CUSTOM GAME ENGINES: A Small Study

A couple of weeks ago I played (and finished) A Plague Tale, a game by Asobo Studio. I was really captivated by the game, not only by the beautiful graphics but also by the story and the locations in the game. I decided to investigate a bit about the game tech and I was surprised to see it was developed with a custom engine by a relatively small studio. I know there are some companies using custom engines but it's very difficult to find a detailed market study with that kind of information curated and updated. So this article.

Nowadays lots of companies choose engines like Unreal or Unity for their games (or that's what lot of people think) because d

Generate Mazes with Disjoint Sets!

This script generates mazes that satisfy the following properties:

• There are no cycles in the maze
• Maze is always solvable
• Every cell is reachable from every other cell

The script also animates the maze-building process on the command-line (this was actually trickier than the maze generating algorithm itself)!

Usage

# K-means clustering using Lloyd's algorithm in pure Python.
# Written by Lars Buitinck. This code is in the public domain.
#
# The main program runs the clustering algorithm on a bunch of text documents
# specified as command-line arguments. These documents are first converted to
# sparse vectors, represented as lists of (index, value) pairs.

Scientific Python From Source

This document will walk you through compiling your own scientific python distribution from source, without sudo, on a linux machine. The core numpy and scipy libraries will be linked against Intel MKL for maximum performance.

This procedure has been tested with Rocks Cluster Linux 6.0 (Mamba) and CentOS 6.3.
