So very good afternoon to all the teachers, students and parents who have joined. We will be starting our session in just few minutes. We are just waiting other students to join in. Very good afternoon to all the students. We will be just starting in few minutes. We are just waiting other students to join. So I'm just pasting the live link so you can send it across your group so that you can ask your friends to join in. So you can just share this link with your friends and ask them to join in. Yeah, we'll be just starting in few minutes. So as you know, it is scheduled at three. Yeah, sure, sure. So today, don't worry. Like we will be doing complete work. Okay, so the complete work will be like we will be making it in the laptop desktop first thing. Then we will be like I will be like showing you how you can make this and complete this activity in your Android phone. Okay, and also I will show you that how you can submit it using your like using your laptop into the dashboard and also how we will be submitting it into the dashboard using an Android phone. So I will be I will try to like cover all these things into a session so that if after this session you find a doubt it will be easier for you to just see this. Okay, and also we will be doing a short recap of the last session. So we'll just wait for a few more minutes. Okay. Yeah, so if you are not able to see the dashboard, so see you already know that we have a website and I'll just share the screen. So what you can do students you can just chat with us from here. Okay, so you have to just share your problem in this website. Okay, this is like ai.bcmf.in that is the mission AI website and just send us your chat here what exactly the problem you are facing. And we will connect to you. Also, the most important part is there will be a major chance that the life connection would be not there but you we will be replying you it in your email. Okay, so if you are giving your emails, please check that emails regularly. Okay, so just give two to four minutes will be starting soon. So marks of the quiz you can see it on the top. So today we will be doing each and everything. Don't worry. No, in main result, there will be some amount of marks will be added. Okay, not exactly the complete so there will be a small weightage of it. But the most important part is you complete all the assignments. Okay, nothing should be left like it when towards the end of the camp, it should be 100% completed. That's something more important. Okay, students who are not able to sign in will just see the problem and we'll help you. So we'll just start in three more minutes students. Okay, and right now I will request the student not to like send the chart right now on the website. Okay, so which is the last day to submit the answer for this is students you have to submit your assignments daily. But if you buy in case you are finding any trouble, so you have to submit it everything before 28. Okay, but don't I should say don't pile up the things don't put on lagging it. Okay, try to complete daily exercises. So please tell you I will give you a little brief about yesterday's session and also let me just stop the share. Let me just stop the chart and let me paste the link for yesterday's session. So although like we are sharing you all things in your email ID. Okay, you can also ask us the things in like chat in the website chat. Okay, you can ask the things in this chart as well. I'll just delete this chart and I'll just repost. So this is the link for the yesterday's session. Although we have like sent it to you on your emails. Okay, so now it's 3pm and it's the correct time to start. So today we are going to start with a little recap because I know some of the students found a little difficulty. Because the I know the pace was little high. Okay, but not a problem will give you a short recap. So we got a little feedback from the teachers and a student. So today we will try to keep the pace of the session slow so that very from all the students joining from very early classes also will be able to understand each and everything. So can you please just respond me on the chart that is my voice audible to you all. So can you please just give me a yes on the chat that my voice is audible. Okay. Yeah, today I won't take you too fast. Okay, I'll take you very slowly so that each and every part is completed. Okay. And is my language is good rate like you are not finding any problem with the language. Language is good. Okay. Okay, wonderful. Okay, so let's start. I'll just stop this presentation. I'll just take you first to the give you a short recap what exactly we did in like five to seven minutes. Okay, and explain you some of the concepts. So I'll just stop this presentation. Okay, great. Okay, so I'll just share my screen and take you back to the pictor blocks screen to explain you the things. Okay, so now you can see a screen of like software although like see the concepts are very same rate. There is no difference in concepts. The only difference is the view. The view in the software is little bigger and in the Android says a smaller but the concept of blocks and everything is going to be very same. So what I want you to hear to focus is like what are the things we have just saw yesterday. I'll just give you a little brief. So yesterday we made a story. Okay. So what was the story? So the story was of two characters. Okay, so what I'm going to do is I'll just go and bring the two characters directly. Okay, I'll just find one lion. Now I just selected a lion here. Also, I had one more character that was a fox. Okay, I'll just bring a fox. So we discussed yesterday that like we have already discussed this in detail, but I'll just explain you that the first criteria is to set up the initial positions. And also we also discussed that that every character or every sprite in the pictor blocks have their own. So what I can do is I can fix the position of lion here. Okay, I want my lion to be here and my fox to be somewhat here. Also, we will be requirement of putting a backdrop. So I can just go to backdrop option and let me bring some good backdrop from the backdrop option. So let's take this jungle today. Okay. So as I said, there are two sprites lion and fox. So we have to work with them separately. So I'll just give you a brief. Okay, I'll just give you a short brief. So now the concept first was we used when green flag is clicked so that like both of the sprites can work together. Okay, because if I will be in Fox, I also I will put a when green flag is clicked. And when I'm going to press the green flag, everything under the lion, everything under the fox will start working together. Okay, so I just came into the lion. So you can see lion is selected.  Okay, this will fix the fourth position. Okay. Similarly, I will also fix the position. But before fixing a position for the fox, you can see foxes somewhat seeing in other direction. So how did I manage to make it see lion? Okay, the sea students first thing is point direction. So right now the sprite is pointing on the 90 degrees. So you can see I'll just to show you so you can see arrow is in this side. The face is in this side. If I bring this arrow on just opposite what is going to happen and I'm just click I'll just click this. So now you can see the faces are on the same side, but all this right just got took a rotation of all around. Okay, so I can change the rotation. You already know there is a block set rotation left to right. So what it is going to do is it will change its rotation. Okay, so now these two blocks I'm ready with also I will just keep it behind. Okay, and I will fix this fix its initial position. So this was the part. So this was the part where fixed we fix the initial position. And after that we learned about an costume. So what are the costumes I've already explained. So there wasn't question students in the quiz. So many students have done that. Like the question was with how many costumes we can make an animation. So I think the options were one, two, three, four. Okay, something like this one, two, three, four or one, one, three, four, five something like this it was. So students I wanted to tell you this, like with a single costume, you can't make an animation, right? Because if that is only one costume and it will move like it. So this is not an animation. Animation is something where it should move its leg and like we should be able to see some motion, right? So this is why the answer was all the three points on that question except the option which was having a one. Because with one costume you can make an animation. So after that students we just learned the concept that we can change the costume using the switch costume methods. We also learned that we can switch the backdrop using the switch backdrop. And there was a very important concept where we learned about like sending a message internally. So that was broadcasting the message. This was something which means like I am sending a message internally to the other sprite. So like you I'll just remove this like all these. And if after this I want like let's bring some hello. Okay, and after hello I'm just casting a small message. So what is what am I doing is I'll just write the name hello. And now I'm sending this hello message internally to the Fox. Okay, and other sprites also but we are working with only two sprites. So now what you wanted to do is you have to hear that sound, right? And how you can hear that is you will go to event and you will see when I receive hello. And what you want is when you see hello, you want Fox to also reply with hello line. Okay, although like this is not a complete story because this is just a short recap of the concepts which we have learned yesterday. Okay, so this is like just making you understand the different concepts. Okay, so now if I'm going to press green flag. So now you can see it said hello and hello line. So what happened is like it just I should say went so fast that we were not able to see the changes. So what we can do here is we will just use the weight, right? So we have also discussed this to some students in like some operating system like in iPhone somewhere finding some problem of using point and everything. So don't worry, you can put it. Okay, not an issue. Instead of weight, if you want to say something. So you can also use looks and here is like say hello for two seconds. Okay, so this will work in the same purpose. So now you can see after that it said hello line. Okay, now again, you can also see I have used hello line here instead of it. I can just put it for two seconds. So this will now I'll just press the green flag. So now it will say hello. And after that, so Fox said hello line. So I have not animated the things because I think that part is very, very clear to all of you like bringing and moving the steps with move 10 steps rate and changing the costumes under the repeat we were doing to check. So we were the blocks which we used yesterday was repeat and we tested that for how much time the lion is coming to somewhere place here. And after that we set up the final call for the repeat. So like if I take five, and I will ask it to move 10 steps. And also I wanted to see the change in the costume. So what I'm going to do is I just bring the change in costume from B to C. So I have a B and I have kept it C. Also, you know that whenever we are switching a costume, we need a weight and why do we need a weight so that we can see it properly. We also use move 10 or move five anything you want in between so that everything looks synchronized. It should just synchronize. I mean, it should look in a good view. So if I'll now press it, you will be able to see right here. So it just said hello because I just kept it hello on the top. Okay, so if in case I you wanted so you can remove this hello and put it somewhere here. Okay, so this will give you the exact something which we made yesterday. So now you can see the lion is walking towards the fox. Okay. And after reaching a certain point, it is going to say hello. So I have not given any given any instructions to Fox here of movement rate. So I have just made it an initial steps and just an arm hearing and I should say the previous message which has been sent from land. So this was something which we worked yesterday. So I'll just not take more time on it. I think we should move to the today's session as well. So I'll just open up a new file. Okay, I'll just stop a share. So now I think everyone will be very clear on it. So there is no WhatsApp group link here. Okay. And if you want to like know like about anything you can send me a chart on the website, right? And I will be answering to you as soon as possible. So I'll help you with submission and everything you don't have to worry. Okay, so I'll just ask a question now that is this part very clear to everyone. So let me just ask it from all of you. So please give your polls students. I think maximum of you might be now very easy with it, right? Because like we have discussed it two times, you also have a recording. You can also look around in the recording, not an issue. Great. I can see a very good number around 90. Okay, still, still if even a one student is not able to understand, please look into the video. Okay. And if in case you are finding a trouble, please reach out to us using a chat option on website. We'll try to like give you more clarity on it. There is no problem like because we want each and every student in this camp should be able to learn and understand each and every part which has been taught in all sessions. Okay. I'm facing some problem open after the registering on the phone. So not a problem. I'll help you with that. Okay. So I'll take care of those things. Don't worry, student. Let's first I didn't get the replay video. So replay video is first I'll just show you where exactly you can see in the dashboard. You also get it on the email. So you don't have to worry. So now let's cover today's part. Okay. I'll just start with today's session that is beetle in the maze. Okay. So students basically we are going to like we are going to make a game. Okay. So although this game might look very easy to you on the first go. But this game is going to clear so many concepts that you will be able to make your own wonderful games and you will be able to understand what are the things in the game which is required to be understood very understood previously making and starting a game building. Okay. So again, you know, there are three things. Okay. You always work on that basic basis like that is planning, writing and testing. Right. So we will do that in a similar fashion so that like no one finds a problem and everything is very clear to us. Okay. So also I'm trying to keep my pace slow for the session. If in case you want me to get little more slow, do let me know in the chat. Okay. I'll try to like keep it more slow. Okay. I'll tell you students don't worry about uploading and everything. We are going to take care of this each and every step today. Okay. Okay. So now let's understand. So I want now no more questions about anything. Okay. First watch the complete session what we are taking and trust me by today's session you're each and every doubt which you are sending in on the chat will be cleared. Okay. Trust me. So I'm going to take care of each and every part. Okay. So let's go and understand how we can make the games that one of the game is beetle in the maze. So we are going to first understand that how we can control the character in the game. What is game development? How we can do a scoring in the game. Okay. Now the game what we are going to make today is beetle in the maze. So you can see a small beetle. Okay. So I would request the students all the students not to like a chart in between. Okay. Great. Great. Okay. So now a focus I want everyone's focus on the session. Okay. And I want don't want to see any chat till I'm asking you to put anything there. Okay. So hope you will like follow my steps. I want no one to send any chat till I'm not asking any question. Okay. So I don't want to like disable the chat but I want this from your side that you should not send any chat. Okay. So let's start and understand it very, very easily. So you can see the name of the game is beetle in the maze. Okay. So what exactly the beetle in the maze is. So in the like childhood you are already in the childhood but you might have played this type of game in comics using pencil and pen. Okay. So we'd like there was a maze, a small maze generally and we take the pen and come try to come out of the maze. Right. But now we are going to make this game into the pictoblogs. Okay. And how we can do that is it is going to be very, very easy. The most important thing is you have to concentrate. So now students, you can see a beetle. You can see an maze also. So what exactly maze is. So maze, it means like in Hindi I should say I think we call it so basically it's like a pathfinder game. Okay. You can think of pathfinder. So basically you have to find a path to get to this apple. Okay. So now students just think that how we can make it. Okay. So why I'm giving you time is because I want you to plan this. Okay. I can totally plan. There is no problem. Okay. But I want you to plan this. Okay. So just think that I want a game here where I want my beetle to go to the apple.  That and the first part we are doing is planning. Right. So what should be things we should take care while making this game. Okay. So now the things is what are the things we have to take care. So I'll just take you. So okay. The first step do you all agree with this? We will be in need of bringing the beetle in the game. Okay. Of course then we have written maze. Of course we will be bringing the maze. So all do you agree with this that we will be in need of bringing the beetle in the game. Okay. I can see. Yes. Agree. Okay. Wonderful. Can I see more responses? Yes. Wonderful. So because the students it's not like just coding it. We want you to think about it. Okay. So that you will be able to make more games. It's not only just exactly I can see some of the answers backdrop me. So now we will be seeing that how we are going to do it in laptop and like in the everything and I'll just stop the presentation. Although you can refer to this presentation in your dashboard. I'll show you. So yeah. So we all agree here that we will be in requirement of some of the sprites. Okay. And we will also in requirement of some of the backdrops. So let me just share my screen back. Okay. So don't worry. I'm starting with. Laptop and. Sorry. Mobile or what we can do today is I will take you to the mobile version first. Okay. So just give me a moment. Okay. So we'll start with mobile version. So this will give us more clarity because yesterday we took the. Okay. Yesterday we took the laptop first. So let's take today the Android first. Okay. So now students, what we are going to do here is you can see on my Android screen. I hope everyone is able to see my Android screen. Can you please respond me on the chat? Are you able to see? Okay. I can see. Yes. So I'll just give a full screen here. Okay. And I'll also remove this so that like which is much more clear. So the first step I'll go to my space. Okay. After going to my space, you can see two options. Okay. So after reaching my space, there is a plus play button as well as there is a plus button. So what are these two buttons? I have already explained you that play button will take you to the scripting area of where you program in the previous program, like whatever you were programming. Okay. But plus will start a new program. So today we want to work with a new program. So definitely we should choose the new program button that is plus. So now it will be start coming on. It will take just a few seconds. Okay. So now I think everything is very visible to all of you. So now student, you can see the Toby here. Although we will not be in requirement for Toby. Okay. So let's start like making it and planning it. So as I said, the first thing we what in the planning we know is we will need a beetle. The second is we will need a maze. Okay. The third thing in the planning is we want our beetle to move into the maze. Okay. That my beetle should move right. My beetle should move left. My beetle should move up and down. Right. So this is coming all under the planning. Okay. We are planning this. What exactly we need to make the game. Also you have to think right that there should be a point system. Okay. Because if we are playing a game, there should be a point system. And every time beetle is touching the walls of the maze, the beetle should come back to its main place. Okay. So I'll just explain you this part also. So let's start like first deleting the Toby. So how we can delete the Toby is we have to just click on the Toby and it will come up with the three options. And you have to choose the third option which will help you to delete the sprite. Okay. So now you have to click on the center. That is the adding any sprite option which is a teddy bear with a small plus and let's select a beetle. So I'll directly because I know you guys are now well worse that how you can like find the sprites. Okay. Just give me a moment. So I'll directly find it because actually it becomes little difficult for me for typing into the like this phone. So I'll try to find beetle directly by scrolling it. So now I can see the beetle. Okay. On my screen you can see the beetle has came just behind the yeah. So I just select a beetle here. This will bring up a beetle. Okay. So I hope this was the first planning with what we did. Now let's bring up a backdrop that is a maze. Okay. I'll go to the backdrop option that is the first option and I will again click it and go into the backdrop settings. Okay. So now in this I will get an option the first option that add a backdrop and we already have a direct maze backdrop. So you can directly select that. Right. So now students you can see that my beetle is ready. My the backdrop is ready. I'll just go back to the scripting area. Okay. So now students what you have to see is that you can just drag the beetle here and there. Right. But we want it to be moved with the arrow keys. So how the arrow keys are going to come. Let me just try to show you. Actually something has just appeared on my screen. Okay. So let me just show you just beside a green flag. There is an option of full screen. So you have to click that option. Okay. So when you are going to click on that option, you will be able to see the game pad. So this is we are trying to do in the like Android phones and like the smartphones. Okay. So basically we will be using these arrow keys that is up down right left to make the movement of between. Okay. So I'll just go back to the scripting area. So for that again, I have to press that button. Actually that has been little hide. Okay. Let me just give me a minute. I'll just try to open it again. Okay. So I'll just bring those things again back. Okay. So you know students that you have to keep saving it. So please click on save. Okay. And just you can please write the name as per the lecture. Okay. Or I should say as per the lesson because this will help you to submit and find the correct fight. So like let's me write game and maze game. Okay. A game may have written. Now I'll just by mistake. I just removed it. I'll again write that name maze game and keep saving it because otherwise you might lost the data. Okay. So now this was the part. Okay. Which was very important. Okay. And you have to like work out with the detail and the maze. And now we will be seeing those part. Okay. So this was the first part of planning. And as I said you that you will be working with these arrow keys. You can see when you are going to on the full screen mode. And I'll just bring that back again. Okay. So now I will explain the codes into the laptop. How we are going to do it because like making the script here it becomes little bit difficult because sometimes what happens this screen might be not so big for you. Okay. And I won't be able to like make it much more zoom. Okay. So for the viewing purpose it's better. I'll explain you the script part in the laptop. So this was the initial stage which like this is only the difference in the I should say the laptop and the android. Otherwise you have to use these only books. Right. These are very same in the phone as well as this is very same into the laptop. So I'll just stop my share here and I will move. So I'll now share my screen. And now I'll explain you in laptop each and everything. And also I will explain you the submission process through the phone also. So you don't have to worry. Okay. Just stay with me. Stay calm and understand each and everything what I'm trying to tell you. Okay. So right now it won't move dear because we haven't written any script. So now I'm going to explain you what we are what we have to do for the coding. Okay. So I think my screen would be visible. So let me like you can choose a sprite beetle here. Okay. And I'll just remove this and I'll choose a backdrop from a backdrop option that is means. Okay. So this part was only the different in the top and in android rest whatever I'm going to do is very same. So students who are going to do it on the phone also they are going to make it similarly how exactly I'm going to do it. So now students the first thing comes up here is if I just put a beetle somewhere in middle. So don't you think this beetle size is very big. Okay. So every time it won't be able to go from here to there right because this is very big. So how we can manage the size of the beetle. Okay. So what I'm going to do is there is an option to set the size. Okay. So what I'm going to do is so let me just so I will set its size instead of 100. I'll just take 60. Okay. And I just click it here. So now you can see it is somewhat looking good. Okay. So I have bring it on the 60. So now there is a question. Okay. So because we have discussed this already. So I want you all to answer this. If I want my beetle should face in this direction in the front direction. Okay. So right now you can see it's facing on right direction. But if in case I want my beetle to face on the front direction what should I use which block I should use. I repeat the question. If now you can see my beetle is looking on the left hand right hand side. If I want my beetle to look on to the straight. What should I do? So I just stop my share and I want your answers on the screen. Okay. Point in direction. Okay. So turn 90 degree. Wonderful. Point in direction. Point in direction. Wonderful. Okay. Okay. So direction. Yeah. Good. Yeah. Wonderful. So see whether you are putting correct degree that doesn't matter because that is something you will be doing when you are doing it practically. Okay. So I hope my screen is visible to all of you. Is my screen visible again back to all of you? Can you please respond me on chat? Can you please respond me on chat? Is my screen visible? Okay. Students I got. Okay. Yes. I can see. Okay. I'll just what I'll do is I'll just share it back. Okay. Yes. Yes. What's the call? So I don't know like why is it little working weird? Just give me a moment. Okay. So I'm back here. Am I already? Yeah. Yeah. So no actually sometimes in the live sessions you know like due to some connections and some technical glitch it happens. So now I'm audible to all of you. Can you see me now? Yes. Okay. Okay. Now I'm visible. Wonderful. Yeah. So now I'm going to just share my screen back. Okay. And we'll directly go to the pictoblocks here. So it's going to just give me a two minute. I think there is some technical problem. I just take two minutes. So now I think I will be on visible rate. I'm audible to all of you. So I'll tell you how you are going to change the size of the beetle. Okay. Wonderful. Yes. Yes. Okay. So I'll just directly share my screen and take you to the. So can you please respond me on the chart? That is my this screen is visible to all of you. My pictoblocks screen is visible to all of you. Can you please respond me on the chart? No. Okay. So I'll just stop the share. Okay. So okay. Okay. Students, I'm sorry for like, I think there's some problem. So just give me two more minutes. I'll just rectify it. Okay. So I think now I'll be visible to you all. Right. And I'll try to like share my screen. Okay. So now everything good look good. So you will be able to see my screen in a few moments. Okay. Wonderful. So I think you are you can see my screen. Right. So as we were discussing, okay, that the first thing what we require is to set the size of the beetle. Okay. So I want everyone to focus here. Okay. So now please just see that first thing what we want to do is we have to set the size. So my question was what do we want to do to make this beetle look in front direction? So can you please put the answers again? Okay. Can you please put the answers back again here? Okay. Point direction. Wonderful. So this is what I was expecting from you all. So let me bring this point direction here. Okay. And let me just put it somewhat like this. Okay. If I'm going to click it here. So this is what we wanted. Right. That my beetle should be pointing on this direction. So first thing what we are doing is we are setting up the first thing. So we have pointed it to the zero. Now every time my game start what I want is instead of somewhere here or somewhere I want my beetle should be always at the first position initial position this. Okay. Okay. And I'll just also reduce the size here for a little bit. Okay. So now you can see to always start with this position. What do we need? So you know we have an option go to. So what we are going to do is every time it start it should be at this place only. So let me take somewhere this here. It would look good. Okay. So every time it is that I want these things to happen that my beetle side should go somewhere around this. My beetle should be looking forward and also as I said my beetle should always be at this side. Now the students the parts come off movement. So how we can handle it. So just see this and I want everyone to keep their focus here and this is very, very important and it's going to be very interesting. So I have brought one block that is when green flag is clicked. Okay. So now students what we are going to do. So there is a block which says forever. What is the use of this block? So this block helps you to check the things again and again again and again. Okay. Make the blocks work again and again. So like we have already discussed if in case I will put move 10 steps here and click the forever. So now you can see my beetle is moving in the front direction but we are not going to do this way. Okay. So what now I can do. So now you can see here like my beetle reached somewhat place here right but when I'm going to press green flag every time it is going to come this this year. So like if in case my beetle is somewhere here and if I'm going to press green flag so this will come directly to the initial position due to this three blocks. So now I'll put a forever and we are going to have this block. So what exactly is this? If and in center you can see a hollow space and that is then. So what we do? What do we do in this hollow space? So in this hollow space students we are going to write a condition. Now the question comes what exactly is the condition? So students any question which is giving you an answer in true or false it we can call it as in condition. So in operators you can see there are some operators which you daily use in your math classes mathematics classes. So now what you can do here is like this is type of a condition. Okay, so just tell me what should be the answer to this green block one greater than 50. Is it true or is it false? Can you please put me put your answers on that? So is this green like one is greater than 50 is true or it's false? Yeah, of course Ishan very perfectly written Sir Boolean. Okay, false false. Okay, wonderful false. Okay, so students you don't have to be confused with this right? One is always one is greater than 50 is going to give you false. So anything which is going to give you true or false like if I add two zeros here, so now it should give us true, right? It is going to give us true. So now, so this is something we call isn't condition. So now if I'm going, I'm just keeping this back. But if in case I want to check the sensing. So what sensing is here is students you can check whether any key is pressed, whether any color is touched. Okay, so let's see this in depth. So now again, you can see this is something in hexagonal block, and this is going to also give me true or false. So it's written that is space key pressed. So I'll just change space to a pair. Okay, so now it is it will say false because right now I'm not putting up false. I'm not like pressing it, but now if I'll just press up arrow. So right now I'm pressing up arrow in my keyboard and I'm going to click it. So it is going to give me true. So now students, you have to see that I'm going to put it here. Okay, now if this condition is true, it is the blocks which will be inside this part. Okay, which white part are going to be worked on. If in case it is false, it is not going to work. So like if in case I have used move 10 step, I'm just keeping for an idea. If I'm going to give move 10 step, so if this condition is true, then only move 10 step will work. Otherwise, if this condition is false, the block inside it is not going to work. Okay, so now what I'll do is instead of move 10 steps, I'll just put this inside up forever and let me show you how exactly it works. So again, what do we want here? So we want to move 10 steps, of course, but along with that, I will be also in use requiring a point direction. I'll show you why. So why do we need it? Okay, I'll show you this part. So now if in case I'll just remove this and I press this forever. Okay, now every time I'm going to press this, you can see my beetle is moving up, right? So in the similar fashion students, we have to make four blocks. Okay, so what will be those four blocks? So I'll just put it here. Okay. So now it was up. So I'll let me just put up there itself. Okay. Give me a little bust here. Okay. So now if in case I have checked up arrow, similarly I'm going to check down arrow. But in down arrow, what I want is I want it to see at the back side. That's why I'm putting it 180. And now if I'm going to put it on, if I'm going to press it, okay, so how we can check it is like, I'll just put this to both of them in the forever and now I'll just press it here. So now you can see it is going to the front and if I'm pressing it back button, it is taking a back. So you can see it is also turning. So this turning is happening due to this point in direction. Okay. Okay. You want me to go slow. Okay. Okay. Not a problem. I'll just go slow. So let me just repeat this part. Okay. Not an issue. Okay. So see. So let me just first clear this doubt of point direction. So I think this might be giving you a little confusion. So see if I want my beetle to go in forward direction. So what I want is it should see the front. Right. But if I want my beetle to come back. So what I want is I want my beetle to see in the back, right? So I want my beetle to see in the back. So this is why what we are doing is we are using this point direction. Like every time I'm going to press up arrow key, it will see in the first in the front side, right? Now let me put it inside here and now you can see what am I doing is I'm trying to check whether I'm pressing up arrow, whether I'm pressing down arrow. Similarly, I'll duplicate this. I'm going to check right and left. So I click here, right arrow and just tell me. So tell here, can you please tell me that if in case I want my beetle to move in right direction, what should I put in this point direction? So this is your question. Please answer me this question. So if in case I want my beetle should move into the right direction, right when the right arrow is pressed. Okay. Okay. I can see somewhere. Okay. 90, 90. Wonderful. Right arrow. Perfect. 90. Okay. Perfect. Perfect. So it's perfect. So yeah, of course, you have to put it at 90 because I'm going wanted to go to the right direction. Now I want. So this will be your homework. Actually, I don't want to reveal it. So right now, let me just put the minus 90. Okay. So now I'll just add all these students. Okay. So I'm going to add this to not just below each other. Okay. I'm sorry. So I'll just add one each other. I'll just start this all. One at the each other. Okay. After starting them, I'll just put it inside the forever. Let me just shorten this so that it will be like visible to you all much more clearly. So I think this is visible. So this is something what we are doing here is I am first checking whether up arrow keys pressed or the down arrow keys pressed or the right arrow keys pressed or the left arrow keys pressed. So let me just start it. So if I'm I can roam here and there now. Now I can use all the arrow keys and I can roam here and there and there. So I think this part is very clear to all of you. Right. Okay. So now you can see I was moving very easily. Now student the second part is okay. So this was the first part. Now also I want to check right because I'm making a game. So I should be able to like check the things. So what are the things what I want to check is first that the beetle is not touching the black line. So how can I do that? So I'll go in control again. I'm going to bring if one if but before it I will take a forever because I want to check it again and again. Okay. So if. So here you can see students it is saying touching color. Okay. It is in respect to the beetle. So it is saying beetle is touching this color. I will just click on color. Okay. I'll just click on fill button and I'll just take this color directly. Okay. And after selecting this color I'll put it here. So this is somewhat is I am checking whether my beetle is touching a black color or not if it is touching. So what do I want? I wanted to come back to the initial position. Right. So I what? So I have kept these three blocks right for initial position. So I'll just duplicate this and put it inside. So now you will be able to see this part is if my beetle is going to touch any of the black lines it will come to its initial position. Okay. So let's keep it in forever and press a black press a green flag and let's try to do it. So now you can see I'm just moving.  Okay. So I think this might be very easy. So students I would request not to paste your links and everything here I will be if red color is touched then of course very perfectly written by Berlin Corp. So now what we are going to do is we are going to test the same thing with the red color that if the red color is pressed basic motive is I want my beetle to go till here right. So what I'm going to do is I'm going to test it with the red color. So again I will just put it take this and come here with the red color and after what do I want here I want is it should get stopped. So in control you are going to see there is an block which says stop all. So this is going to stop everything. Okay. So this is going to stop everything. That's why I'm putting it here. Now also along with this you can also work with the move. Okay. So what are the moves? So what you can do here is now my game is all to ready. Okay. It's already ready and I can play it. No problem. But there is no point system. So but how I can bring a point system. Okay. How I can bring a point system. So just I'll take two to three minutes. Okay. So to explain you this. So now you can see I just reached and everything stopped. Once I touch this red color I have to press the green flag again. So now if I want to work with the points. So I'll go to variable. What is variable? So variable is a set like you understand it a box. Okay. And where exactly you are going to store some number or some alphabet or some word. So I'll just click on make variable. I'll just put it moves. You can put it anything you want. Let's keep it a number and okay. And what I want here is set moves to zero. What is what this block is going to do is every time my game is starting. Okay. It will keep it to zero. Okay. Every time it is starting. It will start with zero and every time this is a block which says change move by one. So this is going to increase the move by one. Okay. Like it is one. So it will become two. If it is two. So it will become three. If it is three. So it will become four. So now what you have to do is you will just put it somewhere here in this part where it is touching the black line. Okay. Because every time it will touch a black line we should call it as a move. So what I can do is now I'll just click on the red and now you can see. Can you please answer me? What is the move right now? You can can you please tell me the value of move right now. So this will be same into the mobile students. It will be very same into the mobile. So can you please tell me what is the value of the zero? Sorry. What is the value of the move? Okay. I'm sorry. I just by mistakenly just told you the answer. So now if I'm going to touch a black line so now you can see it became one. Right. I want all of your focus here. So now you become two. So the objective of this game is now that I have to complete this game in the least to move. Okay. So least amount of move I have to take. Okay. I just got failed again. Okay. It's a little good game. You will be loving it while playing. So you can take out a little bit of time playing it. Okay. And also practicing it. Now the things come up regarding how we are going to submit this. Okay. So first thing is you have to save this. So how you can save it is I'll just put this means game and I'm sorry. I just wrote a wrong spelling. I'll just put a maze game and also I will put mission AI too. Okay. So I'll save it with me because I need to share.  How you can submit it with mobile. So I'll just save it. Okay. So now the project is saved and I'll stop my share for a moment and let me just come back to your screen. Okay. So I'll just give me a moment now. So I'll just open that project. That was somewhere in Victor blocks. I'll just go to Victor blocks once. Just give me two minutes. I'm just searching that project. Okay. So now I'll just open it. So I wanted you to show you from very beginning. I'm just sharing it again. I'm sorry. Yeah. So now this was the game. Okay. So here what you have to do here is student you have to click on files. Okay. So the first option in your computer will be file. And here you have to click on generate a file sharing link. So I'll just take it here. It will take a little bit of time. Okay. And you can now copy this link. Yeah. I'll just take for two to three minutes more students. So you have to copy this link. Okay. Once it is set copied. So now you have to go to your dashboard. Okay. So just see this very, very clearly. Okay. I will be showing I will try to show you all this with mobile also. So we will go to the login page. There I'll give my password and ID. Like I will give my ID and password. Okay. And I'll just log in here. Okay. Now I'll go to my boot camp. So here there was a problem for some student that they are not able to see anything under this boot camp. So students, you have to go to here. Okay. Explore more. Okay. So just click on this explore more. Once you'll be clicking here on explore more, you will be coming to this page that is AI boot camp batch two. Okay. You have to put this somewhere into the basics of make a game. So you will start click it here. And here you are where you are able to see this slide. Just above it, you will be able to see the you just above this. You will be able to see this. I should say the video. Okay. So like just in make a story, let me just show you in the make a story because the replay video for this will be uploaded after this. Right. So let me just show you off. Make a story. I've clicked on make a story. So see student. Here you can see the session video. Okay. Then you can see the session lecture. Okay. You can see the session lecture. Okay. And just below it, you have to make a like make a story quiz. Okay. So you can put it somewhere here. Okay. So once you will be selecting it. So today's project has to be submitted into make a game. So I'll go back to make a game. So this was just for showing you. Okay. And I'll just go to make a game quiz. And here you have to basically start the quiz. So this quiz will be starting up somewhere here. Okay. And you will be working with this and you have to paste that link from there to here. Complete this quiz and then you have to click on finish quiz. Okay. So this was the part I wanted to cover with the like laptop. Let me directly take you to the phone and show you how you can do this. It will take hardly two more minutes students. So now because I want everyone should be able to do this. There should be no problem. Okay. So I will directly show you how we are going to do it here. Okay. So the pictoblacks has opened in my screen. So I won't take time to like making the script and everything. I'll just I already have that maze game with me. So what I'm going to do is I am going to show you how you can make the link out of it. So I have to press this game a little deep and you will be able to see a small tick over here. Once you will be able to see a small tick, you can see on the top the first option is for the link. You have to click that it will create a global link. Okay. You have to copy to copy this to the clipboard. Now it has been copied. Now what you have to do is the students you have to go to the website. So I'll just try to go to the website. So I'll just so I'll just log into the page and show you. Okay. So now you can see this is a page. Okay. Now you have to click and I'll just use this. I use them. I'll just log in here. After logging in here, you will be able to like get to see this. Okay. So now what you have to do again is you have to just scroll down. Okay. And your upcoming boot camps you will be able to see this explore more. Click on this explore more. Okay. This will again open something like which we have just seen. And you have to put this. Okay. So now the students were saying where exactly is the video in it. So you can see if I'll just show you by going into a make a story. I'll go to their make a story. And here you can see the video is here. Okay. The session slide is here and just below it is a quiz. Okay. So you have to just do every day same procedure. You have to copy that link. Come to this like a maker today we'll make a game. So you have to come to make a game and you have to like after you will start a quiz and you have to paste the link into the description in the fourth. So it will be depending upon your front. Like it can be coming on first second third after pasting this and solving all this questions you have to click on finish quiz. Once it's done your part is completed. Okay. So I'll just stop my share here. Okay. So I hope there were so many things to cover. So it took a little bit of long. Okay. But I think now the things are very clear. So today's assignment is to make the game and submit the project. Okay. Although like if you will try if you will find any trouble please feel free to contact us on the chat. Okay. So we already know. So I hope everything is clear till now we are just going to conclude the session. Just give me I like to answer. I like to ask some questions. So is everything clear to you guys?

What do Selena Gomez, Wikipedia, Winnie the Pooh, and time travel have in common? They're all banned in China. You know what's not banned in China? You, going there, as an international student! Hello my people, my name is Valeria. Welcome to the SCORE channel, and this is how to study in China. China? China, China, China. I have to have my China. The People's Republic of China is the world's largest country by population, so it shouldn't come as much of a surprise that they have 500,000 international students within their borders. Those students are going to get a bachelor's degree in just four years. Like other countries in the Northern Hemisphere, China's classes start in September. But unlike other countries in the Northern Hemisphere, their deadlines are a lot more flexible. Most universities put their deadlines for international applicants in July. Some will even let you apply in August to study in the same year. However, more competitive programs do put their deadlines back in April. And if you want to study for free, you're going to have to file by the end of March. Most students go to China to study engineering, but there's also a lot of international business programs, and it's also a very popular destination if you want to get a medicine degree at a great price. With over 500 universities that accept international students, how are you supposed to figure out where to go? China doesn't have a central portal for applications like other countries do. Seems like your only option is to check each university's website one at a time. Fortunately, there's a faster way. Several private companies have emerged as the official representative of many universities for foreign students. Universities pay these companies to bring them international students, which means that you don't have to pay these companies very much or even anything at all in some cases. Two of the best options that we found were Chinaadmissions.com and also China's University and College Admission System, or CUCAS. CUCAS charges just $50 for you to file an application through their site, while Chinaadmissions.com doesn't charge you anything. Now, every university has an application fee that ranges between $70 and $150. You do have to pay this for each university, and you can pay it through the same company that you're using to file your application. On the bright side, however, acceptance rates are pretty high, so you shouldn't have to apply to more than 4 or 5 universities to guarantee a spot. Like we talked about in the France video a few weeks ago, China will only admit students who are 18 years old or more. They also curiously have an upper age limit for international students of 30, which means I can't get a bachelor's in China anymore. Sad. I'm getting old. Now, the government doesn't place any standards or rules for what you need to have to get in. Seems like as long as you've graduated high school from somewhere, you can get in. Most universities ask for a high GPA or an A-B average in different courses. There are some more selective universities that will ask for SAT scores or an international baccalaureate. But in general, there's definitely a university for you, regardless of where you come from or your academic background. Now, one of the other pre-rex that we don't usually talk about is your character. China places a lot of emphasis on good character. They're going to want to see that you are a good citizen who will respect the rules and follow the law. This is important to show in your personal statement or in the letters of recommendation that you get, and you're going to need at least two of those. So, you should start buttering up your teachers with presents and gifts and whatnot. Real side note, if you aren't nice to your teachers, they're probably not going to like you. They're not going to want to write you a letter of recommendation. So, be nice to your teachers. You're going to need to take your transcripts and your high school diploma and translate them into either Chinese or English. You don't actually have to translate everything to Mandarin Chinese, which brings us to the language barrier. Chinese is one of the hardest languages to learn on earth.  Look at this! How are you even... I can't! Fortunately, you don't need to know Chinese to study in China. Those websites we mentioned before have a huge list of programs that are available to be learned in English, and that is not an accident. What are the plans to take over America again? I forgot! China's plan for world domination means having professionals all over the world that can speak English. So, they need to learn in English before they can leave the country, and that means there's space in their programs for you to study in English also. Now, you will have to show that you can speak English to get admitted to a program. The IELTS is the most widely accepted test for Chinese students, and it typically asks for a level of 6 or 6.5 for you to get into an undergraduate program. Of course, if you like pain, and who doesn't. You could try to study in Chinese. You'll need to take the Chinese Proficiency Test or the Hanyu Shui Ping Gelshi. You'll need to get past the level 4 test of the HSK to get admitted to study in China. Let's be real, it takes a long time to even get a basic level of proficiency in Chinese. So, if you haven't started learning yet, you really should get going, because you're going to need it just to get around and do basic things in China. Given how difficult Chinese can be to learn, I'm going to rate the language barrier of studying in China as 4, concentration... I'm sorry, General So, let me try that again. I'd rate the language barrier of studying in China as 4, delicious Chinese dumplings out of 5. Okay, General So, man, he's tough. He's going to end up locking me in a cage like Tyler. I was expecting Chinese universities to be pretty affordable, but I had no idea they would be this cheap. How cheap? How about $3,000 a year cheap? That's less than my first cheap car. Even a more expensive program costs $7,000 a year. And okay, maybe you got some deep pockets. You want to spend some serious cheddar? Well, guess what? A super expensive education in China is $35,000 a year. That's still way less than what you would pay at a lot of American universities. And living expenses are about as affordable as a cheap pair of chopsticks. If your university has dorms, you're looking at spending about $3,000 a year just to have your place to stay and another $200 a month for food and transportation. And that's it. In most countries, you've got to spend $10,000 to $15,000 just to survive. In China, it's at least half that. But hey, maybe you're on a shoestring budget. Maybe you can't even afford shoestrings. Well, lucky for you, there's the Chinese government scholarships. They cover up to $4,000 a year in tuition. And they give you another $1,500 to help with living expenses. But hey, there's more. They even give you a stipend so that you can stip. That's literally $400 in the bank every month, just so that you can enjoy your wonderful Chinese life. I can't even, like, what are they going to do next? Give you free karate school? So how do you get one of these Chinese government scholarships? You've got to go to this website. Those sites that we mentioned before, Kukas and chinaadmissions.com will help you apply for scholarship. Although they do charge a pretty hefty fee for doing so. Deadline for getting a scholarship is in March, so you need to apply earlier than most other international students would. However, between the Chinese government scholarships, local government scholarships, and university scholarships, there's a really good chance that you can study for free in China. If you get admitted to a Chinese university, then it's time for you to get your visa. International students will need to apply for the awesomely named X visa. That's like the visa they give to Tony Hawk when they don't recognize them at an airport. Look it up. It's a thing. It's hilarious. If you got a scholarship, you'll get a JW202 form from your university. If you're self-funded, you'll get a JW201 from your university. You'll need to present these in the local Chinese embassy, along with the V.2013 form. Now, China makes it very, very clear that you need to truthfully, correctly, and completely fill out this form, or else you will be denied. Visa rejection from China is not uncommon. Now, most of the time your visa gets rejected because of a small mistake on your forms, but there's also a few rejections that are kind of mysterious. The Chinese government doesn't explain why they rejects applicants. I am just purely speculating here. I have no evidence to back this up, but the Chinese government cares a lot about its reputation. They don't want anybody talking smack about the Chinese Communist Party, the CCP. And as proof in 2020, the Chinese government sentenced a Chinese student to six months in prison for tweets that he borrowed criticizing the government while he was in the University of Minnesota. He was studying in the U.S., tweeting in the U.S., but because he's talked some smack about China, they put him behind bars.  So if you've been critical about China's treatment of the Uyghur... Sorry, General. Didn't mean to. Let me try it again. So if you've been critical of China's handling of the Hong Kong... Sal, my bad, my bad. I'm gonna get it right this time, okay? If you've been spreading information about the Tiananmen Square... Oh, my bad. That way I can't talk about that one either. Okay, hang on. If you've unfairly slandered the Chinese government by spreading misinformation about things that the Chinese government has never done, don't be surprised if you get rejected for a visa. Help. If everything looks good, you should get your visa in less than a week. The ex visa is only good for 30 days and one entry to China. So you should file for it right before it's time for you to go into the country. Once you get there, you register with local authority who will stamp your passport. After that, you can come and go as you please. You can even bring your family along for a visit using an S2 visa. And that, my people, is everything you need to know to study in China.  This was one of the first requests we ever got on the channel, and I've been dying to make it. Finally, here we are. So if you've got a country you want us to cover, leave it in the comments below. Hit us up on Instagram at prepwithscore or go to prepwithscore.com. If you want some help studying in China, we're looking forward to sending somebody there. We haven't done it yet. I want to do it. Let's go. I'll see you next week.


Hello everybody, and welcome to another hobby-cheating video, and today we're going to talk about how to speed paint complicated models, but do it fast and make them look good. Let's get into it. Lots of new models, like these few sliers in the cities of Sigmar Range, can feel a bit intimidating when you first look at them. It feels almost like they're very detailed, there's a lot to do, and it can seem like painting the army will take you forever. Today I'm going to share some tips and tricks with you that will show you how you navigate these more complicated figures and how we can do it quick and easy and still have a good-looking army we're proud to put on the table. So let's head over to the desk, let's get painting. Right out of the gate, with tip number one, simple and bright colors. Keep your palette for your speed paint simple, and keep some of your main colors being very bright, very poppy, in this case this blue is going to be our main color for like his robes, then we're going to use that nice bright silver. You'll see how that plays out as we go. Tip number two, under shading. Now we don't have to go full on slap chop with this or anything like that. I have a very soft makeup brush, I've worked nearly all the paint off this, and I'm only dry brushing the areas that are going to be matte paint. Anything that's metallic, I'm not going to worry about too much.  And I'm focusing a lot of light on two things like the shield and the upper part of his body. So this is a very quick dry brushing step, took me maybe a minute total, but I can bring out a lot of that texture and if I really work hard I make sure that like especially the top areas, the sticky outty bits, all those things that are going to get highlighted, that's where we're going to focus our energy and get that lighter color which will make our later layers easier. Speaking of later layers, this is how much I'm going to thin my paint down. So I'm going for a very thin layer here. And importantly when I work with paint that's been thinned this much, I touch the brush to the paint, touch it to the paper towel, wick off the excess liquid so I still have control. And this is where we come to tip number three, bright main colors. Now even complicated figs will tend to have some main element. In this case it's his jacket. Now there's lots of other stuff going on in this figure, but we've got his jacket and we've got a shield. And I'm going to make those the same color because the two of those things together form the majority of what you see on this miniature. By going bright with this sort of ocean blue and applying it thin over the top of our under shade, we get a real nice effect, where we have plenty of depth and stuff like that. When it dries it'll dry much darker as you can see there. My next tip is the order of operations matters. So after laying down that blue base coat, I go ahead and I move to dry brushing the metallics. And the reason I'm doing that here is because I want to, I don't need to be too careful with most of these metallics. But I don't want them to the dry brush to hit any of my later work. If I hit any of the blue, it's okay because I'm going to put some more over top of it. So only a little bit of the metallic has to be done like this in the classic form where I'm actually painting it as a layer. And even then I still try to treat it pretty quick. With this dry brush, I'm using a lot of the black and a lot of the color that's already there to remain. And I'm only leaving a little bit of the metal scratchy on the high parts. And the advantage there is, is that it feels more realistic. We have a more beaten worn textured metallic and a lot of speed painting, but making it look good is about using the texture, the brush strokes, things like that to your advantage rather than your disadvantage. So here where even I'm taking a smaller brush, you'll notice I'm still basically using a dry brush like motion. And then when I finally get to the silver, it's the same thing. Very light touches, very rough. I want it to feel like there's some texture, there's some patterning, there's some wear, there's some tear on this metal. So a little bit of texture will actually make it feel more realistic. Those brush strokes can work to our advantage. Once all this metallic is done, I'm done with the metals. So then I go back to my actual coat and now we're going to focus in on those really, really bright colors. And what we've got to do here is really, really pop it up. Just, you know, get those high highlights going. Focus your high highlights and that's what you need to worry about. So the top, the focal points of the fig, spend your time on the areas that people are actually going to look at, his cloak, his shield, the armor. That's 90 percent of this figure. So we don't have to really, this brush is really dying, by the way. I should have got a new brush, but I was bound and determined to keep going on this little crappy brush. That's why I'm actually taking time here. My tip is number six is focus on these main elements. Don't sleep on these parts. Do sleep on everything else we'll cover here. What I mean is the bag or the belts or the little doodads and things like that. Those don't need to be amazing. Those can just be, but I take a little bit more time doing a couple more half steps and layers to get a little bit more smoothness to the jacket. It's still going to be rough. They're still going to be very much a lack of a smooth blend there. But I don't care. The goal here is speed and I want it to look good. And when we focus on still building in contrast, okay, into the figure, uh, that's what makes it still visually appealing. So a smooth, easy, but flat base coat on this figure of just like the ocean blue and one soft highlight that took forever would be much worse than a slightly rough highlight here. As I'm doing with the now moving into the bright ivory inclusion in these highlights, it makes it stand out much more. It makes the figure much more readable and it makes it much more visually appealing from many feet away, which is how our figures are going to be viewed most of the time in an army. You know, if this were something for display or competition, we'd obviously take a completely different tack, but we're not, we got to paint 30 of these guys or 50 of these guys, or I don't know how many fusilliers do you need these days, right? And so now we get to the other elements when it comes to these other elements, we're not going to try very hard on them. We're going to keep it simple. So for things like the wood and stuff like that, we're going to, you know, just get a nice base coat, maybe an edge highlight, call it a day. But my color palette, while simple, can still be impactful. Both of the browns I'm using are quite orange infused. And there's a reason for that. It's another sneaky bit of contrast. You can work in your contrast in subtle ways. It when you, when, you know, orange is contrast to brown, doesn't mean you use pure orange or sorry to blue. It doesn't mean you use pure orange and pure blue. You can sneak it in in these other ways. And in fact, tip number seven is contrast the elements. So when you can use neutral tones like browns that are infused with oranges to go against your blues or take grays and make them green infused to work against the reds or, or whatever, anything like that. That's how you can build in contrast. But we can also do what you see me doing here. I have a very bright cloak, so I'm going to do fairly dark belts and gloves. By using black leather, this very dark black will contrast more strongly and make the blue feel even brighter and stand out even more. If I had just gone onto autopilot and done this in brown, like if I had just done brown leather belts, it would look way worse and less interesting and less visually separated. Then I'll get out of the black part of the key here is admittedly that you have to accept that your blends won't be perfect, that everything won't be smooth and that in the end that doesn't matter. At some point in time, we all became obsessed with this kind of very smooth refinement. But this is army painting. It doesn't really matter. We want stuff that looks good, that looks cool, that looks awesome when there's a big mass of them on the table. And for that, we need visual interest, we need pop, we need color. Those are the elements that make us, that makes the model stand out, make your army look really cool. And so that's where we're going to focus our time and make sure this still gets done quickly. That brings us to our next tip, use texture. When you're working fast like this, you're going to have brush strokes. Let's use those brush strokes to our advantage. When it comes to things like leather and other similar types of elements, we can purposefully have brush strokes on here. So for example, I'm edge highlighting roughly in staccato and using these little lines that basically make it look like rough, beaten leather. So I don't need a perfectly smooth edge highlight. I can be a little rough with it. I can take chips and chunks and hashes and dashes and slices and dices. And in doing so, not only do I make it more visually compelling, but I also make it look more like leather. So the brush strokes work in our favor and end up being adding to the figure, not subtracting to it. The roughness is good. It's what we want. Our next tip is we're definitely going to cheat where we can. What I mean by that is take something like this where we've got the face. It's not really that important. And here's a fun tip. It really only for when you've got like a hidden face like this, like in these masks, but it's highly detailed. You really only need three tones. We start by laying down something like a cork, a base brown tone for the face. We highlight the very highlight sections with an ivory. And then we just slap heavy two heavy layers of Rykland flesh shade over the top of it. When Rykland flesh shade hits ivory and brown, it will bring the two colors together. It will tint the ivory to be something very natural. And you get a wonderful easy flesh tone with very little work. We're not going to go too far on the base. This is a speed paint. So I'm just going to stipple. I laid down some texture obviously here on the base. So this has some texture paste on it. And I'm just going to stipple on some warm brown kind of all over the texture. And then I'm going to very quickly dab in some red pigment, some red brown pigment just to give it some interesting life. When I'm doing that pigment, I'm going to bring that pigment up onto his boots, up onto the shield, up onto the elements that are closest to the ground, which leads me to my last and final tip. Tip number 10, hide your sins. We can hide our sins with some weathering. Now I'm going pretty light on this guy, but if you have areas in the metals or something that didn't turn out okay, we can do some brown washes, some quick chips, some scratches, some rust streaks, stuff like that. But we can just use this weathering step to not only quickly add visual interest, this is just me slapping some ultra thin rinoxide around the model toward the bottom of the coat where it would naturally get stained at the bottom of the metal, at the bottom of the shield. And these little tiny touches take seconds to do, but they can hide our previous bad blends or rough spots and make the figure look like it lives in the world. It occupies and add visual interest like crazy. So there you go, he's all done. Not too bad. All in all, this fig took about 40, 45 minutes of actual paint time. Now, of course, if I was batch painting that, I could have done quite a lot more pretty quickly. So realistically, I could have done the whole unit in just a couple hours because I would have saved time on each step just repeating it along. That's about the speed that I'm comfortable with if I'm really going for a speed paint project. And certainly one that would allow you to get an army on the table within a pretty reasonable amount of time. I'm pretty happy with how this guy came out. I think ultimately he still looks cool. And more importantly, he would still be eye grabbing and look perfectly fine when grouped up with his 10 or 20 or 30 best friends in a unit. And they're bright, they're eye catching. I think they're really going to stand out on the table. If you liked this video, hey, give it a like, subscribe for more hobby cheating in the future.

Hello and welcome to NewsClick. Today we're going to discuss the government's controversial decision to process rice stocks it holds into ethanol. Raghu, this is something quite surprising because of course we have a large amount of food stocks in the go downs. But at a time when it should be available for distribution to the people that we should be converting it to ethanol, is there an urgent requirement for ethanol in the country that you see? I don't see that at all. I am in fact completely flabbergasted by this decision on two counts. One is normally if you are running short of ethanol and ethanol in our country we produce between 3000 to 3500 million liters a year and it is consumed roughly 50-50 between portable alcohol and non-potable alcohol used in pharmaceuticals, chemicals industry etc. Now for the last month and more the portable alcohol industry is completely shut. There's no portable alcohol being made or sold in the country. So all that stock of ethanol is still lying with the distilleries there. The chemical industry on the other hand is also mostly shut because of lockdown restrictions. So the stock of alcohol being held by the non-potable alcohol industries that's also shut. So I would think even the alcohol based industries are holding about one sixth to one eighth of the total stock of alcohol annually available in this country.  That's number one. Let me interrupt for a minute. The question is here that anyway this consumption of alcohol that people have deferred due to the lockdown is not going to spring up and increase if you lift the lockdown. Number one. Number two this industrial slowdown is not for a short time. It's going to now continue for three to four months by all accounts. Absolutely. Therefore this talk is not going to be spent up rapidly even if the lockdown is lifted. And in fact the sugarcane crushing season and all our alcohol ethanol comes from the sugarcane molasses. The next crushing season of sugarcane is coming up in October November of this year when all these stocks are going to get replenished. And as you rightly said before October I don't see us using more than 25 to 30% of accumulated stocks either in the distilleries or in the chemical industries and you're going to come with fresh stocks in October November. So I don't see any shortage of alcohol in this country. That's one aspect. The second aspect is there's a lot of noise the government is making about making sanitizers but the real legal cover they are getting from this is from the biofuels policy under which you have a license in years of excess production to convert surplus rice stocks into bio ethanol used for dozing of petrol. Now petrol also is not being used in the country right now. There are no cars on the roads. There's no consumption of petrol. The trucks which are running run on diesel not on petrol and oil prices are at their historical lowest since the 1990. In fact people are now paying you exactly to lift their oil. So there is no shortage. India can make money by buying crude and converting it to ethanol. Exactly. So there is neither a demand side problem in terms of bio ethanol for petrol nor is there a supply side problem in terms of what you have in stock in terms of alcohol. So I just do not understand the rationale for this except for one thing is to dodge the repeated requests of civil society experts and many others demanding that the food stocks held by the government should be released for distribution to the poor. Anindu you have been following the economic issues quite closely and of course you have been carrying them on this click as well. Now question to you is is it because we are holding too much stock our amount of stock we have been the FCI go downs is already large. So in order to get now new stocks into the go downs instead of giving it to the poor one way of creating space is to give it to the alcohol industry or even actually produce it themselves because one of the things that the government should have done long back actually many people have said that and I had written in the beginning of March that sanitizers by leaders need to be distributed to slump because there's no water there right and as a government and just pointed out that you know a liter of sanitizer last two or probably a month or more so you really didn't need any of this. I think the logic my friend Srinivasan Jain of NDTV actually did a story a series of stories on the kind of stock that there is and at the same time people are going hungry in India and the government responded by saying no there's enough food being given to the poor and also after that they've announced that they'll be using it to make ethanol supposedly because there's excess rice more than what Indians consume and now the point is I think that if you let the poor consume more than what they currently consume which is I think about less than 500 availability is less than 500 grams per person per day around 485, 490. I don't exactly remember the number. They will get used to eating more now you know one of the things that Marx wrote in capital when he discusses the value of labor power and how do you how are wages created? There he says that in the chapter on national differences in wages and how labor power when it's reproduced requires different things dependent on the certain cultural and local aspects for instance he quotes a book from 1770 saying that in England which is a lament by the writer that in England there are too many luxuries that the workers use which is they need snuff they need beer and look at the Germans or the Belgians they're so good they live on very little. Now if you let the poor increase their consumption effectively you're for the long term increasing the basic real consumption of people which has not been done for ages so if you distribute food because there is absolutely no logic why successive governments do not give food to the poor the only logic there can be that you have to keep real consumption of the poor low absolutely at subsistence level and that is one of the reasons why you will not distribute rice and increase consumption even indirect consumption. So what you're saying Anindo is basically that you depress the consumption because you want their wages to be also held low that is also the other part of it I mean there is can you is there any logic I have never feeding the rats in the fci go down so we're getting quite fat and not feeding the people as you know Anindo as you know that if you hold stocks for too long you of course lose a part of your stocks to pests and all kinds of other insects all it deteriorates the other part of it is also that under the current conditions of a lockdown many other things are not available to the poor so in fact rice and wheat would be major elements in their food because as you know the argument has been that as the poor in India but also access to other foods they have stopped eating that much of rice or wheat as they used to do earlier so people who make this argument never tell us what excess amount of food I mean the availability of potatoes in this country average which includes people like me who eat a lot of potatoes is what 25 kilos per person per year or maybe 30 kilos per person per year in a good that's the availability or consumption level and yet we have people tell us that's two kilos in a in a month on an average and we we hear people say oh there people are eating potatoes they're eating a lot of chicken that's why they've stopped eating rice that's the argument can you please tell us what are they eating per capita which has gone up nothing of course I think only eggs I think only eggs has gone up marginally in the last 15 years everything is everything else is lower than what it used to so there is absolutely no argument why we should not be distributing more food grains under the current conditions like let's say the government of India is giving sorry I'm interrupting but the government of India is giving five kilos of free rice of wheat to the to 80 crore supposedly 80 crore people under the Pradhan Mantri Garib Kalyan Yojana now therefore the government of India today effectively accepts that 80 crore Indians are poor because if it is Garib Kalyan surely 80 crore of them are poor that means that the poverty level in this country is 57 percent that means the government of India has accepted that along with that there was stock I don't know whether that has continued that three seven kilos per head will be given at three rupees per kilo per month for three months so you get a total of 12 kilos of rice of wheat at by paying just 21 rupees for rice and 14 rupees for wheat which again works out to 12 kilos by 30 is 400 grams per day now this is lower than what people were eating long ago I think more than a hundred years ago so and this is going to people who are going to be doing manual labor are used to doing manual labor and that is what they eat if you look at people who work in your home you see how much cereal they eat and that is what they eat so even if you tell them take more of this take what they're not used to it so neoliberal economists and columnists and all these people will tell you that oh the poor are eating eggs fish mutton and all that thing and therefore they're not consuming that this is all in five minutes stay in front there's all rubbish unless we use French as you say just two points I'd like to add to that for me the two points is one is the claim by the government that they are distributing this amount under the PM Gareeb Kalyan Yojana press reports all over including in news click reports have come that people are not getting this on one reason or another ration card you're uprooted from where you were so you don't have documents you can't access the pds system etc that is one state governments are doing what they can some governments are not at all in Gujarat for example 95 percent of migrant workers are not being given any food in the daily condition it may be 70 to 75 percent are being given that still leaves a huge chunk of people who are not getting any food and who are lining up for handouts by NGOs and voluntary organizations who are barely able to give them food once a day so that is one part of it the second part of it is the chairman of the food corporation of India who is responsible for the food grain stocks being held has just yesterday and the report has come out today in the newspapers has said look various people are demanding that food grain be released from the fci go downs to feed the poor I want to clarify that's what the fci chairman has said that we do not have any surplus of food grains we have only sufficient buffer stock till the next harvest comes in so we have no excess amount to feed to the poor now you don't have excess money grain to feed to the poor but you have excess grain to convert into alcohol this is completely ununderstandable I have a feeling this fellow is going to get sacked tomorrow to feed cars which are not running that's right yeah that's right that's the beauty of that's right that's right Adid this is an important question what figures we see is fci is holding almost twice the stocks if the buffer stock it requires at the moment that it's going out so how does this statement look it as I think comment Raghunandan said that it looks like it's a risky statement to have made if you want to keep the job that's what it looks like apart from that the all the figures we have for fci stocks it is much more than the buffer stock so what the one where is he speaking from again I think the point is that there's a bit of miscommunication there must be some someone must have told him that you must say that there's not not too much the media is saying why is the food not being distributed in the meantime someone else says there's a lot and we are going to convert it into so classic issue of the left hand of the government or left side of the mouth of the government not hearing what the right side of the government is saying yeah Praveen if we go by the figures strictly by numbers government is holding today something like 56 million tons 30 million tons roughly of rice and 25 26 million tons of wheat the buffer stock as on April 1 that they should be holding according to the norms is about 22 million tons yeah so about two and two and a half and that is precisely why activists and civil society organizations political parties have been demanding you are holding more than your reserve stock as prescribed release it to the poor you know and this is what and today's problem is the rice harvest is already in now for the next harvest you have to wait the wheat harvest has just come in now so there is a period of time during which you will be releasing money from this I mean grain from this stock that you're held over the next let's say four to five months to the pds system which will then bring your levels of food grain stock down so I think these are the numbers that the poor fci corporation chairman is playing with to say yeah well we have some surplus but it is not that much but it is surely sufficient for distribution now unless either you say yes we have this amount of surplus but we don't want to distribute it we want to make alcohol or you have to come out with it and say I don't have surplus which the figures itself contradict so all of this seems to be the government policy at the moment does not seem to be at least coordinated and of course there's a huge shall we say lack of regard for the conditions of the poor which has always been argued that this all the measures that the government has been taking and all the even the prime minister's speeches that he has been giving more for the middle class base rather than looking at it from the point of view of the poor and more importantly the central government does not really have the responsibilities of distribution of food for instance at the local level so at the at another level they don't really get that's not their headache that's not their problem so that is somehow the issue that we seem to get and do you think Anindo this is in some sense an indirect largest for the alcohol companies those who produce alcohol and currently are not able to do so the government gives them free rise in some sense and then buys the sanitizers as a kind of largest it could be that but I have a slightly different perspective on this government's attitude towards the poor I think that if you look at it this government has hasn't I just looked at some of the data on income and consumption but that is available we know that the government of India has held back the latest consumption data that came true but one of the things even in that consumption data was that came out was that the poorest 10 percent of people in rural India their consumption went down by one percent in five years but the top 20 percent their consumption went down by or top 10 percent their consumption went down by 11 percent if you look at the poorest 30 percent in urban India their consumption actually went up by 10 percent so I actually have a slightly different view on what this government wants if I look at the last you know the NABAR financial inclusion survey then we know that in 2017 30 percent of the rural population 30 percent of the rural population had a household income less than 3558 now we convert that into today's 2020 money keeping in mind inflation although we know that in rural India actually wages have not kept pace with inflation but despite that I just take a general inflation rate it comes to a slightly less than about 4000 rupees so let's take that as 4000 rupees so we can easily say about five and a half crore households in India more all of them in rural India have an household income of less than four thousand rupees when they work when they're not working this government is giving them an advance of two thousand rupees which was supposed to come in June you get it in April it's going to about 8.6 8.7 crore farmers out of which and we know last year they didn't spend the entire money so all of it hasn't gone because some states haven't sent the list 19.6 crore jandan accounts for women they're giving 500 rupees from our perspective it looks like absolutely poultry amounts and how will people survive on that but if you're used to surviving on less than four thousand rupees per month entire household five and a half crore families then four thousand rupees or even getting two thousand then another two five hundred rupees installments a free LPG some rice without working is actually not bad at all so this government is very clear keep people at subsistence level and let them be completely dependent on handouts no jobs no work they should be beholden to various Pradhanu Mantri Kalyan Yojana so if you go and ask them what is your condition they'd say we are not bad I guess my former colleague Ravish Kumar actually he collected a lot of information from migrant workers and some of it I've used in my shows in news click and I've also written about it and he has he also got a lot of messages from them on whatsapp which he forwarded to me and I've gone through them most of them these messages that have come say that Modi ji ne humare liye bahut kiya payise mil gaye main in many places there people have been migrant workers who are in urban areas have been told by the village punch that come back to the village because money is being distributed so people are used to living at absolutely pauperized level it's the reverse of what mark said it's like the belgian or the german worker of the 18th century who was living on absolute pauperized level and that pauperized level is where this government keeps it and I do not think it's doing anything for the middle the only thing it does for the Indian middle class is that it has an anti-muslim rhetoric which the middle class is laughing up thanks to the national media and and they love it they they're living with that then they're happy with that because the number of people number of small businesses in India who are who have no revenue flow no cash flow right now and they're unable to pay back loans they're unable people small traders unable to pay back pay their EMI's many places where people have factories with workers four staff will work for 20 years they are sacking everyone else but still playing these people because there is a certain amount of you know a non-market connection that you develop and they're taking loans to do that so I think that the Indian middle class is in a deep deep kind of funk they're in deep trouble and it'll we'll have to come out of it we'll have to do the discussion another day yeah because this was nothing to do really with ethanol and you know so what what I'm saying is that the the objective of the government the reason why even when it distributes food doesn't yet it doesn't want to distribute the excess amount that's lying I can only think of keeping real wages low because if people learn to eat more they'll demand more so they will actually to keep people at the lowest subsistence level is the objective of the government so make them dependent make them live at the subsistence subsistence level don't do anything by which actually they are standard of living and even food which also subsistence increases and that would explain why instead of giving rice you give it to the alcohol companies and this is a this is an old thing and 2009 we did a story on NDTV India the Hindi channel where our reporter went and took footage of monkeys and FCI go down eating and the food wasn't being distributed there was a surplus I mean nine or ten and the government of we I think IMD ministry sent us a notice for spreading fake news at that time and we remember what Monti Singh Alualia and the finance you know the planning commission had said at that time that 13 rupees I think is enough per day for people to survive because that's what they're taken as a ground so even at that time there was excess this is a continuous process we have seen throughout the liberalization years and the Modi government has probably only made it worse in a lot of ways so only thing is as the who says this sort of stands out if nothing else at the level of stupidity you are talking at this time of feeding cars and not feeding people from your rice stock so that that seems to be the crux of the issue today and on top of it when people are actually paying money for you to lift oil stocks if you actually there's a what is the price of all minus 37 dollars which means that people are paying if you lifted their oil from them so this is on one hand the condition oil prices really have collapsed the cars are not running but you're giving rice to make ethanol for the cars so by no logic forget normal conditions today's condition there's absolutely no logic whatsoever not to do this and the only reason I can think of is to make some space in the go downs for the news rice stock which is to arrive and of course help the alcohol industry which must be suffering from the lockdown because alcohol is not considered essential goods so therefore it is not it's factories are unlikely to open soon still thank you very much Anindu and Rahu for being with us and we will continue to have this this and other discussions with you as we follow through what happens during and after the lockdown this is all the time we have the news click today do keep watching news click and other discussions
