For example, I am young, smart, and positively regarded from all sides, yet for some reason, I am not advancing up the career ladder. Well, not that I'm not advancing at all, but I seem to be progressing in a way that is […]
To express what words cannot convey; to feel the most diverse emotions intertwining in a whirlwind of feelings; to be detached from the earth, the sky, and even the universe itself, embarking on a journey with no maps, no roads, no signs; to create, narrate, and experience an entire story that will always remain unique and unrepeatable. All of this is made possible by music — an art form that has existed for many […]
This article is a brief overview of the book Game Interface Design by author Brent Fox. For me, this book was interesting from the perspective of a programmer who develops games as a hobby solo. Here, I will describe how helpful it has been for me and my hobby. This overview will help you decide whether it’s worth spending your time on it […]

The Semicon West 2019 conference, held under the aegis of Applied Materials, has already yielded interesting statements from AMD's Lisa Su. Although AMD has long since stopped producing processors on its own, this year it has outpaced its main competitor in the progressiveness of the technologies used. While GlobalFoundries has left AMD alone in the race for 7nm technology standards […]
Hello, Habr! We continue the discussion on gamification mechanics. The last article talked about rankings, and in this one, we'll discuss skill trees (technology trees, skill tree). Let's consider how skill trees are used in games and how this mechanic can be applied in gamification. A skill tree is a specific case of a technology tree, a concept that first appeared in the tabletop game Civilization […]
The release of the DXVK 1.3 layer has been formed, providing an implementation of DXGI (DirectX Graphics Infrastructure), Direct3D 10, and Direct3D 11, operating through call translation to the Vulkan API. To use DXVK, drivers supporting the Vulkan API are required, such as AMD RADV 18.3, NVIDIA 415.22, Intel ANV 19.0, and AMDVLK. DXVK can be used to run 3D applications and games on Linux […]
