There are certainly good alternatives but my experience is that the main factor about success/failure of such projects is whether the authors/developers, operators (IT personal) and users support/accept the chosen technology. Whether or not Mathematica is a good choice for such an application depends on a lot of factors and it is certainly not possible to answer that questiong without having much more information. You should be aware of the fact that it needs some expertice to deploy your application in a way that non-Mathematica users can easily use them with that constellation (it's not really difficult but it is a little hard to find all relevant stuff in the documentation). If you have a huge number of users, you can also consider the Enterprise version of Mathematica which lets you create CDF-Documents which are signed in such a way that they work in a free CDF Player as if that would be a CDF Player Pro. You can think of that as a "Runtime Environment" of Mathematica, it will allow to run notebooks, CDF documents and packages with no restrictions applied, that means you can use DatabaseLink` to access the database and will not have any restrictions on inputfields (in CDF Player I think you can only have numeric inputfields). I think that there is one possibility missing in your list: If you need to access a database (engine) which can't be accessed by an API over http you could to buy a license of CDF Player Pro per seat (roughly priced a little lower than 10% compared to a full commercial mathematica license, probably cheaper if you buy many). Delivering a top-notch product with and not providing a reasonable way for deploying applications, is what I consider unreasonable. Again, I don't know if the area of DB front-ends simply isn't targeted by Wolfram, but I assume there are countless other areas where you'd have the need to deploy a computing application with both GUI and file/data access. Especially since the technology is there. ![]() This is probably viable, but would be a sad choice if you like the Mathematica GUI and graphs. Haven't tried it, but is there any reason to believe it would work better than programming cloud?ĥ) Use the wolfram language server-side, but not for client GUI. Also, I'm not exactly sure to what extent database connectivity is supported in Mathematica Online or Wolfram Programming Cloud (they are essentially the same product, right?)Ĥ) Write the application using webMathematica. Some Mathematica functionality is only supported in Wolfram Desktop systems as of now." Building Mathematica GUI without Dynamic is what I consider unreasonable. Wolfram support tell me that "Mathematica Online, which is a Beta product, does not support the function Dynamic yet. I've failed to build user interfaces using this product. Also, having an application require the user to "allow unsafe whatever" every time it starts is, if not unreasonable, at least a major nuisance.ģ) Write the application using Wolfram programming cloud. A database application not able to connect to it's data source is unreasonable. I'm trying to deploy an application, not deliver a document, and since CDF is a "computable document format" I should probably take a hint. I suppose connecting to external, custom data sources is likewise restricted. Numerous sources indicate the CDF player for security reasons is unable to read or write external files. Maybe not unreasonable, but if there are better ways I'd like to know.Ģ) Write the application in Mathematica, then deploy using the CDF technology. This would be pretty hefty priced, since there would be a license fee for every single client using nothing from Mathematica except running this application. ![]() To deploy, let every client install Mathematica, get a copy the notebook and run the application using Mathematica. ![]() Here is a list of the options I've considered and why I consider them unreasonable or problematic.ġ) Write the application using Mathematica. Otherwise I'd like pointers as to a reasonable deployment strategy. If it's a bad idea to try using Mathematica for writing such applications, please tell me. Sadly, I've failed to identify a reasonable way to deploy such applications. ![]() It seems that it would be suitable for writing database front-ends, especially those involving a lot of computation, graphs etc. Mathematica has pretty nice support for reactive GUI creation and database connectivity. ![]() ![]() Holly Willoughby shares rare loved-up snap with husband Dan Baldwin at Glastonbury where she enjoyed '12-hour' boozy day Shirtless Cristiano Ronaldo shows off his black toenail varnish as he lounges on a yacht during family getaway - as reason for beauty hack is revealed and here's why 50k customers are buzzing over Manuka Doctor The UK's Number 1 Manuka honey brand: It's the health-enhancing elixir loved by A-listers and doctors alike.

![]() Figments are the animated scribbles found throughout these levels are the most abundant collectible. Mind levels in Psychonauts 2 have lots of collectibles that each contribute towards your Intern Rank, so it’s a good idea to collect as many as you can. Increase your Intern Rank by finding Psychonauts 2 collectibles These offer rewards upon completion, including more Intern Ranks and extra Psitanium. Finding a Challenge Marker will give you an entire Intern Rank, but these markers can also be crafted by purchasing a PSI Challenge Marker Core from an Otto-matic shop and the combining it at the shop with nine challenge cards.Įxploring all the nooks and speaking to the NPCs in each free-roam location will also turn up a few optional side missions for you to complete. In the free-roam locations in Psychonauts 2, like the Motherlobe, you need to look for PSI Challenge Markers, PSI Challenge Cards, and Supply Chests and their keys. Mind levels and free-roam locations have completely different sets of collectibles. You’ll be able to find collectibles, spend your Psitanium at Otto-matic shops, and can find and complete optional side missions to increase your Intern Rank. Explore the Psychonauts 2 Motherlobe and other areas between missionsĪnother basic tip for Psychonauts 2 is to make sure you explore the free-roam locations between missions. Defeated enemies will occasionally drop these healing orbs too. Most areas in mind levels will have some type of object that glows green like the health orbs – its water coolers in the Loboto’s Labyrinth level – and destroying them guarantees a health orb. Picking these up restores a couple of Mental Energy brain segments, bringing Raz’s health back up. If you aren’t at full health but don’t want to waste a PSI Pop, smashing destructible objects also has a chance to drop green healing orbs as well as Psitanium. You might never use them but they’re always good to have. ![]() Once you’ve got at least the Psifold Wallet upgrade and a decent amount of Psitanium, then healing items will be useful to stock up on. Since Raz starts out with a maximum Psitanium capacity of 100, that’s enough to buy four PSI Pops, which restore a chunk of Raz’s Mental Energy, or one Dream Fluff, which fully restores Raz’s Mental Energy when it becomes empty. A tip for when you’re getting started with the game is to not spend all your Psitanium on health items to help you in combat. The combat in Psychonauts 2 is great and full of variety, but it’s also generally quite forgiving. ![]() ![]() ![]() The farmer has destroyed the goose that produced them.īut as the story shows, true effectiveness is a function of two things: what is produced (the golden eggs) and the producing asset or capacity to produce (the goose). There are no golden eggs - and now there is no way to get any more. But when he opens the goose, he finds it empty. Unable to wait day after day for the golden eggs, the farmer decides he will kill the goose and get them all at once. He becomes fabulously wealthy it all seems too good to be true.īut with his increasing wealth comes greed and impatience. Day after day, he awakens to rush to the nest and find another golden egg. He becomes even more incredulous the following day when the experience is repeated. ![]() The egg is pure gold! The farmer can’t believe his good fortune. But as he starts to throw the egg aside, he has second thoughts and takes it in to be appraised instead. At first, he thinks it must be some kind of trick. ![]() This fable is the story of a poor farmer who one day discovers in the nest of his pet goose a glittering golden egg. This principle can be easily understood by remembering Aesop’s fable of the Goose and the Golden Egg TM. They are also habits of effectiveness because they are based on a paradigm of effectiveness that is in harmony with a natural law, a principle I call the “P/PC Balance,” which many people break themselves against. They become the basis of a person’s character, creating an empowering center of correct maps from which an individual can effectively solve problems, maximize opportunities, and continually learn and integrate other principles in an upward spiral of growth. Because they are based on principles, they bring the maximum long-term beneficial results possible. The Seven Habits are habits of effectiveness.

The exception to this would be the second episode, which is entirely set in space. Sunken office buildings and Hollywood sets. While Doom would be content in its abstract corridors, Duke Nukem 3D built levels that felt more real. It was also pretty unique at the time for setting its stages in more familiar settings. It also, at every turn, likes to show off its fake level-over-level effects, something that had to be done using design tricks in the ray-casting days. The simple addition of jumping and jetpacks ensures there’s lots of tricky platforming to be had. The biggest difference is an absolute love of verticality. Predating the modern standards set by Half-Life by a couple years, the game still subscribes to Wolfenstein 3D’s more open key-hunting stages where you plumb the set-pieces for supplies and secrets. Perhaps what makes Duke Nukem 3D still worthwhile to play today is it’s fantastic level design. What more reason do you need for a weapon? Duke Burger has always been one of my favourite levels. It’s fun to shrink down an enemy and then step on them with a squish. They’re not in your arsenal to be practical - though they do come in handy in some situations - but rather to just be entertaining. The weaponry quickly changes from pistols and shotguns to freeze guns and shrink rays. It was very joyful in its violence, and its enthusiasm is infectious.įrom top to toes, the game feels like it was just built to be fun. Not only was it extremely sexist to a goofy extent, but Duke constantly spews references to films and aliens blow up in visceral ways. What set it apart was its sense of style. You run-and-gun your way through individual levels, killing aliens and picking up keys. The Duke Nukem 64 port addresses this, but it’s the same as it always was in World Tour.Īnyway, Duke Nukem 3D is a pure ‘90s shooter. He either throws money at them or tries not to blow them up. What I found weird is that Duke never actually rescues any of the women he encounters. ![]() Considering chicks are about one third of Duke Nukem’s entire existence, he’s understandably irritated. No, the story of Duke Nukem 3D is that the titular character returns from his adventures in Duke Nukem II only to find aliens have invaded earth and have stolen all the chicks (that’s women in ‘90s vernacular, not actual baby chickens). This game came out in 1996, so if you’re expecting any grand narrative, you’re going to be disappointed. Still, it’s a nice addition, and even cooler, it can be switched on and off with a press of the d-pad if you want to compare. This is nothing that fans haven’t already done with the engine, and to be honest, I kept the game in its ray-casted mode because that’s how I was familiar with it. The true 3D renderer changes the environments to use 3D polygons, and with it comes some new lighting effects. ![]() It was pretty awesome to be able to look up and down in those days, but it is a strange effect. Most strikingly, if you look up or down in Duke Nukem 3D, the environments warp to your perspective. The Build Engine was one of the best at this, and I’m an eternal fangirl of Ken Silverman for designing it. It uses a technique called ray-casting to manipulate 2D images into quasi-3D environments. Second, it gives you the option to use a new renderer, one that changes the games environments to true 3D.ĭuke Nukem 3D’s build engine isn’t true 3D. First, it includes a completely new episode designed by some of the original development staff. It’s essentially just a port of Duke Nukem 3D with a few extras. Let’s first tackle what the 20th Anniversary World Tour is all about. Hotel Hell has always been one of my favourite levels. So, when the 20th Anniversary World Tour hit the Switch, it may not be the absolutely excellent Duke Nukem 3D: Megaton Edition, but I’ll take any excuse I can get to play through the game again. I’m pretty sure I’ve even still got my original Atomic Edition disks around here and I know my way around EDuke32. It’s one of those games that I’m probably doomed to re-buy repeatedly for the rest of eternity. It’s where I first dipped my toes into modding and configuration file editing. I could wax nostalgic about it until your ears fall off. You can probably trace back a number of obscure facets of my personality to Duke Nukem 3D. A mix of a character I was already so familiar with and Doom’s first-person perspective. I can remember the day I first set eyes on it, playing the first episode on my cousin’s computer in awe. By its release in 1996, I was already a fan of the character through shareware versions of Duke Nukem and Duke Nukem II. It would be impossible to understate what an impact Duke Nukem 3D had on my childhood. ![]() |
