INPUT ARTICLE: Article: The engine is the underlying base of the game. It contains a host of development tools that ease the creation of a game. It is much more time-efficient and less complex to create a game using an existing engine than to create a new one from scratch. There are a variety of engines designed for indie developers. Engines often make it much simpler to manipulate graphics, sound, and AI. Different engines have different strengths and weaknesses. Some are more suited to 2D graphics, while others are designed for 3D graphics. Some engines require significantly more programming knowledge than others. There are several game development tools that you can use with no previous coding experience. Many engines have licensing fees, especially for commercial use. Popular independent development engines include: Unity A 3D engine popular for its ease of use and portability. Unity also supports 2D game development. Unreal Engine A engine that can be adapted to a wide range of uses. Many AAA games have been made using this engine. It also has Visual Scripting called Blueprints by default. Godot Engine - A Free and Open Source Engine which has become popular recently. More features added by contributors on every release. Has Visual Scripting and supports multiple programming languages. Can do both 2D and 3D. GameMaker: Studio One of the most popular 2D game engines. RPG Maker Series A scripting engine designed for 2D RPG is the traditional JRPG style. Source A very popular 3D engine that is consistently updated and modified. Project Spark - An optimized 3D engine that addresses the average user. Depending on the engine you choose, you may be facing a significant amount of programming. Even the most basic engines will require time to understand how to manipulate them. If the programming is beyond your capabilities, you'll either need to learn it or hire someone. This will be the beginning of your team-building phase. If you are unable to program, your first hire will need to be a programmer. You can worry about art and sound later; you need to be able to come up with a working prototype before the project can continue There is a large community of independent developers that you should be networking with. People will join projects for all kinds of different reasons and compensations. This is where having a solid game design document helps a lot because it shows that you commit to your idea. Once you are familiar with the engine you have chosen, build a prototype of the game. This prototype will serve as a basic test of the core functionality of the game. You don't need graphics or audio for the prototype, just simple placeholders (like a cube or a stick figure) and a small test area. Test and refine the prototype, again and again, to ensure that it is fun to play. Make note of anything that doesn't work or feel right, and readdress the mechanics involved. If the prototype isn't fun to play, then the final game probably won't be either. There will always be features that seemed easy or feasible that just won't work when it comes time to make the game. Expect the prototype to change multiple times as you tweak what works and what doesn't. The most basic functionality of the game is the player interacting with the game through some sort of control input. Use the prototype to ensure that the controls are as perfect as they can be. Games with poorly-implemented controls will frustrate players. Games with perfectly executed controls will be rewarding to a player's skill.

SUMMARY: Decide on an engine. Learn your engine or find someone who knows it. Build a prototype. Refine the controls.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Some Eno productstypically flavored commercial alternativescome in prepackaged sachets. Eno is also available in bulk containers of powder. Regardless of which product you're using, start by filling your glass with water. Now, either dissolve 1 sachet or 1 teaspoon (4.2 grams) of powder into your cup of water. Use room-temperature water for the best results. Don't dissolve your Eno in other liquids, such as juice, as it might not be as effective at fighting stomach acidity. When you experience heartburn or acid reflux, take Eno powder immediately. However, avoid taking Eno before meals as a preventative measureit's much more effective as a treatment when you're experiencing symptoms. Try to consume the Eno powder once it has dissolved in the water. After drinking your Eno, take note of your heartburn and acidity. After 2 to 3 hours, take another dose if symptoms persist. If they subside, hold off on dosing until they come back. Although you can wait until the bubbles settle down to drink Eno, you'll miss out on the bloating relief from the gas and pressure burp that they create. For persistent heartburn, sour stomach, upset stomach, and acid indigestion take your Eno 1 to 2 times daily to relieve symptoms. If you're symptoms persist after 14 days, stop taking Eno immediately and consult your doctor. Remember that Eno doesn't prevent acidity, it just provides relief for it. If your symptoms persist, ask your doctor about ways to prevent acidity for the best results. If you take Eno more than 2 times daily you risk changing your blood pH. This can result in alkalosis due to the alkaline nature of the ingredients.
Summary: Dissolve 1 sachet or 1 teaspoon (4.2 grams) of Eno powder into 1c (240mL) of water. Drink Eno after meals. Wait 2 to 3 hours before taking another dose of Eno powder. Take Eno only 2 times daily for a maximum of 14 days.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: If you need to shave, trim your nails or pluck your eyebrows, do it beforehand so that you don't waste time at his house. Have a discussion with your boyfriend before you sleep over as far as where you both are in your relationship physically. This will be different for everyone, but don't go through with a sleepover if you haven't set boundaries that you are both comfortable with. Deciding on boundaries beforehand will help you be prepared to handle any situations that could arise. Make sure you don't do anything at the boy's house that you would regret later. Be careful so that you don't get yourself in trouble or give yourself a bad reputation. If you're staying over on a school or work night, you want to make sure that you have enough time to get ready for the day. Waking up early also gives you an opportunity to do something sweet like make breakfast or write a cute thank-you note. If you have to leave early, make sure you say goodbye first. In case you need to leave early in the morning or decide you don't want to stay all night, come up with a plan. If something goes wrong, like he wants to move too quickly and physically than you're comfortable with or you're allergic to his pets, have a legitimate excuse. You could say that your parents need you to come home or that you're not feeling well. Don't be afraid to be honest and say that you need to go home. Honesty is still the best policy.

SUMMARY:
Take the time to clean up before sleeping over. Set boundaries beforehand. Wake up first. Have an exit plan.
