A game engine is a tool box that carries all the necessary equipment needed to rapidly build a consistent world just like the real world.
For example, in real life you would expect an apple to fall to the floor if you let it go from your hand.
Game makers use game engines to apply similar rules into their games which allow consistency across their game.
Main game program
The rendering engine creates the 3D images found in video games; most rendering engines rely on dedicated graphics tools and applications to complete these functions.
To put it simply, graphics applications like Direct3D, OpenGL, or Vulkan streamline the difficult process of dealing directly with the computers graphics processing unit , the component of the computer that handles the display of images.
Audio engine
The Audio Engine components of the Game Engine incorporates algorithms related to loading and modifying audio input and output.
Audio engine’s allow developers to load sound onto the game by decompressing and playing audio files to simulate game sound.
Possibilities are endless, an example of how complex audio engine’s can expand is the idea of a doppler effect.
Doppler effects can be represented as echoes, pitch/amplitude adjustments, and oscillations.
Is responsible for emulating realistic laws of physics within the application.
This consists of a set of functions for simulating physical forces and collisions.
Which acts on various objects within the application during run time.
Artificial Intelligence is implemented into different parts of the main game program.
For example, in player vs player video games, AI is used to create bots players can play against.

Abe Vigoda (February 24, 1921 – January 26, 2016) was an actor in both television and movie.
His most well known roles are playing mobster Sal Tessio in the movies The Godfather and The Godfather: Part II, and playing Detective Phil Fish on television shows Barney Miller and Fish, Fish having been a spinoff of Barney Miller.
Multiple death hoax
In 1982, People magazine said that Vigoda had died, even though he did not.
Vigoda took the error with a sense of humor, even appearing in a picture where he was in a coffin, holding said magazine.
Since then, the false death information, as well as the question to whether Vigoda is dead or alive, has been used as a joke sometimes on various television shows and internet websites, including abevigoda.com, a website that says if Vigoda is alive or dead.

Hercules: The Legendary Journeys is an American cult television series.
It aired from January 16 1995 until November 22 1999.
The series was created in 1995 by writer-producers Christian Willians under his production tag, Pacific Renaissance Pictures LTD with later co-executive producers being Sam Raimi, Robert Tapert, John Schulian and R. J. Stewart, the series is a Spin-off from the TV movies series aired in 1994, Hercules and the Amazon Women, Hercules and the Lost Kingdom, Hercules and the Circle of Fire, Hercules in the Underworld, and Hercules in the Maze of the Minotaur, the last of which served mostly as a clip show of the previous movies as a lead up to the series, was very loosely based on the tales of the classical Greek culture hero Hercules.
It ran for six seasons, producing action figures and other memorabilia as it became one of the highest rated syndicated shows in television history.
The series is set in a fantasy version of ancient Greece not precisely located in historical time.
Although set in ancient Greece, the show also has a mixture of Oriental, Egyptian and Medieval elements in various episodes.
The show stars Kevin Sorbo as Hercules and regularly features Michael Hurst as his sidekick Iolaus.
Robert Trebor often rotates with Iolaus as Hercules' other sidekick, Salmoneus.
Typical plot lines involve Hercules and Iolaus, or Salmoneus, saving rustic villagers from monsters, evil warlords or the often selfish whims of the gods.
In the earlier episodes, as mentioned in the show's opening title, Hercules' main nemesis is his evil stepmother Hera, who seeks to destroy Hercules using various monsters, because he is a reminder of her husband Zeus' infidelity.
As the series progressed, a wider range of enemies was used; notably, the malicious Ares, god of war, replaced Hera as the show's primary antagonist.
Towards the end of the series Ares is himself replaced by the evil god, Dahak, who is the main villain in the show's fifth season and sets off a story arc that has Hercules traveling to Sumeria, Norseland and Éire.
Although Zeus, Hercules' father, is frequently cited by Hercules as a neglectful father, Zeus' love for Hercules is well-documented in the show.
Indeed, Hercules is often referred to as the favorite son of Zeus.
Zeus makes several appearances on the show, even saving his son's life and restoring his superhuman strength on one occasion when he needs it the most.
Hercules, for his own part, is always there for Zeus when his father needs him, and in the end, Hercules reconciles with his father and buries whatever issues he has with the father he has come to understand and love.
The show had a successful spin-off, Xena: Warrior Princess, with which it shared recurring characters such as Ares, Autolycus, aforementioned Salmoneus, Aphrodite and Callisto.
Both shows, although produced in New Zealand using mostly local actors who strove for American accents, were syndicated worldwide.
Characters and cast
Hercules is the world's greatest hero.
The son of Zeus, King of the Gods and the mortal woman Alcmene, Hercules uses his divine strength in the aid of all people.
His father was never really there for him and Hercules looked on the centaur Ceridan, who was his master at the academy as a father figure.
Despite this, there are many who wish him dead.
Most notably, Hera, Queen of the Gods and the wife of Zeus, she despises Hercules because he is a testament to Zeus' infidelity and has tried to destroy Hercules and his loved ones at every opportunity.
Despite the many tragedies that have befallen him, not least of which both of his wives being killed, Hercules continued to be a force of good in the world.
Hercules is played by American actor Kevin Sorbo.
Iolaus has been Hercules' best friend for many years ever since they met at Cheiron's academy.
A former thief, Iolaus has long since repented his unlawful ways and is now a permanent force for good.
His happy-go-lucky attitude makes him a popular guy, especially among the ladies, but Iolaus has had more than his fair share of tragedy.
Not only did he lose his wife Anya and their children to mysterious circumstances, but Iolaus himself has been killed three times.
The first two times Hercules brought him back without too much hassle, but the third time was more complicated.
In saving Nebula, Iolaus was killed by the treacherous Gilgamesh and Dahak took Iolaus' body as his own.
Hercules teamed up with Zarathrusta to defeat Dahak and Iolaus was allowed to become a Servant of the Light in Heaven.
Iolaus broke his pact with the angels however, in warning Hercules of Michael's plan to unleash the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse on the world.
As punishment Iolaus was deprived of his status of Servant of the Light, but allowed to return to Earth to fight at Hercules' side.
Iolaus is played by actors Michael Hurst and Dean O'Gorman.

Differences from the original mythology
Hercules is shown to be a younger half-brother to Iphicles, while the myth states that Hercules was born a fraternal twin but half-brother to Iphicles since both Zeus and Amphitryon impregnated Alcmene at the same time.
Jason is pictured here to be older than Hercules and marries Alcmene, which never happens in the myth.
The mythical Jason dies when a part of Argos falls on him.
Also, Jason and Hercules are somewhat the same age in the myth.
Hercules never was along Atalanta in the myth, nor along Daedalus.
Salmoneus is the name of a man who tried to impersonate Zeus.
Hercules is sent after Persephone by Demeter.
In the myth, Hermes is who was sent to rescue Persephone from Hades, and Persephone's stay is a result of eating the pomegranate seeds while staying there.
Hercules is supposed to be a royal member from the House of Perseus.
No mention of Perseus is ever made in the story.
The mythical Iolaus was a son of Iphicles and Automedusa, and Hercules' eromenos in the Theban version of the myth, where the relationship was said to pre-figure or originate the Theban Band.
Arachne did not become a dangerous spider monster as depicted in the show.
She simply keeps weaving after Athena turns her into a spider.
Hercules never falls in love with Psyche due to a love arrow, nor did Hera curse her grandson Cupid to become a green-eyed monster.
Apollo is portrayed as an arrogant god.
In the myth, Apollo is whom Hercules consults on the purification after he kills his first wife, Megara, while he is under Hera's madness.
Hercules fights the Minotaur in the series.
In the myth, it is Theseus who slays the Minotaur.
The mythical Hercules kills his first wife, Megara, and their children after Hera strikes him with madness.
In the series Hercules' first wife is Deianeira, and Hera kills her directly with a fireball.
This story does not exist in the myth.
Deianeira was Hercules' third wife, who accidentally tricked him into his death.
He is later ascended by Zeus into with Hera's consent and married one of his half-sisters, Hebe, a daughter of Zeus and Hera.
No mention of Hebe is made in these TV series.
Hades looks younger than Zeus when he is supposed to be the older brother of Zeus even before Poseidon.
Hades and Hercules are shown here to be allies, while in the myths Hades rarely works with Hercules, aside from that of a framed-up death.
Hades never has an alliance with Hercules in the myth, although the two are not enemies.
Also Hades has his own infidelities with two nymphs whom his niece/wife Persephone turns into plants.
Aphrodite and Ares' relationship is not very emphasized, though flirtations between them are shown.
Ares' paternity to Cupid is not stated clearly.
Also, it should be emphasized that Aphrodite never has a happy relationship with Hephaestus nor do they reconcile and Aphrodite frequently cheats on him with Ares.
Echidna never turns good nor befriends Hercules in the myth, where she has the body of a serpent with the head of a woman and is a Titan herself.
She is not an octopus–like creature, as is portrayed in the show.
In some sources of the myth, she mates with Hercules to produce three children who are all human.
Here Hercules runs away from the offer to impregnate the fifty daughters of a king which in the myth he is tricked into sleeping with by the king who sends one daughter to his bed each night for fifty nights, Hercules believes them to be only one woman.
The Hydra, Cerberus, Ladon, Medusa, Minotaur are specific, not generic monsters in mythology.
Also Hydra, Cerberus, Orthrus, Chimera, the Nemean Lion, the Sphinx, Ethon and Ladon are siblings to each other, sons and daughters of Echidna and Typhon.
Typhon is violent in the myth and Hera never locks him away as punishment to Echidna until she can kill Hercules.
It is Zeus who locks Typhon away to separate him from Echidna, to avoid them from conceiving any more monsters after the war with the Titans is over.
There are no accounts in most Greek myths which state that Hercules met Zoroaster, fought with somebody who seems to be the archangel Michael, helped Thor and all.
Dahak is derived from a Persian myth based on the evil god Aži Dahāka, of darkness and sworn enemy to Allah or, in some, Ahura Mazda.
The idea of helping Thor comes from the Marvel Comics incarnation.
Ares is also supposed to be rejected by his own refined mother, Hera.
But in the series, the two seem to get along and Hera seems to be unrefined like Ares.
Ares is also portrayed in the series to be much of a Satan–like character in the later episodes, that is until Dahak comes.
Hera is portrayed to be quite evil in some ways.
Though in the Greek myths she only wants to inflict harm on Hercules and only does evil as a last resort, unlike her son Ares who harms many people.
In the myth, Hera asks for Hercules' forgiveness when Hercules saves her from being raped by the Titan Portheryon and performs all labors required of him.
She allows her daughter Hebe to marry Hercules when he becomes a full deity.
In the series, after Hercules reunites Zeus and Hera, she stops hating Hercules, and even helps him stop Zeus from killing Xena's unborn child.
Hercules becomes a full deity by Zeus, only to defeat Hera and Hercules later denounces his position.
In the Greek myth, Hercules becomes a full deity because of Zeus' decision that his heroism surpasses the other demigods.
When he meets Hera on Mt. Olympus, he is already at peace with Hera.
Hephaestus is supposed to be a lame and ugly god, but in the series he is good-looking.
Also, he reunites with Aphrodite after the many times she cheated on him, presumably with Ares, Hermes, Dionysus and even Adonis, which never happens in the myth.
No mention of Hippolyta being Ares' daughter is ever made in the movie Hercules and the Amazon Women.
Hermes is portrayed to be big and chubby, when most myths portray him to be slim and short.
Hera appears as a pair of peacock-feathered eyes for many episodes, which in the mythology never happens, though this is a nod to her signature bird the peacock, on whose tail she placed the hundred eyes of her dead servant Argos Panoptes after his slaying by Hermes.
Hera is never imprisoned in Tartarus and freed by Evander.
Also, if she appears in the sky, she always shows her full face or part of her.
Also Hera's blue monks never take over Troy.
Hercules never has a mission to retrieve fire from Hera, who takes it away from Prometheus.
In the myth, Zeus wants to get fire away from the mankind, not Hera, and Prometheus is condemned by Zeus to be chained for giving the fire to the mankind.
Hera turns Atlas into stone.
In Greek mythology, however, it is Perseus who turns Atlas to stone with the Medusa's head.
Hera never banishes Nemesis into a mortal body for not wanting to kill Hercules.
In the myth, Evander is not a son of Ares, but of Hermes and Nemesis.
Also, Hera never falls in love with Adonis.
Adonis is not killed by Zeus but by the jealous Ares who is somewhat still in love with Aphrodite.

Anchor Bay Entertainment has released all 6 seasons of Hercules: The Legendary Journeys as well as all TV-Movies on DVD in Region 1 for the very first time.

The Grammy Award for Best Alternative Music Album is an award given to recording artists for quality albums in the alternative rock genre at the Grammy Awards.
The Grammy Awards were established in 1958 and originally called the Gramophone Awards.
Honors in several categories are presented at the ceremony each year by the National Academy of Recording Arts and Sciences of the United States to "honor artistic achievement, technical proficiency and overall excellence in the recording industry, without regard to album sales or chart position".
The definition of "alternative" has been debated.
The award was first presented in 1991 to recognize non-mainstream rock albums "heavily played on college radio stations".
According to the Academy, the award is presented to "vocal or instrumental alternative music albums containing at least 51% playing time of newly recorded music".
The Academy defines "alternative" as a "non-traditional" genre that exists "outside of the mainstream music consciousness".
In 1991, and from 1994 to 1999, the award was known as Best Alternative Music Performance.
Beginning in 2001, award recipients included the producers, engineers, and/or mixers associated with the nominated work in addition to the recording artists.
As of 2011, Radiohead and The White Stripes share the record for the most wins in this category, having won three times each.
Radiohead's lead singer, Thom Yorke, was also nominated for the 2007 award for his solo album.
Beck and Coldplay have each received the award twice, the latter being the only group to win two years in a row.
American artists have been presented with the award more than any other nationality, though it has been presented to musicians or groups from the United Kingdom five times, from Ireland twice, and from France once.
Female musicians Tori Amos and Björk hold the record for the most nominations without a win, with five each.
Note: User must select the "Alternative" category as the genre under the search feature.

It was aired on FOX Kids Network from September 12, 1998 to May 12, 1999.
It lasted only one season with 50 episodes, and starred Ryan Gosling, replacing Ian Bohen from the pilot movie as the title character.
Ian Bohen was offered the part, but opted not to spend an entire year in New Zealand where the series would shoot principal photography.
The show features the efforts of Ares, the god of war, played by Kevin Smith, who attempts often to destroy his younger half-brother to win over Zeus' good graces.
Among his group is his nephew Strife (Joel Tobeck), who is the rather weaker member of the team.
Strife's partner is Discord, goddess of retribution (Meighan Desmond), who acts more level-headed and power hungry than her counterpart on more than one occasion.
The storyline follows Hercules (Ryan Gosling) as he attends Cheiron's Academy to train in the arts of the warrior under the wise headmaster Cheiron the Centaur (Nathaniel Lees).
He makes friends with the future king of Corinth, the prince Jason (Chris Conrad) and a thieving former member of a bandit group Iolaus (Dean O'Gorman) who was sentenced to the training academy as an alternative to prison for his crimes.
Hercules also meets the academy's first female cadet, Lilith (Jodie Rimmer).
Other characters of interest include Kora, the Inn Keeper, who unknown to Hercules and his friends, is a devotee of Artemis, Goddess of the Hunt.
As the series develops, Kora is revealed to have special powers which allow her to do Artemis' bidding.
There are hints of romance between Hercules and Kora, although their friendship keeps it all innocent.
The overall plot of the show is to fill in any of the gaps that may exist between the version of Hercules: The Legendary Journeys and the episodes that transpire from his young adult life, although very loosely due to its continuity errors by neglecting the Young Hercules movie and the flashback episodes of the fourth season of Hercules''.

Emmaus is a place in named in the Bible, where Jesus had supper with two followers.
These two people met Jesus after his Resurrection.
The two disciples walked together on the road.
Jesus started walking together with them.
But they never recognized Jesus.
They started to tell him what happened in Jerusalem, when Jesus was crucified.
Jesus continued walking with them until they got to a village called Emmaus.
They started eating supper.
The two disciples still did not recognize Jesus.
But when Jesus blessed the food amnd broke the bread they recognized him.
When they did recognize him, he vanished.
That very day two of them were going to a village (one hundred and) sixty stadia away from Jerusalem called Emmaus, and they were speaking about all the things that had occurred.
And it happened that while they were speaking and debating, Jesus himself drew near and walked with them, but their eyes were prevented from recognizing him … As they approached the village to which they were going, he gave the impression that he was going on farther.
But they urged him, ‘Stay with us, for it is nearly evening and the day is declining.’
So he went in to stay with them.
And it happened that, while he was with them at table, he took bread, said the blessing, broke it, and gave it to them.
With that their eyes were opened and they recognized him.
According to a very ancient Christian tradition, Emmaus is today's Arab village of Amwas, which lies 160 stadia (30 km, 19 miles) to the West of Jerusalem.
It can take 6 to 7 hours to come from Jerusalem to Emmaus on foot, if one walks across the mountains of Judea.
The place was called Nicopolis during the 3d-7th centuries AD.
During Byzantine times, two big Basilicas (churches) where built here with beautiful mosaics and a baptistry (a place for baptism).
Many manuscripts of the Gospel of Luke have a shorter distance between Jerusalem and Emmaus: 60 stadia (12 km, 7 miles).
It is this distance which is found in modern printed Bibles.
During the Crusader and Renaissance times many Christians, traveling to the Holy Land, were looking for Emmaus at the distance of 7 miles from Jerusalem.
That's why several villages which lie 12 km away from Jerusalem were thought to be Emmaus.
Even today one can find three Emmaus in the Holy Land: Emmaus Nicopolis, Qubeibe and Abu-Gosh!

Greek numerals are a system of representing numbers using letters of the Greek alphabet.
They are also known by the names Milesian numerals, Alexandrian numerals, or alphabetic numerals.
In modern Greece, they are still in use for ordinal numbers, and in much of the same way that Roman numerals are in the West; for ordinary (cardinal) numbers, Arabic numerals are used.
The acrophonic system was replaced by a new alphabetic system, sometimes called the Ionic numeral system, from the 4th century BC.
