Art is a mystical force that naturally courses through every fabric of Yolanda Mogatusi’s being. As the Managing Director of South African-based Alkemaiz Games, she recalls how people were amazed by her artistic talents as a child. What was easy for her wasn’t easy for everyone else. Alkemaiz comes from alchemize , a word that means to magically change the nature of something.

This Week in Business is our weekly recap column , a collection of stats and quotes from recent stories presented with a dash of opinion (sometimes more than a dash) and intended to shed light on various trends. Check every Friday for a new entry. It's Black Friday today, but sometimes I worry we can lose focus on the true meaning of the day, with the hyper-commercialist celebration being forgotten around all the "reflections on gratitude" nonsense of the neighboring US Thanksgiving.

The company has countered by insisting it will fight the suit in court.

The current generation of console hardware has even seen a mid-cycle price increase, rather than the once-customary gradual price drops designed to bring consoles within more and more consumers' price ranges.

Given that this article will run on the day celebrated as Thanksgiving in the United States, I wanted to write about Star Trek: Prodigy ’s return in December on Netflix. As corny as it sounds, I really am thankful that we’ll get to see the Protostar ’s crew continue their adventures. I’ve commented before that I think Prodigy offers really clever storytelling that makes the world of Star Trek accessible to all ages.

This game is great, and I think that it has a lot of potential. In fact, I’ve been playing it with my friends for days. However, last night Lethal Company got stuck on the loading screen, and I know that I’m not the only player experiencing this. While I was doing my research to discover quick and efficient solutions to deal with this issue, I’ve noticed that many other players are encountering it during the launch or after the “You are fired” message.

Early this month I was streaming a Cogmind run on Twitch , at one point once again sending out drones to scout around as I like to do. Drones are generally pretty fast, and I’ll often just make sure I’m in a relatively safe spot and keep an eye on what the drone(s) find while I wait and decide where to go next. The drone centering and following feature added back in Beta 10 has been quite useful for this purpose.

Ok so I’ve spent a bit of time trying to understand the issue here and I might think this could be a bug for the engine/bundle process. So basically I was able to setup Redux into my project, but the only reason was because the bundle was.mjs file. Currently, most modern exports for esm commons use the extension.ems.js instead of.mjs. It works by renaming the extension from.ems.js to.mjs, puff.

Hello, To make the resize button work, you can set the some parameters to your window. There are 2 ways you can do this: Change your project source code Change the engine source code For the first solution, in the file main.cpp , under proj.win32, add glfwWindowHint(GLFW_RESIZABLE, GL_TRUE); over AppDelegate app; , and it should work. If you want a permanent solution, open the file CCGLViewImpl-desktop.cpp and go to the method called bool GLViewImpl::initWithRect and add glfwWindowHint(GLFW_RESI

Hi, I have many Cocos Creator projects written with Cocos Creator 2.4.x Do you know how to convert them into project structure of Cocos2d-js 3.1x (standard cocos2dx library) ? (not LUA or C++ but cocos2d-js!) It is not the technical problem but I need to deliver all the project to my client - and my client can only work with project cocos2dx-js version 3.1x (They don’t want to learn Cocos Creator) PS: Ah, maybe I need to ask if it is possible or not to convert like that?

It seems like the engine is not recognizing touches from the S-Pen as regular touch inputs. And I found the answer to the back button issue. Previously, the back button press on mobile devices was recognized as “KeyCode.MOBILE_BACK”, but now it is being recognized as “KeyCode.BACKSPACE”, which is causing the problem.

've found that the issue was occurring because the touch pen events were being recognized as mouse events. Modifying the following line in the AndroidPlatform.cpp file resolved the issue. Since we’ve only released the game for mobile, I don’t think it will be a significant problem, but just to be safe, could you check if there’s any potential issue for future problems?
