Optimizations and Meditations - An Unofficial Software Engineering Portfolio in Blog Style

  In this scene, bullet should say 'I Love You' or 'Remember Me.'   This is a first draft software design mock-up for the possibility of curving a bullet fired from a gun, in the GTA Six, and GTA Six Online video game. Curving a bullet is not in the GTA Online Spy Satellite DLC. The GTA Online Spy Satellite DLC only has satellite-controlled bullets. These types of "exotic ammunition" are not in any of the Grand Theft Auto franchise video games. Maybe that can change.     Players of GTA Six and GTA Six Online should be able to curve bullets. Curving bullets is an interesting topic of discussion because all major search engines, including Google AI's search results, indicate that it is impossible to curve a bullet upon firing it from a gun, unless some parameters are met, and even then, the curve will not be a genuine curve.       The movie 'Wanted' starring Angelina Jolie did a good job in presenting the bullet-curving concept. Curving bullets...

         The image of a smartphone device attached to a machine gun-type weapon, as shown in the image on the left, is slightly misleading. The image is used in this blog entry related to GTA Online, GTA Six, and GTA Six Online.  The image in question, called System A, is clever marketing, but slightly deceptive.      The setup, as shown in the image, implies a connection of some type, such as Wi-Fi or Bluetooth, with the actual scope of the weapon, to then stream the video feed to the smartphone device. Further, the smartphone device, as shown in the picture, implies some sort of ability on the software and hardware side, using proprietary algorithms for tracking and targeting of objects with precision, at a great distance.     System B   The image on the right showing System B, is good marketing. System B shows the smartphone device directly connecting the camera of the smartphone device, to the sniper rifle scope. There is...

I previously explored potential weapon concepts that could appear in the next video game installment of the Grand Theft Auto series - Grand Theft Auto VI (GTA VI). Potential concepts for GTA Six Online have also been explored. I expect GTA VI (Six) and GTA Six Online to be a radical departure from GTA V and GTA Online, even if from the software side of things, certain concepts appear to be the same. I expect GTA Six Online to pay more attention to their knives. With that, I expect knife throwing to be allowed in GTA VI (Six) and GTA Six Online. Knife tricks might also be allowed. I also expect knife sheaths to be in the game. This blog entry will explore, in general, knives and knife sheaths that could be in GTA VI (Six) and GTA Six Online as well as different ways the weapons could be carried in the player's body to achieve an ultra-realistic effect.   The following image is a knife inside of a knife sheath. The knife sheath is customized with an American flag theme. The Amer...

(Author comment: I might have more to say on this later, this is a fun concept.) A new concept to add to GTA VI (Six) that is not currently found in GTA Online, would be the ability for players to customize all of their ammunition.  GTA Online does not allow for the customization of any ammunition that the players use. Without ammunition, the game would be completely different. The ability to customize the ammunition would be an interesting and unique flair to GTA VI (Six) that would set it apart from GTA Online.  (Disclaimer:  this is a speculative concept, but it would be interesting to see in GTA Six Online.) The players in GTA VI (Six) would have the option of customizing their ammunition with different colors, emojis, funny captions or mottos. GTA Online allows for weapons to have specialized skins and colors. GTA Online allows vehicle rims and vehicles to have special colors and skins. However, the ammunition, including the knives, bats, and other weapons have been...
