Life Lessons From PUBG

PUBG. The first thing that comes in mind after listening to it is a battle-royale game. But PUBG has some connection to real life. We can learn many things from PUBG. PUBG can motivate us a lot. Below given are 20 life lessons that we can learn from PUBG:

Motivation from PUBG

1. The blue zone is just an illusion. Life never gives a second chance. If anyone goes away from this world, then the person never returns.

            We know that once we are killed, we cannot return to the game. Though how much rich we are, we should accept that we are dead and no one in this world can save us.

2. Nothing is yours in this world. After your death, the scopes, weapons, clothes etc. that you collected in your life will remain here. 

         What is the meaning of life if we don't enjoy it? There are more things to do in life than just running after something!

3. Never underestimate your enemies. You can never know who can kill you, at what time and where.

        So don't underestimate your enemies and prepare to beat them before they beat you.

4. The more resources we have, the more we survive.

       Start collecting resources and information about your enemies The more you collect, the more chances arrive that you beat them.

5. Sometimes you need others to revive yourself. So kill your ego and make your relationship stronger.

      Often people break their relations just to satisfy their ego. But relationships are far more important than our ego. Ego will make us alone in this social world.

6. It doesn't matter how strong you are. If you are not individually strong, you can lose any time.

      Teamwork is good but there will a  time when you have to fight alone. At that time if you are not individually strong, you won't live long.

7. You can never know when, how and where you can be attacked, so always be alert.

     You should be alert at all times. Enemies can attack at any moment and from anywhere. A little mistake can risk your life.

8. You have to either win or lose in your life, there is no option to run away. 

     You have to either kill the enemy or get killed. There is no option to run away. Running away proves that you are no more than a loser. 

9. Never leave your task undone or half-completed.

      Found your enemy? Just kill him or else he will kill you. Don't just let him go or he will be the cause of your death.

10. You have to kill your enemies as soon as you see them otherwise they will kill you.

      Found your enemy? Just kill him or else he will kill you. Don't just let him go or he will be the cause of your death.

11. Act or react whenever you get a chance.

     Count your actions. Act when your team needs your help. React when you find an enemy.

12. Always take calculated risks, never aim blindly.

      Take risks but don't just shoot blindly. If there is no reward for taking risks you better move away. Also, the reward should be worth the risks that you take.

13. Being in a shelter for some time will save you from enemies but to save yourself from the zone you have to get out of your comfort zone.

     Collect your weapons and equipment and just continue fighting, killing all enemies in your way. Come out of your comfort zone and achieve everything. 

14. Always try to be away from negative energy otherwise they will attack and kill you.

     Negative people will spread negativity everywhere. It is your duty to keep a distance from them. Be positive no matter what happens.

15. We should help our friends whenever they need help.

     It is also our duty to help our friends whenever they need us because if they have saved us it's our duty to pay them. 

16. Never let your enemies know your position or plans.

      Don't let your enemies know your future plans. Implement them secretly and let your success make the noise.

17. No work is completed with frustration, so try to remain cool and make quick decisions.

      Frustration and being angry is one of the reasons that you fail successively. Try to be calm and prove them wrong when you get the next chance.

18. In the last, the guy who is smartest, powerful and brave will win the chicken dinner.

        The guy who thinks smartly does proper plans and implements them correctly gets to taste the chicken dinner.

19. There is always one winner.

       You have to become that winner in order to taste chicken dinner. You have to defeat them all and become first.

20. Never depend on someone in your life. Follow your passion and show your talent to everyone in this world.

      Never depend on your friends/ family. Be independent, be strong, be unique and the world is yours.

So next time you play the game, think about it and motivate yourself. PUBG is not only a game but a motivational tool. Learn these life lessons from PUBG.

                       What motivation have you learned from PUBG? Comment us below as we are very curious to know it. 

RPG Party Pre-plans For Speeding Up Play

Game masters (GMs) many times ask for a marching order or character position. Other times there are questions about who is doing what action. In many situations, this is because of an immediate activity that no one could foresee. (It is also a great tool for GMs to use to bring a group of players' attention back to the table.) Knowing some of this information before a game even begins can also be helpful.

Many adventures have repeat situations that can be sped through easier with some pre-adventure planning by both the GM and the rest of the players. Here is a simple process of getting more out of the time you have at the table

Marching order for 10 foot wide hall

The Process

Identify the possible settings

The GM identifies activities that are going to be repeated regularly during the adventure. A good example of this is opening a door or chest in a dungeon crawl. There could be only a few or many more. It really depends on the adventure and the genre of the game. This can be used for a single gaming session or for setting up during multiple sessions.

Players can also identify regular events they deal with. Before we start playing, many times we'll determine if we should have a marching order or who takes which watches when camping in the outdoors. In one campaign we had a room in the dungeon we would return to for our camp and created a separate map for that location we could refer back to.

Determine character positions

Where are the characters is a regular question of many GMs? The number of times this question gets asked can be reduced with planning out recurring events. Simple ones like marching order can be made and referred to.

You can make them applicable for general activities that will be reoccurring. When doing a dungeon crawl you can build a simple map of marching order for different widths of halls. In the room we used for sleeping in the dungeon, we placed markers where everyone would be sleeping when not on watch and where the character on watch was located.

Determine character actions

Marching order 5 foot wide hall

Another item of play that can take a lot of time is repeating what characters do for similar activities. This can be used for several different scenarios that come up multiple times in a game.

One activity that gets repeated a lot that can be planned to allow quicker play is what the party does when encountering a closed door. We like to determine who has the best skills for each activity, i.e., finding traps, hearing noise, picking locks. Then we give the GM a plan for the order of activity and how the party is positioned during these events.

Allow flexibility

As the GM or as players, be ready to make adjustments to the plans. I don't think this should be done after a plan is put into action during an event, but the party and GM should work together to allow for changes based on changes taking place during play before the event is identified.

For example, the party is on a dungeon crawl and has just left a major combat that has left some of the members hurt and spell resources have been used. Before moving onto the next door, the party decides to reposition the fighter to keep her safe. Or flip it around, coming out of a heated battle the wizard still has a protection spell active and so he moves to the point position on the next door because of the added protection.

Position when opening door

Tell the story

This can be an advantage for the GM and the players.

During the adventure the party approaches a situation that has a planned action. The GM doesn't have to wait for the players to say what they are doing, or in what order. They can tell the story.

The party notices a door ahead on the left side of the hall and move forward into position. Gunther listens and doesn't hear anything and steps away from the door and Andria checks it. She doesn't find any traps, but the door is locked so she takes a moment to pick it. After she moves back, Zinther opens the door and sees two ogres turning and standing up from a table where they were eating. Roll for initiative.

Location around campfire

The concept of creating these plans is not to force the player characters into certain actions, but to allow for the repetitive events to be dealt with quickly. The same scenario above could have been; after opening the door you find a room that looks like a small dining area. The party does a quick search of the room and finds nothing. You leave and move down the hall to the next door on the right.

I also allow players to interrupt to ask for more information, or I'll give something extra to heighten the suspense of the storytelling.

Remember, no matter how you play your game it isn't wrong. It's your game. Use what works for you and your group. The object is to have fun.

The Joy Of Animation: An Undergraduate 2D Computer Animation Syllabus

From https://github.com/genekogan/FlockingBoids

I'm exploring the idea of teaching a new, mid-level course on animation in the Williams College Computer Science department. I was pleasantly surprised by just how excited my students were about animation topics in other computational graphics courses, and think it could stand alone.



There's an opportunity to introduce the field of animation earlier in the curriculum and with more depth than permitted by a few weeks in a high-level course. This class would require only multivariable calculus plus two semesters of programming courses. It would thus be available to sophomores and non-CS majors. That allows a close encounter with simulation algorithms for, say, a future chemist, biologist, economist, or social scientist. It also would allow a potential CS major to experience elective material before committing to the program.

In some contexts, "animation" means 2D cel movies, Pixar-style CGI movies, animated GIF, or sprite frames. In this course, I'm instead referring to "computational dynamics" or "classical physics simulation": numerical simulation of the classical mechanics methods of Newton, Boyle, Hooke, Venturi, Pascal, Stokes, etc. that are employed in scientific simulations, movies, and video games.

At a high level, this course combines the "Motion" chapter of Computer Graphics: Principles and Practice 3rd Edition with the Optimal Animation, Synthetic Creatures, and Unconventional Animation units from CS372: Visual Media Revolution...in 2D. This is all material that has worked well in previous courses for me when covered quickly, and now would have an opportunity to expand to its natural scope.

2D

Why 2D? It seems anachronistic when the high-impact animation work in research and industry is 3D. However, the computational demands of 3D are high and the mathematics of 3D rotation are fairly complex. By simplifying to 2D these can be avoided, focusing on the concepts unique to simulation instead of optimization or 3D math. Fortunately, most of the key numerical concepts are the same from 2D to 3D dynamics, but with fewer cases to handle. This includes collision detection and integrators.

The rendering and user interface are also much simpler in 2D, and I want this course to benefit from that simplicity...we have plenty of other courses on those topics.

Finally, many people find 3D rotation dynamics counter-intuitive. This makes debugging really hard. Now, there's beautiful and important math behind that--for an upper-level course. Mid-level students excited about arcade games and web animations aren't ready for quaternions and inertia tensors, and I want to use their excitement to increase their skills to the point where they'll be ready for 3D in another course.

Even physics majors can graduate without ever learning how to compute 3D rotation dynamics for classical mechanics, so I don't see that as a requirement for sophomores in a non-major CS course!

Y = Up

As any graphics programmer knows, there's one seemingly trivial choice in 2D that comes back to cause problems throughout development. Does the y-axis (vertical) increase downward, as in windowing systems, image editing programs, and text coordinates, or upward as is conventional in graphs and 3D systems?

For 2D game programming I've usually chosen downward to reduce opportunities for bugs when working with mouse and touch events and so that pixel coordinates picked out in Photoshop match what the renderer is outputting. This also makes the axes textures (image sprites) being read match the output being written. However, this creates opportunities for error in direction of rotation, trigonometry (cos, sin) and vector cross products.

I think that for simulation it is more important to avoid the latter confusion, so y = up is my choice for this course and I'll have to adapt the underlying 2D platform's coordinate system.

Mathematics

Computational dynamics applies mathematics in a way that builds intuition for abstract concepts, such as vector bases and differential equations. It also introduces fundamental numerical algorithms that underly all applications in scientific and economic simulation. A simulation course is a good way to solidify and expand existing mathematics knowledge and tie it to discrete computation.

What is the right level of math to require for incoming students? It would be possible to learn/teach dynamics without calculus. However, the equations would be more complicated and obscure their fundamental structure...and you'd end up reinventing calculus along the way, regardless.

It would be really easy to teach dynamics to students who have already mastered of linear algebra, differential equations, and Newtonian mechanics. However, the only undergraduates with such knowledge are junior and senior mathematics majors.

Typical equations encountered in dynamics algorithms. While the compact notation may be intimidating at first, the key mathematical tools are just integrals and derivatives in 2D spaces.

Multivariable calculus seems like the right prerequisite for an animation course. 60% of all students at Williams College take multivariable (Math 150/151), and almost all science majors. Limiting the math prerequisite keeps the course accessible to many students while ensuring that everyone who enrolls is already comfortable with 2D spaces and time varying quantities. The linear algebra required for 2D animation (essentially, vector operations and working with matrices up to rank 4, for splines) can be learned piecemeal as the course progresses, and differential equations can be alluded to without explicit discussion. I assume that many students exited their calculus courses without perfect recall and understanding, so I'd review (or introduce) some topics early in the course at their first application:

• Taylor polynomials
• Derivation of the derivative
• Derivation of the Riemann integral
• Definite vs. indefinite integrals
• Independent and dependent variables; the chain rule
• First fundamental theorem of calculus
• Area vs. line integrals
• Partial derivatives
• L'Hopital's rule
• Gradient and divergence

Development Platform

I want assignments to produce attractive, real-time, interactive results that can be easily shared. This makes them enjoyable and intuitive to develop and makes the course self-advocating to future students.

The Box2D Example in codeheart.js

For programming lightweight animation assignments, I lean towards Javascript, with a rendering and user input framework based on either three.js or codeheart.js. The ideal framework might be a WebGL back end for codeheart.js to combine performance and an easy-to-use 2D API.

Javascript is a good graphics prototyping tool. It is accessible, since every student computing platform has a JS and WebGL-enabled browser, from Windows/Mac desktop to mobile to Linux. So, everyone can access it and can easily show results on like.

Javascript is interpreted, avoiding the development overhead of compilation and linking. Browsers provide an inspection console, debuggers, and profilers. It has a fairly sparse syntax and lots of useful libraries, including a nice Box2D implementation. Javascript's weaknesses on data (no file system, no easy way to embed files) and systems programming (no operator overloading, static typing, or language-level import) are less limiting for small, procedural animations than for other assignments.

Most of our students are currently facile in Java and can learn Python quickly. Unfortunately, Java's an awkward language for lightweight animation because it is buried in boilerplate syntax, binds awkwardly to graphics APIs, and is increasingly unsupported on the web.

Python has a relatively beautiful syntax and even offers operator overloading. Unfortunately, its graphics and physics API libraries are even more limited than Java's, and the web is largely unavailable to it. In the long run, I hope to see a stable and well-supported Python to asm.js compilation path emerge, and nice WebGL and Box2D bindings for it. For those interested in using Python for an animation course, I suspect that using the PyGame framework for handling graphics and UI. Some simple physics examples are available using it.

C++ and OpenGL or Vulkan is probably not a viable combination for a 200-level course at my institution, given the students' lack of experience working at such a low level or with such powerful (and thus "dangerous") tools.

I could imagine using Processing. However, my hunches are that the cross-language compilation step would confuse students when writing more complex simulations (it has in the past when I used it for game programming) and that I'm going to want direct access to GPU pixel shaders for fluid simulation.

P_malin's Shader Rally

It is worth noting that for experienced hackers, it is possible to prototype many animation algorithms in Shadertoy. For example, shallow water simulation, Navier-Stokes fluid, SPH fluid, 2D rigid bodies, and 3D rigid bodies. Although I'm a big fan and these are great motivating examples, Shadertoy isn't a natural or friendly programming environment for new programmers (let alone those who don't understand real-time ray tracing), so I haven't seriously considered it as a course platform.

Topics

Below I list some topics in a cumulative order, where the later ones build on ideas developed earlier. The list contains about twice as much content as I'd be able to cover with projects in a 12-week semester. So, I'd likely describe articulated sprite topics in lecture or readings but avoid assigning a programming project on them. At a school with a longer semester or for a slightly higher-level course those would be great topics to invite students to explore through implementation.
