Google Stadia- Killed all the gaming industry [Futuristic]

Is Google Stadia, just a cloud gaming platform or is this a new Operating System Concept for whole gaming industry like a Andriod OS for Phones?
I guess we will find out as our kids gets older.

Being a hardcore gamer myself, i am so thrilled with the news today about Stadia from Google. Imaging being able to play 4K 60FPS Instantly without download, updates, patches. Imaging being able to play FAR CRY 4, GTA 5 without having to buy new GAMING PC and Hardware, directly through the cloud. All we need to do is sign up for Stadia (Netflix of Gaming, it may have some monthly subscription and full access to all games) then head to google chrome choose a game and start playing without having to install the game itself, its all driven by cloud technology.

Launching 2019 in US, Canada, UK and Europe to start with.
With the 5G being launched soon in the market this is a right time for both Cloud gaming + 5G to sync.

Cloud Gaming like Stadia needs a high internet bandwidth at least 100MB Download and low latency, this is just a guess and we will see about that in the future.

With this news, it just killed the whole gaming industry like Sony PS, Nintendo, Atari, Microsoft. This must be a sad news for them but a happy one for us.

We will never ever have to upgrade our hardware or buy a new PC in future to accommodate certain games, as its all covered by stadia cloud.

As Google says: “The future of gaming is not a box. It’s a place. One place for all the ways we play. Welcome to Stadia, an all-new gaming platform from Google for playing AAA video games across all the screens in your life. Gather around.”

Show Markers within the Circle Radius in Google Maps API V3 [Solved]

With new Google Maps API V3, lot of things has changed and added. Functions like contains, geometry, spherical, etc are just handful to take your maps to next level.

I’m Going to show you how you can easily achieve to show or hide markers that are within the circle radius.

A circle always needs a radius and a starting point lat, lng.
Calculating the marker distance from that point and matching withing the radius does the trick, let me show you how here.

In this tutorial i am going to create a function where when the map loads it will show all the Main Markers, upon click on one of the marker it will show the radius and show all other associated markers that falls within that radius region.

var  markerBranch = [];
for (var j = 0; j < MKABranches[coordinates].statebranch.length; j++) {

   markerBranch[j].addListener('click', function(event) {
// var clickedCoordinates = "{lat: " + this.lat + ", " + "lng: " + this.lng + "}";
this.highlighted = !this.highlighted;

var clickedCoordinates = {
  "clickedLocation" : [
  {lat: this.lat, lng: this.lng}
  ]
}

var clickPosition = this.lat;
if (this.highlighted){
  clickCircle( e = clickedCoordinates); // Passing variable to function with coordinates
  //console.log (circleMarkers);
  } else{
  DeleteCirMarker( e = this.lat );
  cityCircle[this.lat].setMap(null);
}
 });
}

This above snippet of code will make all your into an array, so that when you click on it, you could do this.highlighted = !this.highlighted;to toggle one click and off state and detect which marker you clicked.

Also i am storing clicked location’s Co-ordinates into an array so that i can use it for Circle’s Main marking point.

# Now once you have sorted making Markers into an Array (Assuming you have multiple Markers to click with its own radius of circle).

# Now you also have the clicked location into a variable called clickedCoordinates.

After above you just need to calculate the distance between all the markers in array and the center point of where you clicked which was stored in variable above.

Calculate if that marker falls inside Circle’s Radius like below:
for (var n = 0; n < MKABranches[coordinatesNew].potentialClients.length; n++) {

potentialCLK[e.clickedLocation[0].lat] = new google.maps.Marker({
position : {
lat : MKABranches[coordinatesNew].potentialClients[n].lat,
lng : MKABranches[coordinatesNew].potentialClients[n].lng
},
map : map,
icon: potentialclientsicon,
shape : shape,
latvalue : e.clickedLocation[0].lat
});

var distancePotential = google.maps.geometry.spherical.computeDistanceBetween (potentialCLK[e.clickedLocation[0].lat].getPosition(), centerLatLng);

if(distancePotential > globalRadius) {
potentialCLK[e.clickedLocation[0].lat].setMap(null);
} else {
circleMarkers.push(potentialCLK[e.clickedLocation[0].lat]);
potentialCLK[e.clickedLocation[0].lat].setMap(map);
}
}

Cleaner look of calculating distance between the Point that you clicked and if the markers those were in array falls inside this circle radius:
if(distancePotential > globalRadius) {
potentialCLK[e.clickedLocation[0].lat].setMap(null);
} else {
circleMarkers.push(potentialCLK[e.clickedLocation[0].lat]);
potentialCLK[e.clickedLocation[0].lat].setMap(map);
}

Freelance web developer in San Francisco

As you can see above, the blue marker in the middle of the circle radius was clicked and upon clicked we saved its clicked Co-ordinates into a variable and we used that Co-ordinate vs the radius vs the Markers to calculate if it falls within the Circle Radius show Markers that falls within the radius, if not set them to null using setMap(null)

Hope this helps!

Take your time to surf around internet to find and contact various web design companies to know what they have to offer, their cost, if they have right skills and how well they communicate with you. In such a virtual world these days, its complicated to get hold of the right team of web developers.

Major points to remember before you sign up with any Web Design Company:

  1. Full Package

The first thing to looking for in a good web developing company is if they provide a Full “All Inclusive” Package for your upcoming web development project. There are countless web design agencies out there and not all of them offer “Full Stack” service. Some may be skilled for Design, some for coding. What you should look for is all in one solution so that you don’t have to find one agency for Layout Design, another for Development, again another firm for Digital Marketing in order to save time, cost and all the headache.

  1. Right Skill

Make sure the technology that you want your website to be built in. Though you may not be a high tech person, knowing at least the basic terms like Framework (WordPress, Angular js, React js, PHP Code ignitor, etc.) or knowledge Programming Language (PHP, HTML, etc.) is a plus point as this helps in discussion with the developer. It will clarify more on your preference to the developer easing their task.

  1. Portfolio

Background check of the web development company that you are going to work with is an important factor before starting any project. Know if they have all the skills that is required to accomplish this project. Check onwhat kind of projects they have completed in the past to analyse quality of their work. Also keep in mind client testimonials and reviews about them. This will definitely help get some good information on what kind of work they will deliver if you are about to work with them.

Great websites are not built right away. It takes a lot of time and effort, planning and revisions to achieve what your client is looking for. If your client is in a rush and pressure is excessive at your end hindering your creativity, you are highly likely project won’t finish on time, neither you nor your client will be happy with the end result. Hence, deadline of the project is a crucial factor to discuss beforehand you commence the task in order to avoid any misunderstanding later.

  1. Know your budget

Always keep in mind your timeline and budget before you start your project. Price and Deadline is an important factor when are about to get a website created for your business. Know with various web development agencies to check on costing if you are about work with the right kind of web design firm to make sure you are not overpaying or underpaying.

Web Design Trends 2018

If you’re revamping your website in 2016, you probably need to know what all goes towards building a good web design.

Web design is a fast growing industry and to walk hand in hand with the latest technology, one must keep an eye on current trends i.e. what is going around, what is the new trend coming in this year, are they feasible?

Every year web design trends are influenced by famous platforms and technology. Enlisted below are some of the most important Trends to be followed in Web Design for 2018, let us know if you agree:

  1. Smart Website

The advancement of technology is in its rapid strength and gone are the days when all websites used to be of the same size. With new digital devices being developing every day, websites are to be developed based on user preference on which device they are highly likely using the website for. The most effective way to create a website is to build one that fits all screen sizes and resolutions. Hence, websites must be smart enough to cope with today’s technology.

  1. Bold, Expressive Design

An element of design that has always been important to graphic design is typography. Choosing the right font, font size, font bold, and font spacing is key. Expect to see bigger and bolder fonts. A low poly design or geometric shapes to give your work a 3D feel. The use of patterns, lines, and circles have been prominent for a few years now and that won’t be changing anytime soon.

  1. Animated Logos and Scroll

Animations are not new. In 2018 they are going to be used more. The craze for Gifs (Moving Images) is growing rapidly. A GIF is essentially made up of several images that are pieced together to create a short looping visual. You have to be more creative on how you want users to keep scrolling the website and turn them into potential customers. Logos are being transformed from being to a basic static icon to a mobile version that is more interactive.

  1. Web Applications

We can hardly find people who don’t use mobile applications these days. Each user say it kids have their own apps, elderly have theirs and in terms of tech companies they build their own best suited for their consumer needs. With this in mind, designers have started developing functionalities of websites based on mobile apps.

  1. Facebook

Facebook is becoming powerful day by day and it’s likely overtaking the space of websites. Users these days find it convenient to search anything on facebook search rather than other search engines making facebook a Must-have for any business if they want proper lead. Consumers directly message Business’s Facebook Page and get hold of the right person instead of browsing their website.

  1. Secure Web pages and Applications

With the news of hacking and data theft every now and then it has been more important than ever to protect our online accounts. In a fully digitized world like today, most of our private digital space can be jeopardize at any time without us knowing.The most important thing is not to underestimate the importance of Web application security. Many Web Design Agencies offer a wide range of security services to scan your website’s code, review code and make your website secure. Contact us today to discuss the security of your site.

  1. AI and Chat Bots

We all know how fast Artificial Intelligence is advancing and its use in web based platforms is growing at a massive rate. AI assistants like Siri and tech giants like Adobe is creating AI tools for web developers probably availble to use in near future. Many such developments are on the way and we will highly likely encounter one of them in web development sector in 2018.
