== What is Blender and why do I care? ==
Blender is an open source, 3D graphics application released under the GNU General Public License.
It can be used for modeling, UV unwrapping, texturing, rigging, water simulations, skinning, animating, rendering, particle, and other simulations, non-linear editing, compositing, and creating interactive 3D applications, including games.
Someday, I wish to gain the status as an aspiring game designer. My ultimate goal in working with Blender is to meld my love for fine arts, with my passion fro game design to create definitive, memorable gaming experience for the upcoming generation of dedicated gamers.

== Goals ==
*My first goal was to learn and digest the basic controls, functions and navigations of blender. It is quite obvious that the Blender interface was not made to be user friendly, but with helpfrom the guide book I purchased, I was able to learn al about the hot keys, angle views, and object editors.
[[Image:Example.png|thumb|Blender]]
*Understand the how to change and the purpose of wire frame and solid mode pertaining to an object.
*Learn about the two types of views (Orthographic and Perspective) and why each one should be used.
*Learn how to texture renderings
*Understand the toolbox and its functions.
[[image:grass2.jpg|thumb|Grass Texture]]
*Learn how to render landscape
*Begin to learn how to navigate buttons menue and what to look for while using it.
*Familiarize myself with header and how it varies from other other programs.
*Understand file save system and how differs from other computers.
*Render and animate a simple object(atom).

== Working With Landscapes? ==
I am currently in the process of constructing a small, detailed landscape. I have created a 80 x 80 poly grid from which I have leveled to create hills and mountains. I have just laid down a simple grass texture and am now working on laying down more textures to vary out the terrain(give it grass, rocks, sand,water). Afterwards, I will create a skybox to put the grid in.

[[Image:Screen_shot_2010-01-20_at_12.14.33_PM.png|thumb|Rendered Landscape]]

== Making a bridge in Blender ==

*note* I think I will begin by explianing what Im doing in more detail.

The objective of this project is to create a simple bridge by editing the objects themselves.

*I begin by creating a cube and deleting the four vertices on the back to cut it down to a single face. The idea here is to make a single face of one of the bridge's pillar, duplicate it into four faces, and duplicate the pillar into multiple pillars for the length of the bridge.
*I begin by stretching the face I created to 1/4 of the surface area of a single face. Then I create a modifier which mirrors what i do on the right side(which is where my face is) happens on the left.
*I turn on two more and place them in the lower left and right hand corner. Now that everything will be duplicated from the origianl face, it's time to begin working on the details.
*I wanted to make a simple star shape, so, working in the top corner. I extruded in some light rays, and extrude up the centre for the bulge. The Finished results look something like this.

*After the design is finished, I duplicate the pillar using empteis. Similar to the effect of the modifier, the empties give me the option of editing all the pillars I create at once. [[Image:Bridge Pillar.png|Rendered Landscape]]
*I create a plane for the road, and then extruded from to get a guard rail.
*I create a cylinder for the guard rail support and duplicate it across the object( again, the modifier allows me to instantly duplicate what i did to all the other objects.
*I add a few other details and i'm done.
[[Image:Bridge.png||Rendered Landscape]]

== Sculpting a face ==

*note* I think I will begin by explianing what Im doing in more detail.

After working with very technical, geometric restrictions, I wanted to work with a more loose pallet of options. I decided to sculpt a face using. Much like sculpting with clay, creating a face in blender envolves the raw manipulation of the surface of the object; in this case, the vertices.

* I started with a simple isosphere. I wanted the face to be a smooth as possible, so I increased the amount of vetecies until the sphere was smooth.
* I automatically can begin to edit the surface and shape after switching to sculpt mode.
* using the six unique sawtches, I have the choice to draw, smooth, pinch, inflate, grap, and layer the verticies. [[Image:Screen_shot_2010-04-13_at_12.15.12_PM.png‎|The face I made in blender.]]

*What is the hourly salary of one of the newly hired BMW U.S. autoworkers? What is the hourly salary of the same autoworker if they worked in Germany?
*Newly hired BMW U.S autoworkers get $15 per hour, about half of what the typical German autoworker makes.

*Are you surprised by the pay differential between the U.S. and Germany? Why or why not?
*I am kind of surprised but in some point of views, its kind of logical if they are less paid, in the article, new hires at the plant are not directly employed by BMW but come through a contractor, although the automakers says some of the new workers might eventually be hired by BMW and work their way up to the higher wage. and there is also some issues between Americans unions, and German union.

*Can you think of other industries and/or countries that would offshore to the U.S.? Explain.
*India can offshore to the U.S because, there is a huge competition between these countries which and offshoring might help the country

*'''UPLOADING'''
*It is important to upload pictures, songs, videos or any kind of files online.
*examples- [http://tinypic.com/ Tinypic.com] , [http://photobucket.com/ photobucket.com] , [http://www.4shared.com/ 4shared.com]
*these sites help to upload stuff online, and simply post the link anywhere you want.
*in these sites, one can also make their own account, and upload their own stuffs, which will be saved as their album or gallery.
*this is free, and one can also change the size of the file they are uploading.

==10/20/2010==
*The fact that careers are all but selected for students in India and China also allows them to focus more in particular fields, providing them the opportunity to take classes in that field before they are even out of high school. This drastically contrasts with American high school students who usually do not even think about their careers until they are preparing to apply to colleges and may even change their intended careers halfway through college. Is this a good thing or a bad thing? Why?
*I think is a good thing, because, it helps students to experiment with their own interests, and they want to work on. But if students have a goal, they might get into trouble at the end. In India and China, students decide what they are gonna do in future, it helps them to make different choices, and also they can think about back-up options about what they are gonne do if they fail to get thwe goal, so from my point of view, its a good thing, and student should get a chance to decide by themselves what they want to do in future.

*I think the students chosen to represent Americans were a pretty good depiction of some of the top students we have here. Do you agree or disagree? Why?
*I agree, because in America most of the students are basically more interested in extra-curricular activites and also students get into jobs before graduating from high school, there are very less students who totally focuses on academic stuffs, From my point of view, American students have more areas to focus on, in here they dont need to face lot of pressure on studies.

*The purpose of viewing the video was to demonstrate a flat world - made flat by competing economies in China and India. And that happened because of the dot.com bubble which laid down the fiber optic cables connecting our country with theirs via the Internet. Now that you've finished viewing the video, what are some of your thoughts? Was it worthwhile to have viewed this video? Has it made you appreciate what you have? How can we say the world is flat and global all at the same time? Don't those images cancel each other out? Explain.
*The video shows us different styles of studying in different culture, in America students get a lot of times to get involve in other curricular activities, most of them start earn by their own at the age og 18. But in India and China, students dont get enough time after completing their school work, and other tution things. But in other way they get focus on their future occupation and make choices of what they are gonna do in future. I dont feel very proud about our school-system, but also, students in India or China they are not getting space of their other works in life. But in America sutdents are gaining experience of real life. On the other had they are not gaining propoer academic knowledge, which can various problems in future.

* Three remarkable things, are, 1st students dont have equal internet access- it relates with the Equality of access issue, 2nd not all students are comfortable with using computer- it relates with People and machines issue, and 3rd one would be there is not enough computers in schools, so this relates with the policies and standards issue.
* Equality of access is one of the big issues in this topic, because all students are not having equal access in internet to do their school work.
* "Downsides of technology"- one professor found one of her students who used laptop accessively did 11% worse than her other students. The use of internet is rapidly increasing and its causing students to loose their grades in school. It can be solved by limitng the time they are gonna spend online, it can be happen by engaging them with other activities.

*The users and the administration group are the stake holder, because whatever changes its gonna take, that gonna make some effect in these peoples lives.
*It kind of relates with the Globalization and Cultural Diversity, because facebook is a social networking site, and globalize with peoples in other countries, and if facebook is gonna make some changes thats gonna make it easy for everyone to globalize.
*This issue is really interesting for me, because I have a facebook account and if it release anything new, it might get easier for us to socialize.

* Facebook and Skype are getting ready to announce a "significant and wide-ranging" partnership that would integrate text messaging, voice chat and Facebook Connect, according to a report. For those who already use Facebook's instant messaging system within the program, incorporating Skype's video chat would be yet another reason to spend more time within the walled world of 500 million users.
* The users and the authority of both sites are the stakeholders. The users are going to get more scope to interact with people. And that can be the center of attention of the people.
* Globalization & Cultural Diversity:- It can be one of the Social & Ethical Issues in this matter, because by inventing it, people may get a wide way to interact with others, from different region.
* Art, Entertainment & Leisure:- by creating this, people will get to know more about other kind of arts, entertainment and can spend their leisure time doing this
* It can be a great new thing for the people who likes to interact with others, on social networking sites, and can get a chance to exchange their opinion, that can help them to spread their minds.

* Twitter counter onmouseover security flaw.This morning when the users tried to access in Twitter, they couldn't! because it was hacked, impacting thousands of users of the popular microblogging site. This particular hack of Twitter.com was especially crafty, as it was enough for Web surfers to move their mouse cursors over links to activate the links, which sent them to spammers destinations, such as the one million followers of a former British prime minister, who found themselves inexplicably at a hardcore porn site based in Japan.The hack affects users of the Twitter site, and hasn't impacted users who use third-party applications, such as Tweetdeck. TechCrunch (Europe) also has an update that indicates users of the new Twitter interface, mostly here in North America, were also safe.
* the users of Twitter and the administration groups are the stakeholder, because they had to face a lot of troubles.
* It relates with peoples privacy and anonymity- which means to keep a restriction on what people can access in social networking sites, also security is a major key term for this, lack of security can make this kind of problems later in future again.
* This article relates with me, because I also have a twitter account, and if the site gets in kind of problems like this, it can cause me, to loose my private information.
* By creating more restricted privacy can solve this kind of issues, and the administrator should make a privacy rule to prevent this kind of problems.

* Samsung's assault on Apple is underway, as the company unveils its plans for its new tablet PC as well as a new service that allows consumers to purchase or rent TV shows and movies on their Samsung mobile devices. Analysts say there is plenty of room for other entrants. Since the iPad launch, several companies have announced plans for products that tap into this market. And as many handset manufacturers have done in the past, tablet PC makers are turning to the Google Android operating system as the foundation of their products. Dell, Acer, Motorola, and LG Electronics have each said they have plans to make Android-based tablets. The Galaxy Tab could be among the most competitive in the near term, according to RBC Capital equities analyst Mark Sue.
* People and Machines- People can get other options than Apple iPad to experience the accessability.

*The Privacy of Facebook users are not protected as much as they want to be
*The Facebook users identifications that use Facebook aplications are being sold to companies.
*The Privacy of the Facebook Users are being affected, Their identifications are being sold to compainies so that the Companiese have a list of emails to send stuff to facebook users
*Business and Employment because Facebook is making money by not having its privacy level high
*I feel like facebook should not have the right to do this, because this makes Facebook users not want to use Apps beause their emails are being sold to companies that will spam them with JUNK.

* What is the hourly salary of one of the newly hired BMW U.S. autoworkers? What is the hourly salary of the same autoworker if they worked in Germany?
**The hourly Salary of a 15 dollars an hour, The hourly salary of an autoworker in Germany is doubled.

* Are you surprised by the pay differential between the U.S. and Germany? Why or why not?
**I am not surprised because Germanys economy is getting better and better and it pays with euros. Euros are the Europeon Union money and its value is worth more then USA's money. This reminds me when i was in china, i was byting water and it cost 1 yen and over here it cost 1 usa dollar, so it could be that it pays the same value of amount of money but sence Euro is worth more Germany people get more moeny.

* Can you think of other industries and/or countries that would offshore to the U.S.? Explain.
**If the cost of production is cheeper in the USA
**Countries that are more indutstial then USA but smaller or if they are consuming more goods then they are producing.

== 10/17/10 - 10/20/10, 2 Million Minutes ==
Watch "2 Million Minutes"
Answer the following questions in short answer/essay form:

1. The fact that careers are all but selected for students in India and China also allows them to focus more in particular fields, providing them the opportunity to take classes in that field before they are even out of high school. This drastically contrasts with American high school students who usually do not even think about their careers until they are preparing to apply to colleges and may even change their intended careers halfway through college. Is this a good thing or a bad thing? Why?
* This is both a good thing and bad thing, because if a child thats 10 year old and that child is deciding their future, that might not be the future they want to be in 20 years, vs when your older and more mature you will be able to make a more reasonable choice. but if your young and getting ready for your job, you will have more experience and also when your young your ability to learn new things is better then if you are older.

2 I think the students chosen to represent Americans were a pretty good depiction of some of the top students we have here. Do you agree or disagree? Why?
*I agree with the choices, because we can see that the American boy was playing video games,clubs, sports, and date people and most American boys do, It is true that alot of Americans do not know what they want to do when they grow up, and the 2 American kids were somewhat diferent which allows the video to demostrate the diferent ways Americans achive their goals.
3 The purpose of viewing the video was to demonstrate a flat world - made flat by competing economies in China and India. And that happened because of the dot.com bubble which laid down the fiber optic cables connecting our country with theirs via the Internet. Now that you've finished viewing the video, what are some of your thoughts? Was it worthwhile to have viewed this video? Has it made you appreciate what you have? How can we say the world is flat and global all at the same time? Don't those images cancel each other out? Explain.

*As a child of Chinese parents i understand whats the 2 Chinese kids are going though, and since I was raised in America I know what the Americans think like, and now that i watched the video I agree with most of it, American kids somewhat does not understand what the value of what they have, somewhat slack off with tons of distractions and Stuff like facebook, video games, TV, and social life. As seen in the video the Chinese and India kids had a uniform and low tech, this is a somewhat good thing, if you have no dress code and low tech that means less distractions and more time to study and not goof off/socialize. This might be my own small opnion but as you see in the video, when the 3 countries are eating dinner, we see China and India eating together and talking, VS US some were watching TV, and not really talking to each other as a family more like they were just there. I noticed another thing the boys from US and China were thinking of college very differently, we see the Chinese boy taking tons and tons of prep classes, and we see the boy asking for an Xbox big difference their.
*I think this video is worthwhile because it shows the big difference between 3 different countries and makes you think of whats going on in the world. As we saw the India boy imagine what his life would be if he was in America, but American kids dont think of what type of life they could be living if they were in another countries.
*This surprisingly hasn't made me appreciate what i have that much, because i saw that every one of the kids had computers but still I should not but for some reason i don't feel more. but now that i watched the last 5 minutes of the video, I now apreacate what i have now bc we see that even though all those kids are very smart and very skilled, if there is too many very smart and very skilled people it wont matter, so what they call not good there, over here it will be super good so thats probully why people from China and India are moving here.
* The world is flat and global because the goal of EVERYONE(or at least everyone in the video) is to have a good life and good job and thus the world is flat, but the world is global because the everyone has their own ways of achieving this goal,where they live, financial abilities, and each countries unique obstacles to stop them from getting it

*[http://www.techvert.com/technology-in-the-classroom// Tech in Classroom]
* i found it interesting that....
** that only 64% of schools have Internet access, Equality of access
** only 19% of 11th graders uses the computers for work, and 37% of seniors don't use the computer for school work, Equality of access
** students of the 7th grade 97% cant tell a hoax website from a real one, Privacy and Anomyity.
* i find the problem that 7th grade students cant tell a hoax from a really one really bad so, i think sense the we are living in a growing age of technology we need a small class for 6th graders(because that's when some people start middle school) to tell about Internet hoaxes and stuff
* the horrible downside of technology is that peoples grades are being lowed because of facebook, this is probably because when they do their work facebook is up and this will cause distractions in it and making work more bad and you dont learn because your mind will be on the person your chatting and not on your work.
** the problem probably originated from the need to talk and would rather talk then do homework.
** a solution would be a very simple one, and that would be to realize that your grade would be better if you sacrifice a few minutes of facebook

* the Andriod OS is open source(which let people modify it and add ther own apps) however the phone allow google apps gmail, google voice, etc.
this causes user problems which some apps dont work well with the phone
* the apps of the Android does not go through an aprovel proccess so they migh be extreamly glitchy
*One of the problems with open_source nature of the Andriod is that the phone will bhave too much useless stuff on it, like if you get a new Dell Computer it will have hundreds of trail thigns on it, this happens with the andriod and they cant stop it because there are no restrictions.
*They dontprovide updates, or they dont care of providing updates so there is too many versions of Andriod devices
*the phone has many patent issures which might haunt them with many law suits.
*If this countinues the Andriod phone might loose tons of sales and cause the google stock market to crash
*If the andriod phone stops working this will make people loose faith in google and cause a google to crash
*this affects Business and Employment, and lesiure
I think that even though there are alot of issues this will not affect the andriod sale market that much

*if Myspace countines to go down it might go to the point where barely no one is using it,
*the coumpanies that advertise off Myspace will go to other coumpanies based off popularity. If Myspace closes down myspace users already using it to will have to switch making other social networks more populer.
* this willl affect machine and people because if myspace gets closed down people ill have to use othe social networks to use. And Technically this can happen to Facebook, and Twitter if a better network comes up.
*Business and Employment will be affected because anyone who paid myspace or used myspace as a sorce of income will either loose there jobs find a diferent consumer.
* I thik this issue tells how great things cant last forever, I remember that a few years ago Myspace was the thing to get, the most populer, then out of no where a new facebook comes out and BAM myspace starts going down. The only way this will affect me is that too many people were to join facebook and facebook caused the users to pay some money to join it. I would think Facebook would loose lots of people and thats the reaen why facebook hasnt started to make people pay to join.

== Objective ==
* You will learn to create a class that makes use of Vectors and two-dimensional (2D) arrays

== Purpose ==
* The purpose of this class is to encapsulate all the attributes and methods of the entire maze. The Map class represents a grid of rooms, each connected to one or more of its neighbors. The grid will be represented as a two-dimensional array of Room objects; you will use loops to initialize each of the rooms in the array to contain a random description and, with some probability, a random monster and a random weapon.

== Resources ==
* A partial version of [[Media:Map.java]] is provided

== Attributes ==
* Your Map class should use the following attribute variables:

* '''Room rooms[][]''': a two-dimensional array of Room objects. The user will not need to manipulate this array directly, so this should be private and does not need accessor/mutator methods.

* '''boolean visited[][]''': a two-dimensional array of boolean variables. This array is used by the algorithm to generate a maze, described in the connectMaze() method below. The values should all be set to false, which Java will do by default - you do not need to include code for this purpose. Note that this method has nothing to do with whether the player has visited the room -- it is only used in the maze generation algorithm, below.

* '''int height''': the number of rows in the grid represented by the rooms[][] array. Because this is set when the Map is created and cannot be changed, you should provide an accessor (i.e. getHeight()) but no mutator.

* '''int width''': the number of columns in the grid represented by the rooms[][] array. Again, you should provide an accessor but not a mutator.

* '''int maxMonsterStrength, maxMonsterSkill, maxMonsterHitPoints, maxMonsterArmorClass''': the maximum strength, skill, hit points, and armor class of a monster in the Map, all with a default value of 20. You must provide accessor and mutator methods for each of these variables.

* '''int maxWeaponDamageMod''': the maximum damage modifier of a weapon in the map, with a default value of 5. You must provide accessor and mutator methods for this as well.

* '''Descriptions desc = new Descriptions()''': this object will be used in the constructor, below. Note that it should not be static.

* '''Random rand = new Random()''': this will be used to generate random numbers throughout the Map class code.

== Methods ==
* Your Map class should implement the following methods:

=== Constructors ===
* '''Map(int rows, int cols)''': a specific constructor that should create the rooms[][] array with the specified number of rows and columns, then generate a Room object for each slot in the two-dimensional array. The Room should be created using the constructor that takes in a single String parameter. For this parameter, you should generate a random description, using your desc object, of the form "<adjective> <room type>". After each room is created, its row and column should be set to its i and j indices using setRowCol(). Also, the visited array should be initialized to the same size as the rooms array, with each value set to false, and the width and height fields should be updated appropriately.

* '''Map(int rows, int cols, int seed)''': this specific constructor works the exact same as the previous one, with the one addition that the rand instance variable is initialized to a new Random object with the passed seed as the parameter to the Random constructor. This will ensure that when this constructor is called, the exact same map is produced for each value of seed.

=== Accessors/Mutators ===
* All the attributes are declared private, so you should create accessor (getters) and mutator (setters) methods for each attribute.

=== Other Methods ===
* '''boolean isValidRoom(int r, int c)''': returns true if r and c are legal values for the rooms[][] array, meaning that:
0 <= r < height
and
0 <= c < width
otherwise returns false. We will call rooms with legal indices valid rooms in this assignment.

* '''Room getRoom(int r, int c)''': returns the Room reference stored in array slot rooms[r][c], or null if the user passes invalid values for r and c.

* '''boolean allMonstersDead()''': this method searches the entire Map, and returns true if there are no more monsters left (remember that if a monster is dead, then the getMonster() method for that Room will return null). If there is one or more monsters in the Map, then this method returns false.

* '''void populate(int percentWeapon, int percentMonster)''': visits each of the rooms and generates a random integer between 0 and 100 using the Random.nextInt() method. If the resulting random number is less than the specified percentWeapon parameter, a random Weapon is created and assigned to the room using the Room.setItem() method. A second random number is generated and tested similarly to decide whether to create a random Monster object according to the percentMonster probability.
** To create the random monster and/or random creature, you will need to use random numbers between 0 and the values stored in the instance variables. For example, the number of hit points for a randomly generated monster is a number between 1 and maxMonsterHitPoints, which you can generate by calling 1+rand.nextInt(maxMonsterHitPoints). The reason for adding 1 is so that you don't get a skill (or armor class, etc.) of 0, as that can cause other parts of your code to have issues. Recall from HW J6 the specific constructor for the Creature class: Creature(int hp, int str, int skl, int ac, String name, String type, String pronoun). Each of the first four values (hp, str, skl, ac) are random numbers between 0 and the maximum value stored in the appropriate instance variable (maxMonsterHitPoints, maxMonsterStrength, maxMonsterSkill, and maxMonsterArmorClass, respectively). name can be anything (all your monsters can be named Fred, for example), type is a the random creature type from the desc.getNextMonsterName() method, and pronoun can just be "its".

* '''void generateMaze()''': constructs a maze by connecting the rooms in the rooms[][] array using a simple algorithm. Described in English, the basic idea of the algorithm is to visit each of the rooms in the array, connect the room to a random neighbor, then visit that neighbor and repeat, connecting to one of its neighbors, and so on. However, the algorithm does not allow connecting a room to a neighbor that has already been visited. If the algorithm gets "stuck", meaning that all of the neighbors of the current room have been visited, then it backtracks to the previously visited room. This notion of backtracking is implemented using a Vector: as each room is visited, it is added to end of the Vector, when the current room has no more valid neighbors, it is removed from the end of the Vector and the room which is now at the end of the (now shorter) Vector becomes the current room.
** In more detail:
**# Create a Vector variable named v
**# Add the Room object at rooms[0][0] to v.
**# Mark this room as visited by setting visited[0][0] to true.
**# While the vector is not empty (i.e., while (v.size() > 0)), do the following:
**## Set a local variable currentRoom to the Room at the end of the vector (i.e., Room currentRoom = (Room) v.get(v.size()-1))
**## Check whether currentRoom has any valid neighbors that are not yet visited. A room [r][c] is not visited if visited[r][c] == false.
**### If there are still valid neighbors that are not yet visited:
**#### Randomly choose one of those neighbors (repeatedly pick a neighbor at random until the chosen neighbor is valid and not visited). Let us call the chosen neighbor N. This is done as described in the getUnvisitedNeighbors() method, above.
**#### Connect currentRoom to N by calling the appropriate method to add an exit from currentRoom to N (for example, currentRoom.setRoomToEast(N), if the neighbor to the east was chosen as N) .
**#### Also connect N to currentRoom (for example, N.setRoomToWest(currentRoom)).
**#### Add N to the vector v (i.e., v.add(N)). Note that this means that the next time through the loop, N will become the new currentRoom.
**#### Update the visited array appropriately: the location in the visited array that corresponds to the location of the new room N should be set to true.
**### Otherwise (all valid neighbors have been visited), remove the room at the end of the vector (i.e., v.remove(v.size()-1)). Note that this means that the next time through the loop, currentRoom will be set to a previous value -- this is how we implement the "backtracking" discussed above.

== Testing ==
* You are provided with [[Media:MapGame.java]] which creates a Map and tests your class
* Note that [[Media:MapGame.java]] file does not call generateMaze() by default, but instead calls the connectAllRooms() method. If you comment out connectAllRooms(), you can uncomment the call to generateMaze() to test generateMase()
* Use the connectAllRooms() method first, since it is much simpler than the connectMaze() method. You can test the generation of monsters, weapons, random room descriptions, etc. on the resulting fully-connected Map, and move on to implementing the connectMaze() method once you are confident that the rest of the code is correct.
