FIFA-12

"This is one of the worst football games ever made." Fifa 11 was a decent enough successor to the placid and boring Fifa-10. With a lot of improvements implemented including a scad amount of ways to score a goal and defend and with player attributes perfectly manifest in the gameplay Fifa-11 caught my eye and took away a lot of my time :) Fifa 12 however was really pathetic in terms of gameplay. "The defenders feel as if they are attackers, even in "Cover" mode of defence in which they are not...

Portal-2

"A stunning sequel to the amazing Portal game." With much more puzzles to solve and a lot more experimentation to be done, filled with hatred, betrayal and all the modern cultural phenomena, this game proves to be the one to stick glue onto your seats till you escape from the inner depths of Aperture science labs. Avoid the turrets, make use of the light beams and above all Make portals :) Have fun enjoy My rating -> 4.5/5 - "Must pla...

Larry Crowne

Tom Hanks, once used to working in the navy and currently in a super market is left with no job and money due to the fact that he is uneducated. He goes to school again and starts working in a restaurant. The teacher of his class would be Julia Roberts who also has problems with her marriage. Eventually they would understand how they have changed each others the lives after having a student teacher relationship and would eventually fall in love and finally end up together. "A sweet and short...

LIMBO

An impeccable game filled with riddles and puzzles. The boy is presented to be trapped in limbo and the environment really matches the Limbo's ambiance that resides in everybody's minds. This will surely drain everything out of your brain as you go on solving puzzles and ways to move forward. The game is built to be vapid and in black and white but that takes nothing away from the fun. A true master class and a collectors items for some one seeking the most envied "Different" tag. My rating...

PORTAL

A cool puzzle based game which requires a lot of mind boggling to get through levels. I am scrupulous to call this a first person shooter as this indeed is a first person view with a gun. But the gun does not shoot bullets to decapitate your enemy. The machine allows the user to engender 2 doors, one with the LMB(Blue color) and the other with the RMB(Red/Orange color). If you enter through one door you will exit through the other. This is a real substitute to the much highly rated teleportation....

The paper has been prepared but, the whole idea of cube mapping came from this link http://http.developer.nvidia.com/CgTutorial/cg_tutorial_chapter07.html Will it be possible to merge that paper along with the info given in this link, or should I follow this pattern including the code used??? :( Mind boggling...............

Some findings and results

Some findings 1. In the refraction texture we define, the variable called refractionratio of the material is actually the (refractive index of air/ refractive index of lens). 2. Then if we increase refractive index, refractionratio decreases. When refractionratio increases, the focal length also increases. So the behaviour of the lens and the refraction ratio is in accordance with the real world and the lens makers formula. 3. We can use any material with refractive index > 1 and we would get...

Thus far and pondering

So here is what I have done so far with the lab and am stuck here thinking hard.... Features available 1. A proper environment to move about 2. An optic bench that has a scale to measure the values 3. The freedom to move the object and image pins along the optic bench using the slider in HTML 4. A lens that has dynamic cube mapping feature 5. Three modes 5.1 Prepare mode - You can see the whole room and make arrangement for the experiment 5.2 Inspect mode - Keeps the camera in position to...

Opening the lens' true being.....

So........................... We conducted a lot of experiments (physically) consulted some experts and finally was able to find out a proper way of implementing the physics in three.js. Read on....... 1. What is a lens??? A lens is basically a part of a sphere 2. What is the radius of curvature of a lens??? It is the radius of the sphere of which, it is a part. 3. What is the refractive index (u) of a lens. In optics the refractive index (or...

Change in framework

The involvement in the project has been minimal in the past 3 to 4 months due to other engagements. And a glance over the development shows nil in the GLGE lighting features. That precisely has put us off on continuing with the framework. A new choice has been "three.js" which gives marvellous results with lighting. Inspite of a small array of glitches and lacks, this poses to be a good platform for the virtual labs to base itself. So from here on in, three.js takes up the coding area in the ...

Vidyut - A success story

February 3rd 2012. The real happiness was to be witnessed inside me. An year of struggle, along with my team mates has finally paid off. Standing in front of the college staring at the humongous structure of our front entrance, I ran myself through my memories "From the initial documentation, budget problems, Late night phone calls to setup workshops, thinking of creative ways to write in the website, sitting with my website and multimedia team, tying the flexes, meetings with our convener, our...
