Adventure Platformer Skully Leaps Towards A Summer Release On Nintendo Switch

Modus Games and developer Finish Line Games have announced Skully for Nintendo Switch and other systems, an adventure-platformer planned to launch this summer.

The game sees the titular Skully heading out on a quest to stop a simmering war between feuding siblings. A press release says that, “summoned by a local deity desperate for peace among his kin, Skully can sculpt new abilities from pools of magical clay found throughout the lush island he finds himself washed up on”.

You can get your first taste of Skully’s gameplay in the new video above. You’ll get to see how his different forms can open up new areas, as well as the game’s lovely-looking scenery. Daniel Posner, CEO of Finish Line Games, has shared the following:

“We’re really excited to share Skully with the world. We think a lot of people will connect with the game, and its heroic journey of a seemingly unimposing character destined to accomplish great things.”

Skully will launch on Switch on 4th August 2020, so we don’t have long to wait to check it out for ourselves.

Studio Ghibli Teases Miyazaki's Next Movie, Explains Why It's Taking So Long

Studio Ghibli producer Toshio Suzuki has said the next feature film from writer, director, animator, and Ghibli co-founder Hiyao Miyazaki should be finished within the next few years. The news comes in an interview with Entertainment Weekly, in which Suzuki discusses the studio adding its catalog to HBO Max and new details on Miyazaki's upcoming movie, How Do You Live?

Suzuki calls How Do You Live?, which is based on author Yoshino Genzaburō's 1937 novel of the same name, "a big, fantastical story" about a teenage boy's intellectual and spiritual awakening following his father's death. According to Suzuki, "one of the new approaches" used in How Do You Live?'s creation is a longer production schedule and a larger budget than is typical for a Ghibli movie.

"When Miyazaki came back and said that I want to make a film again, I actually said that's not a great idea because he's achieved so much already," Suzuki says in the interview. "You can't come back and do something that you've already done in the past."

Rumba-Balenciaga ou Ted Lapidis. J'avais les deux et désolé, je n'ai fila chaussure pas vraiment comparé les deux pour voir s'ils ont changé et ajouté des notes. Pour beaucoup, cela peut être un peu fruité. A donné une petite bouteille à moitié utilisée à un collègue, ça sentait si bon et boisé sur ELLE. Je ne sais pas si ça m'a fait ça. Je sens le fruit principalement sur ma peau. Ce n'est pas un parfum timide. Vous serez remarqué. C'est tellement unique. Vous savez comment parfois vous trouvez un parfum et il ressemble à un autre parfum d'une certaine manière que vous pouvez les comparer les uns aux autres? Avec Rumba Balenciaga, je ne trouve rien d'autre qui me vienne à l'esprit. Il est si doux et pourtant fumé, ce qui le rend très intéressant. Je ne peux pas non plus me décider si je l'aime vraiment ou non. Ce n'est pas détester à coup sûr, car il est beaucoup trop intéressant de ne pas l'aimer. 

Et oui c'était une danse de grosses fleurs lumineuses crème riche en miel et baies rouges et bleues. Opulent et doux. Chef-d'oeuvre. La nouvelle version est similaire mais plus plate et trop zestée, surtout les 15 premières minutes, puis elle se calme et devient une joie. Il est même vert et brillant d'agrumes en quelque sorte. Un épisode. Je me souviens chaussure fila que j'ai donné cela à un de mes amis pour Noël (1989), elle était fan de parfums enveloppants forts sexy (Giorgio Beverly Hills, Boucheron, First). Balenciaga n'était plus aussi célèbre à la fin des années 80 en tant que marque et même les parfums étaient difficiles à trouver, et c'était drôle parce qu'après Noël, elle m'appelle et dit "oh mon dieu, tout le monde me demande quel parfum magnifique je porte et Je ne sais basket fila pas quoi leur répondre! " J'ai répondu "Jésus ne dit que Rumba par Balenciaga!" 

Rumba se déplie sur ma peau pour un cocktail au parfum ardent. Deux odeurs délicates et même ma chambre sent alléchante. Ce parfum passionné est comparable à la force et au Sillage de Youth Dew, à l'opium ou aux parfums orientaux plus anciens de Serge Lutens. On peut presque goûter la Rumba sur la langue. La composition est équilibrée autour de waxe-y, des notes sacrées de miel et d'encens et elles ne plairont pas à tout le monde à coup sûr. Il faut pas mal de confiance en soi pour porter la Rumba. La note de tête fruitée, en particulier la prune, flotte tout au long du flux de parfum qui est probablement obtenue sans banale manipulation synthétique-fruitée. Ça sent plus comme une délicieuse compote ou une confiture de prunes épicée. Les fleurs dans les notes fila disruptor 2 de cS
ur forment une unité si parfaite que je ne peux pas sentir une à une. 

Même la tubéreuse dominante pour moi n'est pas reconnaissable et se retient, se cache presque. La note de fond est similaire à l'impression générale, qui ne change pas beaucoup lors de sa projection impressionnante: plus de 12 heures. Je dirais presque que c'est un parfum linéaire, parce que tout est si harmonieusement composé autour de miel et d'encens. Vous ne devriez pas en faire une overdose, sinon vous causerez probablement un mal de tête à ceux qui n'aiment pas les parfums féroces. Tout le monde devrait être prudent avec cette grenade parfumée. Ted Lapidus a pris Rumba dans les années 90. Que l'odeur ait maintenant également été reformulée, je ne constate aucune différence pertinente entre l'ancienne formulation et la récente. Mon commentaire fait référence à l'original de Balenciaga. 

Vous pouvez vous retrouver avec une politique de lieu de travail sans parfum en conséquence. Je n'ose pas assez pour porter cela souvent mais quand je le fais, je me sens comme une «mauvaise fille» - tout en fumée, en cuir et en eau-de-vie de prune. J'aime beaucoup ça. Ma bouteille indique Balenciaga sur le fond. Je n'ai pas senti la version Ted Lapidus. Wow, quel parfum! Ouverture fruitée très pétillante qui vous fait penser que Rumba est un nom bien choisi: vous avez envie de danser de belles danses gitanes! Ensuite, un S
illet épicé surprenant semble rafraîchir les fruits et ... quelle seconde et grande surprise pour moi: le cuir ici est magnifique car il est si bien entouré de santal; la mousse de chêne n'est pas écrasante et c'est magnifique. Un must have pour tous les amateurs de parfums forts vintage à mon avis car je le trouve assez unique. 

On pourrait y penser comme un oriental mais au final on sent l'âme chypre: la rumba est dansée par un couple contrairement à la gitane Buleria :. Un grand GRAND parfum et un parfum de signature parfait pour ces jours ... si vous appliquez légèrement: À mon avis, Rumba Passion de Ted Lapidus n'a rien à fila ray tracer voir avec Balenciaga Rumba. Le premier est un parfum moderne plutôt linéaire à ne pas comparer en richesse et en profondeur à Balenciaga et aux classiques en général et ils ne sentent pas du tout la même chose car Rumba Passion est dominé par la rose et le patchouli. Quoi qu'il en soit, Rumba Passion est agréable et durable aussi, les deux aspects ne sont malheureusement pas si fréquents dans les parfums pour nouveau-nés. Je n'achèterais jamais de Rumba Passion mais je pourrais le porter parfois car je trouve (étrangement) sa rose et son patchouli agréables pour un parfum décontracté.

Matplotlib Animation – A Helpful Illustrated Guide

Creating animations in matplotlib is reasonably straightforward. However, it can be tricky when starting, and there is no consensus for the best way to create them. In this article, I show you a few methods you can use to make amazing animations in matplotlib.

Matplotlib Animation Example

The hardest thing about creating animations in matplotlib is coming up with the idea for them. This article covers the basic ideas for line plots, and I may cover other plots such as scatter and 3D plots in the future. Once you understand these overarching principles, you can animate other plots effortlessly.

There are two classes you can use to create animations: FuncAnimation and ArtistAnimation. I focus on FuncAnimation as this is the more intuitive and more widely used one of the two.

To use FuncAnimation, define a function (often called animate), which matplotlib repeatedly calls to create the next frame/image for your animation.

To create an animation with FuncAnimation in matplotlib, follow these seven steps:

1. Have a clear picture in your mind of what you want the animation to do
2. Import standard modules and FuncAnimation
3. Set up Figure, Axes, and Line objects
4. Initialize data
5. Define your animation function – animate(i)
6. Pass everything to FuncAnimation
7. Display or save your animation

Let’s create a sin wave that matplotlib ‘draws’ for us. Note that this code may look strange to you when you first read it. Creating animations with matplotlib is different from creating static plots.

# Standard imports

import numpy as np

import matplotlib.pyplot as plt

from matplotlib.animation import FuncAnimation

Import NumPy and matplotlib using their standard aliases and FuncAnimation from matplotlib.animation.

# Set up empty Figure, Axes and Line objects

fig, ax = plt.subplots()

# Set axes limits so that the whole image is included

ax.set(xlim=(-0.1, 2*np.pi+0.1), ylim=(-1.1, 1.1))

# Draw a blank line

line, = ax.plot([], []) 

Set up the Figure and Axes objects using plt.subplots() and – using ax.set() – set the x- and y-axis limits to the same size as a normal sine curve – from 0 to 2π on the x-axis and from -1 to 1 on the y-axis. Note that I included padding of 0.1 on each axis limit so that you can see the whole line matplotlib draws.

Then, I did something you have probably never done before: I drew a blank line. You need to do this because animate modifies this line, and it can only modify something that already exists. You can also think of it as initializing an empty line object that you will soon fill with data.

Note that you must include a comma after line,! The plot method returns a tuple, and you need to unpack it to create the variable line.

# Define data - one sine wave

x = np.linspace(0, 2*np.pi, num=50)

y = np.sin(x)

Next, define the data you want to plot. Here, I am plotting one sine wave, so I used np.linspace() to create the x-axis data and created y by calling np.sin() on x. Thanks to numpy broadcasting, it is easy to apply functions to NumPy arrays!

# Define animate function

def animate(i): line.set_data(x[:i], y[:i]) return line,

Define the animate(i) function. Its argument i is an integer starting from 0 and up to the total number of frames you want in your animation. I used the line.set_data() method to draw the first i elements of the sine curve for both x and y. Note that you return line, with a comma again because you need to return an iterable and adding a comma makes it a tuple.

# Pass to FuncAnimation

anim = FuncAnimation(fig, animate, frames=len(x)+1, interval=30, blit=True)

Create a FuncAnimation object. First, pass the Figure and animate function as positional arguments.

Next, set the number of frames to len(x)+1 so that it includes all the values in x. It works like the range() function, and so even though x has length 50, python only draws frames 0 to 49 and not the 50th member. So, add on one more to draw the entire plot.

The interval is how long in milliseconds matplotlib waits between drawing the next part of the animation. I’ve found that 30 works well as a general go-to. A larger number means matplotlib waits longer between drawing and so the animation is slower.

Finally, set blit=True so that it only redraws parts that have not been drawn before. It doesn’t make much difference for this example, but once you create more complex plots, you should use this; it can take quite a while for matplotlib to create animations (waiting several minutes is common for large ones).

# Save in the current working directory

anim.save('sin.mp4')

I saved the animation as a video called ‘sin.mp4’ to the current working directory.

Open your current working directory, find the saved video, and play it. Congratulations! You’ve just made your first animation in matplotlib!

Some of the steps you take to create animations are unique and may feel unusual the first time you try them. I know I felt strange the first time I used them. Don’t worry, the more you practice and experiment, the easier it becomes.

Here’s the full code:

# Standard imports

import numpy as np

import matplotlib.pyplot as plt

from matplotlib.animation import FuncAnimation # Set up empty Figure, Axes and Line objects

fig, ax = plt.subplots()

# Set axes limits so that the whole image is included

ax.set(xlim=(-0.1, 2*np.pi+0.1), ylim=(-1.1, 1.1))

# Draw a blank line

line, = ax.plot([], []) # Define data - one sine wave

x = np.linspace(0, 2*np.pi, num=50)

y = np.sin(x) # Define animate function

def animate(i): line.set_data(x[:i], y[:i]) return line, # Pass to FuncAnimation

anim = FuncAnimation(fig, animate, frames=len(x)+1, interval=30, blit=True) # Save in the current working directory

anim.save('sin.mp4')

Note that if this final step did not work for you, it’s probably because you don’t have the right libraries installed – I’ll show you what to install right now.

Matplotlib Animation Save

To save your animation in matplotlib, use the .save() method on your FuncAnimation object. You can either save them as mp4 videos or gifs.

Matplotlib Animation Save Mp4

To save animations as mp4 videos, first, install the FFmpeg library. It’s an incredibly powerful command-line tool, and you can download it from their official site, Github, or, if you use anaconda, by running conda install ffmpeg.

Once you have created your animation, run anim.save('name.mp4', writer='ffmpeg'), and python saves your animation as the video ‘name.mp4’ in your current working directory.

Note that the default writer is FFmpeg, and so you don’t have to explicitly state it if you don’t want to.

Matplotlib Animation Save Gif

To save animations as gifs, first, install the ImageMagick library. It is a command-line tool, and you can download it from their official site, GitHub, or if you use anaconda, by running conda install -c conda-forge imagemagick.

Once you have created your animation, run anim.save('name.gif', writer='imagemagick'), and python saves your animation as the gif ‘name.gif’ in your current working directory.

anim.save('sin.gif', writer='imagemagick')

Note that both ImageMagick and FFmpeg are command-line tools and not python libraries. As such, you cannot install them using pip. There are some python wrappers for those tools online, but they are not what you need to install.

Matplotlib Animation Jupyter

If you write your code in Jupyter notebooks (something I highly recommend), and don’t want to save your animations to disk every time, you may be disappointed to hear that your animations do not work out of the box. By default, Jupyter renders plots as static png images that cannot be animated.

To fix this, you have a couple of options to choose from:

1. The %matplotlib notebook magic command, or
2. Changing the plt.rcParams dictionary

If you run %matplotlib notebook in a code cell at the top of your notebook, then all your plots render in interactive windows.

# Run at the top of your notebook

%matplotlib notebook

As I cannot show you interactive Jupyter windows in a blog post, the above video shows you the result of running the sin drawing curve above.

This method is by far the simplest but gives you the least control. For one thing, the buttons at the bottom do nothing. Plus, it keeps running until you click the off button at the top… but when you do, you have no way to turn it on again!

I much prefer using the default %matplotlin inline style for all my plots, but you are free to choose whichever you want.

The other option is to change the plt.rcParams dictionary. This dictionary controls the default behavior for all your matplotlib plots such as figure size, font size, and how your animations should display when you call them.

If you print it to the screen, you can see all the parameters it controls.

The one you are interested in is animation.html, which is none by default. The other options are: 'html5' and 'jshtml'.

Let’s see what happens when you set plt.rcParams to those options. First, let’s look at 'html5'.

plt.rcParams['animation.html'] = 'html5'

anim

Now the animation is rendered as an HTML5 video that plays as a loop. You can start/stop it using the play/pause buttons, but that’s about it. In my experience, this video plays much smoother than the interactive windows produced by %matplotlib notebook.

Now let’s look at the much more powerful option: 'jshtml' which stands for Javascript HTML.

plt.rcParams['animation.html'] = 'jshtml'

anim

Now your animations are displayed in interactive javascript windows! This option is by far the most powerful one available to you.

Here are what each of the keys do (starting from the far left):

• speed up/slow down: + / –
• jump to end/start: |<< / >>|
• move one frame backwards/forwards: |< / >|
• play it backwards/forwards: < / >
• pause with the pause key

Moreover, you can choose to play it ‘Once’, ‘Loop’ infinitely or play forwards and backward indefinitely using ‘Reflect’.

To have all your animations render as either HTML5 video or in interactive javascript widgets, set plt.rcParams at the top of your code.

Conclusion

Excellent! You now know how to create basic animations in matplotlib. You know how to use FuncAnimaton, how to save them as videos or gifs, and plot animations in Jupyter notebooks.

You’ve seen how to create ‘drawing’ plots, but there are many other things you can do, such as creating moving plots, animating 3D plots, and even scatter graphs. But we’ll leave them for another article.

Apple might have exclusive on Intel’s 28W ‘Ice Lake’ processors

Intel appears to have made its speediest 10th-generation Ice Lake mobile processors exclusive to Apple’s MacBook lineup.

The chipmaker seems to have replaced that chip with the Core i7-1068NG7 SKU, the 10nm, 28-watt processor found in the new 13-inch MacBook Pro, as well as a new Core i5-1038NG67 chip.

Per NotebookCheck and Geekbench results, the “N” designation in the moniker is reserved for Apple-exclusive chips. In other words, Intel now appears to be marking certain 28W Ice Lake processors as chips unique to Apple notebooks.

It’s not just a shiny new coat of paint though, there’s also a brand new bonus story mission called Future Connected, and we’ve also had a pop at that along with it’s slightly altered and adjusted mechanics.

Make sure to check out the video above to hear all we have to say and see the game in action, and leave a comment below letting us know what you think of this souped-up Switch port.
