![]() Each of these social facts serves one or more functions within a society. Social facts are the laws, morals, values, religious beliefs, customs, fashions, rituals, and all of the cultural rules that govern social life (Durkheim 1895). Durkheim believed that individuals may make up society, but in order to study society, sociologists have to look beyond individuals to social facts. Durkheim believed that society is a complex system of interrelated and interdependent parts that work together to maintain stability (Durkheim 1893), and that society is held together by shared values, languages, and symbols. Émile Durkheim, another early sociologist, applied Spencer’s theory to explain how societies change and survive over time. The parts of society that Spencer referred to were the social institutions, or patterns of beliefs and behaviors focused on meeting social needs, such as government, education, family, healthcare, religion, and the economy. He argued that just as the various organs of the body work together to keep the body functioning, the various parts of society work together to keep society functioning (Spencer 1898). Functionalism grew out of the writings of English philosopher and biologist, Hebert Spencer (1820–1903), who saw similarities between society and the human body. Structural-functional theory, also called functionalism, sees society as a structure with interrelated parts designed to meet the biological and social needs of the individuals in that society. ![]() Functionalism emphasizes how various social institutions work together to meet the needs of a society. ![]() Choosing just 100 graphs was nearly impossible, but we expect you’ll be as inspired by them as we are.Īs you explore the gallery, be on the lookout for the small details and bits of magic you’ll find scattered throughoutĪrtist statements and notes. We were blown away by the artistry, care, and ingenuity onĭisplay this year. We also plan to partner with schools, especially K-12 schools around the nation, in order to spread and promote the creativity of stem+art.Update February 1, 2024: The gallery is live! In the future, we hope to further optimize the desmos art generator algorithm as it struggles with identifying some edge features and corner shapes of images. We also figured out how to use React.js, and how to implement it alongside an Express/Node.js backend server. We learned about computer vision techniques such as the Sobel edge detection, convolutions, and Gaussian filters. We are also proud that we were able to implement the desmos output into the web app for users to try out. Since we are beginners at React.js and at converting images into desmos graph format, we are proud of the fact that we worked together to upload a working prototype of the desmos art generator. Additionally, we were somewhat inexperienced with React, and it had caused us a lot of trouble at the beginning. Dealing with the ill-documented Potrace library was especially painful, since it was extremely picky about its inputs and had next to no example scripts online. The main challenge we ran into was the integration between the desmos interface and the replit web app. In addition, we utilized Canva to produce sleek and aesthetic UI/UX design. ![]() The algorithm for determining the edges and shapes in each drawing is called the Sobel edge detector (implemented in-house) and we utilized the potrace library to convert the bitmapped image into a smooth, scalable graphic image. We also used replit to create and host our web app. Our Desmos Art Generator web app was built on the collaborative IDE and used the web-based frameworks HTML, CSS, React.js, and JavaScript, Node.js, and Express. Recently, after furthering our knowledge with web app languages and the functionalities of desmos and processing.js, we decided to create a desmos art generator for the hackathon. TLDR: You can upload an image and our website turns it into a Desmos graph How we built it Overall, Desmos Art Generator provides a convenient and affordable way for users to express their creativity and artistry. The how to page also covers how our generator works with a diagram and explanation. The about page has information about our mission and future plans for Desmos Art Generator. They can also make minor changes to the image in desmos if necessary. In addition, the output includes the exact equations of the curves and lines so users can replicate the image themselves using and save it. After learning the locations of the edges, the algorithm then finds the curve equations that replicate it, before it outputs to the user a desmos graph version of the image - that is, the image in the form of hundreds of desmos equations put together. The algorithm highlights the edges within the drawing/image, so it could be traced by a tracing library called Potrace. The image is then processed and passed through a computer vision algorithm called sobel edge detection, which used convolutions and a Gaussian filter. When a user opens Desmos Art Generator, they will see its information and how-to-guide of our generator and are prompted to upload a picture of any image or drawing. ![]() With the power of computer vision, math, and a pinch of artistic talent, with our generator, anyone can create their own art on a Desmos canvas! What it doesĭesmos Art Generator is a web app that ensures that all users can always have a platform to express their creativity by visualizing their drawings. Since expressing creativity for both students and adults alike is important for bonding together, education, and for expressing experiences, stories, and emotions, we decided to create from scratch a desmos art generator for the hackathon. In our math classes, we have explored using Desmos graphs to create drawings such as snowmen and utilized processing.js to code scenery and houses. Many of us in our hackathon team are both technology, STEM, and art enthusiasts ourselves every time we see novel and astounding interdisciplinary tech/stem+art creations, such as Google’s Quick Draw, it always blows us away to see how creative and mesmerizing they are. ![]() ![]() You can create your own music video, add meaningful captions, and combine over 64 shots into one beautiful photo or video collage!

![]() Seeing this visibly disturbs 2B, despite 9S' insistence that the machines don't have actual emotions. During their endeavors, 2B and 9S notice how many of their machine lifeform enemies are docile, with some having begun to take on human traits. Realizing that 9S has forgotten her yet again, 2B clenches her fist in frustration.Īfter having her boot sequence taken care of by 9S, the pair are sent to Earth in order to provide reconnaissance information and establish contact with the Resistance planetside. However, as there wasn't enough bandwidth and time, 9S only managed to send 2B's memories with his only intact up to the point of before meeting her. It is revealed that after detonating their black boxes, 2B's data was uploaded back to the Bunker and transferred to a new body, ensuring her survival. Faced with overwhelming odds, the pair are forced to detonate their black boxes in order to destroy the Goliaths. After the target is destroyed, 2B and 9S reunite, only for three more Engels machines to appear and attack them. 9S implores her to leave him to finish the mission and 2B hesitantly complies. After 2B makes her way to the top the briefly disabled Goliath, she finds a mortally wounded 9S and is briefly overcome with emotion in an attempt to save him. A fight ensues and 9S is severely damaged in the process. The pair explore the factory and are unable to find their target until it comes to life on the outskirts of the building. After becoming the only survivor of the assault, she meets up with her assigned Scanner, 9S. ![]() Over the course of hundreds of operations, 2B was forced to kill 9S and wipe his memory countless times, an act that she came to hate for the pain it caused her after bonding with him over that time.ĢB, along with a squadron of other YoRHa units, is sent to the Abandoned Factory to eliminate a Goliath-class target. She was given the designation of 2B as a cover by the Commander, who gave her orders to observe one of the new Scanner models in action during YoRHa's operations against the machines.ĢB's role was to ensure that 9S would not discover the true nature of Project YoRHa by executing him in case he dug too deep because of the natural curiosity programmed into him. 6.3 War of the Visions: Final Fantasy Brave ExviusĢB was created an unspecified amount of times before the events of the game as part of the new line of YoRHa androids. ![]() McLean Jewelry is located at 180 North Ocean Ave. Celebrity Furniture Designer, American Craftsman, TV Host, Public. “Cayucos is a magical town - it’s a great place to live, and it’s been a great place to work.” Tim McClellan Designs, Cottonwood, Arizona. “In the summertime, we collected two pounds of cigarette butts per week.”įirmly dedicated to his Cayucos home, McLean may be changing the way his business runs, but he’s happy where he is. “I emptied them for quite a while then volunteers came on board to carry the torch,” he said.

It is a single file containing more than 94,000 lines of code, which was decompiled sometime before September 2011. The earliest attempts involved decompiling the game in hopes of receiving source code that could be recompiled afterward. X in April 2011, there have been many attempts to revive the development of the game. ![]() However, this beta had been given to beta testers who were on the official forum previously, and was not a sign of new development.Īn Aside to Part 1, about Kyasarin and Luminous:Īfter Redigit abandoned Super Mario Bros. Members gathered on other forums made by former users of, and the beta was leaked for the upcoming version of SMBX, which could read NPC txt files. X halted at version 1.2.2 for a few months, nothing was heard from SMBX development. Versions following the 1.2 release introduced the playable characters Peach, Toad, and Link.Įventually, the harshness of the administration heavily backfired on the well-being of the community, and around the end of July Redigit decided to retire the forums. Version 1.2 was released, featuring new NPCs, a weak form of multiplayer in the editor, and an updated version of The Invasion designed around all the new features. Beta 4 was released in April 2010, featuring moving layers and water. (shortly thereafter, Redigit realized his forum was not COPPA-compliant, and thus a good half of the userbase was banned) Two more betas quickly followed, the latter of which introduced the metroid content in the game, as well as sliding functionality on slopes. At one point, users could be permabanned with as little as three warnings beforehand, and there were considerations on bringing it down to two.Ī beta for version 1.2 was released in December, featuring elements such as custom graphics and slopes. Users were held up to strict expectations, and falling out of line meant instant warnings, and bans for repeated offenses. X, was unsure of how to moderate the forums properly, and out of sheer necessity for mature staff he promoted Kyasarin and Luminous to moderator position, and later they became administrators.Īs staff of the forums, Kyasarin and Luminous ruled with an iron fist. Redigit, the administrator of the website and sole developer of Super Mario Bros. They quickly created tension on the forums with their blunt attitudes, and began a period of distress in what was previously a peaceful environment. Unlike most members of the forum, who were childish and immature, these two were civilized, but easily agitated teenagers. Spinjump was added in 1.1.2.ĭuring the development of 1.1.3 (which would later stall into the release of 1.2), Kyasarin and Luminous joined the forum. Version 1.1 featured the alternative types of yoshis from Super Mario World, as well as the pink, purple and black yoshis. ![]() Nevertheless, as the forum grew and suggestions were made, so the game grew. You can see what designing under these restrictions was like if you play The Invasion, SMBX's first official episode. The Fire flower and Tanooki leaf were the only powerups in the game. Mario and Luigi were the only playable characters, and Luigi played exactly the same as Mario. There were no lua capabilities, there were no NPC TXT customizations, there was no slopes, water, quicksand, or ice, there were no custom graphics, and the array of NPCs was vastly limited. The game was first released with very few features in comparison to what we have today. ![]() I myself also joined this forum around September 2009. In addition, a new forum was created simultaneous to the fangame's release, where notable users joined such as Quill (creator of Apocalypse of Foroze, judge of MaGLX2) and Zephyr (creator of The Great Castle Adventure, SMB: A New Beginning, Mario Classic, and head director of Return to Yoshi's Island). Where flash games inhabited the top of the front page before, now Super Mario Bros. In July, this humble state of the site changed with the introduction of its own fangame, Super Mario Bros. One of such sites was, a site that not only provided mario flash games, but also various other media such as music, videos, wallpapers, and even downloads to a few popular mario fangames at the time, such as Mario Forever and Super Mario War. Mario flash games were all the rage, and many sites tried their hardest to provide as many flash games as they could. ![]() Going from 0 to 25% damage reduction will improve your EHP by 33%. This formulae suggests that there is an accelerating effect on %damage_reduction. ![]() Then your effective hit points (commonly shorted as EHP) - that is - the raw amount of damage you can take before dying - will be: Let's say you have X health and some %damage_reduction. You can stack %reflect to get insane amount of it, say, 90% and more. An interesting thing about %reflection stacking is that it doesn't have a hard cap.While the latter ones could be re-reflected, auto-hit ones could not. After being reflected, while projectiles with a straight trajectory is reflected at it's source.Homing or curved projectiles are usually receive a random direction Some projectiles are reflected as auto-hits, they can't be physically evaded. The reflected projectile behaviour is somewhat ambiguous.If character have multiple sources of missile reflection, the %damage is an average of sources, weighted with corresponding %reflect chance of the source.Except that, unlike skills, reflected projectiles can fumble. Damage of the reflected projectile is based on your weapon damage, not projectile's original damage, and work the same way as %weapon dps skills.I've tried to find a complete list, but no luck there. One should be very careful, not everything that appears to be a missile could be reflected. A huge single chunk of %reflect is very good though. Plain additive stacking the more %reflect you stacked already. etc for every source of missle reflect ).The practical view of it is that you lose some portion of %reflect compared to The simplest use is to bold game names in your comment and add " /u/r2d8 getinfo" at the end of the post, but this post/sub has other features identified.
