A concept that’s often talked about in software development and game design is User Interface, commonly known as “UI”. A UI is one of the most important features of software because it is the element of your program that the user will usually be interacting with the most. Without a UI, the software would have to be used with nothing … Read More

In this post, I’ll provide a step-by-step series of instructions on how to create a graphic equalizer in LabVIEW 2017. A graphic equalizer (EQ) is, in less scientific terms, a device that takes in audio input and can alter specific frequency intensities of a sound wave and output the altered wave. It is one of the most widely used forms of … Read More

In modern game design and development, 2D and 3D animations are increasingly complex. If you’ve worked on a game in any capacity, you have probably come across a need to have, for example, a walking animation trigger a running animation based on movement speed. To tackle such a problem, Unity 3D has something called blend trees. In this post, we’ll … Read More

Today, we’ll be looking at how we can use the Raspberry Pi to turn light emitting diodes (LEDs) on and off. This is one of the most basic things you can do with a Raspberry Pi but it’s a great starting point for learning about physical computing. By the end of this tutorial, you will have a Raspberry Pi that … Read More
