![]() ![]() You can sort Sprites according to many strategies. Sorting SpritesBy organizing Sprites in layers, you can create an illusion of depth. See the Introduction to the Sprite Renderer Learn tutorial. Adjusting the color of a Sprite with the Sprite Renderer ![]() For example, you can use the Sprite Renderer to change the color and opacity of a Sprite. Use the Sprite Renderer component to render your Sprites. Import your Sprites with Unity’s recommended settings see Importing and Setting Up Sprites. Multiple Sprites that make up the parts of a character, displayed in the Sprite Editor Importing and setting up Sprites This allows you greater control over the movement and animation of your characters. You can also use a collection of Sprites to build a character. For example, you can import an image of your main character as a Sprite. You use Sprites for all types of 2D games. Scripts are attached to GameObjects, and any script you create inherits from the MonoBehaviour class. Also see the Unity Learn Beginner Scripting course. Scripts respond to input from the player and arrange for events in the gameplay to happen when they should.įor details on how to use scripts in Unity see Scripting Overview. See the Scripting section for more details.Īll 2D games need scripts A piece of code that allows you to create your own Components, trigger game events, modify Component properties over time and respond to user input in any way you like. More info See in Glossary representations of C# classes you can use scripts to change and interact with components, or create new ones. Unity currently supports three UI systems. See 2D Physics.Ĭomponents are UI (User Interface) Allows a user to interact with your application. This is mostly useful for making isometric or 2D games.Ĭollider 2D: this component defines the shape of a 2D GameObject for the purposes of physical collisions A collision occurs when the physics engine detects that the colliders of two GameObjects make contact or overlap, when at least one has a Rigidbody component and is in motion. Marking a Camera as Orthographic removes all perspective from the Camera’s view. More info See in Glossary: devices that capture and display the world to the player.

Sprite Renderer A component that lets you display images as Sprites for use in both 2D and 3D scenes. Every GameObject has a Transform component. More info See in Glossary determines the Position, Rotation, and Scale of each GameObject in the scene. Transform: the Transform component A Transform component determines the Position, Rotation, and Scale of each object in the scene. The following components are fundamental for 2D games: The behavior of GameObjects is defined by blocks of functionality called components. Scenes in Unity are always 3D when you make a 2D game in Unity, you typically choose to ignore the third dimension (the z-axis) but you can also use it in special cases, for example when making 2.5D games. In each Scene, you place your environments, obstacles, and decorations, essentially designing and building your game in pieces. Think of each unique Scene file as a unique level. GameObjects represent the items in your game the space in which you place them to build your level is called a scene A Scene contains the environments and menus of your game. Every object in your game is a GameObject. ![]() ![]() More info See in Glossary are fundamental objects in Unity that represent characters, props, scenery, and more. A GameObject’s functionality is defined by the Components attached to it. GameObjects The fundamental object in Unity scenes, which can represent characters, props, scenery, cameras, waypoints, and more. If you are used to working in 3D, Sprites are essentially just standard textures but there are special techniques for combining and managing sprite textures for efficiency and convenience during development. To create a 2D game, set up your Unity project and then familiarize yourself with the relevant concepts in the following order: Before you create a 2D game, you need to decide on a game perspective and an art style. ![]() ![]() However, if it rolls off a shelf in your laundry room, for example, and hits the hard floor it may crack. The Downy ball is made of plastic, and generally is supposed to be designed to be sturdy, since it goes through the wash repeatedly. In addition, if you overload your washing machine it may cause the ball not to open, so next try to add less clothing to the machine at a time. Try wiping off the stopper and cleaning it with a few drops of laundry detergent. This is not uncommon because fabric softener is oil based, and easily clumps as it dries. ![]() Sometimes this happens because the stopper gets residue caked on it, which make it difficult to slide open and closed. There have been times I've put it into the wash and when I get it out it is still closed, and has never dispensed any softener into the wash. ![]() The Ball Does Not Open And Dispense Softenerįirst, speaking from personal experience I will say that this product is not fool proof. Here are some of the most common problems I've encountered, or heard about, and suggestions for fixing them. Troubleshooting Problems With Your Downy BallĪs simple as the design is for this fabric softener dispensing ball, it is no surprise that some people have problems with it working properly. However, you can still purchase them online (see the referral links below). (By the way, if you're having trouble with a yucky dispenser, check out this video on cleaning your machine to get rid of washing machine smell).Ī related result of the fact that these balls are not used in the newer designed washing machines means they are not as easy to find in stores anymore. I know some people don't like to use these built in fabric softener dispensers, because they easily get clogged and dirty (in both HE and standard top loaders) but I would not recommend using this product in your HE machine unless the instruction manual for it specifically says you can. Instead, most HE machines have a fabric softener dispenser in them, and you should use this dispenser instead. When the washing machine enters the last rinse cycle and begins to spin the ball around, with the rest of the clothes, the ball is designed to open up and release the softener onto the clothing.īecause the Downy ball is designed to open up during the final rinse cycle of standard (non-HE machines), you should not use this fabric softener ball in an HE machine. ![]() It is important that the ball be at the top, and not covered with clothing, for it to work properly.īasically the ball floats at the top of your washing machine load during the washing of the clothes. Then, throw the filled ball onto the top of your clothing. At the beginning of the washing cycle open the stopper and pour in your fabric softener to the approprite fill line and pull the stopper closed. The ball is designed with a rubber stopper in the top. Instead, it can be used to dispense any type of liquid softener in your washing machine at the right time. Although it says "Downy" in its name, you don't have to use Downy fabric softener in it, although the fill lines are premeasured for that brand. ![]() Therefore, someone invented the Downy ball. Obviously, if your machine doesn't have a dispenser you are out of luck, and I've already identified that it is a pain to have to pay attention to when your machine gets to the right cycle, and I myself often miss it. There were problems with both of these methods. Therefore, originally you had two options for adding the softener, either in your washing machine's fabric softener dispenser or adding it manually during the rinse cycle. If you've ever used liquid fabric softener in your washing machine I'm sure you know about making sure it gets onto the clothing at the exact right time - not to soon, not too late, but just right, during the final rinse cycle.įor those of us without a fabric softener dispenser, this product was invented to keep us from having to stand by the machine waiting for that exact right time.Īs explained in more detail in my article about how to use liquid fabric softener, you can't place the softener into the machine at the beginning of the load or it will not work properly. Here is the ultimate guide to using a Downy ball in the washing machine properly, to dispense fabric softener, plus reviews and troubleshooting tips for some common complaints about the product. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() We used Fiber Gourmet Light Elbows (affiliate link) for the macaroni in the salad, and this high-fiber wheat pasta from Italy is a lot lower in net carbs than regular pasta.How did we make Tuna Macaroni Salad with fewer carbs?

(This is only a list of ingredients please scroll down for complete printable recipe. What ingredients do you need for this recipe: And besides the great flavor, another things we loved about this macaroni salad with tuna is that it’s made with Fiber Gourmet Light Elbows, which was one thing that kept the carbs very low for this type of salad! We also added finely chopped cucumbers for a little crunch, and some sliced green onions for more flavor, and we devoured some of this for lunch on the day we tested the improved recipe and took these photos. But I’m happy to report this Tuna Macaroni Salad with Green Olives was loaded with flavor due to good quality tuna in olive oil, chopped Spanish green olives, and a generous amount of lemon juice and green olive brine in the dressing. I think any kind of macaroni salad is always in danger of being a bit boring if you don’t use strongly flavored and interesting ingredients. PIN Tuna Macaroni Salad with Green Olives to try it later! Second, use olive oil mayonnaise, or substitute half of the mayonnaise with Greek yogurt.If you need a tasty idea for summer potlucks, this Tuna Macaroni Salad with Green Olives is always a hit for a treat with canned tuna! And we made this with Fiber Gourmet Light Elbows for a macaroni salad with about 10 net carbs per serving. First, swap the regular pasta for whole grain pasta. While pasta salads generally aren't considered "diet foods," there are several easy substitutions that can make it healthier. Tuna is packed with protein and omega 3 fatty acids, which are good for heart health. Regardless of what tuna you use, be sure to drain it before adding it to the salad so that the dressing doesn't get too thin. Tuna in water is better here, because you don't need the extra oil from oil-packed tuna (which will work fine in a pinch). It comes out of the can in thick chunks, which keeps it from breaking up too much when it's stirred into the pasta salad. While any canned tuna will work, for this recipe, the best bet is canned albacore in water. The finishing garnish of crunchy potato chips-another nod to the casserole-takes this dish right over the top! The dressing, made from mayonnaise and sour cream, is the perfect creamy binder for the whole dish. Similar to tuna noodle casserole, this pasta salad version has all the classic ingredients, such as tuna, noodles, and frozen peas, but gets more fresh than its casserole cousin with the addition of crunchy celery and bell pepper. Is tuna pasta salad a side dish or a main dish? If you ask us, we'd say it's both! It's a perfect easy dinner-filled with chunks of delicious albacore tuna, tons of crunchy fresh vegetables, and pasta-but it's equally great for a cookout! ![]() ![]() ![]() Snagit is also the only screen capture tool with built-in advanced image editing and screen recording.

Gordon Whitehead, Jacques Price and Sam Smilovitz were three Canadian students. For a long time, it was assumed that his death had been caused by one of these hefty punches in his stomach, but we know now that it had nothing to do with his stunts and was largely down to his stubborn refusal to go to a doctor. ![]() He claimed, for example, that his abdominal muscles could withstand any blow and challenged everyone to try it out. He was a juggler, an acrobat and a strong-man. Houdini ornamented his spectacular escape acts with Spiritism and classical circus tricks. Many will think that his death was as spectacular as his life, that he drowned while performing his legendary Chinese Water Torture Cell act-handcuffed, upside down and underwater, on stage, in front of a packed theatre. And he always emerged unharmed, even after being buried alive in a bronze coffin. Erik Weisz was the world-famous Harry Houdini, the escape artist who had himself buttoned up into a straitjacket and hoisted up in the air by his feet, wrapped in chains and sealed in a wooden chest and then thrown overboard in New York harbor, handcuffed and shut in a milk churn full of beer. Almost no one knew his real name but his stage name is still-almost a century later-known around the world and has become synonymous with the art that he developed. ![]() Like Charlie Chaplin, Stan Laurel and Oliver Hardy, Erik Weisz typified the spirit of that wonderful time in America. When Erik Weisz died on 31 October 1926, it was world news. ![]() ![]() ![]() Neurostimulation for chronic noncancer pain: an evaluation of the clinical evidence and recomendations for future trial designs / R.J. ![]() Destructive procedures for the treatment of non-malignant pain: a structured literature review / J.S.

It doesn't leap in response to your nudge of the pedal. The torque-and-recoil guys among us didn't enjoy the Touareg much. Left to its own, it sends 40 percent of driving torque to the front, up to 53 percent if the rears spin, and reduces front drive to 29 percent during steering. ![]() ![]() The test truck had full-time four-wheel drive with a Torsen center differential that's lockable by dash switch. The 4.7-liter V-8 is exceptionally refined in its sounds and vibrations. The 4Runner has sophisticated machinery below. LOWS: Overboosted brakes, hood scoop blocks view, ugly climate controls, ridiculous location for fuel-filler door release. HIGHS: A dancer's chassis muscles, well-calibrated throttle motions, disciplined V-8 noises. The result is an enveloping, no-sliding-around bench that earned our highest comfort marks for two passengers. It almost always feels better than leather. Once you're seated, comfort is quite good. The low roof doesn't make entry to the second row easier, either. But why is the roof low, closer to the floor? And why the low seats, barely off the floor, down at sports-car elevation? Toyota thinks this arrangement adds sport to its sport UV. The 4Runner has a high floor, not uncommon with body-on-frame construction. Blame it on this truck's people skills, and on the contrary packaging. This is not the expected rating for Toyota's extremely capable SUV. Fuel economy averaged 14 mpg over our evaluation trip, slightly above the mean for the group. Acceleration was middle of the pack, with 0-to-60 in 8.2 seconds. The driver's bucket is firm, with good thigh support for those long of leg.

Along in here somewhere, our usually well-modulated technical director is heard to say, "This is some sick s**t."Īt the trailhead, the Explorer simply drove away, straight to the carwash, same as all the others. If you raise the seat fully, you can see out very well over the low beltline. You can squeeze on just the right amount of power to ease over rock steps. On the road the Explorer always maintains a certain prudent reserve it responds slowly to the pedals and steering. LOWS: All-bran brown interior, odd hounds-tooth printed metal on dash. HIGHS: The $$$ incentives, roomy (relatively) three-row seating, no worries about overstimulating your cardiac condition. Darn, no heated seats in the Explorer! But we have warmth, not to mention six cup holders, a CD changer in the dash, and two rows of back seats complete with DVD movies.Īnd we got there, on top of Chicken Point, amazed at the view and the achievement.

And if these rebates were as predictable as, say, lunar cycles, we could pull them into our as-tested calculation. The price? Uh, a blur of incentives lets you buy an Explorer right. Instead, we'll opt for AdvanceTrac full-time all-wheel drive and Roll Stability Control. What about the most ubiquitous SUV ever, 14 years as an American bestseller: the Ford Explorer? With two-wheel drive, it's as common as dandelions. We're aiming for a base sticker in the $35,000-to-$40,000 range. The Mitsubishi Montero has intriguing off-road capability, too, including the ability to be shifted from rear drive to all-wheel drive on the fly at speeds up to 62 mph.įrom VW, the agile Touareg might be pulled down to popular prices if we stay with the standard 237-hp, 3.2-liter V-6. The optional V-8 won't go breathless on us at altitude. Toyota's athletic 4Runner is certainly right for the mission. The spring season has two all-new mainstreamer SUVs: the Jeep Grand Cherokee, now with Hemi power, and a Nissan Pathfinder built on Titan bones.

We all have stories and diverse backgrounds that make our Air Force great, but MMM may prevent those important perspectives being shared because it over-generalizes success across an extremely diverse population with varied experiences. MMM is a stereotype, plain and simple, and stereotypes will only hurt our ability to perform as an Air Force. MMM isn’t about AAPIs being smart or really good at math.It is unfair to say “Racism isn’t a thing, look at how successful AAPIs are” because it attempts to negate the challenges any minority has experienced and continue to experience. MMM is a tool of manipulation that undermines the opportunity for everyone to express our race-related experiences.“Unlike the engineers and doctors who mostly came from Hong Kong, Taiwan, China and India–the model minority in the American imagination”.The stereotypes of AAPIs, especially AAPI women, have been seen in the way officers (senior leaders, commanders, SELs, etc.) respond to something or hand out assignments.This argument has most often been applied in America to contrast Asian Americans (both East and South Asians) and Jewish Americans against African and Hispanic Americans, enforcing the idea that Asian and Jewish Americans are good law-abiding, productive citizens/immigrants, while promoting the stereotype that Hispanics and African Americans are prone to crime and dependent on welfare. The concept is controversial, as it has historically been used to suggest there is no need for government intervention in socioeconomic disparities between certain racial groups. ![]() This success is typically measured relatively by educational attainment representation in managerial and professional occupations and household income, along with other socioeconomic indicators such as low criminality and high family/marital stability.
![]() ![]() ![]() This took a little shine off the point and click genre, as no longer did deep storylines require you to take on dream logic puzzles, talk to every NPC in the world or click on every pixel to see if it did anything. It felt like the future, and this use of 3D graphics, sound and video allowed developers to produce games with deeper narrative elements. The PlayStation, Saturn and Nintendo 64 all pushed the boat out in terms of 3D polygonal graphics, and the Saturn and PlayStation excelled in CD quality sound and cutscenes. There was a huge jump in graphical fidelity and design with 1993’s Day of the Tentacle and Sam & Max Hit the Road, and the genre was then pushed further forward in 1995, with The Dig and Full Throttle both debuting.īut there was a problem, and that problem was from another dimension: the “third dimension”. ![]() They kicked off the decade with Loom, The Secret of Monkey Island, Monkey Island II and Indiana Jones and the Fate of Atlantis. LucasArts adventure games of the 90s really came on leaps and bounds. In the early part of the 90s, games such as Star Trek: Judgement Rites, Gabriel Knight: Sins of the Fathers and Beneath a Steel Sky were popular and well made adventure games, but when it came down to fun, humour and cartoon lunacy, LucasArts were king. Other than that, strong narratives could be rarely found in platformers, or even a first person shooter.īut it was the point and click genre that really delivered on plot. RPGs of the time could deliver on the story front, but were all too often fantasy driven adventures. Back when the genre rose to prominence, there were precious few genres that offered comprehensive storytelling. The 1990s were the golden age of point and click narrative adventures, and it’s easy to see why the genre has remained in the imagination of gamers all these years later. ![]() |
