Supposed to be returning to the feel of the original, which can only be a good thing.


I need to hurry up and get my NAS sorted so I can make the space to install it though. :(

I can play on two of the levels with the settings turned up. If I try doing that on Shangri La, it doesn't fare so well.


Annoyingly I have to go reset it every time, as the demo doesn't save my video settings. :'(

I've only been playing the dark messed up city level (death match), I'll tryout the others after this second round of "mid"terms <_<

Heh yeah, that's probably the least resource-intensive level, I think they put it in mainly to show off the big spider robot thingy.


Goodluck with what I presume to be exam-like things?

yes, midterms are exams... how ever, with a name like "midterm" one would think that they happen in the middle of the term (in this case, term = quarter), but no... we have three such tests, except we call the last one a final...
Some of the questions are easy-ish: diagramming a finite state machine of regular expressions and can we write our own regex. Then again we get shit ones like:
Quote
Given a regular expression r used to construct a (NFA) Non-deterministic Finite Automaton, which is then used to scan a string s, what is the size of the NFA, and how much time does it take to scan the string?
(A)  space = O(|r|); time = (|r|x|s|)
(B)  space = O(|r|); time = (|s|)
©  space = O(|r|x|s|); time = (|r|x|s|)
(D)  space = O(|r|x|s|); time = (|s|)
I have no idea what the question is let alone the answer...
one point for correct
minus half a point for wrong
zero points if marked with a 'z'
a third of the test is multiple choice

:blink: WTF!? Losing points for getting it wrong!? That's shit.


We kinda have a similarish system I think - for A-levels certain subjects have January exams, in addition to the main May-July ones. Or at least they did, though I think they've changed it all about now anyway.

Do you have coursework in addition to exams?

For my Math class I have problem sets to turn in.problem sets (http://people.ucsc.edu/~yorik/Math21/homework.htm). My programming course has assignments due every once in a while; a total of five I think.
