Qatar World Cup controversies

 On 20th of November national teams of Ecuador and Qatar officially started World Cup. Ecuador easily won 2:0 against Qatar. This matched, and especially the image of Qatar once again raised questions about them being host of the World Cup. Why this tiny nation without any football tradition is a host to the biggest sport event in the world? Why FIFA has given permission to organize World Cup to a country which is well known for violation of human rights? Why FIFA organized World Cup in a country in which temperatures during summer (when World Cup is organized) reach 50 Celsius? 

Answer to this questions is very simple, money. Qatar is one of the richest countries on Earth, and FIFA is known for taking bribes for lots of things. Very upsetting is that FIFA is turning this beautiful sport into business, where money is more important than sport.

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
