![]() ![]() It would have been nice if the smaller standalone ‘Alan Wake’s American Nightmare’ game could have been included in the remaster too, but time and budget restraints may have led to this being unfeasible right now.Ĭredit: Remedy Entertainment/Epic Games ‘THE BEST VERSION OF THE GAME TO DATE’ While not too story-heavy, they build upon the combat and puzzle design of the original game and feature some wacky levels to explore. Including the DLC specials ‘The Signal’ and ‘The Writer’ for no extra charge is an expected but welcome addition. Other awkward things from the original game that have carried over to the remaster include Alan’s weak stamina, in which he can’t sprint for longer than a brisk walk before tiring out, and audio mixing problems that makes some dialogue hard to hear. While that game suffered a similar problem of having enemies rely too much on shields, the number of weapons and abilities Jesse Faden had at her disposal made those systems fun to engage with. It certainly feels like a step backwards if you’ve just come from Control. In fact, Remedy purposefully aimed not to change a whole lot in Alan Wake Remastered from the original. ![]() ![]() That hasn’t changed at all in the remaster. There’s no diversity in how you tackle each encounter, with the only really difference between enemy types being how strong their health and shields are.Ĭredit: Remedy Entertainment/Epic Games HOW MUCH HAS CHANGED? It’s also the weakest part of the game, with a rinse-and-repeat style to each enemy approach. You use light sources like torches and flares to deplete their shields, and then pop a few bullets to disperse them. Called the ‘Taken’, these enemies are defenceless against light. Set across six episodes (and two bonus DLC episodes), you explore the town of Bright Falls and its surrounding woods and nature trails trying to piece together the mystery and defeat the evil presence.įor the most part, this includes hiking through the woods defeating enemies that the Dark Presence is sending after you. The game is a mystery thriller that follows the titular Alan Wake trying to solve the disappearance of his wife who has been taken by a dark supernatural force. So, for those who are coming to Alan Wake for the first time with the remaster, what is it actually like? ![]()

![]() ![]() Build at least 4 BCs and a group of Valkyries or Wraiths to cover them (Valkyries are better against massed air units, but wraiths will deal with pesky hydralisks on the ground.). Once your base is secured with bunkers and siege tanks, making sure to cover all the entrances, as you'll discover any weaknesses as soon as the Torrasque shows up, you can climb the tech tree towards Battlecruisers and Yamatos. Very rarely, a couple guardians will attack, so keep a few valkyries or wraiths handy to counter them. The occasional six-pack of hydralisks, a wave of zerglings, and sometimes a group of mutalisks to mix things up. Fortunately, the rest of their offense is fairly light. They can take out a bunker easily if they get close, but your siege tanks will get them first. ![]() However, once you destroy the other two, it will start to send Infested Terrans. The orange cerebrate is near the Overmind, and will mainly keep to itself. Make sure you have plenty of bunkers and siege tanks around your base, and expect to lose some a few times before you get the hang of it. The Torrasque is "a whole cargo-ship of whoop-ass," in your Marines' words, and will respawn every so often to rip apart your defenses. The brown cerebrate (northeast) will send out the Torrasque periodically. While there's a ring of unbuildable terrain around your base to stop you from doing anything stupid, you won't get any ground attacks out until that's dealt with. The red cerebrate (northwest) makes the sunken colonies around your base invulnerable. There are 3 cerebrates here, each with different powerful abilities. Nonetheless, to ensure victory over the Zerg, DuGalle orders you to take down the Cerebrates and the defenders as well as to bring Medics to the Overmind for Neurostim treatment. Duran is just starting his treachery against the UED, and he's out there somewhere.

On Monday, his new teammates (or at least the ones who had never played with him before) got a little taste of Messi's talent during his first proper collective training session. On Sunday, he took part in a few "rondos" and then he humbled midfielder Idrissa Gueye at Teqball, the sport that combines soccer with table tennis and is played on a curved table. While he's adjusting to the city and its spoils, it's also time for him to get back to work. They made the short trip from Avenue Hoche to Avenue de Wagram, on the other side of the Arc de Triomphe, and again, no-one bothered them apart from two young fans, for whom he signed autographs at the restaurant.

For example, OpenAI Codex is most fluent in Python but is also quite capable in several languages, including JavaScript, Ruby, and TypeScript. What is AI code written in?ĪI code is written in languages supported by the AI code generator. That said, the popularity of these tools means that they can’t be overlooked. In other words, AI code tools are not yet completely safe to use. Plus, questions around copyright are not entirely resolved. That's why AI coding tools are used to help developers become more productive and efficient, rather than to replace them entirely.įor example, a Stanford-affiliated research team found that engineers who use AI tools are more likely to cause security vulnerabilities in their apps. However, there are problems with code generators, too. ![]() ![]() You see, AlphaCode outperformed 45% of programmers in coding competitions with at least 5,000 participants. Interestingly, this tool outperforms human coders in certain situations. That said, the tool is in beta and so results will vary.ĪlphaCode by DeepMind is another tool that is shaking up the industry. This makes it possible to build on top of the existing application with a natural language interface.Īs a general-purpose programming model, OpenAI Codex can be applied to almost any programming task. OpenAI Codex is capable of interpreting simple commands in natural language and carrying them out for the programmer. Codex powers GitHub Copilot, another popular AI code tool. One of the most popular tools is Open AI’s Codex, an AI system that translates natural language to code. They also perform tasks like offering assistance in auto-generating documentation and finding code snippets faster. These AI programs can write their own programs or even translate from one programming language to another. Let’s start from the beginning:ĪI code is code written by artificial intelligence (AI). Yes, it is possible to code with AI tools. Want to learn more? Read on! What is AI code? And today, you’ll learn which code generators are the best ones out there for creating high-quality code with the help of artificial intelligence. AI coding tools are becoming standard practice for many developers. ![]() ![]() ![]() Note: Usually if the scale is listed in the metadata, FIJI will scale the images automatically upon opening. Again, how it is listed may varry with file type. You will find the scale information listed here if it was in the image metadata. This is useful if you dont need bio-formats importer to open your image. So this gives us the scale of 0.454545 pixels per micron.Īs shown previously you can also find information from the metadata by going to Image -> Show Info (or shortcut Ctrl + I). In this example, if we scroll downt he metadata, we come to the units, listed as microns, and below that, the scale shown as X and Y resolutions of 0.454545. How it is listed will be dependent on the file type. The scale information can look different in the metadata of one file compared to another. To find the calibration in the metadata, ensure Display Metadata is selected in the bio-formats options as previously described. When opening a file using bio-formats importer you can also find the calibration in the metadata, although this can sometimes be hard to find within the long list of parameters. You do no need to make any changes here, select OK or close the window to exit. Under Set Scale the calibration (pixels/micron) is the inverse of that shown under image properties (microns/pixel). Here you will also find the dimensions correctly populated from the metadata if your image was already calibrated. You can also find the calibrated scale, this time in pixels/micron, by going to Analyze -> Set Scale. This will open a display window showing the dimensions of the image and the scale will be automatically populated at the correct size.įor this image we see the scale is automatically set at 2.2microns/pixel. In a calibrated image you can find the scale in microns/pixel by going to Image -> Properties (or use shortcut Ctrl+Shift+P). If the scale is already calibrated the dimensions shown on the image will be in microns instead of pixels. This is usually the case for images originally saved in the raw file format. In some circumstances FIJI will be able to calibrate your image automatically by reading the attached metadata. Finding Scale Information in the Image Properties This section uses the images Interstitium 2.tif and TrichromeIHC.tif for demonstration. We will also demonstrate how to add a scale bar and how to crop and resize images without altering the image data. In this section we will show you how to find calibration information from the image, and how to set the scale if the image is not calibrated. Calibration is also important when resizing your images. Calibrating an image is also important if you want to get meaningful size-related measurements out of the image in any later analysis. This allows the viewer to see the scale of the image being presented and make their own conclusions about the data. For proper presentation of images it is essential to include a scale bar. ![]() ![]() ![]() Now all that is left is to confirm your choice by selecting Always use this app to open SPY files and clicking OK.
