![]() ![]() Premiseĭroppy Bird was a small, peaceful little bird, flying around the skies and through forests searching for its brother’s home, until one day she came across an intricate labyrinth made out of protruding pipes coming from all sides of a small hill. In the situation of a losing condition, a restart of the game is always possible (although with a different randomly-generated set of obstacles, so basically with a new level). The losing condition happens anytime the player allows the bird to be hit either by the pipes or by the ground at least as many times as the bird has lives left in the game, before the player has reached to go through all the obstacles. The winning condition happens when the player has successfully passed through the middle of all the randomly-generated number of obstacles in the level while keeping its number of lives above zero. Moreover, I may argue that avoiding the obstacles is actually the goal in the game, therefore without such conflict element, the player would not be able to achieve its goal at all, as there would be no goal to look forward to. The conflict elements in this game are of the classical style of physical objects (both the pipes and the ground) preventing the player from reaching the goal. The players must repeat this action numerous times until they have avoided all obstacles, which also means the end goal of the game has been reached. The player procedures in the game are simple and straight-forward: the player presses a button (in our case, the mouse button) to make the main bird character jump in the air and avoid falling down on the ground. The obstacle position relative to each other and the total number of obstacles is randomly selected (within certain bounds) for each level, allowing randomness to constitute part of the ‘fun’ elements of the game. If the player touches any part of the obstacles or the ground, physics rendering will make the sprite character spin around its own axis (and not vertically or horizontally), which will generate an additional challenge for the player in controlling. After finishing passing through all the game obstacles with a positive number of lives, the game is won by the player. After every 5 consecutive obstacles passed, the player is granted an extra life. The core gameplay loop takes inspiration from the game Flappy Bird, which was an endless-runner type of 2D game, however Droppy Bird adds a twist to the genre so that a goal and winning condition is actually created for the player.ĭroppy Bird’s core gameplay loop involves guiding an absurd gravity-affected bird through a vertical set of obstacles pipes which leave small rooms in between them for passing through, without touching any part of them more times than the player has lives in the game. Because of that, player interaction patterns resemble a single-player VS game approach.Įventually, the game could be upgraded to introduce multiple players in the same game level trying to prevent each other from getting through all the common goals ( á la Mario Kart style), making the player interactions more oriented towards multilateral competition, however such a change would also need to take into consideration how to make the level difficulty and pipe obstacle distances and spacings manageable in terms of multiple player sprites within the same screen size. The game is meant for one-person interaction, in which the player role is uniform and well-defined: that of the master of the main bird character. The objective is to guide a bird through all pipe obstacles without losing all lives. ![]() The logline has been chosen as: Droppy Bird is a Flappy-Bird-style game which lets the player tap a button to avoid pipe obstacles and winning is done by avoiding all the level obstacles. The game name for my project is called Droppy Bird, due to the game’s silly main character visual of absurdly dropping constantly with cartoon-like physics. ![]() Game Design Final Project: Droppy Bird By Sebastian Sbirna ![]()

![]() Every person who responds to the grace of God in Christ Jesus is called to serve both the Church and the wider culture by participating in God’s mission to restore and bless this broken world. The Holy Spirit indwells those who believe in Jesus Christ, assures us that we are children of God, and includes us in his universal Church. He dwells in the believer, glorifies Christ, and equips us for service. We believe that the Holy Spirit is God and is the third Person of the Trinity. We therefore expectantly and hopefully proclaim the good news of salvation in Jesus Christ and call all people everywhere to repentance and faith in Him. While we cannot grasp the full nature and extent of God’s grace in offering the gift of salvation, we are warned that everlasting separation and anguish ultimately await those who turn away from God. The only proper response to this gift is repentance and joyous faith. Through the incarnation, suffering, death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus Christ, God graciously provides forgiveness for sin, freedom from sin’s control, and a loving relationship with God the Father. He came to proclaim the kingdom of God, to preach good news to the poor, to bind up the brokenhearted, and set captives free. He was born of the Virgin Mary, lived a perfect, sinless life on earth, and fully embodied the mission of God. The incarnation is the belief that Jesus Christ is both God in human flesh and the Messiah promised in the Hebrew Bible. We await His visible and glorious return to the earth to claim His own and to judge. He offers us eternal life, forgiveness of sins, and peace through faith in Him. He rose bodily from the grave and now is reigning in power with the Father. His death on the cross paid the penalty for our sins and is the only basis for the salvation of those who trust in Him. He lived a perfect, sinless life on earth. Having always existed, He took on human flesh and was born of the Virgin Mary. We believe that Jesus Christ is God the Son, is the second Person of the Trinity, and is fully God and fully man. God, in community with Himself, created human beings to be His image bearers, to serve and cultivate His good creation, to live in harmonious relationship with God and each other. ![]() He was and always will be in perfect relationship with Himself-Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. ![]() In the beginning, God created all things very good. God has revealed Himself in the person of his Son, Jesus Christ, in the Scriptures, and in the material creation. He is perfectly and infinitely loving, just, and holy. There is one God, who exists in three Persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. We believe God is the only fitting object of our worship. Properly understood and received by the community of faith and with the aid of the Holy Spirit, the Scriptures are the Church’s true, trustworthy, and faithful guide, “useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness” (2 Timothy 3:16), never failing or erring in its purposes, and never returning void when they are faithfully lived and proclaimed. We believe God has given us the Scriptures, composed of 66 books in the Old and New Testaments, to be the final authority for faith and practice of the Church. Every word is inspired by God and is without error in the original writings. ![]() ![]() ![]() Its services require a lot of extra costs even when it does not provide a built-in text editor.

I went with 32 GB of RAM because my old machine came with 16 GB and had these RAM issues constantly. This machine that I’m writing on and that I just took that screenshot with is brand-spanking new. I’ve found the reason for the slowness usually has to do with my RAM usage peaking out, and amazingly, CleanMyMac X has a one-click solution for that right in the handy-dandy menu bar app: Like, when I’m in the middle of some long-running task, or I’m trying to complete a thought, or I only have 30 minutes left in my work day and I want to use them to do work. Restarting usually does make for a snappier machine, but sometimes I really want to avoid it. Maybe it’s because of how many different development environments I spin up and down, coupled with the fact that I only restart once a week… if that. The dreaded Mac beachball seems to happen for even the simplest of things. It runs slowly and every task seems to take forever. I can’t quite explain why, but sometimes my machine feels bogged down. ![]() Popping over to the app, I can see exactly what it’s doing: Saving myself from a restart CleanMyMac X will notice that I did that and help me delete it correctly. I can simply drag that application to the trash. I don’t need that anymore because CleanMyMac X does this automatically! Say I’m cleaning out my Applications folder and find an app that I just don’t use whatsoever. ![]() Not only would the app be gone, but any files strewn across the entire system that relate to that app as well, of which there might be a dozen… or more. I used to rely on a little tool called AppZapper to delete apps, because it had this neat feature where it would entirely clean up after the app. CleanMyMac X gives me hints on the best directories to use for certain files. It helped me discover that the largest offenders on my system were recordings for CodePen Radio, which could easily be removed from my system with no harm.ĭropbox has a “selective sync” feature that allows me to keep some files backed up, but not keep them locally on my Mac. The new Space Lens feature is great to helps you visualize the biggest hoarders on your system. I find stuff like enormous log files, old SQL dumps I don’t need any more, original media recordings that have already been backed up. They have a feature that literally does exactly that, which helps me track down giant files that I have zero use for anymore. That’s a lot of space, making this tool a godsend if you’re dealing with space issues on your hard drive, as I certainly have.īut what I’ve found is that tracking down big and old files is the best way to clear up space. If you haven’t run it in a while (particularly on your first-ever run), you’re going to be clearing many, many gigabytes of unused junk off your system. Clearing up hard drive space is one of CleanMyMac X’s superpowers Give it another few minutes to do its thing, and a boatload of the heavy lifting will be done for you. Then you get a bit of an overview of things CleanMyMac X can help you with, and away you go. ![]() Plus, it provides an alert once it finishes. The scan only takes a few minutes, even on my machine, which is pretty loaded with files including god-knows how many node_modules folders and such. The cornerstone of CleanMyMac X is to regularly run a scan of your whole system and follow its recommendations for what to clean up. I’ve used it for years and years, and it is my primary tool for helping me keep a clean shop. Just look up what Abraham Lincoln had to say about sharpening axes. Keeping a clean machine makes sure we can do out job without anything getting in the way. If it seems off to see a review of this Mac software seems here on a web development blog, it shouldn’t.

The graphics are a mixed bag ranging from decent to pretty bad. Let me break down my perception of the game for you: Now, I totally understand why some people really dislike the game, but for me, it was exactly what I was looking for. It's a generic dungeon crawler, with similar gameplay to Diablo. Also, I'm having a blast! So, here's my breakdown of the game for anybody considering buying it. Now that is cleared up, I want to say that I've fully beaten both the original Dungeon Hunter and Dungeon Hunter 2 on Android and have logged about 20 hours into Alliance on Vita so far. Now that the price is much less of an issue, I believe the game deserves a much better reputation. As such, its ratings are somewhat unfairly colored because of its massive premium on Vita. And rightly so- when the game came out is was $40 on Vita, compared to $15 on PS3 and Mac, and $1 for the other DH games on mobile. The game got really terrible reviews at launch, but look into it and most of them score the game poorly because of its price. I believe the storyline is the same, but that's about it. For reference, here is the opening stage of DH for mobile, compared to the opening stage of Alliance. It's not a port, nor did this game ever appear on mobile devices. Anyway, Alliance is a brand new game based on the first entry. I highly recommend DH2, arguably the best in the series. Dungeon Hunter is a great and respected series for mobile (until the last three entries at least). It is, however, based on the first Dungeon Hunter game. TL DR is at the bottom.įirstly, to clear up a common misconception: Dungeon Hunter: Alliance is not a port of an iOS game. It's not the best, most polished experience around, but it's a great game that doesn't deserve it's overly bad reputation.
