![]() However all it managed to do at launch was bring EA’s inadequate servers down, which was a major problem considering it required you to remain online at all times if you wished to play. This engine replaced simulating general values and creating visuals to match them with simulating actual individual agents, citizens if you will, and then calculating the rest based on their actions. The 2013 SimCity reboot, developed by Maxis and published by EA for the PC and Mac, was supposed to bring the simulation to the next level with its GlassBox engine. Speaking of ambition and failure, let’s talk about one of the biggest disappointments EA has ever been responsible for(and that’s saying something). That said, for a Facebook game it was a relatively fun resource management game with a pretty art-style, at the very least worthy of mentioning in this list. It was released in June 2012 but only ran for about a year until EA decided to shut it down to focus on other projects.Īs you may expect from a Facebook game, it suffered from the classic maladies such as micro-transactions and a very simple game-play designed to entertain your half-dead gray matter while you were on the page. ![]() On the contrary, you’d have to pull some complicated stunts in order to run this Facebook game. Well truth be told, it’s not like you need to do anything to avoid SimCity Social. And when we do, we want to have the best time possible.įor that very reason I’ve decided to rank all the main SimCity games so you can best choose which games to pour your time into. ![]() SimCity, in most of its forms, is an amazing and immersive experience that’s given most of us irreplaceable memories.īut let’s be real: most of us don’t usually have the time to watch a city go from population 1 to bustling metropolis. ![]() Hours upon hours poured into designing the perfect city, setting down roads and planning districts, enacting policies for the good of the people and preparing for the disasters on the horizon. Glued to our screens, mortal bodies left behind in favor of a hovering camera connected to our immortal mayor brain. Nowadays video games about designing and managing your own space station, prison, mine or even amusement park are a dime a dozen.īut this simulation fever wasn’t always around, and I think it’s appropriate to give some love to the franchise that started it all: SimCity. ![]()

![]() ![]() It is also the tiling of the line by an infinite number of line segments in other words, it is the 1-dimensional hypercubic honeycomb. All regular decagons have the same shape, like this: An irregular decagon is a 10 sides shape where not every side and angle are equal. A regular decagon is a 10-sided shape where every side is the same length and every corner has the same angle. As there are is infinite number of them this would not be possible. A decagon is a flat shape with 10 straight sides. Further, whist many polygons have specific names many do not. The preferred (and commonly accpeted) name of a normal 11-sided polygon is 'hendecagon'. The names would be 4-gon, or quadrilateral, 44-gon, and 444-gon, respectively. Some might say an 'undecagon', but this is actually incoorect as it is a mixture of the greek and latin nominclature. ![]() Polygons hold a plethora of properties, and depending on the number of sides of a polygon, the name of the shape varies. ![]() The following is a list of the two rotatatopic polygons, which are polygons formed from the product of multiple hyperspheres, listed along with their constituent hyperspheres (using Bowers' Rotatope Notation).Ī regular polygon is a polygon in which all edges are the same length and all angles are the same size. They can have 4 sides, 44 sides, or even 444 sides. Polygons in Geometry: In geometry, a polygon is defined as a shape with straight sides that is two-dimensional. Where n - number of sides, a - side length. If you want to calculate the regular polygon parameters directly from equations, all you need to know is the polygon shape and its side length: Area. Name a shape that has 11 sides A polygon having eleven sides can be called a hendecagon or an undecagon. Regular polygon formulas: sides, area, perimeter, angles. A hendecagon is a flat shape with 11 straight sides.

![]() ![]() Jinx sticks a wad of fluorescent gum back into her mouth, chews loudly, cracking the bubbles with her teeth, and then slowly begins to blow a big, pink bubble. “Hey, are you coming inside? We’re going to get started.” She’s got one earbud tucked in her left ear, but I can see the other dangling over the side of the recliner. It’s hard to tell if she’s heard me.Ībnormally large plastic sunglasses cover her eyes and most of her eyebrows. Jinx is lying on a plastic lounge chair in the backyard, while Shiro and Kuro are napping in the grass at her feet. I crawl back into bed and wait for the dawn. Just a few pinpoints of light break it up. It’s hard to see the stars from the city. I can feel it still, stretching on and on. ![]() The soft glow of the lights outside paints me and my room in shadow.Ībove all the sleeping quiet is darkness. I walk over to it and watch the street below. I’ve taken to sleeping with one of the windows open. The darkness is gone, replaced by a muted gray. I’m in my bed, the blanket in a sweaty tangle. The last thing I see is their emblems darkening as their light shatters into a rainbow of ragged cinders. The tips of my own fingers start to glow and break apart. I’m not strong enough to keep us together. I try to hold on, but I can’t stop them from falling. The atmosphere of the planet below us burns hot, and their lights ignite. I can’t concentrate on where we’re going, the danger that’s fast approaching. The horizon of a world big and blue rushes up to meet us. I stretch my arms out, but they’re too far. They’re sleeping, dreaming maybe, untroubled by the darkness that surrounds us. Their faces are so beautiful, so peaceful. Maybe they were there from the beginning, but this is the first time I can truly see. It’s like warmth and joy and comfort and laughter got balled up together so tightly they had no choice but to catch fire. Just when I’m about to give up, just when I’m about to let go, I feel them. What did I expect when I have a mouth full of nothing? My heart’s beating too fast. My mouth opens to yell, to scream, but only silence comes out. Then someone or something’s pulled the plug at the bottom of the darkness and I’m sinking further into the inky black. ![]() Then I realize that there’s no surface to break. I tread midnight like water in a well, all the while the cold drip of loneliness slips down my back. I reach out, hoping that it is just a blackout, that I can just push away the weight of being alone like too many heavy blankets. It’s like being woken up when the power’s gone out.Īll those familiar bits of light snuffed out, swallowed up. It’s so dark, I’m not sure my eyes are even open.

Because stroke patients are not able to keep both feet on the floor and weight distributed equally between them, it is very easy for them to lose trunk muscle strength and control of the trunk on one or both sides. Trunk balance and gait were assessed before and after the stroke patients were treated using a horseback riding simulator. Stroke Īnother area of research involves horseback riding simulation with stroke patients. This indicates that using a horseback riding simulator can be as effective as hippotherapy for improving balance in children with cerebral palsy. It was found that both static and dynamic balance improved for the children in both groups following their 12-week-long programs and there was not a statistically significant difference between the results from the two groups. Conventional physical therapy sessions were attended before each hippotherapy or horseback riding simulator session. The children in each group underwent the same kind of therapy for the same amount of time using either a real horse or the simulator. In a 2014 study by Lee et al., 26 children with cerebral palsy were divided into two groups: a hippotherapy group and a horseback riding simulator group. Parents of these children noted that their children executed activities of daily living that demanded greater mobility and postural control better than before. The results from this study showed that children who received riding simulator therapy exhibited a statistically significant improvement regarding postural control in the sitting position, specifically regarding the maximal displacement in the mediolateral and anteroposterior directions. compared children with cerebral palsy and postural issues who received conventional therapy to similar children who received therapy involving a riding simulator. There has been increased research regarding use of horseback riding simulators compared to conventional therapy methods. However, it was criticized for not delivering the results claimed. A similar product manufactured in the US is a stool-like device called the iGallop, which was commercially available in the mid 2000s and moves in a side-to-side and circular motion with various speed settings. ![]() The Joba does not resemble a horse, but rather just looks like a saddle, with plastic handle and stirrups, attached to a base that allows it to pitch and roll, exercising core muscles. One such commercial product is the Joba, created in Japan by rehabilitation doctor Testuhiko Kimura and the Matsushita Electric Industrial Company. ![]() Simulators that do not resemble horses but imitate certain aspects of equine motion are popular in some Asian countries such as Japan and South Korea, in part because land for keeping actual horses is quite limited. Another product that resembles and moves like a real horse is the line of Racewood Equestrian Simulators, with 13 models to imitate actual movement of horses in various disciplines, including a simple walk and trot model. Products that attempt to accurately imitate the movement of a real horse and are sometimes used for therapeutic purposes as well as for developing equestrian skills or conditioning are the Equicizer, an American-developed mechanical product that resembles the body of a horse, imitates the movement of a horse, and can be used at slower speeds for therapeutic and rehabilitation purposes. Some people use these simulators as personal exercise machines to tone core muscles in an easy and low-impact manner. Additionally, difficulty level can be set by the therapist and increased gradually in subsequent sessions to reflect the patient's progress and abilities. Simulators used for therapeutic purposes can be used anywhere (i.e.: clinic or a patient home), do not take up much space, and can be programmed to achieve the type of therapy desired. Horseback therapy has been used by many types of therapists (i.e.: physical, occupational, and speech therapists) to advance their physical, mental, emotional, and social skills. ![]() ![]() Horseback riding simulators are intended to allow people to gain the benefits of therapeutic horseback riding or to gain skill and conditioning for equestrian activity while diminishing the issues of surrounding cost, availability, and individual comfort level around horses. ![]() ![]() ![]() If you are a fan of the original Hello Neighbor game or survival-horror games, then Hello Neighbor: Hide And Seek is a must-play for you.

![]() ![]() We add in a few options to make the output of the table a little nicer by specifying horizontal lines and removing the default rownames. We will then make a call to the multirow function in \(\LaTeX\) in a sneaky way of pasting the appropriate text in addition to using the force option for sanitizing the text into \(\LaTeX\). It counts how many times a value is repeated in a table. Awesomely enough, the rle function in R will be of great help to us in this endeavor. With the originating airport duplicating across all of the airlines, it would be nice if we could reduce this duplication and just bold PDX or SEA and have each appear once.

We will focus on producing the \(\LaTeX\) code in this example. The xtable package and its xtable function (and also the kable function you saw earlier) provide the functionality to generate HTML code or \(\LaTeX\) code to produce a table. data("airlines", package = "pnwflights14")īy_airline % group_by(origin, carrier) %>% We merge the flights data with the airlines data to get the names of the airlines from the two letter carrier code. The xtable package to produce nice tables in a PDFĪgain, we find ourselves using the extremely helpful dplyr package to answer this question and to create the underpinnings of our table to display. Surprisingly, the airport in Bellingham, WA (only around 100 miles north of SEA) had the fifth largest mean arrival delay. Houston also had around a 10 minute delay on average. Oddly enough, flights to Cleveland (from PDX and SEA) had the worst arrival delays in 2014. Lastly we output this table cleanly using the kable function. Rename("Airport Name" = name, "Airport Code" = dest, "Mean Arrival Delay" = mean_arr_delay) data("airports", package = "pnwflights14") Here we will do a match to identify the names of these airports using the inner_join function in dplyr. ![]() One of the other data sets included in the pnwflights14 package is airports that lists the names. This information is helpful but you may not necessarily know to which airport each of these FAA airport codes refers. Summarize(mean_arr_delay = mean(arr_delay, na.rm = TRUE)) %>% We’ll use the top_n function to isolate the 5 worst mean arrival delays. To address the first question, we will use the dplyr package written by Hadley Wickham as below. How many flights departed for each airline from each of the airports? How does the maximum departure delay vary by month for each of the two airports?ģ. Which destinations had the worst arrival delays (on average) from the two PNW airports?Ģ.
