![]() In many cases, Green noted that geniuses would focus on their busywork when they were having less productive moments in their genius work. Geniuses tended to separate out the day between their most important work, which might have been writing or experimenting or other genius like activity, and other work, which may have been tasks such as answering letters or other more mundane tasks that still needed to be completed. Separation of busy work and important work Meanwhile Ernest Hemingway did not so much set goals but tracked progress in terms of words. In fact, Trollope is said to have only worked for just three hours a day, but in that time he would churn out 250 words every 15 minutes. In the case of writers this is particularly noticeable with both Anthony Trollope and Ernest Hemingway setting themselves word counts of numbers of words that they needed to write each day. Geniuses, argue Green, will commonly set themselves goals that they focus on every day. The daily routines of geniuses: 7 traits 3. Beethoven is also purported to have enjoyed an after lunch walk, on which he took pencil and paper to jot down notes of his inspirational thoughts along the way. Looking again at authors, Green points out that Charles Dickens swore by three hour walks every day, while Tchaikovskyneeded a little less, getting by with just two hours of daily walking. This allowed them to really focus on what they needed to do and to write outstanding works of fiction that we continue to enjoy today. Jane Austin and Mark Twain both had quite different techniques to avoid being disturbed, but nonetheless they both had these tactics in place. Geniuses know that they need a workplace where they can truly concentrate on what they are doing without disturbance. There are seven recommendations in total: 1. From this she was able to develop a list of recommendations for people that want to work like geniuses do. In doing this she ruled out those that focused on drugs and alcohol to fuel their success and focused on those with discipline. “I began to notice several common elements in the lives of the healthier geniuses that allowed them to pursue the luxury of a productivity enhancing routine”. ![]() As Green read, she understood that routines were critical to the success of these exceptional individuals. As Green explains, the book looks at the daily activities of more than 150 different composers, writers and artists, in addition to scientists, philosophers and other renowned thinkers. Sarah Green (2014) was inspired by the book of Mason Curry, “ Daily Rituals: How Artists Work”. Rather, they are essential in the process of getting stuff done. Every wondered how a genius gets through life? How do geniuses do it? How did Einstein put together the theory of relativity? What were the things that he did to get to the point that he was able to crank out such wisdom and share it with the world? Well, according to Sarah Green (2014) of the Harvard Business Review, they have routines, and in fact these routines are not nice to have luxuries. ![]()

![]() Update some Windows SDK files ( forum discussion).First install all the software listed on the comprehensive ZDoom Wiki page.When compiling GZDoom on Windows 7 64-bit I had to perform the following steps: If you’re serious about making a standalone game, you might want to make some tweaks to the engine itself. Success! GZDoom is loading our IWAD Some notes on compiling Add the following lines to the top of the iwadinfo.txt You need to extract the pk3 contents first and then compress it back after editing. Then we’ll add the following entry to the iwadinfo.txt in gzdoom.pk3. So the game directory will look like this gzdoom.exe Even though the palette file is just a placeholder GZDoom will start up fine. So first we will create a new directory and place three empty files called PLAYPAL, COLORMAP and THEGAME to the directory. We will create a tiny (and useless) game archive file, and modify iwadinfo.txt to allow us to use it as a standalone game. In order for the GZDoom to “boot” into your IWAD it needs to have at least the following files You can also simply name your game archive as DOOM2.WAD and let the engine think your game is Doom 2 :) By default ZDoom and its derivatives need you to specify an IWAD, but you can circumvent this by modifying the iwadinfo.txt file in the bundled gzdoom.pk3 archive. If you want to release your mod to the world as a standalone game, you can bundle the GZDoom engine with your PK3 file. If you want custom textures with composite elements or scaling, you need to add them to your mod’s TEXTURES file. We notice that the name of the texture we want to change is FLOOR4_8 So first fire up XWE and load DOOM.WAD to inspect the original contents of the level. So say we want to replace that ugly hangar floor from Doom E1M1 (the first level of the first episode that is) with something more civilized. If you want to replace a game sprite or a piece of a composite texture (i.e. a button on the wall) you need to place the graphics to the respective sprites/ and patches/ subdirectories. With GZDoom you don’t have to worry about it though, since you can throw all your replacements to the textures/ directory. In the Doom engine wall and floor textures were not stored the same way, so for historical reasons the ingame textures were separated in floors and patches (wall textures). You can also tell the engine just to load the files from a directory by using a directory path as an argument instead. To start the game with your modifications you can compress the mod directory to a zip (or PK3) file and use the -file commandline switch with the mod archive as an argument. You don’t need to use all the bundled build scripts though. There’s also a handy ZDoom Mod Template available. In order for the engine to use your archive it needs to have the following directories (for in-depth explanation see the PK3 wiki page) patches/ To make a mod you need to create a custom PK3 archive with all your modified game assets inside, and tell the GZDoom engine to load your file on startup. A PK3 is nothing but a zip archive with a different file extension. A WAD file has no file hierarchy, and you need a special program to manipulate such packages, so you’re better off using a PK3 archive instead. In original Doom all art assets and other game data were contained in a WAD file. The shareware version ( DOOM1.WAD) will not suffice. In this guide we’ll be using DOOM.WAD from the full version of Doom 1. When compared to a modern game engine (UE 3, Source) these features don’t sound so promising, but you have to keep in mind these are addons to a 20 years old game :) Support for real 3d-models (MD2 and MD3 formats).ACS scripting support (even though the language is pretty primitive).In particular, these features caught my attention: There are also other alternatives available, but the GZDoom engine has an impressive featureset, and the community seems to be pretty active too. We’ll be using a modern source port, and in this case it means GZDoom. Making a mod instead of a full game from scratch gives you a head start for development work since you can use a premade engine, and possibly some art assets too. I thought it would be nice to document my findings. I was interested in making a GZDoom total conversion, but I couldn’t find any simple overview in what goes in a mod. A quick look at how to develop a simple Doom mod on the GZDoom engine and some tips on how to convert it to a standalone game. ![]() ![]() ![]() I don't want to see posts from 27 hours ago mixed in with posts 10 seconds ago.

Also, if you somehow have an older version, the bridges probably won't work with that either.Įdit: I went through all the levels and modified some slightly. I doubt that this game will ever get updated again, but if it does, most of the bridges probably won't work. If that's the case, let me know which level that is.Īlso, this is for version 1.0.7 of the game, the most recent version. That's probably because I forgot to save it and it resorted to an autosave.

Poly Bridge 2 is a Puzzle game developed by Dry Cactus that can be played on PC (Steam), Mac, and Windows. ![]() If the save doesn't work after like 10 reloads, it's possible that the game is throwing a tantrum and refuses to take the solution, so turn on stress visibility (T by default) to see what's breaking and adjust it slightly with the grid off (G by default).Īlso, there may be one or two levels where the solution is no where near correct. Poly Bridge 2 was the number 1468 PC game in July 2023, based on the number of monthly active users or players.

Then, close the game and sort the savefiles folder by "date modified" to see what that level's folder is called.

If you look closely, Eiden looks towards one point and Ann looks in the total opposite direction, representing indicision to the human eye. To capture the hesitation that the characters feel when it comes to taking their direction, I get help from their body language. These vertical lines of the trees get larger and give way to the panel just below. On the third panel, you can see how Ann and Eiden move away from the first point. I reinforce the eye movement towards the frame below with the panel frame. Unconsciously, the reader knows that they are on the run, or that they are in trouble, since the narrative does not flow the same direction. In this one, our protagonists, Ann and Eiden, are moving away from that previous point, changing the characters’ sense of direction. This is essential, as it leads the reader’s eye to the next panel. In the first panel there is this creature that will cause our main characters trouble, a Shadow (as they are called in the manga) steps into a room from right to left, in line with the reading direction. ![]() ![]() In terms of the visual narrative, I have used certain elements to make the reader's view focus directly on the subject that interests me as a creator: ![]() ![]() ![]() This used to be hard to do before but the latest Android Studio made it easier to now use C/C++ or generate.
