of a Caribbean banana republic and challenges you to grow both your nation and the balance of your Swiss bank account. It’s hard to find the right compromise between satisfying fans of the series by expanding the amount of content in interesting ways and making the game accessible to new players. It’s difficult being the 5th installment of a game like Tropico. However, it was the second lockdown in December 2020 that was most difficult, “It’s always harder to jump out of a moving plane the second time than the first,” Mark says. For Mark, the initial work stoppage was about four months long, and in July 2020 he was able to pick up a few gigs for live stream events. Lisa turned to gardening and Mark went on long walks to cope. The transition from their busy working lives to the reality of lockdown at home was hard. Mark notes that “working successfully in an industry and then being told to stop,” was incredibly difficult. The pandemic had other plans and, “the doors closed. Mark was going to be working at the Stratford Festival and Lisa was scheduled for the Shaw Festival. At the beginning of the first lockdown in March 2020, “we were coming up on spring and summer when things really start to cook,” Lisa shares. Mark works predominantly as a lighting, audio, and video operator. On the technical side of things, Lisa mostly does wardrobe, sometimes she’s a dresser and occasionally she’ll load a show in or out. “Both of us were built to be boots on the ground, we’re workers,” Lisa shares. While both Mark and Lisa have worked in managerial roles, they enjoy the hands-on nature of practical work best. Since then their work takes them all over the region. The couple decided Hamilton was the best middle ground between theatre gigs across southern Ontario and moved to the city in 2006. “He was the production manager,” Lisa says, “ took about a year and a half, we got married and it’s been twenty years!” They hosted their wedding in the theatre between one show being loaded out and the next show being loaded in. Mark and Lisa met each other in the nineties at Theatre Passe Muraille in Toronto while on the job. I’ve been working our small farm since the age of 11 or so, when I got my first goat, Daisy. The herd they joined is also disease tested and CL Abscess free, and is an ADGA plus herd. I am hoping to have a rental farm house that allows me to have my goats on my own farm in the next year or two. Brazen, a 2021 Red x Legacy AI kid, managed to break her pastern in the trip or shortly after, so she gets to wear a splint – but otherwise the move was relatively smooth!Ģ018 UPDATE – my goats have joined my friends dairy herd, Quarter-Mile, in Hudson, MI! My father (who was doing the bulk of the work) is sick of milking 2x per day every day, and I currently rent a town home in the city I work in, so cannot have the goats here. The whole herd – 8 does in milk, 1 dry/due in May doe, (1) 14yo pet wether Tux (yes, he’s still around!), and 7 babies from 2021 made the trip. My fiance and I have purchased 10 acres with 2 barns and a farm house for us to start our new adventures. For more information about our biosecurity protocols and past test results, please see the Biosecuritypage!Ģ021 update– On 4/22/21 the herd moved out of where they were crashing at Quarter-Mile Farm in Hudson and into their new digs in Six Lakes, MI. Often and whenever possible, the initial test is prior to animals ever setting foot on the property if they are over 6 mon at time of purchase. In the rare cases we purchase animals, they undergo a 90 day isolation period, during which they are tested TWICE for CL, CAE, and Johnes – once at the beginning and once at the end of the biosecurity period. We have also never had a positive CL test. Unfortunately the blood test is not terribly accurate or reliable so we do not routinely run it on the base herd. We also did originally start out whole herd blood testing for CL for many years, and still utilize it on purchased animals, twice pre and post biosecurity isolation period. Our herd is also CL abscess free. The few random non-CL abscesses we have had through the many years of goat raising have always been very non-classic for CL (not correct locations) AND were cultured (gold standard testing method) and have always been negative. In April 2022, we also are entire herd NEGATIVE for TB and Brucellosis. We generally test yearly in the fall/winter, pre-kidding. We maintain a CAE and Johnes NEGATIVE herd AND we are a CL abscess free herd. When he announced that people need to eat his flesh and drink his blood to have eternal life, most of his followers couldn’t take this and left him forever (John 6:53-58). It should be remembered that Jesus himself when he walked the earth caused tremendous confusion. In Christian history, Catholics were even accused by Roman citizens of being cannibals, because it was thought that Catholics ate and drank the flesh and blood of a dead man. The implication was that the Mass is a load of pretend nonsense. I recall reading one section in an extremely famous popular science book, where it was implied that the Catholic Mass is just a bunch of hocus pocus. Then there are hardline atheists, who often view the Mass as nothing more than an ‘opium for the masses’ something employed by Church authorities to control people. It’s a great mystery to them, and seemingly pointless given that God can be approached directly via prayer. People of other religious traditions, such as Jews and Muslims, don’t tend to understand what Catholics believe about Catholic Mass. They cannot accept it because the Scriptures clearly teach that Jesus died only once (this is emphasised in the letter to the Hebrews). Many non-Catholic Christians think of the Catholic Mass as a re-sacrifice of Jesus. There is a great deal of confusion today about the Catholic Mass. Hello Rosary lovers! In this post we will ask: What is Catholic Mass? The Mass causes terrible confusion The hero likes to swear, is ready to kill without hesitation and has many one-liners ripped straight from other games/movies of that era, and of course, the music is heavy metal, which fits well with the theme of the game. The visuals are old school, given a stylised CRT monitor look by bending the image every so slightly on the screen. This is going for the 90s sci-fi feel and look. The player is an alone marine who has to make an emergency landing on one of the moons of Jupiter, where he finds out everyone is dead, so must make his way through the legions of zombie humans, beasts and demonic forces to escape what is essential hell on Jupiter…get it? Yeah, okay, so it is not the most imaginative name, but it is straight to the point, just like the game itself. The game keeps it simple and straight to the point to set up the themes of the game through a flashy animated cutscene. Jupiter Hell is looked upon as a spiritual successor to DRL, starting life on Kickstarter back in November 2016, then jumping to Steam Early Access in 2018, and now releasing version 1.0 in August 2021.Īs with Doom, Jupiter Hell skips any notion when it comes to story. DRL took the themes of Doom and Doom II and morphed, as the title suggests, into a roguelike. The developer, ChaosForge, initially created a fan-made game called Doom, the Roguelike, shorten to DRL after a cease and desist notice was sent to the developer by ZeniMax Media to stop using the Doom name. This is because there is some history behind the birth of Jupiter Hell. Jupiter Hell is going to have to do a lot of ripping and tearing to get through the noise of the competition to show the audience why it should be played this year – hint: it should.ĭoom fans might have noticed that little nod to id Software‘s first-person shooter in the opening paragraph. It easily takes the gold medal – searching for the tag on Steam brings back over 3,000 titles, so fans of those games have plenty of options to pick from. That win surely belongs to the roguelike. Having handled a lot of Trailer Attacks on the site, I feel I should correct myself and apologise to the battle royale genre because clearly that is no longer the leader in been overused. I remember when I was covering a battle royale game last year called Spellbreak, a rather good one I might add, and in that opening paragraph, I mentioned how the Buzz Lightyear meme of “ X, X Everywhere” was so appropriate to that genre.
