620x465 Amazing amazing alex Alex, Rovio, available from this Thursday

Rovio

became known worldwide as the company that unleashed the fury of Angry Birds. The game of the Finnish firm became a global boom that gave new life to the industry for mobile gamer. But the developer did not rest on our laurels or content with this success.

Months ago Rovio released a new game called “Amazing Alex”, and recently confirmed for release this Thursday 12 July . The proposal will be available for IOS and Android devices and will entertain in style. The glossy title will be a litmus test for the European company but we assume that exceed smoothly.

Alex Amazing offer a variety of levels where you have to solve puzzles mechanics and physics . The developers promise 100 different tests with free updates, as well as the possibility that players create and share their own scenarios.

We note that the game itself is not 100% again. The title was originally released as Casey’s Contraptions , but Rovio was purchased and modified to make it what it is today. One of the pluses is that the Finns have a great marketing machine around Angry Birds that will be of great help to promote Amazing Alex.

We will be watching to see how it plays the new game iOS and Android. While counting down the hours to the launch are invited to see the official trailer.

Fantastic

have given the review at Ars Technica to history and evolution of the X Window System , a window system that was developed in the early 80′s and very quickly became the standard for all UNIX systems of the era, revolutionizing the market with legendary concept.

A remarkable evolution: From X to Wayland

This concept

legendary, as told in the original article was that it was a GUI designed for network environments : you could display windows of any team in any other, and that brutal power was also joined to the abstraction of “look and feel” of the system’s own server. The X protocol defined things like keyboard and mouse type devices and screens early, but left by the appearance of window managers or desktop environments.

Thereafter

the evolution of The X Window System is accelerating and it was crucially contributed operating system GNU / Linux, he used this system and was also responsible for the same evolution, among other things there were problems between the X and OpenGL , but in 2007 solved the issue with calls Translation Table Maps (TTM) and finally there was an API to handle the tasks of 3D graphics applications .

However, the API

TTM was huge in size, which had caused confusion and difficulties in its implementation. alternatives emerged as GEM (Graphics Execution Manager) in 2008, but at the time would come the real alternative: Wayland .

Kristian

Hogsberg creating a software engineer from Boston, started as a solution to the problem, and the idea was to develop a completely new display manager 3D output sent directly to the kernel, bypassing the X . In fact, one of the customers of the new window manager would be the very X. What he called Wayland why? Because Hogsberg drove through this small town in Massachusetts, United States, when he had the happy idea.

Ars Technica

describes some of the advantages of Wayland, a server which we have already spoken in the past and for many is the great hope in this field. You have many more details in the original article at Ars Technica, and of course what is clear is that none of this would have been possible without the legendary The X Window System .
