![]() ![]() There’s a lot to consider when it comes to Endless Dungeon especially with all the random elements that apply with each run, like the floor layout and the extra weapons and upgrades you can acquire. ![]() We realised quickly that we needed to constantly be communicating with our teammate to decide where best to pop down turrets and which mid-run upgrades we should acquire.Īs de Waubert said, resources (which you regularly earn from generators that can also be targeted by enemies) are shared among the group, so discussions need to routinely be held on important decisions, such as whether to spend resources on a research station to unlock a new turret type. While ammo is mercifully not a resource (it was at one point, but the developers scrapped the idea), running from room to room guns blazing is going to get you killed or your crystal destroyed. So, it’s still tactical… but it’s all about getting to agree with others.’ All the resources, opening doors… it’s more of a social experiment in many aspects. ![]() ‘It’s only your plan, you don’t have to deal with anyone else. ![]() ‘Single-player will probably be a bit more tactical and strategic,’ explained de Waubert. We brought the subject up to de Waubert and Faguet, who were quick to assure that the game is tailored for both single-player and multiplayer, adding that your approach is quite different depending on how you’re playing it. Though de Waubert and Faguet don’t completely rule out the possibility of it being incorporated later. Dungeon Of The Endless had multiplayer too, but whereas it felt like an afterthought, we get the sense that you’re almost expected to play Endless Dungeon with other people… which makes the lack of cross-play (with so far no plans to add it post-launch) a tad disappointing. Perhaps the biggest difference is the new twin-stick shooter gameplay, which is both more dynamic and more suited to Endless Dungeon’s heavier emphasis on multiplayer. Rather than trying to reach the surface of a hostile planet, your cast of ragtag heroes are trapped on an abandoned space station and must work their way down through its various floors and escort crystals in order to progress and escape. Despite a similar premise and nuggets of lore here and there, that long-time fans of the studio’s Endless universe will appreciate, this isn’t a direct continuation of Dungeon Of The Endless. One thing we were told early on was that Endless Dungeon is not a sequel. It clearly resonated with a lot of players because after returning to more traditional strategy fare like Humankind, the studio is now launching a spiritual successor entitled Endless Dungeon. The end result may be truly unique or a jarring mess, luckily Endless Dungeon is the former.Ģ014’s Dungeon Of The Endless, a hybrid of rougelike, tower defence, and turn-based strategy could have easily suffered that fate, but Amplitude Studios’s ambitious efforts paid off, creating one of the more imaginative rougelikes out there. Mashing three or four genres together will certainly make a game more unique but having multiple, disparate, elements makes it very hard to ensure they complement each other. While there are plenty of games that marry two different genres, to create a one-of-a-kind experience, you rarely see a studio try and go beyond that. GameCentral checks out an early build of Endless Dungeon to see if its niche blend of rougelike and tower defence can win over new fans.

Since there is only 4 components in this circuit, we just need to find out how to solder wires between the components. unless you want to make it overly complicated and energy inefficient by using normally closed relays. I believe that there might also be a type of off-on-off switch, where both circuits are normally closed, and tipping the switch would interrupt one of the circuits, which would be useless for this project. On top of that, It allowed me to recycle an on-on DPDT switch I had lying around. The former is the "more switches looks cooler" approach, which I chose. If you have the latter, it is the cleaner option, since that type of switch acts both as the reversal mechanism, and the on-off switch. Others have three positions, on-off-on, where you can have either one one of the circuits closed, or both open. Some have two positions, where one circuit is closed (on) and the other is open (off) at all times, known as an "on-on". It is a switch that can control two different circuits from one power source. The reversal mechanism can be easily designed around a double pull double throw switch, known to friends as a DPDT switch. So, an on-off switch and a mechanism to reverse the polarity of the DC current. Now that we have DC, we need to be able to get the power to the motor, to be able to turn it on and off, and be able to reverse the motor in case of jams. You can check out this Wikipedia article for more detail and some pictures. I guess this design is more popular with higher voltages. The one I got for this project is the square type. The square one has the AC come in opposite corners and the DC out of the other two corners, just like you would see in a circuit diagram. The rectangle type usually have the AC come in the center pins and the DC out of the outer pins, with the positive towards the beveled corner. It can be simply 4 diodes soldered on the circuit board, or it can be an integrated circuit taking the form of an upright rectangle with a beveled corner, or a square unit that lays flat on the board. There are 3 popular diode arrangements to make those bridges. Well, it is usually an arrangement of 4 diodes that will act like traffic cops, directing all the electrons going in one direction to one wire (the negative, normally black wire), do their loop on the circuit, and come back through another wire (the positive, normally red wire). Ok, so now I know that I need a bridge rectifier, but what is it exactly? Just remember that it's part of the AC wiring. ![]() I won't talk about it either in the following steps. If you dig a bit deeper, you can find a micro switch that cuts power to the unit if the bin is removed. Note : the actual voltage from the outlets in your home may vary. We now also know that we need a way to convert 120V AC to 120V DC.Įnter the magical world of rectifier bridges! The fact that this is a 120V motor can be considered a good thing, since no transformer will be needed in the new circuit. The other two are blue, and from what I can tell, they are probably from a sensor of sorts, since there was an overload LED on the cover. In this case it's a 120V DC motor. Note that there are 4 wires coming out of the motor,and two of those are obviously the DC power wires since they are black and red. When taking out the motor, check for a sticker with the specs. correct me if I'm wrong, but nonetheless. I have my doubts about reversible AC motors. I of course kept the board for any salvageable components in a future project.Īpparently, this shredder came in a version with an AC motor, and a version with a DC motor. In my case, I had no clue as to what was broken, so I just removed the circuit board and cut the wires as close to the board as possible, in order to give me some room to move later on. ![]() Soldering iron and solder - recommended, but it's possible to do without.ĭremel - again, recommended, but it's possible to use other cutting tools Insulator for some connections - heat shrink, electrical tape, marettes.Ĭrazy long philips screwdriver - I used an 8 inch #2, but it was tight, so maybe a #1 would work better On-off switch - optional if your DPDT switch has an off position let's say that I hadn't quite grasped the mindset of photographing for instructables yet. The downside is that this project was done way back in February 2010, and the first steps were not documented with photos. This is my first published instructable, yay! The simple fix is to make a basic circuit that will run the motor forwards and backwards. I always wanted to get a shredder to dispose of sensitive documents, so when I stumbled on an ad for a broken shredder to give away, I jumped on the occasion!īasically, the electronics inside were shot, but the motor was in perfect working order. Here is one way to inexpensively bring a shredder into your home office! ![]() ![]() ![]() If it is a Skeleton or a Spider, it would be fantastic. Now, locate a spawner or purchase one, and construct a grinder. The finest kinds of bases are those that are built on bedrock, on lava, or under an ocean. You should create a large pool of lava in the area above. Make an Obby Generator on the inside, then cover it with as much Obby as you can to protect it. First, establish a secret base far away from civilization at bedrock. Now is the time to get down to business with the most essential things. Then you may smelt iron using wood and use it to create tools and armor out of iron.įinally, get diamonds in whatever way you can. To begin mining for stone and iron, descend deep down to a depth of about 20 blocks below the surface of the earth's crust. Then begin making everything and everything you can out of wood, including bows. Alternatively, squat if you want to be extremely secretive a crouching nametag cannot be seen through a wall.įind a remote forest that is uninhabited by anybody other than your companions, and collect about 4 stacks of wood. When mining, constantly keep an eye out for rogue nametags, and if you see one, immediately spawn away from the area. When you're initially collecting supplies, be sure to ALWAYS remain together and stay away from everyone else to avoid becoming separated. And don't forget about bows and a plentiful supply of arrows. Attempt to go all the way to full diamond gear, and maybe enchantments, by staying away from spawn, where there is no one else to bother you. Not in the sense of power, but in the sense of gear. The second stage is to maintain secrecy, only speaking at certain times or in faction chat to avoid attracting the attention of rival factions that do not want you well. Because they are all friends, there is little possibility of betrayal or grieving on their part. Because the faction is comprised of a small number of individuals who are all buddies, the decision was made to only ask them. After establishing all of this, create a faction and invite everyone to participate if they so want. First and foremost, establish 4-6 people who are REAL friends. Okay, so you've just joined a factions/raiding realm and you're determined to take over the world. Construction of cannons to knock down fortifications, PvP, and plundering the wealth you discover will make for an entertaining raid. In Factions, raiding is a fundamental concept. The primary goal of Factions is to form a powerful team (referred to as a "Faction"), claim territory, construct bases, and begin attacking other bases. There's also OP Factions, which adds enchantments and other features to the game that aren't included in the basic game. At its heart, it is a multiplayer online battle arena game. ![]() Factions is not a game for the faint of heart. It expands on the original Minecraft survival experience by including a few essential plugins and improvements. Play on any Bedrock Device that is compatible.įactions realms are one of the most popular kinds of Minecraft gamemodes available today, and it is easy to see why. Binocraft Factions is one of the finest factions realms for the MCBE realm community, and it is also one of the most popular. ![]() ![]() Pucci consoles himself, claiming he has no need for the Stand Disc, and that everything continues to go according to plan. Hearing guards approaching, Whitesnake makes his retreat, but Jolyne attaches a string to the Stand in order to discern its user's identity. The messenger is in fact a pigeon named Savage Garden. He tries to kill Jolyne, but its too late as the messenger from the SPW has already retrieved the Disc. Whitesnake finds the Disc, but Jolyne reveals herself to be alive and uses a string to take the Disc from Whitesnake. He finds what appears to be Jolyne's corpse covered with frogs. Whitesnake enters the courtyard in search of Jotaro's Disc. The guard opens the gate, and Pucci makes his exit, leaving the guard to die. Using Whitesnake, and a frog, Pucci manages to blind the guard and force him over to the gate. Instead of helping Pucci, he runs for his life. On the other side of the gate, another guard approaches. The guard under Pucci's control tries to rescue the priest, but dies from coming into contact with too much poison. Jolyne creates a net of strings to prevent the frogs from landing on her. He uses his Stand to keep the frogs away from him, but drops his pass card underneath the mass of amphibians. He recognizes this as the ability of Weather's Weather Report. The frogs break through the windows and land dangerously close to Pucci. The guard looks up to see hundreds of frogs raining from the sky. ![]() The guard attempts to retrieve the Disc, but is stopped by a poison dart frog that fell from the sky. He shoots Jolyne in the abdomen a few times. In the courtyard awaited a guard under Pucci's control. However the Stand Disc containing Star Platinum was taken back by Jolyne Cujoh, and is about to be returned via the Speedwagon Foundation in the prison courtyard. ![]() Now, thanks to his Stand, Whitesnake, Pucci was able to steal Jotaro's memories along with the invincible Stand that defeated The World. Jotaro found the notebook, and in order to prevent anyone from learning of its contents, he burned it to ashes. ![]() However, in 1989, just a year later, DIO was defeated by Jotaro Kujo. DIO tells him that he had written the instructions down in a notebook. Pucci recalls a conversation he once had with his close friend, DIO, over a way to get to heaven.

The snake was first discovered by western scientists in 1879, and sightings are rare. )Ĭlick here to see the deadliest snakes in the world ![]() Its bite is lethal in more than 80% untreated cases, and can kill a human in under an hour.” (Snakes are hardly the only animals that can be deadly to humans, of course. Of the deadliest, the Inland taipan, the analysts who put together the report wrote “Its paralyzing venom consists of taipoxin, a mix of neurotoxins, procoagulants, and mycotoxins, which causes hemorrhaging in blood vessels and muscle tissues, and inhibits breathing. (Note that many of these exist in numerous subspecies.) ![]() Safaris Africana has used these and other yardsticks to determine some of the world’s deadliest snakes. The company notes that there are several ways to measure lethality, among them the amount of venom dose needed to kill one person, the number of people killed by a species each year, and the percentage of people who die if a bite from a species is left untreated. The London-based safari information site Safaris Africana has compiled a list of the most venomous snakes in the world. The inland taipan is found in some of the most remote and inhospitable environments on Earth. It is a shy snake that avoids confrontation and lives in remote areas. But despite this, there are no recorded human fatalities from inland taipan bites. ( These are the most dangerous jobs in America. The inland taipan is the world’s most venomous snake. Young people and children are particularly at risk, as are agricultural workers, hunters and fishermen, and others who work outdoors. Between 81,000 and 138,000 of those people die. The World Health Organization reports that about 5 million people are bitten by snakes each year. The deadliest of these is the inland taipan, native to east-central Australia. Of these, about 600 are venomous, and 200 of them are a threat to human safety, with bites that can lead to illness and death. There are approximately 3,000 species of snakes in the world, according to National Geographic. ![]() ![]() ![]() More importantly, understand the influence they had on the American people and the US government. The History of the Standard Oil Company by Ida Tarbell was an expose of the Standard Oil Company’s harsh treatment of other businesses.įor the test: Make sure you know these “muckrakers” and what their works were about. How the Other Half Lives by Jacob Riis was a series of shocking photographs that publicized the poor living conditions of immigrants in New York City. This book actually directly led to the Pure Food and Drugs Act and the Meat Inspection Act of 1906. The Jungle by Upton Sinclair was a novel that revealed the gruesome truths behind Chicago’s meatpacking industry. Taking advantage of this new form of widespread communication were the “muckrakers,” a group of investigative journalists who exposed industrial and political abuse happening across the country.įor the AP® US History exam, it’s important to know about a few key muckrakers and their works: People in California could read about something happening in New York, and vice versa, which was something that hadn’t really been easy to do before. MuckrakingĪt around this time, the mass circulation of magazines and newspapers was just starting. There have been very few questions about Taft on the APUSH exam. He also established the Federal Reserve Act.įor the test: Focus your studying on Roosevelt and Wilson. ![]() He wanted to stop big business from dominating the government by encouraging small business. Under his New Freedom platform, Wilson wanted to eradicate trusts and lower tariffs. In the next election, Roosevelt actually ran against Taft under his own Progressive Party, the Bull Moose Party, but lost. Roosevelt had picked Taft to be his successor, but when Taft became president, the two had a falling out due to Taft’s “trust busting” antics. Taft was the real “trust buster.” He wanted to break up any and all trusts, regardless of whether they were good or not. A perfect example of this is the Newlands Reclamation Act, which used money from the sale of lands out west to use towards irrigation projects in other parts of the country. Roosevelt actually sided against the owners of the mine and threatened to seize mines if the owners didn’t cooperate.Ĭonservation of natural resources – Roosevelt also focused on the environment. A good example you should know about is the 1902 Anthracite Coal Strike. He wanted to regulate good trusts, and eliminate the bad ones. The Pure Food and Drug Act and the Meat Inspection Act were passed under Roosevelt.Ĭorporate regulation – Roosevelt wanted to control trusts, and actually became known as the “trust buster,” even though he didn’t want to completely get rid of trusts altogether. 1914 US cartoon showing Woodrow Wilson priming the pump, representing prosperity, with buckets representing legislation The Progressive PresidentsĪn easy way to remember Roosevelt’s political program, which he called “the Square Deal,” is to know that it consisted of the “three C’s:” consumer protections, corporate regulation, and conservation of natural resources.Ĭonsumer protections – Heavily influenced by muckraking, and in particular Upton Sinclair’s The Jungle, Roosevelt focused on making sure the American people (the consumers) were protected. They believed in cooperation to improve society. The general goals of the Progressives were improving social problems, reforming local governments, improving labor conditions, democratizing the political process, and regulating big business. The Progressive Era was born out of that feeling. By the beginning of the 1900s, people began to feel that these companies were too powerful. In around the 1880s, large companies needed to cut their costs, and in order to do that, they had to lower wages and increase employee hours. (It’s important to note that Progressives were NOT the same as the Populists, who were famers from the West and Midwest). The Progressives who sought such change were women, the middle-class, and people who lived in urban areas. The Progressive Era was a time of change on the national and state levels between 19. But do you know what the Progressives wanted to change? Do you know the impact of those changes? The AP® US History exam has had a lot of questions on the Progressive Era, so this crash course will prepare you for any that come your way! The Progressive Era is exactly what it sounds like – a time of progression and reform in the United States. ![]() |
