![]() from as far back as 2005 –we have you covered. Even with some eye candy enabled, we were able to consistently produce 30fps on Intel HD CPUs.Įven if you have an Intel GPU from before the HD series – things like the X3100, GMA 945, 'Intel 4 series', etc. Of course as you increase the draw distance and enable advanced shadows and reflections the framerate will decrease, but we have made every effort to maximise performance and I think it is safe to say we have achieved far more from Intel GPUs than any other modern game engine – many of which do not even work on Intel graphics. With a decent CPU (Intel Core i3 or above) you should have no trouble seeing 60 fps with better graphics quality than Java. We have made every effort to ensure that even people stuck with Shader Model 2 graphics cards from 10+ years ago can enjoy NXT, albeit at lower quality, of course.įor those with Intel HD graphics, you have not been forgotten about. NXT even works on cards like the Nvidia GeForce 6150 from 2005 and the ATI Radeon 9800 from 2003. Thanks to OpenGL’s excellent backwards compatibility, we are able to scale things down and to support some positively ancient cards too. Considering some of the modern effects we do at max graphics settings and the fact that we do shadows and irradiance in real time, this is an incredibly low recommended spec compared to other games on the market As a more concrete example: a Radeon HD 7770 or a GeForce GTX 460 will be able to max out NXT at 1080p 60 fps. The end result of our optimisations is higher FPS across the board and equality between cards. We have spent hundreds of man-hours with specialist tools offered by AMD and Nvidia to get everything possible out of their cards. With at least one AMD user on the NXT team, you can rest assured that NXT will run well regardless of which camp you fall into. In terms of GPU brands, we are currently seeing roughly equal performance between equivalent Nvidia and AMD cards. Our state-of-the-art rendering layer also means NXT is completely agnostic of any rendering API, so unlike Java there will not be visual differences between APIs. ![]() We hope to support more modern rendering APIs soon, and we have built NXT so it would be easy to add DirectX 12 or Vulkan support in the future. That being said, there are some very old graphics cards out there that do not work correctly with OpenGL– for that scenario we are taking a leaf out of Google’s book and using the same system they use in Chrome to run our OpenGL code under DirectX 9 via Angle - a last resort, if your graphics card isn’t up to scratch. It allows us to target the greatest range of computers with the fewest compromises. We have selected OpenGL because of its superior cross-platform support, as well as backwards compatibility. There has been some confusion over why we have selected OpenGL instead of DirectX, with misinformation about it being somehow worse than DirectX – this is completely false! Remember that we are starting from scratch – don’t take the current RuneScape DirectX and OpenGL settings as an example of how the two compare. ![]() We are not holding back modern GPUs, even low powered ones like the Intel HD series – it is our aim to squeeze as much performance as possible out of any given hardware. Despite that, we able to also support as low as OpenGL 2.0 at a minimum, which was released around the same time as Half-Life 2 – 12 years ago in 2004! Not only that, but we have managed to pull off modern triple-A effects on graphics cards from over a decade ago – so even on really low end hardware, NXT still looks amazing.įor newer graphics cards, we will be taking advantage of features added in later versions of OpenGL to provide high-fidelity lighting and shadows in the most efficient way possible. Since we are building a brand new game engine from the ground up, we have complete freedom with our system requirements. We have no plans to lose that reputation with NXT, and we are pulling out all the stops to make NXT run better than the existing Java-based client on any PC, and look better at the same time. Short answer – yes! RuneScape has earned a reputation as a game that can be played on very modest hardware, with some of the lowest system requirements of any actively maintained game. With the release of more amazing screenshots and videos of the new NXT client, no doubt the question many of you want answered is whether you can play it without having to go out and buy a new PC. Here's the next in our NXT dev blog series, answering one of the biggest questions - can I run it? (Spoilers: yes, you can!)

Dust again with icing sugar before serving. Sandwich with the top cookie, dust with icing sugar, and let sit for about a day in an airtight container so that they become soft and chewy and delicious. Spread each bottom with a smear of raspberry jam (you’ll need about 1 cup total / 1 tsp-ish per cookie, depending on size). Once cool, match up the whole cookie bottoms with the star cut-out cookie tops. Bake in the preheated 350˚F (325˚F convection) oven for about 10-11 minutes, rotating the pans halfway through baking, until golden brown. Place the cookies on a parchment paper-lined baking sheet and freeze for about 5 minutes, until firm (this will keep the cookies from spreading and preserve your frilly edges and central star). On a lightly floured surface, roll out each portion of dough into a scant 1/4″ thick slab (if the dough is too stiff to roll, try whacking it a few times with your rolling pin – this will soften the butter without warming it up).Ĭut out rounds with a fluted cookie cutter (I used a 1 3/4″ round cutter to make smaller cookies, but anything around 2″ is good), then use a small star cutter (mine comes from an aspic cutter set) to punch a star in the middle of half the rounds. ![]() Bake the cookies for 20 to 25 minutes, until the edges begin to brown. The dough will be quite soft and sticky, so divide it into 2 portions, wrap each in plastic, press into discs, and chill for at least 1 hour. Place all the cookies on an ungreased baking sheet and chill for 15 minutes. Mix in the flour-nut mixture in 2 additions, scraping the bowl after each addition. When light and fluffy, beat in one at a time: Tip the toasted walnuts into the bowl of a food processor and pulse until finely ground. Be sure to pulse, so this does not make almond butter. Step 2: If using whole almonds, process the almonds and a ¼ cup of the brown sugar in a food processor, until they are finely ground. Place 1 1/2 cups walnut halves on a baking sheet and toast in a 350˚F (325˚F convection) oven until browned and fragrant, about 8 minutes. Make cookie dough: Step 1: In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon. Makes lots – the yield will depend on the size of your cookie cutter. In fact, I’m quite positive that Santa would appreciate a few of these left with a glass of milk (or a beer, which my Dad told me that Santa prefers) beside the chimney on Christmas eve!Īdapted from Canadian Living. ![]() It’s hard to eat just one Linzer cookie, and luckily for you, there is still time to bake these before Christmas. Two nutty, fragrantly-spiced cookies sandwich a smear of sweet-tart raspberry jam, which changes the texture of the cookies from crisp and snappy to tender and soft. ![]() They have that traditional Old World Christmas feel thanks to their Austrian roots, and are just fussy enough (rolling the dough, cutting out the cookies, assembling them, etc) to fall into the “special occasion” category. Last year I made a Linzer torte – rich walnut pastry spiced with cinnamon, cloves, and lemon zest filled with raspberry jam – that ended up being my favourite item on the Christmas Baking List, and I couldn’t wait to try it in cookie form. If you’re looking for the perfect Christmas cookie, I think I may have found it: the Linzer cookie. ![]() ![]() The list shows a sample of whatever you’ve copied, like this: Once you’ve copied and pasted a few things, a list will start to form. Once installed, Jumpcut will appear as a small scissors icon in your menu bar. It looks and functions almost exactly the same, however, unlike JumpCut, you can get Fl圜ut from the Mac App Store. Note: Not comfortable with allowing JumpCut on your Mac? Fl圜ut is a “fork” of JumpCut – this means it’s a version of JumpCut built by a separate team to add additional features by building on the original application. Or you can go to Applications, locate the app, right-click and select Open. Since this is a safe app, you can go to System Preferences > General and pick “Open Anyways” to allow Jumpcut to run. This is completely normal – by default, your Mac tries to protect you from potential viruses by preventing unrecognized programs from running. When you do download it, you will probably see a message saying the app can’t be opened because it is from an unidentified developer. It’s not the fanciest app, but it has been around for a while and will work reliably. JumpCut is an open-source clipboard tool that will allow you to see your full clipboard history as needed. There are a lot of options, so here are a few of our favorites. If you want to copy multiple things, you’ll need to install a clipboard tool to accomplish this. Note: This clipboard feature is pretty limited since you can only see one thing at a time and you can’t recover old items that you’ve copied. To copy something to the clipboard, select it and then press Command + C, and to paste it press Command + V. For example, my clipboard contains a sentence of plain text, but it can also store images or files. When you do this, a small window will pop up and show you what’s being stored and what type of content it is. You can see what’s stored there by opening Finder and then choosing Edit > Show Clipboard. The clipboard is the place where your Mac stores the item you most recently copied. ![]() Thanks to this app, you now have a new option for leaving your smartphone in your pocket and getting work done on the inch and a half wide screen residing on the back of your wrist. It can read existing PDF text, newly added text, and even help you rename or insert blank pages into your PDF documents. (Transferring files as large as 50 MB will take few minutes.) To open a PDF in the app, simply browse the file manager on your smartphone, select a PDF, and choose the option to open it in "PDF Reader". Within a moment, it will be transferred to your Wear smartwatch. Text-to-speech, annotation features like notes and highlights, and the option to save an edited PDF are in the works (just kidding). Before we jump into the technicalities, let’s take a moment to understand what PDF text to speech conversion is all about. According to the listing in Google play, additional options are available after a long press on a screen, including a list of files transferred to the app. Speechify is also the 1 rated text-to-speech app in the App Store with over 150,000 reviews. ![]() Speechify is the 1 text to speech program that turns any written text into spoken words in natural-sounding language.

PDF Reader for Android Wear Lets You Read PDFs On Your Wrist We’ll take a closer look at some of the best PDF text to speech apps for Android users, explore their features, and why each app is good to use for reading PDFs out loud. I thought I needed to do this for myself, and I started working on it with two friends as a side project- “Freddieats”- in parallel to our jobs. I had never dreamt of anything in such detail before, so I was quite surprised. From this, I began to think about starting my own side project, and then coincidentally dreamt one night of a food app that would help me fill my fridge with personalised, healthy foods in one click, and how it might feel to use it. First, at my last job at Siemens, I developed a program for entrepreneurship that helped intrapreneurs build their corporate startups. There are a few aspects or parts to the story. What inspired you to create a food- and diet-tracking app like Choosy? However, I have always been interested in entrepreneurship- and when I think about my role models, they’re mainly entrepreneurs. Stepping out of the corporate sphere and into the entrepreneurial world definitely took some time getting used to. My first job was as a Solution Architect at Siemens. I was in the corporate world for quite a long time- almost ten years- during which I studied electrical engineering and management. Do you think you could tell us what life was like before you worked on Choosy? Therefore Choosy takes personal taste as preference and helps people transition their eating habits over time so that their gut has time to adjust. But changing eating behaviour is tough - everyone who has tried to stick to a diet before knows that. That’s why it requires a ‘mass action change’. It’s relevant because much of what we eat today destroys our planet and our health. With ‘for good’ we mean to both better the health of our society and the health of our planet as we help people stick to their new eating habits long term. With Choosy, we are trying to change eating habits for good. What are you trying to achieve with Choosy, and why do you think it matters? We launched the app a couple of months ago, and we’re happy with the results it’s generating. ![]() We want to create healthy and sustainable eating habits through an app that helps people plan their meals and weekly grocery shopping, so that they might become more conscious about these things. ![]() I'm Vanessa Westphal, the COO and one of three co-founders of Choosy.
