Author has written 6 stories for Harry Potter.
My name is Charli.
22-year-old who is hopelessly obsessed with Harry Potter.
I don't care what it says in cannon I still think Harry and Severus were made for each other.
Just so I don't have to type it over and over again...
Disclaimer! I do not own Harry Potter (though I wish I did) or anything/anyone else that is a part of J.K. Rowling's Potterverse. (a girl can dream) I am NOT making any money of of this. I write solely for my personal enjoyment. (and hopefully the enjoyment of those who read my stories) Do not sue me. I have nothing of value except for a mask from the Carnival in Venice, Italy, and a tempermental, beat up, mud covered truck with a busted tail light that needs a new muffler

For me, crazy is a loose term. Crazy is when you stare at a pencil and laugh when someone asks you what you are doing that is so interesting about the eraser. Crazy is when you have an hour-long sob fest, and then start singing and dancing when your favorite song comes on. Crazy is when you do or say a completely random thing, like "Do you ever wonder where the eraser bits go?" or having a thumbwar with yourself. Crazy is when you type up all your favorite sayings, print them off and tape them to your wall, just for something to do. Crazy is when you memorize the complete biographies and physical traits of every character in Twilight (or almost, at least). Crazy is when you laugh for no reason at all. Crazy is when your eating cereal, and you put the cereal in the fridge, and the milk in the pantry... Crazy is when you love Twilight/ New Moon/Eclipse so much you literally go to EVERY website Google, Yahoo and AskJeeves has given you when you type 'Twilight' in the search box.Crazy is when you are watching a pokemon movie and are crying then start laughing and then start crying again Crazy is when you are so obsessed with something that they have to threaten to send you to an insane asylum, then you go through withdrawal symptoms. Crazy is when you are so in love with fanfiction that if no-one reminded you, you'd forget to eat. Crazy is when you set up an account at fanfiction because you want to write, and then forget all about it because you get so caught up reading others' stories.

Can you not have high-poly objects for rendering and lower-poly physics spheres if the physics geometry is what is driving your "stickiness"...?
Posted by GuyWithBeard
on 15 June 2016 - 03:12 PM
I made a little progress.
In my system horizontal merging is a lot more important than vertical because the visibility system is essentially 2D. Every object has an upper and a lower bound so they can be included/excluded in the visibility calculations as the observer moves up and down, but the construction of the line-of-sight geometry is all done in the X-Z-plane (Y is up in my engine).
So I came up with this algorithm (dunno if this is an established way of doing things, but it is working fine for me):
Using this technique I managed to nicely merge most of the geometry in my test level. Check out the picture below:
The colored boxes represent box objects. The colors are selected from a list of a few colors and sometimes the same color appears on adjacent objects. From the image you can see that the algoritm works with both world space axis aligned objects as well as rotated ones. You can also see (on the wall of boxes in the lower left corner) that the algorithm does not merge objects vertically.
In the test level above the number of objects decreased from 266 to 45.

Also, it's not really good forum etiquette to remove your questions and replace them with "[solved]". That way no-one else can benefit from the question and answer later on. When your issue is solved, reply to the thread letting other people know what the problem was. Then try to learn from the experience.

Well they are hardly squares since we are talking about a 3D environment here. Anyway, the voxels produced by Recast should be exactly what you need.
If you cannot figure out where the generation is then you haven't looked very thoroughly at the code (in the file that I suggested earlier).
The complete navmesh generation is in Sample_SoloMesh::handleBuild(), but you don't necessarily need to do all steps 1-7. Step 2 is concerned with creating the voxel height field. Search for duDebugDrawHeightfieldSolid() to see how the demo app draws the voxels.
Posted by GuyWithBeard
on 12 March 2016 - 12:44 PM
Not exactly sure what you mean by squares, but Recast does indeed generate a voxel mold out of the geometry as a intermediate step when generating a nav mesh. I haven't used the voxel mold directly but I don't see why that wouldn't be possible. Try out the recast demo with some of your geometry to see if the results look like something you could use. The demo app can draw the voxels for you.
What exactly don't you understand about the generation phase? The samples that come with Recast are very well documented. Check out Sample_SoloMesh for example.

This tool works fairly well:
It does not allow you to mess with the loopback interface though, so you basically have to have two boxes (or two physical network interfaces). Some people build this sort of thing right into their network layer. That way you don't need any separate software at all.
EDIT: I almost forgot. There is this thing as well: https://github.com/jagt/clumsy I have not used it though.

2D voxel? Wouldn't that just be a pixel?

You can certainly do this. The rendering API has no idea where the data originally came from (model file, network stream or even defined at runtime).
You just need a way to define each vertex (a vertex buffer) and some way to define the ordering the vertices into triangles (an index buffer) and fill those with the data you want. For texturing, just make sure your vertices have UV coordinates and set the texture you want to use. The exact details of this depend on the engine/framework you are using and on the shaders used.
In theory you could even generate the data on the GPU completely using eg. the geometry shader, but lets' not go there. My point is just that the CPU does not even need to know about your meshes.

I have a similar system set up. I use fastdelegates for hooking up executable functions to console commands (you can just as easily use std::functions if you want). A very simple system would look like:
typedef FastDelegate0<void> CommandCallback;
void registerCommand(const std::string& commandName, const CommandCallback& cbck)
// Add to map here...
std::map<std::string, CommandCallback> mRegisteredCommands;
After parsing a command you just look up the correct callback in the mRegisteredCommands map and execute it. You can even support passing arguments to the callbacks. If you use fastdelegates you can save all mementos to the same map regardless of the number and types of arguments. You just need a way to recreate the proper callback before doing the actual call.
Another way (and the way I am doing it) is have all registered functions be FastDelegate0<void>:s, ie. parameterless functions, but allowing (and indeed requiring) the functions that are registered with arguments to pop them off a temp storage stack that is filled by the console during the command parsing phase.

I do something similar to Daixiwen. If you want the gizmo to remain the same size onscreen with a perspective camera you can use the following code to set the scale:
const float gizmoSize = 0.2f;
float scale = gizmoSize * ((camPos - gizmoPos).length() / tanf(cam->getFovY() / 2.0f));
You probably want to clamp the scale between some values that make sense for you. The gizmoSize depends on how large the gizmo mesh is, how large you want it to be etc.

Since you want to create you own 3D engine I am going to recommend Frank Luna's Introduction to 3D Game Programming with DirectX11. Awesome book:
It assumes you have a farily good understanding of C++ but nothing too advanced. It also teaches you a fair bit of 3D math that is the same regardless of API, language of platform.

You should never use the term "dev kit" to refer to anything but specialized hardware and related development tools
Well, Wikipedia says the following about SDKs: "A software development kit (SDK or "devkit") is typically a set of software development tools that allows the creation of applications for a certain software package, software framework, hardware platform, computer system, video game console, operating system, or similar development platform." I don't agree that devkit necessarily means hardware.
Anyway, that's beside the point. Like Nypyren said, sounds like you are better off using an API such as winforms (or wpf) for what you have in mind. The database connection is easy enough with an ADO.net connector and you can still hook into the GPU if you want to use the hardware for bitmap manipulation with something like SharpDX. As for rendering, in my level editor I am drawing using DirectX into a winforms panel and it works like a charm. It can then obviously be used like any other winforms control.
Hope that helps.

These are my 2 archery kills from last year with the hypodermics
Ttt keep em comin
Looking for a lime green hoyt custom ID kit for my carbon spyder!
Perfect! Absolutely Perfect!
There awesome and alot more durable than original rage broadheads
Thats awesome can I see it with black instead of white in the background?
Last season I made the switch to Rage hypodermic 2 blade and I must say these broadheads are absolutely wicked when it comes to blood trails. I was able to harvest 2 does last season and both went...
yea i seen those on the website but no where to order them lol
was wondering if you can take this and put a black background instead of white, with a lime green spider web and the writing and spider logo outlined in lime green
Or anything with Lime Green, Spider, Spider webs, or lime green plasma flames?
Melissa can I see the bottom one in Lime Green with a spider instead of head?
Where can you find the hoyt accessories in lime green for sale? Can someone please post a link up to them it'd be greatly appreciated. Also wanting some opinions on what you guys think is the best...

Maybe Nastia Will Get Another Gold After All. Doubt It, But, Still.
At this very moment, Nastia Liukin's on her way to Dallas-Fort Worth International Airport for a 4:15 p.m. press conference -- where, no doubt, the Parker-living, Plano-training Olympian will be asked about stories circulating today concerning the age of Chinese gymnast He Kexin, who controversially outscored Liukin to take gold in the uneven bars earlier this week.
Long before the Olympics, there were concerns that He and Jiang Yuyuan were younger than 16, the minimum age for Olympic eligibility since 1997, as The New York Times noted in July. But no one had the goods proving they were underage -- that is, till a security consultant named Mike Walker did some digging and uncovered documents he says prove He is only 14 -- which would mean she'd have to forfeit her medals. And that would mean Liukin's silver turns to gold. Sure, like that'll happen: The Associated Press more or less reported the same thing earlier this month, and the International Olympics Committee didn't really seem to care. --Robert Wilonsky

Apple announces 128GB fourth-gen iPad
Confirming reports, Apple has officially announced that a 128GB version of the fourth-generation iPad with Retina display will go on sale Tuesday, Feb. 5, in black or white. The Wi-Fi model will cost $799, and the Wi-Fi + Cellular model will cost $929. Apple is pitching the higher-capacity iPad primarily to "enterprises, educators and artists," suggesting that its capacity will be useful for "over 300,000 native iPad apps." This appears to be an acknowledgement that the iPad is becoming a viable alternative to laptops, and will be offered in capacities rivaling them.

How in the world can you claim that a mere 128 GB of storage rivals a laptop given that many entry-level laptops these days have nearly ten times that?
Posted by Steve on January 29, 2013 at 1:33 PM (CST)
It should have been released a year after they released iPods and iPads with a 64GB memory capacity. That kind of memory was available back then FOR A REASONABLE PRICE. Instead, we had Apple trying to tell us that we didn't need that much memory and that 64GB was good enough for another few years. I always said they should just keep their opinions to themselves, shut up, and make 128GB iPod and iPad whether they felt we needed it or not.

Brian was very confident about our house even though we listed late in the year. we went through 3 holidays and still had a lot of showings. His suggestions about how to show the home were very helpful. After the sale was pending Brian's negotiation skills came into play to help close the sale. We couldn't have had a BETTER REPRESENTATIVE than Brian.by Andrew Dobrovic
Brian and his team were simply amazing (just can't say it enough). His knowledge of my area was exceptionally strong and he worked hard to ensure the value of my home was appropriately recognized. The process of selling a home was new to me, but The Salem Team's approach was incredibly organized, very detailed, and offered a level of support throughout that was second to none. They are a very professional and attentive realty team, and more importantly - they are honest, straightforward and carry integrity in everything they do (which is so appreciated because there are many out there that just don't do this). I would recommend The Salem Team to anyone and everyone looking to buy or sell a home - they're outstanding and you will not be disappointed!by Holly Pelaia
I really enjoyed working with Brian and Laura. They were both very helpful and knew a ton about the local market. They both bent over backwards to work around our schedule and provided open and honest feedback when it came to purchasing our home. I can't think of anyone else I'd rather work with in the future.by mlray
I knew Brian from a few years previous and when it came time to purchase a home he was the first person I called. Brian's professionalism, knowledge, and responsiveness made the whole purchase process simple. This was my first home purchase and he took the time to explain the whole process, listen to my needs, and show me properties that I wanted to see. Brain was able to recommend an excellent mortgage representative and truly made the process simple and easy from start to finish. I feel confident in saying that Brian is one of the best out. I would encourage anyone looking to sell or purchase a home to call the Salem Team.by Patrick Moran

Rep. Ed Pastor to retire after current term
PHOENIX — A longtime Arizona politician will soon call it a career: Rep. Ed Pastor said in a Thursday email that he would retire at the end of his term.
"I've been in public office for 39 years and it's been a pleasure to serve the people of Arizona," Pastor said in the email. "After 23 in Congress, I feel it's time for me to seek out a new endeavor. It's been a great honor, a great experience and a great joy for me to serve in Congress. I think it's time for me to do something else."
His retirement will be effective in 2014.
Pastor was the first Hispanic person from Arizona to be selected to Congress. He was first elected in 1991 and has served a total of 12 terms under four different presidents.
Prior to serving in Congress, Pastor was the Maricopa County Supervisor from 1976 to 1991.

How is it that questions posted to the Stack Overflow show up as #1 in Google search results just minutes after being submitted? What SEO practices are being used to generate this sort of up-to-the-minute accuracy?
Sites with high PR and are frequently updated will have their sites crawled more quickly then normal. So it's not a technique, per sé, so much as it is a result of the site being popular and constantly changing.
First of all pigeons think very highly of the Stack Overflow. But according to Jeff's post it's not all rose pedals for them.This is an example of some thing they did to do better at Google.
But seriously go lookup pageranking, site indexing and be more specific about what's wrong, or where you would like to improve.
Stack Overflow and other Stack Exchange websites are favored by Google and other search engines because of the following:
Due to this, and the amount of new information appearing on Stack Exchange every moment, Google indexes Stack Overflow at 10 times per second — which means that any changes or new posts are picked up very soon.
I've done a LOT of experimenting with Google rankings. I know I posted a question to one of the stack exchanges sites and was surprised that the question hit my Google Alerts (http://www.google.com/alerts) withing 24 hours.
Google always ranks Wikipedia and Stack Overflow really highly. I believe there are two reasons for this.
1) Neither of these two sites "sell" anything. They are informational. Google knows that any Wikipedia page has no hidden agenda. Anyone who visits one of their pages will find what they are looking for, probably more than they are looking for.
2) Both of these sites are constantly being updated and rely on content created by intelligent users who aren't selling anything. Again, 99% of answers really shed light on myriad topics.
I don't think this is PR related because my unrated blog (
IMO this is because I use a sitemap.xml + webmastertools + ping google about changes in the sitemap.
It is possible to ping Google when new content is posted. WordPress has this feature built in StackOverflow and other StackExchange sites have likely also implemented it.
WordPress uses http://pingomatic.com/ to automate the process. This article also says that Feedburner can be used for that purpose. These aggregate ping services end up pinging Google and other search engines for you. Of course you could just ping the ones that you care about yourself. Google's ping service is at: http://blogsearch.google.com/ping

The Bolton Beer Festival continues to be one of the highlights of the social calendar for all in the town, as well as a great corporate event. Funds raised support Bolton Lads & Girls Club who do a fantastic job with the youth of the town.
The Festival boasts over 200 real ales and over 50 draught lagers, bottled beers and ciders from around the world and the UK. Don't worry if you're not a beer drinker – there is a tipple for everyone from spirits and wine to soft drinks. In 2015 we saw the addition of Prosecco to the festival which was such a hit we sold out.
Over 6,000 people attend the Festival each year, and we believe it makes business sense to get involved and even more sense to come along and enjoy a fabulous night out with friends.
The Beer Festival has started so we have shut the shop.
If you wish to purchase tickets in advance still please visit the marque on Wednesday 12 – 4, Thursday 2 – 2.
Many Thanks!

The Secret Player (Paperback)Anonymous
Paperback Published: 14/08/2014
- In stock
Click & Collect From your local shop
In the vein of Hotel Babylon and Confessions of a GP, The Secret Player will fascinate footballs fans with its wealth of insider knowledge and willingness to talk, albeit anonymously, about the inner workings of the game. Based on the hugely popular 'The Player' columns in FourFourTwo magazine, the book gives a warts-and-all insight into the daily life of professional footballers. Month by month, it chronicles the oscillating rhythms of the season, from the trudge of pre-season to the 'squeaky-bum time' of promotion and relegation. The player himself has played at all levels of English football - from Premier League to a season of non-League - and represented England.

Well as it says above ^^^^ we are exgamers studios, we are an Indie game developer from Ireland and we just wanted to introduce ourselves before we try to shill our game
So a brief introduction is in order, currently they are three us on the development side, Stephen(programmer), Sean(game design), Davy(programmer). However we are also working with another Irish company Breakout Interactive to help us promote our game (more on that later I promise ), from Breakout there is Stuart and Andrew, we helped the guys by coming with a marketing plan and strategy and developed marketing campaigns for them!
Okay I think that should be of introduction for now but if you have any more questions just ask.
Okay now onto the shilling! The first game exgamers Studios release is Source Control, it is a match 3 puzzle game with more of a mental challenge!
The aim of the game is to Match four symbols in a rubix cube styled puzzle by rotating symbols left or right. Make a match in the least amount of moves possible and prevent the enemy A.I. from rebuilding its firewall! Capture enemy shields to protect your own firewall! Check out the game-play trailer here:
You can download the demo here from our site if you think the video looked cool
If you are feeling extra generous and curious you can buy the game here or you can click the get full game button in the demo and be brought to our site to purchase the full game!
We would love to hear what you think about it and get some feedback!
Just so you know we are currently making an Android version of the game as that is the first thing everyone tell us to do! We are also going to be adding in new levels and features into the Android version but its not quite ready yet
Well if you read this far thanks for taking the time and we hope you enjoyed it!

What If Money Grew on Trees: Asking the Big Questions About Economics - What If? (Hardback)David Boyle
Hardback Published: 14/10/2013
- In stock
Click & Collect From your local shop
Asking the big questions about economics. What if...? are the two words that sow the seeds for human speculation, experimentation, invention, evolution, revolution, and change. In an uncertain age, economists are asking, What if growth stopped growing?; scientists, What if light speed were overtaken?; and politicians, What if the third world became the first? What If Money Grew On Trees? challenges a team of scholars to put their minds to 50 speculations on economics, at a time when the banking system seems to be failing and the whole idea of capitalism is up for debate. Consider a world where gold is worthless, nobody makes anything, and the bulls and bears are locked out of the market, and en route accumulate the knowledge to debate the shape that our financial world might take in the future.

NSU seminar to center on SARS, bioterrorism
Published: Thursday, June 5, 2003 at 11:53 a.m.
Last Modified: Wednesday, June 4, 2003 at 11:00 p.m.
HOUMA -- Area health professionals can learn about potential bio-terrorism threats and severe acute respiratory syndrome, or SARS, at a continuing education seminar Friday in Houma.
Nicholls State University's Department of Allied Health Sciences, along with the American Lung Association and the Louisiana Society for Respiratory Care, will present the seminar at the university's Allied Health and Continuing Education Building at 235 Civic Center Blvd.
Ken Duet, head of the Nicholls State Department of Allied Health Sciences, said similar seminars are typically held twice each year to allow area health professionals to earn required continuing education credit locally.
"For those who can't attend the big conferences elsewhere, this gives them something in their own backyard," Duet said.
The seminar will cover discussions on potential bio-terrorism attacks, SARS and assessment techniques and treatment for high-risk infants.
"We try to pick hot topics," Duet said. "Come the fall, it could be something totally different."
Other topics on the event's agenda include new modes of adult mechanical ventilation, or breathing assistance.
"In the last three to five years, many ventilators have gone through advanced technical changes," Duet said. "We have the latest technology on the market for our students, but there are those professionals who don't have new technology available to them at their facilities. This will help them get up to speed on new technology."
The seminar's faculty includes Duet, Errol Champagne, assistant director of the cardiopulmonary science program at Nicholls; Mary Eschete, a Terrebonne Parish infectious disease specialist; Terry Forrette, a clinical specialist for respiratory and anesthesia services; and Thomas Lotz, executive director of the American Lung Association of Louisiana.
Respiratory therapists, athletic trainers and exercise physiologists are urged to attend.
Allied health professionals can earn six hours of accredited continuing respiratory care education credit.
Admission is $60 for American Association for Respiratory Care members, $75 for non-members and $25 for students. The fee includes conference materials, refreshments and a certificate of attendance.
For information, call 876-8855.
Matt Gresham can be reached at 857-2204 or by e-mail at firstname.lastname@example.com.

Robo-Hero Primary Schools Competition
This year the Perth Science Festival will engage Western Australian primary schools and students in a Robo-Hero, asking students to think about improving the world around them with technology!
National Science Week 2016 is celebrating the theme 'Drones Droids and Robots'. As such, the Robo-Hero Competition requires students to design and build a model robot that could be used to help their community, using their creativity and critical thinking.
For example, is there a litter problem in the student's school or suburb? Perhaps they could create a robot that would pick up rubbish! Maybe regional students need drones to check on their farm stock, or to deliver medicine from larger towns.

Photo: Auburn Basketball Team Takes Great "Dufnering" Picture With Jason Dufner
Annie Dunbar - Kentucky Campus Rep
PGA Champ Jason Dufner stopped by his alma mater, Auburn, to give some words of encouragement to the basketball team this afternoon. This isn't the first time Dufner has dropped in to give an AU team some advice – he visited the football players back in August. It is the first time, however, that we've seen Dufner take a picture in which he's the only person not "Dufnering".
