Things That Are Hard

Some things are harder than they look. Some things are exactly as hard as they look.

Game AI, Intelligent Opponents, Intelligent NPCs

As you already know, "Game AI" is a misnomer. It's NPC behaviour, escort missions, "director" systems that dynamically manage the level of action in a game, pathfinding, AI opponents in multiplayer games, and possibly friendly AI players to fill out your team if there aren't enough humans.

Still, you are able to implement minimax with alpha-beta pruning for board games, pathfinding algorithms like A* or simple planning/reasoning systems with relative ease. Even easier: You could just take an MIT licensed library that implements a cool AI technique and put it in your game.

So why is it so hard to add AI to games, or more AI to games? The first problem is integration of cool AI algorithms with game systems. Although games do not need any "perception" for planning algorithms to work, no computer vision, sensor fusion, or data cleanup, and no Bayesian filtering for mapping and localisation, AI in games still needs information in a machine-readable format. Suddenly you go from free-form level geometry to a uniform grid, and from "every frame, do this or that" to planning and execution phases and checking every frame if the plan is still succeeding or has succeeded or if the assumptions of the original plan no longer hold and a new plan is on order. Intelligent behaviour is orders of magnitude more code than simple behaviours, and every time you add a mechanic to the game, you need to ask yourself "how do I make this mechanic accessible to the AI?"

Some design decisions will just be ruled out because they would be difficult to get to work in a certain AI paradigm.

Even in a game that is perfectly suited for AI techniques, like a turn-based, grid-based rogue-like, with line-of-sight already implemented, can struggle to make use of learning or planning AI for NPC behaviour.

What makes advanced AI "fun" in a game is usually when the behaviour is at least a little predictable, or when the AI explains how it works or why it did what it did. What makes AI "fun" is when it sometimes or usually plays really well, but then makes little mistakes that the player must learn to exploit. What makes AI "fun" is interesting behaviour. What makes AI "fun" is game balance.

You can have all of those with simple, almost hard-coded agent behaviour.

Video Playback

If your engine does not have video playback, you might think that it's easy enough to add it by yourself. After all, there are libraries out there that help you decode and decompress video files, so you can stream them from disk, and get streams of video frames and audio.

You can just use those libraries, and play the sounds and display the pictures with the tools your engine already provides, right?

Unfortunately, no. The video is probably at a different frame rate from your game's frame rate, and the music and sound effect playback in your game engine are probably not designed with syncing audio playback to a video stream.

I'm not saying it can't be done. I'm saying that it's surprisingly tricky, and even worse, it might be something that can't be built on top of your engine, but something that requires you to modify your engine to make it work.

Stealth Games

Stealth games succeed and fail on NPC behaviour/AI, predictability, variety, and level design. Stealth games need sophisticated and legible systems for line of sight, detailed modelling of the knowledge-state of NPCs, communication between NPCs, and good movement/ controls/game feel.

Making a stealth game is probably five times as difficult as a platformer or a puzzle platformer.

In a puzzle platformer, you can develop puzzle elements and then build levels. In a stealth game, your NPC behaviour and level design must work in tandem, and be developed together. Movement must be fluid enough that it doesn't become a challenge in itself, without stealth. NPC behaviour must be interesting and legible.

Rhythm Games

These are hard for the same reason that video playback is hard. You have to sync up your audio with your gameplay. You need some kind of feedback for when which audio is played. You need to know how large the audio lag, screen lag, and input lag are, both in frames, and in milliseconds.

You could try to counteract this by using certain real-time OS functionality directly, instead of using the machinery your engine gives you for sound effects and background music. You could try building your own sequencer that plays the beats at the right time.

Now you have to build good gameplay on top of that, and you have to write music. Rhythm games are the genre that experienced programmers are most likely to get wrong in game jams. They produce a finished and playable game, because they wanted to write a rhythm game for a change, but they get the BPM of their music slightly wrong, and everything feels off, more and more so as each song progresses.

Online Multi-Player Netcode

Everybody knows this is hard, but still underestimates the effort it takes. Sure, back in the day you could use the now-discontinued ready-made solution for Unity 5.0 to synchronise the state of your GameObjects. Sure, you can use a library that lets you send messages and streams on top of UDP. Sure, you can just use TCP and server-authoritative networking.

It can all work out, or it might not. Your netcode will have to deal with pings of 300 milliseconds, lag spikes, package loss, and maybe recover from five seconds of lost WiFi connections. If your game can't, because it absolutely needs the low latency or high bandwidth or consistency between players, you will at least have to detect these conditions and handle them, for example by showing text on the screen informing the player he has lost the match.

It is deceptively easy to build certain kinds of multiplayer games, and test them on your local network with pings in the single digit milliseconds. It is deceptively easy to write your own RPC system that works over TCP and sends out method names and arguments encoded as JSON. This is not the hard part of netcode. It is easy to write a racing game where players don't interact much, but just see each other's ghosts. The hard part is to make a fighting game where both players see the punches connect with the hit boxes in the same place, and where all players see the same finish line. Or maybe it's by design if every player sees his own car go over the finish line first.

Resolving Storage and Internet Issues

Computers are indispensable tools in our daily lives, but they can sometimes present frustrating challenges, such as running out of storage space or losing internet connectivity. These issues can disrupt productivity and cause significant inconvenience. This article explores practical solutions for two common problems: managing a nearly full startup disk on a Mac and addressing internet access issues on a Windows system. By following these steps, users can restore their devices to optimal performance and maintain seamless operation.

Addressing a Full Startup Disk on Mac

When a Mac displays a warning that the startup disk is nearly full, it signals that the primary drive, which houses the operating system and user files, is running out of space. This can lead to sluggish performance, application crashes, and an inability to save new files. How to Fix Your Startup Disk Is Almost Full on Mac begins with understanding the root cause and taking systematic steps to free up space.

The first step is to check how much storage is being used. Navigate to the system menu, select "About This Mac," and click on the storage tab to view a breakdown of space usage. This visual representation helps identify which file categories—such as applications, documents, or media—are consuming the most space. Once you have this overview, prioritize clearing out unnecessary files. Start by emptying the trash, as deleted files often linger there, taking up valuable space. Next, review the downloads folder, where temporary or forgotten files like installers or duplicates tend to accumulate. Deleting these can quickly reclaim space.

Another effective strategy is to manage large files, such as videos or archived projects, which often occupy significant portions of the disk. Use the built-in storage management tool to locate these files and consider moving them to an external drive or cloud storage. For users with extensive photo or video libraries, optimizing storage by enabling cloud-based syncing can offload files while keeping them accessible. Additionally, uninstall unused applications, as they not only consume disk space but may also run background processes that slow down the system.

Clearing system clutter is another critical step. Temporary files, caches, and logs can accumulate over time. Use trusted cleanup tools available in the Mac’s application store to safely remove these without affecting system stability. For advanced users, manually deleting cache files from the library folder can free up space, but caution is advised to avoid deleting essential system files. Regularly performing these maintenance tasks ensures the startup disk remains manageable, preventing future warnings.

Troubleshooting Internet Connectivity on Windows

Losing internet access on a Windows computer can be equally disruptive, whether it’s due to a misconfigured setting, hardware issue, or network problem. How to Fix No Internet Access in Windows involves a step-by-step approach to diagnose and resolve the issue, restoring connectivity efficiently.

Begin by verifying the physical connections. Ensure the Ethernet cable is securely plugged in or that the Wi-Fi adapter is enabled. Restarting the router and modem can resolve temporary glitches, as these devices sometimes encounter conflicts that disrupt connectivity. After rebooting, check the network status in the Windows taskbar. If the system indicates a connection but still shows no internet access, proceed to deeper troubleshooting.

Run the built-in network troubleshooter by accessing the network settings and selecting the option to diagnose problems. This tool automatically detects common issues, such as incorrect IP configurations or disabled services, and applies fixes where possible. If the troubleshooter doesn’t resolve the issue, manually reset the network settings. This can be done by navigating to the network and internet settings, selecting the reset option, and restarting the computer. Be aware that this resets all network adapters, requiring you to reconnect to Wi-Fi networks afterward.

Another potential cause of internet issues is outdated or corrupted network drivers. Visit the device manager, locate the network adapters, and check for any warning indicators. Updating drivers through the system or downloading the latest versions from the manufacturer’s website can resolve connectivity problems. If the issue persists, check for conflicts with security software. Firewalls or antivirus programs sometimes block connections inadvertently. Temporarily disabling these programs can help identify if they are the culprit, but ensure they are re-enabled after testing to maintain system security.

For persistent problems, consider external factors like network congestion or service provider outages. Contacting the internet service provider to confirm the status of the connection can clarify whether the issue is local or network-wide. Testing the connection on another device can also help determine if the problem is specific to the Windows system or a broader network issue.

Proactive Maintenance for Long-Term Performance

Preventing these issues from recurring requires proactive habits. For Mac users, regularly monitoring storage usage and setting up automatic cloud backups can prevent the startup disk from filling up. Scheduling monthly cleanups to remove redundant files and optimizing storage settings ensures the system runs smoothly. For Windows users, maintaining updated drivers and routinely checking network settings can prevent connectivity disruptions. Keeping security software updated and avoiding unnecessary applications also contributes to stable performance.

KB5058379 Windows Update Fix – Solving Install Failures & Error Codes [2025 Guide]

Microsoft has recently released the Windows 10 update KB5058379, which brings the latest round of security patches and several important bug fixes aimed at improving system stability and protecting users from newly discovered threats. This update is part of the monthly Patch Tuesday rollout and is considered essential for all users still running Windows 10. Microsoft strongly recommends installing the update as soon as possible to ensure that your device remains secure and continues to operate smoothly with the latest protections against vulnerabilities.

However, some users have reported issues during the installation of Windows 10 KB5058379, such as the update failing to install completely, downloads getting stuck at a certain percentage, or encountering generic or specific error codes that provide little explanation. These problems can be frustrating, especially when you’re trying to keep your system secure and up to date.

How to Fix Windows 10 Update Not Installing

If you’re struggling to install the Windows 10 KB5058379 update due to errors, stuck downloads, or failed attempts, don’t worry — there are several proven solutions that can help resolve the problem.

Start by Running the Windows Update Troubleshooter

Let’s start with the easiest and most automated solution: running the Windows Update Troubleshooter. This is a built-in diagnostic tool provided by Microsoft, specifically designed to detect and fix common update-related problems. It checks for issues such as missing or corrupted update files, broken services, and incorrect update settings. Running this tool should always be your first step, as it can resolve many problems without requiring any manual intervention.

Click on the Start menu and select the Settings (gear icon).

In the Settings window, go to Update & Security.

From the left-hand menu, choose Troubleshoot.

Click on Additional troubleshooters.

Under “Get up and running,” select Windows Update, then click on Run the troubleshooter.

Once the tool starts, it will automatically scan your system for problems related to the update process. It may check for things like stuck update queues, missing registry keys, or disabled update services. If it finds any issues, it will attempt to fix them or guide you through the necessary steps.

Free Up Disk Space on the System Drive

A surprisingly common reason why Windows updates fail is due to insufficient disk space. Updates like KB5058379 need adequate storage to download files, unpack them, and install changes to system components. If your C: drive is running low on space, the update may stall or fail entirely.

Open the Start menu and type Disk Cleanup, then select it from the results.

In the Disk Cleanup window, choose the C: drive and click OK.

Wait while Windows calculates how much space you can free up.

In the list of files to delete, check options like Temporary files, Recycle Bin, Delivery Optimization Files, and Windows Update Cleanup.

Click OK and confirm with Delete Files.

Additionally, consider uninstalling unused applications or transferring large files, like videos, photos, or installers, to an external drive or cloud storage. After freeing up at least 10–15 GB of space, attempt the update again.

Perform a Clean Boot to Avoid Software Conflicts

Sometimes, third-party applications — particularly antivirus software, system cleaners, or firewall programs — can interfere with Windows updates. A clean boot starts Windows with only the essential Microsoft services running, eliminating conflicts caused by background applications.

Press Windows + R to open the Run dialog, type msconfig, and press Enter.

In the System Configuration window, go to the Services tab.

Check Hide all Microsoft services, then click Disable all.

Now go to the Startup tab and click Open Task Manager.

In Task Manager, disable all enabled startup items one by one.

Close Task Manager and return to the System Configuration window, then click OK.

Restart your computer.

Once your PC restarts in a clean boot state, try installing the KB5058379 update. If it succeeds, it’s likely that a background service was interfering. After updating, you can re-enable your startup programs by reversing the above steps.

Reset Windows Update Components Manually

If the above steps don’t help, it’s time to manually reset the Windows Update components. Over time, the folders that store update files — like SoftwareDistribution and Catroot2 — can become corrupted or bloated with outdated data. Resetting them essentially gives Windows Update a clean slate.

Before deleting any update files, you need to stop certain services that are currently using those files.

Press Windows + R on your keyboard to open the Run dialog box.

Type services.msc and press Enter. This will open the Services window.

In the list, scroll down and locate the following services:

Windows Update

Background Intelligent Transfer Service (BITS)

Cryptographic Services

Right-click each of these services one by one and select Stop.

Now, Open File Explorer and navigate to C:\Windows\SoftwareDistribution\Download

Inside the Download folder, press Ctrl + A to select all files.

Press Shift + Delete on your keyboard to permanently remove them.

If prompted for administrator permission, click Yes.

💡 This folder contains cached update data that Windows uses during the installation process. Deleting these files will force Windows to download fresh copies.

Once you’ve cleared the update cache, go back to the Services window and the services you stopped earlier.

Now that the components have been reset, go back and try checking for updates again:

Open Settings > Update & Security > Windows Update.

Click Check for updates and wait for the update to download and install.

Use the Microsoft Update Catalog to Install KB5058379 Manually

If automatic updates continue to fail, you can bypass the process entirely by manually downloading the KB5058379 update from the official Microsoft Update Catalog. This method allows you to install the update directly as a standalone package.

Visit the Microsoft Update Catalog.

In the search box, type KB5058379 and press Enter.

Browse the list to find the version that matches your system architecture (for most users, this will be Windows 10 64-bit).

Click Download next to the appropriate version.

A new window will open — click the link to download the .msu file.

Once downloaded, double-click the file to run the standalone installer.

Follow the on-screen instructions to complete the update.

This method bypasses the Windows Update mechanism entirely, making it especially useful when the regular update tool is failing due to service-related issues.

How to Speed Up Your Laptop in 3 Easy Steps! ⚡ #TechHacks #PCTips #FasterPerformance

Are you tired of your laptop dragging its feet while you try to get work done or enjoy your favorite shows? You're not alone! Many laptop users face performance issues over time, but the good news is that you can often revive your device's speed without any technical expertise. Here, we present three simple steps to enhance your laptop's performance significantly.

Step 1: Clean Up Your Hard Drive

Over time, your laptop accumulates files, applications, and temporary data that can slow it down. Cleaning up your hard drive is an essential first step in speeding up your laptop.

How to Do It:

Uninstall Unused Applications: Go through your applications list and remove those you no longer use. To do this on Windows, go to Settings > Apps > Apps & Features, and on macOS, drag the app from the Applications folder to the Trash.

Delete Temporary Files: Use built in tools like Disk Cleanup on Windows (search for "Disk Cleanup") or the "Optimize Storage" option on macOS to delete temporary files and free up space.

Organize Files: Keep your files organized. Move them to external storage or cloud services if you don't need them readily accessible.

Step 2: Optimize Startup Programs

Having too many programs launch at startup can significantly slow down your laptop’s boot time and overall performance.

How to Do It:

Manage Startup Programs: On Windows, right click the taskbar and select Task Manager. Go to the Startup tab to see which programs are set to launch at startup. Disable any unnecessary applications. On macOS, go to System Preferences > Users & Groups > Login Items to manage your startup programs.

Limit Background Processes: Some applications run in the background, consuming resources even when you’re not using them. Check the Task Manager (Windows) or Activity Monitor (macOS) to identify and close unnecessary processes.

Step 3: Upgrade Your Hardware

If you've done all the software optimizations and your laptop still feels sluggish, it might be time to consider a hardware upgrade.

Options to Consider:

Add More RAM: Increasing your laptop's RAM can help it run multiple applications more smoothly. Most laptops allow for RAM upgrades, which can significantly boost performance for multitasking.

Switch to an SSD: If you’re still using a traditional hard drive (HDD), consider upgrading to a Solid State Drive (SSD). SSDs are much faster and can dramatically decrease load times for your operating system and applications.

Clean the Hardware: Dust and debris can accumulate inside your laptop, leading to overheating and performance issues. Periodically cleaning the vents and fans can help maintain optimal performance.

Conclusion

Improving your laptop's speed doesn't have to be a daunting task. By following these three easy steps—cleaning up your hard drive, optimizing startup programs, and considering hardware upgrades—you can breathe new life into your laptop and enjoy faster performance in no time!

Stay tuned for more #TechHacks and #PCTips to keep your devices running smoothly. Your laptop deserves the best care!

Why Your Computer Gets Slower Over Time — And What You Can Do About It

Ever wondered why a computer that once felt lightning-fast now takes forever to load? You're not alone. Over time, every computer tends to slow down. Whether it’s an older machine or a fairly new one, the frustration is real. Understanding why this happens is the first step to fixing it—and even preventing it.

In this guide, we’ll explore the most common causes of slow PCs and what you can do to bring them back up to speed. If you’re looking for more in-depth solutions, don’t miss our full guide on how to speed up a slow computer.

1. Hidden Bloat and Startup Programs

You install a cool new app today. Then another one next week. Eventually, your system is packed with software—some of which you don’t even remember downloading. Many of these programs run in the background, especially at startup, slowing down your boot time and eating up system resources.

💡 Quick Fix:

Open Task Manager and check the Startup tab.

Disable apps you don’t need launching at startup.

Uninstall programs you no longer use.

2. Running Low on Disk Space

A nearly full hard drive can really hurt your PC's performance. Windows needs free space to manage system files and temporary data. When your drive is full, everything slows down—searches, app launches, and even basic file browsing.

🧹 What to Do:

Delete junk files and downloads.

Use Disk Cleanup or Storage Sense (on Windows 10).

Empty the Recycle Bin regularly.

This small habit can significantly speed up your machine.

3. Malware and Background Apps

Malware isn’t just a security risk—it’s a major performance killer. Even if your PC isn’t showing obvious signs of infection, malicious software could be silently running, using up memory and CPU power.

🔐 Recommended Actions:

Run a full system scan with Windows Defender or Malwarebytes.

Check for browser extensions that might be slowing down your web activity.

Avoid downloading cracked software or files from unknown sources.

Just keeping your PC clean can make a huge difference in speed and stability.

4. Outdated Hardware or Drivers

Sometimes, it’s not the software—it’s the hardware. If you’re still running on a traditional hard drive, switching to an SSD can make your computer feel brand new. Also, missing or outdated drivers can cause hiccups that slow everything down.

⚙️ Upgrade Ideas:

Upgrade to SSD if you're using an HDD.

Add more RAM if your system is lagging with multiple open tabs.

Update your graphics and chipset drivers regularly.

5. How to Keep Your Computer Fast (Even After Years)

Maintaining a fast PC isn’t just about fixing problems—it’s about building healthy tech habits. A few minutes of monthly maintenance can go a long way.

✅ Pro Tips:

Restart your computer at least once a week.

Keep your system and apps updated.

Schedule regular cleanups using built-in tools.

For a more advanced, step-by-step guide, check out our full article on how to speed up a slow computer. It includes expert-level tips tailored for Windows 10 users.

Final Thoughts

Computers slow down for a lot of reasons—but that doesn’t mean you have to live with it. Now that you know what causes the lag, you can take smart steps to keep your system running smoothly. Whether it’s clearing space, upgrading hardware, or simply restarting more often, every small action adds up.

And remember, when you’re ready to dive deeper into the fix, we’ve got a full breakdown of 10 tech tips to help you speed up your computer, right here.
