INDIANA JONES AND THE TEMPLE OF DOOM A Film Review Copyright Dragan Antulov 2000
Time can be very unkind to movies. In first few months and years after the premiere, a movie might make record profits at the box-office, earn multitudes of "Oscars" and generally be regarded as one of the greatest contemporary films. But, only after few years that same film gets utterly forgotten, and future film scholars have a lot of trouble in explaining its initial success. 1980s blockbusters seem to be very good illustration of this phenomenon, and not even George Lucas and Steven Spielberg, those two symbols of blockbuster success, could save their films from such fate. INDIANA JONES AND THE TEMPLE OF DOOM, their second instalment in very popular adventure film trilogy, directed by Steven Spielberg in 1984, is a good example - a very popular and critically hailed film in its time, and now virtually despised by contemporary critics, misunderstood by the contemporary audience and practically disowned by their own creators.
INDIANA JONES AND THE TEMPLE OF DOOM is product of its era, albeit somewhat unusual one. When screenwriter and producer George Lucas begun working on the follow-up to his classic adventure masterpiece RAIDERS OF THE LOST ARK, he decided to make prequel instead of sequel and set the plot in Shanghai 1935, one year before the events of the first film. Archaeology professor Indiana Jones (played by Harrison Ford) has located the remains of the first Manchu emperor and he comes to luxurious night-club to complete the deal with local gang boss Lao Che (played by Roy Liao). He is to receive precious diamond in the exchange for the artefact, but the deal goes bad and in the ensuing chaos he would have to settle with clueless bar singer Willie Scott (played by Kate Capshaw). Pursued by Lao Che's gangsters, they get to the taxi driven by 9-year old Short Round (played by Jonathan Ke Quan) who takes them to airport where they all three would board plane for India. The flight is not the end of adventure - plane crashes in the Himalaya mountains and trio, barely escaping death, has to travel to Delhi. On the way they reach small impoverished Indian village and the local shaman (played by D.R. Nanayakkara) tells them about evil Thugee cult whose minions took away the sacred Shankara stone and all the children. Jones agrees to help them and the trail lead him to Pankot Palace, place which used to shelter Thugess many centuries ago but now seems to be ruled by benevolent child Maharaja (played by Raj Singh) and his Oxford-educated prime minister Chattar Lal (played by Roshan Seth). Jones is still suspicious and soon he finds secret passages that lead to the cave which was recently turned into temple of goddess Kali and where the evil chief priest Mola Ram (played by Amrish Puri) wants to gather all the Shankara stone and thus get the magical power that would enable him to rule the world.
Like many sequels of its era, INDIANA JONES AND THE TEMPLE OF DOOM had misfortune of being compared with its predecessor, and in most of such cases predecessors happened to be much better. In the case of this film predecessor was RAIDERS OF THE LOST ARK, not only the first instalment in trilogy intended to repeat the success of STAR WARS, but also an undisputed classic of adventure genre. Lucas and Spielberg were aware of this and they tried very hard to make second instalment of the series as different as possible from the first. They succeeded in that but those changes weren't necessarily for the better and INDIANA JONES AND THE TEMPLE OF DOOM is almost universally viewed as much inferior to the first film of the trilogy.
The most palpable change is in the screenplay, this time written by Wilard Huyk and Gloria Katz. While the first film had very basic, but still coherent plot, the second one is nothing more than the series of action sequences and gags loosely sawn together. Characterisation is even worse, except in the case of Indiana Jones. His character has been clearly established in the first part and screenwriters actually don't need to experiment, but short episode with his turning to the Dark Side seems refreshing. Harrison Ford plays him very well, being equally convincing in tuxedo and his legendary adventurer's outfit. Unfortunately, this is not the case with his partners.  Her constant complaining, crying and screaming is funny at first but later gets repetitive and irritating; Kate Capshaw might be the best actress around but she can't remedy the limits of her character, which seems insulting to the female gender in general, despite being modelled as a parody of dumb blonde and damsel in distress stereotypes in 1930s movies. Bond's 9-year old sidekick Short Round looks much better in comparison, although his character has opportunities to be equally irritating. He was probably introduced to the film in order to make it more attractive to the younger audiences - those who were basis of Spielberg's commercial success in 1980s.
Unfortunately, Spielberg, in his effort to make this film appealing to adolescent and pre- adolescent crowds succumbs to infantilism that plagued many 1980s films. So, one child among protagonists is not enough and the film must have villains that use thousands of children for the slave labour, sacrificing plausibility in the process. Such infantilism, that plagued many films made in the mid 1980s (like MAD MAX BEYOND THE THUNDERDOME), is compromised with the heavy use of realistic violence. If spiders, bugs, snakes, skeletons and decomposing bodies don't scare the children in the theatres, people being ripped to pieces and burned alive, all with appropriate amounts of blood and gore, definitely would. Even the 1980s MPAA censors were aware of this, and Spielberg used all his clout to create compromise PG-13 rating that managed to save at least part of his core audience. Of course, MPAA censors were, as usual, more squeamish about sex than violence, so Spielberg reduced eroticism for couple of weak double entendres, leaving critics to interpret the Freudian meaning of the tunnels that play important part in the second part of the film.
Screenplay was weaker than the previous film, but at least Spielberg kept his directing skills. From the opening, that pays homage to 1930s musicals, to the end, movie is series of excellent scenes. The action is always exciting and rhythm very fast, never allowing the film the slow down; which is perhaps a good thing, because characterisation and plot problems would otherwise become even more obvious. Photography of Douglas Slocombe creates good atmosphere, and the production design in Pinewood studios is superb, as well as Sri Lanka locations (which some of us might recognise from THE BRIDGE AT THE RIVER KWAI). Special effects are also very good and still look convincing, despite being made with pre-CGI technology. Music by John Williams is very good, and although not being particularly memorable (except in the ritual scene), serves as perfect illustration for the events in film.
There is another reason why INDIANA JONES AND THE TEMPLE OF DOOM enjoys much worse reputation today than sixteen years ago. All the villains in the film happen to be non-white, and even in 1984 British satirical show SPITTING IMAGE accused this film for racism in a parody gag called XENOPHOBIA JONES. We could only imagine how would PC police of contemporary Hollywood react to the similar script today. Because of that, INDIANA JONES AND THE TEMPLE OF DOOM seems quite refreshing compared with contemporary action and adventure films. Spielberg is also one of the rare Hollywood filmmakers who defies stereotypical negative portrayal of the British Empire in historical films. This film not only features British colonial troops in the role reserved for US Cavalry in early westerns, but also references certain good things the Empire did for its subjects.
All in all, INDIANA JONES AND THE TEMPLE OF DOOM is deeply flawed film that didn't age quite well, but most of those flaws are well hidden by Spielberg's mastery. From our perspective it is still a very good piece of Hollywood entertainment, much superior to the more recent examples of same genre.
RATING: 7/10 (+++)

Zlatan quits LA Galaxy
by The Eagle OnlineZlatan Ibrahimovic will not return to the LA Galaxy for the 2020 MLS season, the team said in a statement on Wednesday.
The 38-year-old Swedish striker tallied 52 goals and 17 assists in 53 starts for the Galaxy, the team he joined in March 2018 from Manchester United.
The charismatic Ibrahimovic, who has also played for some of Europe’s biggest clubs including Barcelona, Juventus, Paris St Germain, Inter Milan and AC Milan, said he was leaving Los Angeles on a high note.
“I came, I saw, I conquered,” Ibrahimovic wrote on Twitter.
“Thank you @lagalaxy for making me feel alive again. To the Galaxy fans — you wanted Zlatan, I gave you Zlatan,” he said.
“You are welcome. The story continues … Now go back to watching baseball.”
Despite Ibrahimovic being the highest-paid player in the league, pocketing $7.2 million for the 2019 campaign, the Galaxy won just one playoff game in his two seasons.
The team fell to crosstown rivals LAFC 5-3 in the MLS Cup conference semi-finals last month.
He was the team’s top goal scorer both seasons and was twice named in the MLS Best XI list.
Few had expected him to return for a third season with his contract expiring at the end of the year and it is unclear what is next for Ibrahimovic, who has been linked in media reports with returns to AC Milan and Manchester United.
“We would like to thank Zlatan for his contributions to the LA Galaxy and Major League Soccer,” LA Galaxy President Chris Klein said in a statement, which described the decision as mutual.
“Since his arrival in 2018, Zlatan has positively influenced the sport of soccer in Los Angeles. We are grateful for his work ethic and passion. We thank Zlatan for his professionalism and immeasurable impact on the Los Angeles community and the soccer community in North America as a whole.”

func
func [<func name>]
Examples:
-
"func"
- return the current function.
-
"func ObjMessage"
-
set the frame to the first frame for ObjMessage.
Get the current function or set the frame to the given function.
-
The <func name> argument is the name of a function in the stack frame of the current patient. The frame is set to the first occurrence of the function from the top of the stack.
-
If no <func name> argument is given then `func' returns the current function.
See Also: backtrace,
up,
down,
finish.
fvardata
fvardata <token> [<address>]
Examples:
-
"fvardata ATTR_VIS_TEXT_STYLE_ARRAY *ds:si"
Locates and returns the value list for the data stored under the given token in the vardata of the given object.
-
If the data are found, returns a list {<token> <data>}, where <data> is a standard value list for the type of data associated with the specified token.
-
Returns an empty list if the object has no vardata entry of the given type.
-
If no <address> is given, the default is *ds:si.
fwalk
fwalk [<patient>]
Examples:
-
"fwalk"
- list all open files.
-
"fwalk geos"
-
list all open files owned by the GEOS patient.
Print the list of files open anywhere in the system.
-
The patient argument may be used to restrict the list to a particular patient. The patient may be specified either as the patient name or as the patient's handle.
-
fwalk differs from
sysfiles
and
geosfiles
in that it deals primarily with GEOS data structures.
-
The `Other' column shows if there is a VM handle bound to the file.
-
The letters in the `Flags' column mean the following:
-
RW
- deny RW
-
R
- deny R
-
W
- deny W
-
N
- deny none
-
rw
- access RW
-
r
- access R
-
w
- access RW
-
O
- override, used to override normal exclusion normally used by
FileEnum()
to check out file headers.
-
E
- exclusive, used to prevent override. This is used by
swap.geo
See Also: fhandle,
geosfiles,
sysfiles.
gc
gc [(off|register|<extensive-heap-checking-flag>]
Implements a simple garbage collector to scavenge unreferenced symbols and types. If given an argument other than "off" or "register," it turns on extensive heap checking, which slows things down enormously but ensures the heap is in good shape. The "gc register" command can be use to register a type created by "type make"as something that is being used for an extended period at the Tcl level, preventing the thing from being garbage-collected.
gentree
gentree [<address>] [<instance field>]
Examples:
-
"gentree"
- print the generic tree starting at *DS:SI
-
"gentree -i"
- print the generic tree under the mouse
-
"gentree [systemobj]"
-
print the generic tree starting at the system's root
-
"gentree @23 GI_states"
-
print the generic tree with generic states
-
"gentree *uiSystemObj"
-
start the generic tree at the root of the system
Print a generic tree.
-
The <address> argument is the address to an object in the generic tree. This defaults to *DS:SI. The `-i' flag for an implied grab may be used.
-
The special object flags may be used to specify <object>. For a list of these flags, see pobject.
-
The <instance field> argument is the offset to any instance data within the GenInstance which should be printed out.
-
The variable "printNamesInObjTrees" can be used to print out the actual app-defined labels for the objects, instead of the class, where available. This variable defaults to false.
See Also: gup,
vistree,
impliedgrab,
systemobj,
pobject.
geosfiles
geosfiles
Examples: "geosfiles"
Print out all the files for which I/O is currently pending in GEOS.
-
This looks at the same dos structure as sysfiles but this prints only those files also listed in GEOS' job file table.
See Also: sysfiles,
sftwalk,
fwalk.
geos-release
This variable contains the major number of the version of GEOS running on the target PC.
geowatch
geowatch [<object>]
Examples:
-
"geowatch *MyObj"
-
Display geometry calls that have reached the object MyObj
-
"geowatch"
- Display geometry calls that have reached *ds:si (asm) or oself (goc)
This displays geometry calls that have reached a particular object. Only one object at a time can be watched in this way.
-
Two conditional breakpoints are used by this function (see cbrk). The tokens for these breakpoints are returned.
-
The special object flags may be used to specify
object
. For a list of these flags, see pobject.
See Also: objwatch,
mwatch,
cbrk,
pobject.
get-address
Used by the various memory-access commands. Takes one argument, ADDR, being the address argument for the command. Typically, the command is declared as
[defcmd cmd {{addr nil}} ... ]
allowing the address to be unspecified. This function will return the given address if it was, else it will return the last-accessed address (stored in the global
lastAddr
variable as a 3-tuple from addr-parse) in the form of an address expression. If no address is recorded (
lastAddr
is nil), the default-addr argument is used. If it is not specified then CS:IP will be used.
getcc
getcc <flag>
Examples:
-
"getcc c"
- Get the carry flag.
Get a flag from the target machine.
-
The first argument is the first letter of the flag to get. The following is a list of the flags:
-
t
- trap
-
i
- interrupt enable
-
d
- direction
-
o
- overflow
-
s
- sign
-
z
- zero
-
a
- auxiliary carry
-
p
- parity
-
c
- carry
-
This command is handy to run with a breakpoint to stop if a flag is set.
See Also: setcc,
clrcc,
compcc.

Surprise! The girl who has traveled all over the world in the last year likes a spur of the moment lifestyle. Abstract Random thinkers tend to visualize and conceptualize the project they are working on and Random thinkers prefer to accomplish the project in a non sequential order. These thinkers thrive in people oriented low structure environments.
As I'm sitting here in the airport getting ready to board the plane to San Francisco all I can think is "wow, this is really happening". Phase 0 consisted of many struggles, but many accomplishments as well. I think my biggest struggle was not believing in myself and getting overwhelmed. Sometimes I would look at a problem, read the directions and think "oh boy this is going to be really hard" and then my mentality would sort of shut down to the problem at hand. When I would do the smae problem with other people, however, I found that once we started working on the problem I had plenty of my own ideas to contribute and just was ready to go. I think this struggle has to do with negative visualization or too much visualization. To combat this when confronted with a challenge I need to calm the fears and take things one step at a time. Once I have the first step out of the way I can open up the flood gates of ideas and continue pursuing the challenge in a calm manner.
I think I'm going to start hanging this picture in my apartment as a reminder that YOU as a person can shape your mindset. With Abstract Random thinking I know that who I surround myself with is critical to my overall mood and thinking. So far everyone I've talked to in my cohort is really intelligent and supportive. While I realize these relationships are going to be brand new and everyone will be doing their own thing, the lack of negativity has been super helpful. While I naturally embrace challenges I sometimes get burnt out and then proceed to procrastinate. To diminish this effect I realize now, I can change the order in which I do things or I can seek advice/counsel from others. A quick chat can help me realign my morale and jump back into what I'm working on.
I love learning more about myself as we try to accomplish the seemingly impossible. While I see the importance in these tests, I ultimately think they are a lot like the Houses in Harry Potter.  These are helpful tools, but for me at the end of the day (sort of like the fixed/growth mindset suggests) I'll define me.

FRST is a web-based application that supports the analysis and visualization of the expected cost, benefits, and uncertainty of a project, project scenarios, or portfolio of projects. FRST was built to assess projects that aim to re-align resources that are currently dedicated to an existing function, to a function that is deemed higher priority by the organization.
There are three interfaces associated with the FRST: "Home", "Charts", and "Projects".
You are currently on the “Home” page. It provides an explanation of the features of FRST and provides examples of how to use the tool.
The “Charts” tab illustrates projects cost and released benefit over the time period, project indicators, and project complexity and risk. You can change the project being displayed by selecting from the drop down list. You can also compare projects and project scenarios, as well as build a project portfolio.
The application allows users to input new projects and project details through the “Projects” page.
Once the user has input all project details, FRST provides some illustrative and analytical features in the “Charts” tab.
The Cost and Released Benefit is a chart that displays the estimated cost and released benefit per quarter over the time horizon estimated.
The maximum net benefit is the result of subtracting the estimated cost from the released benefit without factoring in the potential uncertainty.
The Risk and Complexity chart illustrates the areas where the higher relative risks are according to the project.
The minimum net benefit is the result of subtracting the estimated cost and released benefit while factoring in the impact of potential uncertainty.
Users can input different iterations of a similar project (i.e. higher resource levels, or different risk contexts) and compare the two projects using the drop down menu.

Appendix 1 - Other Resources¶
There are lots of great resources for learning Scheme and Lisp, and the purpose of this page is to provide you with a list of some of my favourites, with commentary on how they are for Scheme For Max.
It’s worth reminding readers here that s7 Scheme is a bit of a hybrid - it is mostly R5RS Scheme, with a smattering of functions from later Scheme standards and Common Lisp, but with Common Lisp macros and keywords. Given this, none of these books work perfectly for learning s7, hence the motivation for writing this e-book! Thus to really master s7, one is going to want to learn elements of both Scheme and Common Lisp, and to eventually read the main s7 documentation for the features that are unique to s7.
Beginner Resources¶
Simply Scheme: Introducing Computer Science
Simply Scheme is an introductory text book for learning Scheme and symbolic computing, written by Brian Harvey and Matt Wright. This book provides a well-written but thorough introduction to the language, concepts, and idioms of Scheme, and is my first recommendation for those new to the language. It does require one to load a special prelude file in order to work with some extensions developed by the authors. Some people dislike this about the book, but the prelude works without issue in S4M, and I feel the material it allows the authors to cover is very practical for S4M users. It basically consists of functions enabling symbols to be used as “words” for symbolic computing. Almost all of which is applicable to working in Max, given that Max doesn’t really have strings, so everything is a symbol. I have tested the first 10 chapters in S4M and found no issues, and Simply Scheme doesn’t get into macros, so as far as being S4M compatible, this is probably the best starting place.
The Scheme Programming Language - 3rd Ed.
This is the definitive reference manual for standard Scheme. Kent Dybvig is the author of Chez Scheme, which follows the R6RS standard, and is now the underlying Scheme engine for Racket. The 3rd edition covers the earlier and smaller R5RS Scheme standard, and is thus closer to s7. These books cover everything in the Scheme language standards and are excellent references, but are rather concise. Be warned however that there are some functions in here that are slighly different in s7, and s7 does not use the Scheme macro systems covered (syntax-case and syntax-rules).
Common Lisp: A Gentle Introduction to Symbolic Computing
So well known that it’s known in hacker circles by its initials, GISC, this book by David S. Touretzky is arguably the best free resource on learning how Lisps work and how to to think in Lisp. It also has an excellent section on Common Lisp macros, which is the macro system in s7. Most of the syntax in the book is not applicable to S4M, so it’s not a good first book. But for learning Lisp metaprogramming, whether with macros, or just using eval, apply, and friends, this is the best beginner resource.
How To Design Programs is a thorough, beginner oriented textbook introducing computer science and programming with Scheme. It uses a reduced version of Racket, so it’s not a book I recommend for learning Scheme first (use Learning Scheme!), but if you are new to programming and want to learn how to think like a programmer and develop good software design habits, this is excellent.
The Little Schemer and The Seasoned Schemer
These two have not, unfortunately, been made available free (yet!). However, they are so helpful for learning to think in Scheme that I would be remiss in skipping them. These are funny books, people either love them or hate them. They are written as a pseudo children’s puzzle book, and walk one through building Scheme programs with common patterns. If you do the exercises, you will get totally comfortable thinking recursively and using Scheme’s list building idioms. You may be able to find used or library copies and I highly recommend them for getting comfortable in Scheme to the point that recursion is as simple to you as looping.
Advanced Resources¶
This is the official s7 documentation page. It assumes you know Scheme and Lisp, and really only covers where s7 is different. If you want to figure out if something is in s7, this is the place. There is also a mailing list you can join to ask s7 specific questions (link in the docs).
Structure and Interpretation of Computer Programs
Known in hacker circles as SICP, this is the bible of Scheme programming, and is widely considered to be the single best computer science book ever written. It was originally written as an MIT textbook though, so it moves fast and has math-heavy examples. If you want to really understand why people get so excited about Scheme and Lisp, this is the book. I should say that you don’t need to understand all the math examples to keep reading and gain a lot of value from later chapters. You can watch the lectures on youtube as well now.
Paul Graham’s On Lisp is probably the best book you’ll find on writing macros in Common Lisp, which is the macro system used in s7. Paul Graham’s other book, ANSI Common Lisp is also a good resource but is not freely available.
Paradigms of Artificial Intelligence Programming
This giant tome by Peter Norvig is the third of our hacker bibles known by its initials, PAIP. This is considered a classic on advanced Lisp programming and classical AI, and also covers Scheme specifically. Covering rule-based expert systems and AI, the techniques in this book are highly applicable to complex music programming. The beginning chapters are even fairly beginner accessible and worth reading for everyone.
Coursera’s Programming Languages Course
Professor Dan Grossman has made his programming languages course on functional programming with ML, Scheme, and Ruby available free on Coursera. While I have not done this one yet, I’ve heard enough great things about it to share it here.


--- layout: post title: SAS to R Notes tags: sas data R category: Data Analysis description: Using R to test if data follows a Linear Regression Model. ---
I was working on a SAS assignment for my Regression Analysis class. The residual plot in SAS was corrupted, luckily I was able to recreate it in R. (And actually it looks better in R too.)
{% highlight r %} # read in data from file gpa.data <- read.table("GPA.txt"); # create multiple linear regression model gpa.fit <- lm(V4 ~ V1 + V2 + V3 + V5 + V6 + V7 + V8, data=gpa.data) # save residuals to a variable gpa.resid <- residuals(gpa.fit) # save Predicted values to a variable gpa.yhat <- fitted.values(gpa.fit) # create png file, that plot will be saved to. #png("resid.png") # create a plot of residuals vs predicted values plot(gpa.yhat,gpa.resid, ylab="Residuals", xlab="Predicted Values of Cum GPA", main="Plot of Residuals*Predicted Values") # create a line# abline(0,0) # write plot to file #dev.off() {% endhighlight %}


Purpose
Data Works has chosen the five of us as interns to come in and try and improve a real world process. This started as a way to help Data Works go through the hundreds of resumes that they receive every year for the internship program, but we hope that we have created something that can do a little more than that. The process of going through all the resumes that were submitted to any company is a long and tedious process, and sometimes in the end there are one or two amazing candidates. Well we have come up with a way to cut this time down to almost nothing!
Overview
Over the period of nine weeks, we have come up with an application that will make going through resumes and finding the best applicants as simple as clicking a few buttons. SmartHire will take in all of the resumes that a company receives over time, read through all of them, and assign each applicant a score. This score is based on a machine learning algorithm that builds a profile of an ideal candidate based on the user's selections. Using this score, the user can easily get an idea of whether or not the individual would be a good fit for the company. Along with the score, our application will go through the resume and pull out the applicant's name, school, GPA, degree, contact information, skills, links, and current position to help give a brief overview of the person.


Layering of an application's code-base is widely accepted technique to reduce complexity and improve re-usability. There are many implementations of layering consist of diffrent count of layers. In domain driven design, there are four fundamental layers:
There may be some additional layers if application needs. For example:
These are common layers of a domain-centric architecture. There may be minor differences in implementations.
An overall view of layers is shown below:
Layers |
|
|---|---|
| Presentation | View Models (Javascript) Views (HTML/CSS) Localization |
| Web | Web API Controllers MVC Controllers |
| Application | Application services DTOs DTO mappers |
| Domain | Entities Value objects Repositories Business classes Domain services Unit of work Domain events |
| Infrastructure | ORM DB migrations |
Others |
|
| Server side | Dependency Injection Logging |
Here, a solution with five projects for a simple application with layers:
A layer can be implemented as one or more assembly. Especially, it may be good to create more than one assembly for third-part dependencies (like NHibernate here).
This is the layer where all business rules should be implemented. Entities represents data and operations of business domain. Generally they are mapped to database tables in practice.
Repositories have collection-like interfaces and are used to retrive entities from a data source (database) and reflect changes to the database. Domain layer defined repositories but does not implement it. They are implemented in infrastructure layer.
Domain events can be used here to define domain specific events, trigger and handle them. Domain services works with entities and implements business rules those do not fit in a single entity. There may be also other business classes here.
Unit of work pattern is used to manage database connection and transaction in an application operation and automatically save changes to database at the end of the operation.
This layer should be independent of third-party libraries as much as possible.
Application layer contains application services those are used by presentation layer. An application service method gets a DTO (Data Transfer Object) as input, uses this input to perform some specific domain layer operation and returns a DTO if needed. It does not get/return entities ideally. Thus, presentation layer is abstracted from domain layer. An application service method generally considered as a unit of work. Also, validating user inputs is implemented in this layer. ASP.NET Boilerplate provides infrastructure to implement validation easily. It's suggested to use a tool for mapping entities to DTOs such as AutoMapper library. Exception handling
Domain layer just defines interface for repositories, infrastructure layer implements repositories using ORM tools like NHibernate or EntityFramework. ASP.NET Boilerplate directly provides base classes to work these frameworks. Infrastructure layer is used to abstract dependencies to third-party libraries from other layes. Database migrations can be used here.
Web layer is implemented using ASP.NET MVC and Web API. Two approaches can be implemented here: Single-Page Applications or Multi-Page Applications.
In a Single-Page web application, all resources are loaded once (or a core resource is loaded and others are lazy loaded when needed) to the client (browser), then all interaction to the server is made using AJAX calls, HTML code is generated in the client with the data received from server. Never refreshes the whole page. There are also SPA frameworks like AngularJs, DurandalJs, BackboneJs, EmberJs... and so on. ASP.NET Boilerplate can work with any of them. But provides samples and some helper mechanisms to easily work with AngularJs and DurandalJs.
In a Multi-Page (classic) web applications, client requests to the server, the server side code (ASP.NET MVC Controllers) gets data from database, (Razor views) generates HTML and sends back to the client.
A SPA and MPA are completety different architectures. In an admin panel (entered via password) is a perfect candidate for a SPA. On the other hand, a blog fits to a MPA since it should be investigated by search engines. Even there are some tools those help you to make SPAs visible by search engines, general approach is like that for now.
SignalR is a perfect tool to send push-notifications from server to the client. It can be used to provide real-time experience to the user. There are many javascript libraries & frameworks in client side. jQuery is the most popular in this area. It has thousands of free plug-ins. There are also some tools/frameworks that makes easy to work with HTML & CSS. For example, twitter bootstrap is a very popular HTML/CSS framework.
ASP.NET Boilerplate provides an infrastructure to automatically create a Web API layer from your application services and use them in javascript easily (see documentation). Provides infrastructure to manage application menu, localization and language switch. Provides a unified Javascript API to simplify showing messages and notifications.
ASP.NET Boilerplate automatically handles exceptions in server side and returns appropriate responses to clients.
ASP.NET Boilerplate strongly uses and supports Dependency Injection. It uses Castle Windsor framework for that. It also uses Log4Net for logging on server side (easily supports other logging libraries without code change using Castle's logging facility).
ASP.NET Boilerplate uses best frameworks/libraries, also adds it's classes and systems to provide you a good infrastructure to build web applications with NLayer architecture using best practices. It has also templates that can be used to easily create a layered solution as a starting point for your application.

From the last chapter, you know how to print anything on the screen. In this chapter, you will see the different ways in which we can write our code and the way we should write. Let's see these one by one.
Whitespace
In C++, whitespace refers to spaces, tabs and newlines. In some places in our code, whitespace is necessary whereas, in other places, it is just given to improve readability. For example, while writing 'int main()', it is necessary to give a space between int and main() (as they are two different words).
int main()
On the contrary, there is no need to give any space in the following statement with the output operator.
std::cout<<"Hello World";
Although we can give as many whitespaces as we want, the compiler ignores all the unnecessary whitespaces. The following code also runs just fine.
#include <iostream>
int main()
{
std::cout <<
"Hello World" ;
return 0;
}
In this example, compiler will ignore the space between std::cout and << and the newline between std::cout<< and "Hello World"; and will read the code as std::cout<<"Hello World";.
Identifiers
An identifier is the name of any user-defined element. Let's see an example first.
#include <iostream>
int main()
{
int num;
num = 2;
std::cout << num;
return 0;
}
int num; - This declares that variable num is an integer. And by this declaration, num enters into the world of our program. So, 'num' is a variable which will store some integer value.
num = 2; - We are assigning 2 to 'num'. So, now the value of 'num' is 2 (an integer).
Here, num is the name of a variable and thus is an identifier. This example was just to give you an idea of identifiers. You will learn about variables in the coming chapter.
C++ is a case-sensitive language i.e., it distinguishes between uppercase and lowercase. For example, num and Num are different identifiers in C++.
Keywords
There are some predefined reserved words in C++ which have their special meaning and thus cannot be used as identifiers. These words are called keywords.
Let's have a look at C++ keywords.
| asm | auto | bool |
| break | case | catch |
| char | class | const |
| const_cast | continue | default |
| delete | do | double |
| dynamic_cast | else | enum |
| explicit | export | extern |
| false | float | for |
| friend | goto | if |
| inline | int | long |
| mutable | namespace | new |
| operator | private | protected |
| public | register | reinterpret_cast |
| return | short | signed |
| sizeof | static | static_cast |
| struct | switch | template |
| this | throw | true |
| try | typedef | typeid |
| typename | union | unsigned |
| using | virtual | void |
| volatile | wchar_t | while |
using
We know that we write std::cout to tell the compiler that cout is defined in the std namespace. Consider a situation where we have to use cout a large number of times, then writing std:: every time before cout can be a bit annoying. To make our work easier, we use the using keyword.
We can use the using keyword in two ways.
The first one is by declaring that cout is defined in the std namespace by writing using std::cout. Look at the following example.
#include <iostream>
int main()
{
using std::cout;
cout << "Hello World" << std::endl;
cout << "This is my second line" << std::endl;
return 0;
}
This is my second line
In the above example, by writing using std::cout;, we tell the compiler that we will be using cout from the std namespace. So now, there is no need to write std::cout in the rest of the code.
cout << "Hello World" << std::endl; - In this statement, compiler will assume cout as std::cout and "Hello World" will get printed. Note that we have written std:: before endl because we didn't declare endl defined in std namespace, unlike cout.
The next statement cout << "This is my second line"; prints "This is my second line", since compiler again assumes cout as std::cout.
In the above example, using prevented us from writing std:: each time cout was used. Same as cout, many other objects (like endl, cin) are defined in the std namespace. So we can write the using declaration for all of these thus preventing ourselves from writing std:: before cout and endl again and again as in the following example.
#include <iostream>
int main()
{
using std::cout;
using std::endl;
cout << "Hello World" << endl;
cout << "This is my second line" << endl;
cout << "This is my third line" << endl;
return 0;
}
This is my second line
This is my third line
Suppose some of these objects defined in the std namespace are used frequently in our code, then declaring each of these separately belonging to the std namespace with using is not a good option. In that case, there is another way we can use the using keyword and that is by declaring that everything in the code to be defined in the std namespace. We can do this by writing using namespace std;. Let's see the following example.
#include <iostream>
int main()
{
using namespace std;
cout << "Hello World" << endl;
cout << "This is my second line" << endl;
return 0;
}
This is my second line
Here, using namespace std; tells the compiler that everything in the program will belong to the std namespace. Thus there is no need of writing std:: before cout and endl anymore. So whenever the compiler encounters cout or endl, it will assume these as std::cout and std::endl respectively.
Taking input
We make our programs for users. So, there must be some way to involve users in our program and to take input from them. In this section, you will learn to do so.
To input some value from user, we use the cin object same as we use the cout object for the output. Like cout, cin is also defined in the std namespace.
cin is also declared in iostream library (short form of input-output stream).
Look at the following example in which the user is entering some value for a variable which is then printed on the screen.
#include <iostream>
int main()
{
int n;
std::cin >> n;
std::cout << n;
return 0;
}
10
First, we declared an integer variable 'n' by writing int n;. So, now we have a variable 'n' which can store a value of an integer.
std::cin >> n; - This statement asks user to enter some value of the variable 'n'. As mentioned above, since cin is also defined in the std namespace, so we wrote std:: before cin. Its syntax is same as that of cout, except that we use the input operator >> after cin in place of the output operator ( << ) which we use in cout.
std::cout << n; - In this statement, we are simply printing the value of the variable 'n'.
Conventions
There are certain conventions which must be followed while writing a program in C++ to reduce the chances of errors and make the code more readable.
Following is a set of rules which must be followed while writing a code in C++.
- Identifier cannot be given the name of a keyword
- Identifier can consist of only letters, digits and underscore(_)
- An identifier can only start with a letter or an underscore. For example, Robin123, numVal_ and _iden are valid identifiers whereas 4num and value@ are invalid.
- We can also name a function, class or a variable in either CamelCase or underscore_case. Though it is a general convention to name methods or functions with camelCase starting with lower case. For example, getMarks(), setAge().
- The braces enclosing the body of a function should be aligned with the function name. Although it will not generate any error, but it makes our code more readable.
- Within the braces, each statement should start from a distance of one tab from the alignment of the braces.
int main()
{
}
int main()
{
std::cout << "Hello!";
return 0;
}
In theory, there is no big difference between theory and practice. But in practice, there is.
-Yogi Berra


The simplest implementation. Class of 'infocus' gets applied to the adjacent label element on focus of input. With no options specified, elements that directly preceed the focusify target receive the class name.
$('#fy_form_1').find('.focus-hook').focusify();
In this example, we specify the class name to be applied to a parent element. This allows us get a little fancier with our presentation.
$('#fy_form_2').find('.focus-hook').focusify({parent: '.fy-wrap'});
Below is an example of a much more complex implementation. We use a custom class name, as well as specifying two targets, a parent element, and an adjacent label element. This allows us to visually cue groupings, by applying emphasis on the grouping's heading and the related label. With some clever CSS, we can create some pretty sophisticated effects.
$('#fy_form_3').find('.focus-hook').focusify({ parent: 'fieldset', sibling: 'label', classname: 'multi-focus' });
We can also quickly unbind all associated focusify events by applying the 'destroy' method. Click the button below to observe this functionality on the above form.
$('#fy_form_3').find('.focus-hook').focusify('destroy');

Ohio State Is Off To A Ridiculous Start vs. Rutgers Today
by Andrew McCartyOn Saturday afternoon, Ohio State and Rutgers took the field for what figured to be the most lopsided game of the college football season.
Just a few minutes into the action, it’s clear why Las Vegas decided the Buckeyes should be 53-point favorites.
Each of Rutgers’ first two possessions ended in a turnover and a subsequent Ohio State touchdown. The Buckeyes raced out to a 14-0 lead in the first three and a half minutes of the game.
Things are not going well for the Scarlet Knights this afternoon.
Rutgers quarterback Johnny Langan completed 3-of-6 passes for just 11 yards and an interception in the first two drives. He also leads the team in rushing with 21 yards on one scamper.
Ohio State and Rutgers might want to agree to a running clock so this game doesn’t turn as ugly as it could.
Stay tuned for the latest.

Not just any old croissants, either:
This picture is taken from the Vintage Images section of a thoroughly recommended site called art-e-zine.  Here at Hooting Yard we have been inspired by the idea of making Matchbox Shrines. Currently in the works are shrines devoted to Blodwyn Pig, Ricardo Montalban, Emily Dickinson, Lamont Cranston, Gerard Manley Hopkins, Neil Sedaka, Dobson, and, of course, Yoko Ono. Pictures of these frighteningly exquisite works will be posted as soon as they're done. We are also toying with a special double-matchbox shrine devoted to Sting and Bono, which will be called All Hail The Shattered Dignity Of Messrs Sumner & Hewson. It will be splattered with some sort of goo, I expect.

Using The Exploit
Usage is currently operating system dependent.
It is also a bit flaky sometimes, due to the quirks in how Windows handles proxy settings and the WPAD file. Often when the exploit doesn’t work, it is required to leave it running and wait. When Windows already has a cached entry for WPAD, or is allowing direct internet access because no WPAD was found, it could take 30-60 minutes for it to refresh the WPAD file. It is necessary to leave the exploit running and try to trigger it again later, after this time has elapsed.
Windows 7
Fairly reliably exploited through the Windows Defender update mechanism.
Potato.exe has code to automatically trigger this. Simply run the following:
Potato.exe -ip -cmd [cmd to run] -disable_exhaust true
This will spin up the NBNS spoofer, spoof “WPAD” to <IP_ADDRESS>, then check for Windows Defender updates.
If your network has a DNS entry for “WPAD” already, you can try “-disable_exhaust false”. This should cause the DNS lookup (through DNS port exhaustion) to fail and it should fallback to NBNS. This seems to work pretty reliably on Windows 7.
Windows Server 2008
Since Windows Server doesn’t come with Defender, we need an alternate method. Instead we’ll simply check for Windows updates. The other caveat is that, at least on my domain, Server 2K8 wanted WPAD.DOMAIN.TLD instead of just WPAD. The following is an example usage:
<br />Potato.exe -ip -cmd [cmd to run] -disable_exhaust true -disable_defender true -spoof_host WPAD.EMC.LOCAL
After this runs successfully, simply check for Windows updates. If it doesn’t trigger, wait about 30m with the exploit running and check again. If it still doesn’t work, try actually downloading an update.
If your network has a DNS entry for “WPAD” already, you can try “-disable_exhaust false”, however it might break things here.  The Windows Update process may need to do a few DNS lookups before reaching out for WPAD. You would have to nail the timing JUST right to get it working in this case.
Windows 8/10/Server 2012
In the newest versions of Windows, it appears that Windows Update may no longer respect the proxy settings set in “Internet Options”, or check for WPAD. Instead proxy settings for Windows Update are controlled using “netsh winhttp proxy…”
Instead for these versions, we rely on a newer feature of Windows, the “automatic updater of untrusted certificates”. Details can be found https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/2677070 and https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dn265983.aspx
From the technet article “The Windows Server 2012 R2, Windows Server 2012, Windows 8.1, and Windows 8 operating systems include an automatic update mechanism that downloads certificate trust lists (CTLs) on a daily basis.”
It appears that this part of Windows still uses WPAD, even when the winhttp proxy setting is set to direct. Why is a bit of a mystery…
In this case the usage of Potato is as follows:
Potato.exe -ip -cmd [cmd to run] -disable_exhaust true -disable_defender true
At this point, you will need to wait up to 24hrs or find another way to trigger this update.
If your network has a DNS entry for “WPAD” already, refer to the documentation for this situation in Server 2008. You can try port exhaustion but it might be tricky.

Accessing the Temperature Control Laboratory¶
Importing tclab
¶
Once installed the package can be imported into Python and an instance created with the Python statements
import tclab
lab = tclab.TCLab()
tclab.setup()
creates an instance of a class the provides access to
temperature measurements, heaters, and led on board the Temperature
Control Laboratory. When called with no arguments, attempts to find a
device connected to a serial port and returns a connection. An error is
generated if no device is found. The connection should be closed with
lab.close()
when no longer in use. The following cell demonstrates this process, and
uses the tclab LED()
function to flash the LED on the Temperature
Control Lab for a period of 10 seconds at a 100% brightness level.
In [1]:
import tclab
lab = tclab.TCLab()
lab.LED(100)
lab.close()
Arduino Leonardo connected on port /dev/cu.usbmodemWUAR1 at 115200 baud.
TCLab Firmware 1.3.0 Arduino Leonardo/Micro.
TCLab disconnected successfully.
Using TCLab with Python’s with
statement¶
The Python with
statement provides a simple means of setting up and
closing a connection to the Temperature Control Laboratory. The with
statement establishes a context where a tclab instance is created,
assigned to a variable, and automatically closed upon completion.
In [2]:
import tclab
with tclab.TCLab() as lab:
lab.LED(100)
Arduino Leonardo connected on port /dev/cu.usbmodemWUAR1 at 115200 baud.
TCLab Firmware 1.3.0 Arduino Leonardo/Micro.
TCLab disconnected successfully.
The with
statement is likely to be the most common way to connect
the Temperature Control Laboratory for most uses.
Reading Temperatures¶
Once a tclab instance is created and connected to a device, the
temperature sensors on the temperature control lab can be acccessed with
the attributes .T1
and .T2
. For example, given an instance
lab
, the temperatures are accessed as
T1 = lab.T1
T2 = a.T2
Note that lab.T1
and lab.T2
are read-only properties. Any
attempt to set them to a value will return a Python error.
In [3]:
import tclab
with tclab.TCLab() as lab:
print("Temperature 1: {0:0.2f} °C".format(lab.T1))
print("Temperature 2: {0:0.2f} °C".format(lab.T2))
Arduino Leonardo connected on port /dev/cu.usbmodemWUAR1 at 115200 baud.
TCLab Firmware 1.3.0 Arduino Leonardo/Micro.
Temperature 1: 24.77 °C
Temperature 2: 24.45 °C
TCLab disconnected successfully.
Setting Heaters¶
The heaters are controlled by functions .Q1()
and .Q2()
of a
tclab instance. For example, both heaters can be set to 100% power with
the functions
lab.Q1(100)
lab.Q2(100)
The device firmware limits the heaters to a range of 0 to 100%. The current value of attributes may be accessed via
Q1 = lab.Q1()
Q2 = lab.Q2()
Note that the retrieved values may be different due to the range-limiting enforced by the device firmware.
Alternatively, the heaters can also be specified with the properties
.U1
and .U2
. Thus setting
lab.U1 = 100
lab.U2 = 100
would set both heaters to 100% power. The current value of the heaters can be accessed as
print("Current setting of heater 1 is", lab.U1, "%")
print("Current setting of heater 2 is", lab.U2, "%")
The choice to use a function (i.e, .Q1()
and .Q2()
) or a
property (i.e, .U1
or .U2
) to set and access heater settings is
a matter of user preference.
In [4]:
import tclab
import time
with tclab.TCLab() as lab:
print("\nStarting Temperature 1: {0:0.2f} °C".format(lab.T1),flush=True)
print("Starting Temperature 2: {0:0.2f} °C".format(lab.T2),flush=True)
lab.Q1(100)
lab.Q2(100)
print("\nSet Heater 1:", lab.Q1(), "%",flush=True)
print("Set Heater 2:", lab.Q2(), "%",flush=True)
t_heat = 30
print("\nHeat for", t_heat, "seconds")
time.sleep(t_heat)
print("\nTurn Heaters Off")
lab.Q1(0)
lab.Q2(0)
print("\nSet Heater 1:", lab.Q1(), "%",flush=True)
print("Set Heater 2:", lab.Q2(), "%",flush=True)
print("\nFinal Temperature 1: {0:0.2f} °C".format(lab.T1))
print("Final Temperature 2: {0:0.2f} °C".format(lab.T2))

TCLab disconnected successfully.
Setting Maximum Heater Power¶
The control inputs to the heaters power is normally set with functions
.Q1()
and .Q2()
(or properties .U1
and .U2
) specifying a
value in a range from 0 to 100% of maximum heater power.
The values of maximum heater power are specified in firmware with values
in the range from 0 to 255. The default values are 200 for heater 1 and
100 for heater 2. The maximum heater power can be retrieved and set by
properties P1
and P2
. The following code, for example, sets both
heaters to a maximum power of 100.
In [5]:
import tclab
with tclab.TCLab() as lab:
print("Maximum power of heater 1 = ", lab.P1)
print("Maximum power of heater 2 = ", lab.P2)
print("Adjusting the maximum power of heater 1.")
lab.P1 = 100
print("Maximum power of heater 1 = ", lab.P1)
print("Maximum power of heater 2 = ", lab.P2)
Arduino Leonardo connected on port /dev/cu.usbmodemWUAR1 at 115200 baud.
TCLab Firmware 1.3.0 Arduino Leonardo/Micro.
Maximum power of heater 1 = 200.0
Maximum power of heater 2 = 100.0
Adjusting the maximum power of heater 1.
Maximum power of heater 1 = 100.0
Maximum power of heater 2 = 100.0
TCLab disconnected successfully.
The actual power supplied to the heaters is a function of the power supply voltage applied to the Temperature Control Lab shield,
The maximum power applied to the heaters is a product of the settings
(P1
,P2
) and of the power supply used with the TCLab hardware.
The TCLab hardware is normally used with a 5 watt USB power supply
capable of supply up to 1 amp at 5 volts.
The TCLab hardware actually draws more than 1 amp when both P1
and
P2
are set to 255 and Q1
and Q2
are at 100%. This situation
will overload the power supply and result in the power supply shutting
down. Normally the power supply will reset itself after unplugging from
the power mains.
Experience with the device shows keeping the sum P1
and P2
to a
value less than 300 will avoid problems with the 5 watt power supply. If
you have access to larger power supplies, then you can adjust P1
and
P2
accordingly to achieve a wider range of temperatures.

RLJE Films Bringing Halloween Slasher ‘Trick’ to Blu-ray and DVD in December
by Brad MiskaWriter Todd Farmer and director Patrick Lussier, who collaborated on My Bloody Valentine 3D and Drive Angry, reteamed on Trick, a brand new Halloween-themed horror film that will now arrive on DVD and Blu-ray December 17, 2019, via RLJE Films.
The home video release will include the following special feature: “The Making of Trick Featuring Interviews with the Cast and Crew.”
The film stars Omar Epps in the main role of Detective Mike Denver, a man obsessed with a killer – named Trick Weaver – who has eluded him.
I spoke with Lussier back in May about Trick where he revealed some details about the film’s slasher, Trick Weaver, who kills as performance art.
Unfortunately, Meagan wasn’t a fan, and wrote in her review that the film “offers up no Halloween treats.”

Here are all the devices where you can stream Disney+, including PS4 and Xbox One
Video games!
by Chris CarterDid you hear that Disney is creating a new streaming channel? Yep, in this age of endless streaming "options" you can subscribe to Disney+ starting Tuesday, which will run you $6.99 a month and grant you access to a bunch of old Disney/Star Wars/Marvel content and a ton of new TV and film projects going forward.
As a note, you can grab an app for the service next week on PS4 and Xbox One, as well as all of the devices below (Switch hasn't entered the streaming game...yet?!). Amazon Fire TV was just added to the list a few days ago, as Disney and Amazon finally struck a deal that satisfied both parties (for a while there it seemed like it was going to be one of the only nixed devices).
- Amazon Fire TV
- Android
- Apple TV
- Chromecast
- iOS
- LG Smart TVs
- PS4
- Roku
- Samsung Smart TVs
- Xbox
I've had media access to Disney+ for a bit, and as expected, most of the content is geared toward families.
Lady and the Tramp is a not-bad live action film so long as you're expecting nothing more than a carefree hour and a half romp, The Imagineering Story is an in-depth, well-crafted (if one-sided) look at Disney history, and The World According to Jeff Goldblum is basically a "background noise" show like Guy Fieri's Diner's Drive-ins and Dives, if Guy also covered jeans, sneakers and tattoos. Screeners for The Mandalorian were not provided to most media "for fear of spoilers," but that could also mean something else, as we all know by now having witnessed a bunch of game review embargoes come and go.
Having full access to The Simpsons, ad-free for the first time in its entirety (man Simpsons World sucked), will make up for it I'm sure.


This is the 2nd sneak preview of common_schema’s rdebug: debugger & debugging API for MySQL stored routines (see 1st preview here).
rdebug will be released as part of common_schema, free and open sourced.
In this sneak preview I present:
- Compiling multiple routines with debug info
- Starting/stopping a debug session
- Step-over, step-in, step-out
- Showing stack trace
- Showing the next-statement to execute
- Viewing and manipulating local routine variables
- Misc. meta routines
The quick technical overview
rdebug is a server-side mechanism, itself written in MySQL stored routines. It manipulates your routines by injecting debug code (easily removed afterwards).
To debug a routine you will need two connections: one is the debugging connection, and the other is the worker connection. The debugger connection attaches itself to the worker connection, where your routines execute.
rdebug is controlled by an API of stored routines. This means any GUI tool may choose to use rdebug as its routine debugging mechanism. Your are not bound to a specific tool, a specific OS or framework. You may choose to invoke the API via command line, if you like; it’s all in your server.
A video is worth a thousand blogs
This is a sneak peek video introduction/preview of an in-development free and open source server side debugger & debugging API for MySQL stored routines.
MySQL does not provide server side debugging capabilities for stored routines. Some tools exist, including MySQL’s own, that assist in stored routine debugging. These are all GUI based and, to the best of my knowledge, MS Windows based. There is one solution in alpha stage that is developed for Java/eclipse; I did not look at the code. See discussion here and here.
An ideal solution would be to have debugging API in the server itself - independently of your client, programming language or operating system. To the best of my knowledge, nothing like that is being developed.
I’m now presenting a rdebug: a stored routines server-side debugger, Pure-SQL, based on stored routines. rdebug is developed as part of common_schema, and actually relies on some of its power.
Like some other tools, it uses code injection and manipulation: it injects debugging info into your stored routine. You need to “compile” your routine with debugging info.
Unlike some other tools, it actually runs your stored routines. It does not mimic or simulate them on client side. It does not break them into smaller routines, attempting to assemble the original behavior from lego bricks.
The quick technical overview is that you use two processes (MySQL threads): the worker process running the routine (your natural call my_routine()), and the debugger process. The debugger process attaches itself to the worker process; it controls the worker by commands like “step over”; it gets data from the worker: what’s the current stack trace? What variables are now available and what are their values?; it manipulates the worker’s data: it can utilize breakpoints to modify worker’s local & session variables.

This game is based on obstacles from American Ninja Warrior. It involves controlling the player by having them run, jump from wall to wall over various obstacles. When the user engages with the arrow keys (LEFT | RIGHT | UP | DOWN), the player will move in the direction of the arrow key. The users’ high scores could be traced through the Firebase and their login information.
The game will have targets that requires the player to move as fast as possible to collect stars and each star will give a score of 10. The goal will be to get every star that appears. If you hit obstacles more than three times or you let a target time out, the game ends! The technology used in the development of the game includes Phaser.io, Express.js, Firebase, MySQL, MVC, ORM and User Authentication
