Triple J
Triple J is an Australian government-funded national radio station founded in 1975 as a division of the Australian Broadcasting Corporation (ABC). It aims to appeal to young listeners of alternative music, and plays far more Australian content than commercial networks. The station was set up under the Gough Whitlam government, wanting to extend the appeal of the ABC to young Australians. Initially broadcasting as 2JJ or Double Jay from 19 January 1975, it stood apart from commercial stations with its lack of private advertising and its fringe music programming. Following a transition to FM in 1981, the station rebranded as 2JJJ or Triple J as it expanded regionally throughout the 1990s. Two spin-off digital stations were launched in the early 2010s: Double J aims to appeal to more mature audiences, and Triple J Unearthed plays only unsigned, local musicians. Despite declining ratings in their target 18–24-year-old demographic, Triple J maintains a strong podcast and ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Cook Craig
Nicholas Roderick "Cook" Craig is an Australian musician, singer and songwriter and is a part of groups King Gizzard & the Lizard Wizard and the Murlocs. Craig releases music under the name Pipe-eye. Solo history Pipe-eye's debut EP ''Cosmic Blip'' was released in 2015. The EP was recorded in his bedroom in Fairfield, Victoria. Nicholas Johnson from Brag Magazine gave the EP 4 out of 5 saying "Pipe-Eye knows how to spit some serious cosmic wisdom. Then they leave you to ponder it over the course of the 30 to 60 second segue tracks that pepper the record. It adds a nice buffer to what is otherwise essentially a four-track EP by giving it a theatrical feel… It may not resonate with everyone, I'm sure some will feel cheated by the 50 per cent split between songs and noisy interludes. But it gives the songs – all of which would stand quite nicely as singles – a little bit of breathing space without the risk of adding half-baked tracks for the sake of filler." Pipe-eye's de ...

A Commodore 64 port followed in 1984. Gameplay ''Fortress'' is a game in which the goal is to be the player who finishes the game with the most territory.

If a new castle is built, it appears with four flags in each cardinal direction showing its zone of control. Players must place their castles in a way so they control most of the playing field. Because the field is limited, after a few turns there is a conflict between the opposing players where the most powerful castle wins. When playing against the computer, there are five opponents to choose from: "The Squire" (beginner), "Lord Maginot" (the master of defense who will parry the player's ...

The architecture is designed around the 8-bit MOS Technology 6502 CPU and three custom coprocessors which provide support for sprites, smooth multidirectional scrolling, four channels of audio, and other features. The graphics and sound are more advanced than most of its contemporaries, and video games are a key part of the software library.

Stereoscopy
Stereoscopy, also called stereoscopics or stereo imaging, is a technique for creating or enhancing the depth perception, illusion of depth in an image by means of stereopsis for binocular vision. The word ''stereoscopy'' derives . Any stereoscopic image is called a stereogram. Originally, stereogram referred to a pair of stereo images which could be viewed using a stereoscope. Most stereoscopic methods present a pair of two-dimensional images to the viewer. The left image is presented to the left eye and the right image is presented to the right eye. When viewed, the human brain perceives the images as a single 3D view, giving the viewer the perception of Three-dimensional space, 3D depth. However, the 3D effect lacks proper focal depth, which gives rise to the Vergence-accommodation conflict. Stereoscopy is distinguished from other types of 3d display#3D displays, 3D displays that display an image in Three-dimensional space, three full dimensions, allowing the observer to ...
