Fiction, anecdotes, and storytelling in general are at the core of human society, but any retelling of a tale is inherently different due to the nature of the human mind. And, with every new mind involved, elements get distorted to the point where the end result can be completely different from the original concept. Even if that result isn’t a downgrade, this distortion can’t be ignored. Road House, Prime Video’s latest original film and a reimagining of the Patrick Swayze-led 1989 movie of the same name, captures the…

In his 2008 sci-fi novel The Three-Body Problem, Cixin Liu created a fascinating world where cutting-edge particle physics, VR gaming, and Chinese history played crucial roles in shaping humanity’s response to an imminent planet-wide threat. It also seemed unfilmable. The depth of the book’s ideas about cultural memory and the complexity of its central mystery made The Three-Body Problem feel like a story that could only work on the page.That hasn’t stopped streamers from trying, and last year, Tencent debuted its own…

How 2D grid-based algorithms can be brought into the 3D worldCloseup of the triangular 50-neighborhood. (Image by author)In my previous two articles, A Short and Direct Walk with Pascal’s Triangle and A Quick and Clear Look at Grid-Based Visibility, we saw how easy it is to generate decent-looking travel paths and compute visible regions using grid-based algorithms. The techniques I shared in those posts can be used for video games, mobile robotics, and architectural design, though our examples were limited to two…

Samsung's focus now is on mass producing all solid state batteries (ASBs) by…

Hideo Kojima is well known for making games with grand political statement hidden not so subtely within their dialogue and cinematics. As of today, players can also enjoy one of these long, drawn-out narrative stealth games within the comfortable confines of Minecraft textures and flavor text. Metal Gear Solid 3 Snake Eater is, in my opinion, the greatest game in the Metal Gear Solid franchise. It added a manual camouflage system and on the fly medical treatments consisting of bugs, twigs, and whatever else is lying…
