Important Health Warning About Playing Video Games Photosensitive seizures A very small percentage of people may experience a seizure when exposed to certain visual images, including fl ashing lights or patterns that may appear in video games. Even people who have no history of seizures or epilepsy may have an undiagnosed condition that can cause these “photosensitive epileptic seizures” while watching video games. These seizures may have a variety of symptoms, including lightheadedness, altered vision, eye or face twitching, jerking or shaking of arms or legs, disorientation, confusion, or momentary loss of awareness. Seizures may also cause loss of consciousness or convulsions that can lead to injury from falling down or striking nearby objects. Immediately stop playing and consult a doctor if you experience any of these symptoms. Parents should watch for or ask their children about the above symptoms—children and teenagers are more likely than adults to experience these seizures.

  • Algorithms Used in Pathfinding and Navigation Meshes 1
    Algorithms Used in Pathfinding and Navigation Meshes 1 Algorithms Used in Pathfinding and Navigation Meshes Corey Trevena Introduction Finding the shortest path between a starting point and end point has many algorithmic solutions, but as demands for the shortest path move from static to dynamic environments, these algorithms have needed to become more complex. This paper will address the algorithms used in this pathfinding, starting with Dijkstra’s Algorithm, and expanding on Dijkstra the A* algorithm, Dynamic A* (D*) algorithm, and the Anytime Dynamic A* (AD*) algorithm. The core of this paper will focuses on Dynamic A* and Anytime Dynamic A*, before wrapping up with software-based solutions for pathfinding in environments called Navigational Meshes (Kallman & Kapadia, 2014). History Finding the shortest path is a well-known problem in Computer Science, but it is by far not a new problem for humanity. From the shortest paths of trade routes, to the shortest routes to ship cargo by, the shortest path problem has been the focus of mathematical research long before computers were ever able to be utilized (Schrijver, 2010). Matrix methods were developed in 1946 for their applications to communication networks, and shortly after shortest-length paths were addressed by Bellman-Ford and Dijkstra in 1956 and 1959, respectively (Schrijver, 2010). In recent years, the shortest path problem has had to contend with the complexities of the real world through robotics, and the virtual world via video games and simulations. Algorithms Used in Pathfinding and Navigation Meshes 2 Dijkstra’s Algorithm Dijkstra’s algorithm requires a connected graph where all edges have non- negative weights.

Box 654 ○ Aptos, CA 95001 ○ USA PE 4.156 Release Notes Fax: +1-(650)-257-4703 SB Pro PE 4.156 (Full Release) Version History and Release Notes This is a new version of SB Pro PE (neither patch nor upgrade) – so don’t install it over an existing version. This Steel Beasts version is intended to be installed separately. We strongly suggest uninstalling previous versions of Steel Beasts Pro PE before installing it! To make sure that there are no leftovers from even older installations, we rec- ommend using the Windows System Settings’ “Add/Remove Programs” utility. Note: This version will not run without an existing license for Steel Beasts Pro PE 4.1! Like since version 4.0, Steel Beasts Pro PE 4.1 is 64 bit only. Licenses may be purchased from the eSim Games web store (for details, see below): https://www.esimgames.com/?page_id=1530 The (old, pre-Chrome) Edge browser has been reported to fail with license activations; we recommend using a different browser when visiting the WebDepot to claim your license ticket. Unless Windows Update has pushed the “new Edge” onto your ma- chine, whether you liked that or not. This is a preliminary document to complement the User’s Manual; at the time of this writing a version 4.1 User’s Manual is in preparation to go into print. This document focuses on changes since version 4.023 (December 2017).
