![]() ![]() The original 1976 version of the game contains five treasures which can be collected. The program's replies are typically in a humorous, conversational tone, much as a Dungeon Master would use in leading players in a tabletop role-playing game. ![]() If it does not understand the player's commands, it asks for the player to retype their actions. The program acts as a narrator, describing to the player their location in the cave and the results of certain actions. There are dozens of rooms, each of which has a name such as "Debris Room" and a description, and may contain objects or obstacles. The allowable commands are contextual to the location, or room, the player is in for example, "get lamp" only has an effect if there is a lamp present. The player types in one- or two-word commands to move their character through the cave system, interact with objects in the cave, pick up items to put into their inventory, and perform other actions. The player must explore the cave system and solve puzzles by using items that they find to obtain the treasures and leave the cave. Gameplay Colossal Cave Adventure running on a PDP-11/34 with a monitor, showing the point systemĬolossal Cave Adventure is a text-based adventure game wherein the player explores a mysterious cave that is rumored to be filled with treasure and gold. It has been noted as one of the most influential video games, and in 2019 was inducted into the World Video Game Hall of Fame by The Strong and the International Center for the History of Electronic Games. It also influenced the creation of the MUD and computer role-playing game genres. It directly inspired the creation of numerous games, including Zork (1977), Adventureland (1978), Mystery House (1980), Rogue (1980), and Adventure (1980), which went on to be the foundations of the interactive fiction, adventure, roguelike, and action-adventure genres. Both versions, typically played over teleprinters connected to mainframe computers, were spread around the nascent ARPANET, the precursor to the Internet, which Crowther was involved in developing.Ĭolossal Cave Adventure was one of the first teletype games and was massively popular in the computer community of the late 1970s, with numerous ports and modified versions being created based on Woods's source code. Woods's version expanded the game in size and increased the number of fantasy elements present in it, such as a dragon and magic spells. The original game, written in 19, was based on Crowther's maps and experiences caving in Mammoth Cave in Kentucky, the longest cave system in the world further, it was intended, in part, to be accessible to non-technical players, such as his two daughters. It is the first well-known example of interactive fiction, as well as the first well-known adventure game, for which it was also the namesake. The program acts as a narrator, describing the player's location and the results of the player's attempted actions. The game is composed of dozens of locations, and the player moves between these locations and interacts with objects in them by typing one- or two-word commands which are interpreted by the game's natural language input system. In the game, the player explores a cave system rumored to be filled with treasure and gold. It was expanded upon in 1977 by Don Woods. Colossal Cave Adventure (also known as Adventure or ADVENT) is a text-based adventure game, released in 1976 by developer Will Crowther for the PDP-10 mainframe computer. ![]()

Then for example when someone would like a download of a big JPEG or the DNG the system can automatically pick the XMP-masterdata from the smaller files before the file is sent to the one asking for it. The last files might be as small as 1080 or 1024 just to archive max system performance when people are querying the system. In an automated workflow like the one I have experiences from building one RAW-based DNG could automatically generate one RAW-DNG (as is), a full size JPEG kan be automatically extracted fron the DNG and stored among all the other full size JPEG-files and a smaller preview that carries the master XMP-metadata can also be made automatically. It´s not just that the files are three times heavier than RAW-based DNG, I have also learned that TIFF-files has a more inefficient handling of metadata than DNG and JPEG that have special headers for XMP which TIFF is lacking, Updates are more inefficient of that reason.Ī DNG can both contain the RAW-data, a developed JPEG that is not just a small preview but a JPEG delivery file developed just the way the photographer intended and on top of that the XMP-metadata. No one that can avoid it will handle TIFF in a DAM-workflow. In enterprise DAM-systems you can do a lot of clever things in automated workflows that you can´t do with TIFF. ![]() ![]() My advice, just use TIF as you will not be able to use DeepPrime and you will not lose anything by not using DNG.ĭNG has other properties too that most people are not aware of. ![]() ![]() ![]() Open Source software is software with source code that anyone can inspect, modify or enhance.

In contrast to conventional emulsions, Pickering emulsions are surfactant-free emulsions stabilized by fine solid particles. A century later, these emulsions are once again in the news 11, 12. Pickering emulsion biomaterials drug delivery microspheres nanoparticles. Pickering emulsion name refers to one of the two pioneering researchers in the early 1900s 9, 10. Pickering emulsions provide an efficient platform for interfacial catalysis, but product separation and catalyst recycling rely on time- and energy-consuming. ![]() In this article, we give an overview of Pickering emulsions, focusing on some kinds of solid particles commonly serving as emulsifiers, three main types of products from Pickering emulsions, morphology of solid particles and as-prepared materials, as well as applications in different fields. Applications to nanostructured materials are promising. Pickering emulsions allow the control of drug delivery. Various stabilizing particles are working: either inorganic or organic. Pickering emulsions are fine dispersions of minute droplets of two immiscible phases stabilized by solid particles adsorbed at the liquid-liquid interphase. Pickering emulsions can be applied in a wide range of fields, such as biomedicine, food, fine chemical synthesis, cosmetics, and so on, by properly tuning types and properties of solid emulsifiers. Pickering emulsions have outstanding properties controlled by both formulation and process parameters. Unlike traditional emulsions, particles in Pickering emulsions are positioned at the interface between oil and water and act as stabilizer to improve droplet stability. Pickering emulsions are composed of oil phase, particles and aqueous phase. Besides, they are more biocompatible when solid particles employed are relatively safe in vivo. Pickering Emulsions by Using Alum as Stabilizer. Substituting solid particles for traditional surfactants, Pickering emulsions are more stable against coalescence and can obtain many useful properties. Pickering emulsion, a kind of emulsion stabilized only by solid particles locating at oil-water interface, has been discovered a century ago, while being extensively studied in recent decades. ![]() ![]() For instance, when she was a baby her mother had been so worried Nora’s left ear stuck out more than her right that she’d used sticky tape to address the situation, then disguised it beneath a woollen bonnet.

![]() ![]() She is also not squishy, which is a big plus. If you are facing mobs of vessels under your level, she is the person for the job. Xoti single handedly wiped out 1/3 of the crew of the Floating Hangman with a single spell and she was still a support crew run by the AI. While I think the dialogue and characterization in Tyranny is really well done, probably the best Ive seen, because there isnt really a huge commitment to. This does not mean priests are redundant, I agree. I already have Aloth as a single class wizard. Usually my battles are long and it is very risky for me to take two casters with limited resources (unlike chanters and ciphers). There is also another aspect of it: I have Xoti as a pure priest. And a big budget for healing potions and scrolls is not a bad idea, either. That title goes to the chanters and the paladins (even crusaders work fine as healers). They have fewer spells per combat, few healing spells so imho they are no longer the best healer. Durance is the best companion, theres no debate possible there, even if you dislike him. In PoE 2 priests are even more dispensable. Mind you, in PoE I had no problems with the White March 2 without him (there were other thematic characters for that storyline) as long as you stock potions an scrolls. Add Aloth and you have the perfect storm. Pillars of Eternity Story Companions Builds Aloth Ranged Build Aloth. Illusions give him some endurance while the puppet master is very useful in wrecking havock among the enemies. He is the highest DPS character in the group.

Although he seems to have the least to do with the story of the Beast of Winter (though his main quest might have led him to an interesting place when it comes to the gods). Eder has been companion since the very beginning of Pillars 1 and has unique sense of humour. Pallegina seems to have interesting reactivity in the beginning and I love her anti-religious rhetoric. Any advice? Or is switching between companions between the missions of the DLC better? ![]() Aloth is needed because of two spells: pull of Eora and the wall of colours. Who has the most interactions in that quest? To be honest, it is either Pallegina or Eder. Now that Vatnir is aboard as chanter=priest which of the 4 has to go/be replaced? The campaign is Path of the Damned-Upscaled an the party varies between level 19 and 17. Originally, I went for Pallegina, Eder, Aloth, Ydwin and the main PC. ![]() |
