Have you ever wanted to make a map in an online game? Well, Feral Heart is the first step for beginners with no extra money. Feral Heart is a massively multiplayer online role-playing game, MMORPG for short, which has two main species, a wolf and a lion, is based off a roleplaying only background. This game is perfect for those who want a nonviolent game as well as a place where they can choose to chat with people around the world without having to focus on a predetermined quest. Due to these factors it has the option of creating a private map for you and your friends’ enjoyment. While the map making process can seem difficult and aggravating, it doesn’t need to be. In fact, in order to make a Feral-Heart map you will only need five things, free time, a computer that can download, the game Feral Heart, an imagination, and some form of a drawing and editing program, Gimp, for example, is a good choice. Once you are sure you have your tools you’ll need to make a height map, a terrain map, and alter it in the game.
First and foremost, after you have gathered the needed programs, you need to open Gimp and open a new png file that is 513x513 for your new height map. Once you complete that you need to then go to the image tab at the top of the program’s screen, scroll down to mode and hover till you can click grayscale. From there you need to choose if you would like to have any rivers, mountains, flatlands, and cliffs, black is the deepest and white is the highest. Once you have chosen what your map looks like it is time to save it, due to the type of file needed you need to go to file and click export, remember to make sure it is a png file or it will not work once you are ready to go into the game and create your map. Save your heig...

...ap maker, it will automatically save to your exports folder in the Feral Heart folder, which can be found in the same way as the terrains folder prior, however you only have to enter the Feral Heart folder to find the exports folder. You might want to go back and check your work if you would prefer, or you might just keep your map to yourself, but if you want to share it, you can use Media fire which you can log into as long as you have a Facebook. Now once you have completed the map you can enter it on the computer you created it from but you will have to download it to other computers if you have more than one computer. Once you do these steps once, it gets easier to do and your maps can become more complex as you do them, you could even go back to your first map and recreate it later if you have the original map files.

Imagine for a moment, a world of death. For 200 years your family has been sealed away with a thousand other people, to protect you from the dangers outside. Now your father has disappeared, and it’s up to you to find him. After a harrowing escape from your subterranean home, you walk through a tunnel to the outside world, past dead bodies, stretched out in front of the door, as if to say “don’t leave us out here to die!” As you walk through the gate to the outside, and as your eyes slowly adjust to the sun you have never seen, a wasteland emerges before you. The world is devastated, destroyed and annihilated. Broken twisted hunks of metal lie next to a sign on the side of the mountain saying “scenic overlook” on your right, the broken remains of the interstate bridge stand as a monument to a destroyed culture. Petrified trees are all that remains of the local fauna. Off in the distance, all that remains is destruction. While you may think of this stunning visualization of a wonderful novel, this is actually one of the opening scenes from Todd Howard and Bethesda Game Studios’ “Fallout 3.”
In a world where geography only makes the headlines or points of coffee house discussion if a new study is released about how terrible students are at it, however, amazingly there ARE still students and people alike that simply love it and are thriving in their point of interest. Some stare at maps endlessly searching for things that most people would never even care to look at such as what makes this state similar with this state or why is the population more or less here. Some long to find and view the rarest maps available; others embrace the future by participating in an activity known as geocaching. Geocaching is when the participant visits special areas with “treasures” hidden using their GPS devices and smartphones. Some people even draw thousands of their own imaginary maps, highlighting details in worlds and countries they long to visit.
Since the humble origins of the video gaming industry, individuals used it as a challenge of their abilities. In modern day, this industry is just a popular as any other media which exists in the mainstream world. Video games reflect society’s changing views of the normalities of which individuals and/or groups must abide to. This is exemplified in the evolving representation of the queer individuals within the virtual world. As the video game industry came into focus, so did the LGBT rights movement. This illustrates that society’s views on the LGBT community were reflected in the video games made, however, it was rare that such characters existed as protagonists until the twenty first century. Due to the extreme lack of asexual and non-binary
For three decades, the Nintendo Company has been on the front line of the video game industry. With competitors continuing to develop new video game systems and more exciting games to play with those systems. The Nintendo Company has come up with their own ways to keep video game enthusiasts interests in mind. Even though the video gaming at home did not start with Nintendo, The Nintendo Company did start a video gaming revolution with the release of the Nintendo Entertainment System or NES in 1985. How did the first ad of the NES package have the effectiveness that appeals to video gaming enthusiasts to launch the revolution, as we know it today?
What a game it was! The ultimate first person shooter had the qualities to be the best video game on Xbox 360. Everyone loved Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare from the designer Infinity Ward. It was thought by many people that it will take a long time before another addition was made to the Call of Duty series; however it took only a week for the publishers, Activision to announce the new Call of Duty: World at War. Although, the new game was announced, it was quite disappointing when it was said it was going to be created by Treyarch, the other creators of Call of Duty games. Fortunately, it wasn’t as bad as most Call of Duty fans expected, although it didn’t really match up to the standards of the creations of Infinity Ward but it turned out to be a worthy game to all those first person shooter fans out there.
Until the 1950s, Atlases were mostly comprised of maps that simply show space and place. However in 1953, the World Geo-Graphic Atlas, published by Walter Paepcke’s Container Corporation of America (CCA) with Herbert Bayer, changed people’s notion of what maps look like and what information they contain. Bayer believed, that maps were “a record of time and perhaps even a tool of prognostication.” By the use of Isotypes (International System of Typographic Picture Education), Bayer created an atlas that is universal, therefore allowed viewers to understand complex data more clearly and easily.
The map was developed by the CIPD in conjunction with professionals and organisations around the world and is made up of the following 3 sections:
Geographers plan new communities, decide where new highways should be placed, and establish evacuation plans. Computerized mapping and data analysis is known as Geographic Information Systems (GIS), a new frontier in geography. Spatial data is gathered on a variety of subjects and input onto a computer. GIS users can create an infinite number of maps by requesting portions of the data to plot.

The Hereford World Map is the world’s oldest surviving map of the world; it was made in 1300, during the beginning of the Renaissance in Europe. There was a wider range of influences on mapping during the later medieval period. With an increase in exploration, Europe began to evolve into an international continent; widespread travel can be seen by the influences of the Islamic world on architecture. While map making in China had flourished in the 11th C, mapping was beginning to evolve in Europe. By around 1400 there was a peak in map making in Europe. There is evidence of the influence of Roman mapping on medieval maps in Europe. The Medieval world maps but together information from Roman sources to make the world maps in the middle ages known as the mappa mundi, meaning cloth of the world. These were cloth maps, and the name mappa mundi was widely used for them. These world maps were understood by historians as an attempt to show where countries were located, quite often they were not just geographical representations but they were also stories of the world. As knowledge of map making increased during the Renaissance, was a move for wider representations of information on maps. The map became a source of information on the animals and history of the different countries. This can be seen in The Hereford World Map, a map that gives a geometrical representation of the locations of the known countries of the world and also acted as an encyclopaedia of information on various types of animals and where in the world they came from.
In life, we quest endlessly to find happiness and ultimately; wellbeing. There are many different approaches to ‘living the good life, some use music; and others use art. It is from personal experience that wellbeing can be achieved through playing video games. While many take notice of the negative effects that gaming has on a person (Carnagey and Anderson, 2004), it is imperative that the various positive aspects are also drawn into the spotlight. These positive contributions to wellbeing include: Sociability, relaxation, and health. Regardless of the negative effects that some scientists argue (Carnagey and Anderson, 2004); the positive effects of video game consumption far outweigh the negative.
The claim being discussed here is that the only way a map or a way of representing things can be useful is if it simplifies the knowledge that the actual territory gives, that is, if it reduces the salient i...
Topography and Geographic Region Analysis for Tourists The natural landscape within the UK consists of a mainly flat land area. With the majority of England included in the flat land mass the major cities are populated close to the edge of the country or on the side of a national river to allow easy transport and access. In England we have a few higher peaks than sea level as the Pennines run through the north of the country from the east of the Cumbrian Mountains down to the south of the country just outside Manchester. In the rest of England there are smaller peaks of hills/mountains which are:- * Cumbrian Mountains * North York Moors * Cotswald Hills * Chiltern Hills * Salisbury Plain * North Downs In Wales we have the Cambrian Mountains as there is a great deal of high ground in the country.
In chapter 1 and 2 the author, James Paul Gee explains video games are forms of learning since people must learn them to play. The game creators aid the learning process in that they determine the ease of playing the game. In case a game cannot be easily learned, obviously many people will not play it and the company and its creator will become bankrupt. Ideal learning in a game is a capitalist practice of selection of the fittest. Although the developers could solve the games by shortening and making them easier, they tend to make them complex and relate them to intriguing dilemmas faced in schools and workplaces. This is a vital way of getting people to practice and know something that is lengthy and
The simplest method for measuring height is with an altimeter using air pressure as an indication of height. But for surveying more precision is needed. Toward this end, a variety of means, such as precise levels, have been developed. Levels are calibrated to provide a precise plane from which differentials in height between the instrument and the point in question can be measured, typically through the use of a vertical measuring rod.
