How is physics working in No Man's Sky?

 On early stage of development of No Man's Sky, its chief game designer, Sean Murray, made a lot of promises. One of them was that physics in No Man's Sky universe will be the same as in real world. And Sean Murray overall told the truth. In No Man's Sky every movement isn't designed in code by developers, like in most of the games, but it's simulated by computer and then adapted to the game in form of movement. Another example is that player can see as far as curvature of planet. Day and night cycle isn't designed by developers, it's result of planet rotation like in real world. But every game is mean't to entertain people, right? Adapting all real world physics to No Man's Sky would make playing this game a real challange. For example, most of moons in No Man's Sky orbits very close to planet its orbiting. in real world, distance between moon and planet is 4 to 5 times longer than in No Man's Sky. Also in No Man's Sky player can rwach the speed of light. In real world this kind of speed would cause changes in time, but No Man's Sky physics don't care about time at all. Although No Man' Sky was meant to be 100% accurate to real world, due to difficulties in programming and expectations of players, developers had to change their image of their game.

New Zealand forbids smoking and establishes prohibition.

 New Zealand recently established new law, which everybody was waiting for. New Zealand's government forbids to buy cigarettes and other tobacco products  by people born after 1 of January 2009. Its purpose is "to make New Zealand smoke free by 2025. This law will also slash the number of companies with permission to sell cigarettes by 2023. Although it seems like a great idea at first, but we must remember how establishing prohibition of certain products made things worse in countries that established it. In USA alcohol prohibition made mafia wealthier and so strong that fighting it was a huge problem for the USA. In other case, in Sweden when the government established "alcohol books" which were required to buy alcohol, alcoholism rate had grown really fast, and the black market was so huge that fighting with it became one of the main problem of Swedish government. The same situation will probably happen in New Zealand. Source https://edition.cnn.com/2022/12/13/asi...

Why Tunisian election recorded only 8,8% turnout.

 Last election carried out in Tunisia showed that almost no one believes in changing Tunisian president. After suspending parlament and establishing new constitution, Tunisian president Kais Saied is ruling almost alone for the last year. Because of that, no one believed that voting in this election would change anything in the government or presidential seat. 91% of Tunisians not voting in this election is a signal for Saied that very few Tunisians support him. After introducing new constitution, Saied called other political parties an enemies of people and left them with almost no political rights. By that Tunisia broke the record of having the lowest voting rate in modern history elections.  Source  https://www.theguardian.com/world/2022/dec/17/tunisian-parliamentary-election-records-just-88-turnout

Games using procedural generating #3

 My third post is about another, well known game, Terraria. This game is called "2D Minecraft". There are many reasons to think that. Terraria has similar "cubic" graphic, is also based on on procedural generated world and monsters. This game was created by small, independent american studio, "Re-Logic" and published by "505 Games" on 16 May 2011. The game received very positive reviews, and it has sold in over 35 milion copies, which is one of the biggest success in video game history. Terraria world is entirely built with small squares of different materials, such as stone, dirt, wood, etc. This game was entirely written in C# programming language. Terraria is also known for being one of the most positive reviewed games on Metacritic.  Sources https://terraria.fandom.com/wiki/Terraria_Wiki https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Terraria https://www.metacritic.com/game/pc/terraria
