Originally, the Lighting Gremlin action figure (not really a figure considering it’s a flat piece of plastic) was going to be straight-up cut from the line until NECA decided to make it a Toys R Us exclusive during July 2012. But our story isn’t over yet, no, we got more to cover! There was much rejoicing within the fandom and was such a successful toy that NECA decided to reissue it in 2018. However in 2013, the phoenix rised from the ashes as they announced the Spider Gremlin would be going into production and released by December that year. Some Gremlins fans (like myself) assumed that NECA didn’t have much confidence this license would sell well for them and that it was too expensive to produce. He was shown once and never again while the other figures were released. But the biggest elephant in the room to address right now is a deluxe figure of Mohawk after he drinks the Spider serum from the Slice of Life Laboratory, turning him into an arachnid-gremlin mutant. It is unknown if this guy was going to be his own standalone figure or was just there to show what the rest of the “Flasher” looks like. Revealed among the Series 1 and 2 figures was a generic Type 1 Green Gremlin that was the same sculpt as the Flasher figure, just without the plastic trenchcoat. First off, let’s go way back to Toy Fair 2011 when the “New Batch” was first announced. Many of the figures in this line have a notorious habit for being ready for production and release yet nearly cancelled at the last minute. Series 2 consisted of “Combat” Gizmo with his Rambo style headband and arrow “grenade launcher,” Mohawk Mogwai, Daffy Mogwai, Lenny Gremlin, Phantom Gremlin, and a generic Type 1 Brown Gremlin. The revamped line mostly focused on characters from The New Batch first as Series 1 consisted of Gizmo (an SDCC variant of him with a miniature souvenir bag and sunglasses), George in both his Mogwai and gremlin forms, Lenny Mogwai, Daffy Gremlin, and the Flasher Type 1 Gremlin. In 2011, NECA decided to revisit Gremlins by producing updated action figures featuring the mischievous Mogwais and reptilian creatures from the films with more articulation, better paint application, intricate detail, and had a special feature on the back of the Mogwai heads that allowed their eyeballs to rotate at a 90 degree angle. ![]() Both these figures would be rereleased in 2008 with Brain Gremlin going to Cult Classics Icons right when the line was running out of steam. An action figure of Mohawk was released with the first Cult Classics line in 2005, along with a large limited edition replica statue. ![]() NECA’s first venture with the Gremlins franchise was in 2003 with semi-articulated and detailed action figures of 1984 Gizmo, Stripe, Poker Gremlin, and Brain Gremlin.

Fortunately, it’s pretty easy to pick up. If you want to be a web developer, HTML is the first thing you should learn. There are different tags for displaying headings, paragraphs, buttons, line breaks, images, and much more. Tags are elements on the page that describe how content should be displayed. Notice how this page you’re reading has headings in larger font and breaks between paragraphs? That effect is due to HTML tags. It is a domain specific programming language that allows you to display structured content in a web browser. HTML stands for hypertext markup language. There are three fundamental technologies that every developer must know in order to write code that will run in a web browser: HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. ![]() Understanding these technologies is key to building a strong foundation as a web developer. We’ll be building this magic eight ball using front-end web technologies. The goal of this specific tutorial is to provide that kind of experience, with a little more focus on learning the fundamentals. True growth as a developer comes when you can combine structured learning of the fundamentals with building cool stuff. ![]() If you’re just blindly copying and pasting you won’t learn much. That being said, my tutorials usually require you to apply yourself and do more of your own research if you want to maximize the benefits to you. Most people don’t get into programming because they enjoy sorting lists or learning about data structures. I think there is a lot to be said for that. My tutorials are fun because you get a working game at the end. You can compare your code to mine if you run into troubles along the way. I’m going to show you how to build a magic eight ball with JavaScript, and the tutorial is designed for complete beginners.Īnd you can view the source code here. One of my recent tutorials, a crossword puzzle generator, is a good example of what I’m talking about. I’ve put more focus on the concepts and thought processes used in building the abstractions than on the technical details. I usually write tutorials for an audience of people who know at least a little bit of front-end programming. ![]() Welcome to my latest tutorial, where you’ll learn how to build a magic eight ball with JavaScript. The game keeps track of the player's best time per level and the different game elements are gently introduced through the levels with an increasing difficulty level. Additionally each level holds secret areas with diamonds for extra points. Turtix has a limited amount of health but this can be expanded by looking for magic symbols in treasure chests. Before popping the bubble, a halo will show if there is a safe passage (green), if there are enemies that will block the path (yellow) or when there are obstacles that will cause the students to die (red). Levels do not require players to safe all students, but still most of them. Instead, Turtix needs to push crates to block spikes, open gates, defeat enemies, collect keys to open gates and remove barriers to create a safe path for them to follow. The students will then search their way to the exit and the player can exercise no influence over their movement. Once a student inside a bubble has been located, Turtix can jump on to pop it. Enemies are taken out by jumping on top of them but some have spikes and need timing to take them out. ![]() Turtix can move around, jump, climb ladders, hang from vines and push crates. In Hardcore levels need to be replayed if these are not successfully completed. The game can be played in two modes: Casual and Hardcore. There are three distinct settings: Magic Forest, Underground Caves and Barren Desert with 60 levels in total. Turtix: Rescue Adventures is a side-scrolling game where Turtix explores game worlds to locate the trapped students and needs to bring them back. Turtix once again needs to save all of them and bring them back safely. ![]() ![]() During a class, the teacher misreads a recipe and all the students are whisked away in bubbles. DescriptionThe sequel to Turtix is based on the same concept as the original game. The watch’s face is crisp white, and the numbers and minute markers are all black, making them easy to read. The face is covered with plexiglass that has been made to offer premium resistance to scratches. It is just 10.5mm thick, meaning that it will sit comfortably on your wrist beneath shirts or other clothes. If you prefer understated luxury, then the Junghans Max Bill Automatic is a great choice! Made in Germany, this watch is 38mm in diameter and has made from stainless steel with a leather band. If you are looking for something that screams luxury, then this is the watch for you! Junghans Max Bill Automatic It is water-resistant to 100m and is covered with sapphire crystal for the best scratch resistance possible. Furthermore, these turn black when you are in that hour. There are also three gold hands to help you tell the time and 12 markers over each Arabic numeral. On the face, you will find minute markers, numbered hours, and a date box to keep you on track. It is made from 18-carat yellow gold and has an oyster bracelet that is beautiful on your wrist. If you want to get a genuine luxury watch, no other brand says it better than a Rolex! Their Sky Dweller Champagne Dial device oozes timeless luxury chic that will still be relevant in years to come. Another unique aspect of this watch is that the back case is see-through, allowing you to see the mechanisms at work whenever you put it on. It is also home to the Versace logo so that everyone can see the brand that you have invested in. The face has a date box, hour markers, and three hands for precise timekeeping. Not only does it come with the Versace label, but the design of the watch is a classic combination of stainless steel case and strap and a black face. If you want to own a timeless designer watch but you do not have tens of thousands of dollars to spend, then the Versace Dylos Automatic is a great choice for the future. However, if you are keen to be more careful with your investment, then it will also look good for formal events where the dress code is smart or even black tie. It is water-resistant up to 200m and can even be worn to surf, although it should not be taken diving. This luxury watch can even be taken on your marine trips. The face of the watch is black, and there is a grey dial that has three hands and hour markings that are all luminous and easy to read. It has a stainless steel case and has a black ceramic top ring that shows tachymeter marks. ![]() Their Formula 1 steel watch does not just offer luxury but comes with the craftsmanship required to dub it a luxury watch that offers the timeless look you want. Another well-loved luxury watchmaker is Tag Heuer. I've attached a pdf to show what this part of my website looks like. I don't *need* this effect, but it sure looks nice. Taking the div away or putting the text on a z-index that is higher than the div removes the semi-transparent overlay of the gif it contains (it gets stuck underneath the news bar, navigation bar, etc.), which is not the effect I am looking for. The problem is that it crosses over a text field that changes frequently (it's a news column) and that might contain links. The following code shows the expanded interface of this functional component. It's a nice effect to have this light "glow" crossing over several other elements on the web page, like the navigation bar and a text field, hence the absolute positioning. The basic map component can be extended with additional props for map options, event listeners, and styles applied to the div containing the map. The effect is a sort of "glow" that you might get from an airbrush I'm trying to simulate the halo from a lamp. The issue is that the div that I'd like to have links under contains a gif that has a transparent parts. I should probably learn to do things properly, but for now I'm getting my feet wet with Dreamweaver. ![]() This would allow me to either close the Popup or trigger the state change accordingly.Thanks for the help. The second approach is to change the onClose function of the Popup element (which would require me to fork react-map-gl) to pass in the event as an argument and check what element triggered the click event (eg: checking ). Give the image low z-index and the parent element underneath it higher z-index - you also have to give that parent position: relative to make it work properly. I believe this is caused by the way React handles events. The first approach I've tried was to use stopPropagation and nativeEvent.stopImmediatePropagation() on the div's click event but this didn't work. I'd like to keep the close event behaviour of the Popup (close the Popup when clicking inside it) but stop that same event if the click is on the div. On the Credentials page, click Create credentials -> API key. Click the menu button and select APIs & Services -> Credentials. More importantly, the callback is fired in the context of the current DOM element. Each time the callback runs, it is passed the current loop iteration, beginning from 0. ![]() ![]() If you use floats and container divs (which is how most people seem to work), you wont need to worry about anything being behind anything else as the page just flows into place. When called it iterates over the DOM elements that are part of the jQuery object. Clicking through a div I would look at the wider issue of whether or not you need to use absolutely positioned divs at all. Click the project drop-down and select or create the project for which you want to add an API key. each () method is designed to make DOM looping constructs concise and less error-prone. The issue I'm facing is that when clicking on that div, both the div's click event and the popup close event are triggered, which results in closing the popup and expanding the element simultaneously. To get an Google Maps API key here are the steps: Go to the Google Cloud Platform Console. It simply expands that element and adds some text. This div has an onClick event that toggles the state of the element inside the Popup. In the CSS, select the div with the class attribute, then set an equal height and width for it. To make a square with div tag, you first need to define an empty div tag and attach a class attribute to it in the HTML. I'm trying to add a div (with an svg inside), which has an onClick event, to a Popup. With the div tag, you can make various shapes and draw anything because it is easy to style. Step 4: Write the final value in appropriate square units.Step 3: Put the values of the given dimensions in the formula, LSA = (a + b + c) h or Ph.Step 2: Identify the height of the prism, h.Step 1: Identify the dimensions of the triangular base (the bases of the three rectangular faces) and find the perimeter, P = a + b + c.To calculate the lateral area of a triangular prism, follow the steps given below: How To Calculate the Lateral Area of a Triangular Prism? In order to find the lateral area, put the respective values in the formula and add the unit with the final value so obtained. Thus, we can conclude that the lateral surface area of the triangular prism = Perimeter of the base × Height of the Prism. The surface area of a triangular prism is the sum of the areas of its faces. The measurements are given to the nearest centimetre. The two triangular bases of the prism are congruent. Also, (a + b + c) is the perimeter of the base (triangle). A right triangular prism has 5 faces: 3 rectangular faces and 2 triangular bases. If there are more versions of this worksheet, the other versions will be available below the. Preview images of the first and second (if there is one) pages are shown. The lateral surface area of the right triangular prism (LSA) = ah + bh + ch (or) (a + b + c) h, where a, b and c are the bases of the rectangular faces and h is the common height or the total height of the prism.

The formula to find the lateral area of a triangular prism is, (a + b + c) h or Ph. Thus, the lateral area of a triangular prism is the sum of the side faces, that is the three rectangular faces. We know that the lateral area of any prism is the sum of the areas of its side faces. What Is the Formula To Find the Lateral Area of a Triangular Prism? The lateral area of a prism of height h where the dimensions of the triangular bases are a, b, and c is (a + b + c) h. The lateral surface area of a triangular prism is the sum of the areas of all its side faces which are 3 rectangles. What Is the Meaning of the Lateral Surface Area of a Triangular Prism? A triangular prism has 3 lateral faces that are rectangles. Which Polygon Is a Lateral Face of the Triangular Prism?Įach lateral face (side face) of a triangular prism is a rectangle. ![]() The "bases" of a triangular prism are the triangles (which are congruent and parallel) that lie on the top and bottom of the prism whereas the "lateral faces" are the side faces (all faces other than the "bases") that are rectangles. How Is a Lateral Face of a Triangular Prism Different From a Base? The base of each of these rectangles coincides with one side of the triangular base. All these rectangles have the same height. The lateral faces of a triangular prism are rectangles. ![]() The formula of the surface area of a triangular prism.
