Exploring Open Educational Resources (OERs): A Reflection

Image
In Education Open Educational Resources (OERs) have emerged as a beacon of hope, promising to reshape the way knowledge is shared but has also surfaced some difference of opinion.

Inventory systems in unreal engine5? How would you do it?

Image
 Hey Progranaughts! I'm currently deep-diving into the fascinating world of inventory systems in Unreal Engine 5, and I'm doing it all with Blueprints. There's something super satisfying about visually scripting complex systems like an inventory – it's like a puzzle! So here's the deal: I'm working on this project where I've set up an inventory system with 15 standard slots, 2 crafting slots, and one output slot for crafted items. The idea is that when a player picks up an item, it should automatically slot into the first available space, moving sequentially from slot 1 to 15. And, of course, if all slots are full, we need to let the player know with a friendly "Inventory Full" message. But here's where I'm turning to you, the UE community: I'm curious about how you would approach this scenario. There are so many creative minds out there, and I'm sure there are multiple ways to skin this cat (figuratively speaking, of course!). Woul...

C++: The Game Dev Powerhouse

So, I hear you're stepping into game development? Right On Dude! C++ is your new best friend!   It's like the muscle car of programming languages – fast, powerful, and totally essential for building awesome games. Why? Because it handles complex game mechanics and graphics like a champ. The key as a beginner is to wrap your head around how C++ is structured, which can be a bit daunting at first, but hey, that's what learning is all about! Syntax: The Grammar of C++ Let's chat about C++ syntax. Think of it like the grammar rules of a language. Every statement ends with a semicolon – it's like putting a full stop in a sentence. And those curly braces {}? They group together a bunch of statements, kinda like paragraphs in a story. This helps you organize your code so it doesn't turn into a jumbled mess. It's all about making your code clear and easy to follow, both for you and anyone else who might read it. Variables and Data Types: The Building Blocks Every ga...

The Golden Era of Anime: Reflecting on The Big Three

The Golden Era of Anime: Reflecting on The Big Three Remember the 2000s, when "Naruto", "One Piece", and "Bleach" were everything in anime? They were the Big Three - a holy trinity for fans. Each show brought something unique: "Naruto" with its ninja world and deep character arcs, "One Piece" with endless adventure and quirky characters, and "Bleach" with its cool blend of the modern and the supernatural. These weren't just shows; they were epics defining a generation. Why The Big Three Were More Than Just Lengthy Series What set these shows apart wasn’t just their length; it was their storytelling depth. They blended action, emotion, and humor with themes like friendship, sacrifice, and self-discovery. And the fights? Absolutely thrilling. It was this mix of elements that kept us glued to our screens, eagerly waiting for each new episode. The Evolution of Anime Post-Big Three Fast forward to post-Big Three anime, and it...
