Game frame rate & Character animations (part 1)
A simple game does not always come with simple implementation w.r.t character animations. This articles will introduce a practical design pattern in game development to deal with this. How many animations in this game scene Let have a look at the famous game scene of flappy bird and try to identify how many animations. Fig 1. Flappy bird Visually, you may say there are two animations: the pipes...
Dimension, Dimension, Dimension – Reshape your data
The most basic yet important thing when working with data array is its dimensions. This article will cover several data shapes and reshaping techniques. Why need reshaping data Imagine that you are starving and suddenly given a piece of delicious food. You may try to put it all in your mouth (Fig 1a) and find out it cannot help your hunger. So, you decided to arrange your food so that it not only...

Word2vec with TensorFlow 2.0 – a simple CBOW implementation
In TensorFlow website, there is a good example of word embedding implementation with Keras. Nevertheless, we are curious to see how it looks like when implementing word2vec with PURE TensorFlow 2.0. What is CBOW In the previous article, we introduced Word2vec (w2v) with Gensim library. Word2vec consists of two-layer neural networks that are trained to reconstruct linguistic contexts of words. The...
