Design and development of an alchemy-related puzzle video game (A)
No full textWith video games’ increasing popularity among most age groups, it is expected to have a strong growth and demand in the upcoming years. This project aims to develop an Alchemy-themed 2D platformer puzzle game playable on Windows PC that provides a more intriguing experience for players. Instead of limiting the players’ creativity due to the limiting number of solutions to solve a puzzle game, the project explores the possibility of expanding the range of potential actions players can take to solve a puzzle using a wider variety of tools.
With the collaboration among 4 students – Khoo Kai Yi Chloe, Leo Boon Yin, Wayne, Loke Seng, Theodore and Jeannie Chan Ting Ting, the game was developed with the intention to participate in Game Development World Championship (GDWC) and Independent Games Festival (IGF) in 2022. The team of students handled the full development of the game creation, including the Game flow designs, mechanics, graphics, and sound designs.
This report focuses on the author’s contributions which includes the development of the game designs, consisting of art assets, animations and cutscenes, drawn using Clip studio Paint, which were then integrated onto Unity. In addition, the author also worked on various game mechanics systems being implemented using C# programming language which will also be discussed upon in the report.Bachelor of Engineering (Information Engineering and Media

Hong Kong: workfare in the world's freest economy
No full textWorkfare was introduced in many countries to suppress welfare dependency and reduce social security expenditures. However, workfare was launched in Hong Kong when there was only a relatively small social security budget and its citizens still strongly adhered to the ideologies of self-reliance. It was found that workfare has performed several functions in Hong Kong. Firstly, it has forced unemployed claimants to give up benefits so that Hong Kong's social security expenditures can be saved. Secondly, workfare had combined with Hong Kong's semi-democratic polity so that extremely stigmatising welfare measures were implemented. Thirdly, it has pushed poor citizens to the labour market without having any protection over wages and working hours. Thus, the combination of workfare and a semi-democratic polity has successfully suppressed Hong Kong's welfare demands and strengthened its self-help spirit. As a result, Hong Kong's minimal social security scheme and its low tax policy have been maintained
Android application for capturing personal data on name card using OCR
No full textThe author was tasked to develop a user-friendly Android application (app) that can capture essential contact information on a business name card and store these information into a database for the user to view at his or her discretion. The author’s project timeline span the entire duration of Semester 1 and 2 for his Final Year Project (FYP), which is part of the prerequisite of completing the degree in Electrical and Electronic Engineering from Nanyang Technological University. This report aims to highlight what the author has learned and accomplished from completing his Android mobile app project.
The author had to self-learn Java programming language to grasp the basics of utilizing object-oriented programming methodology to build a strong foundation to work in Android Studio’s IDE to build a client-side mobile app. Moreover, the author also has to learn server-side programming language PHP to handle the photo transmitted from the Android app to the server for several backend processing processes to extract and store the relevant contact information from the business name card photo.
Moreover, the author also had to research and evaluate for viable free software’s or Application Programming Interface (API) (e.g. Optical Character Recognition (OCR), Natural Language Processing (NLP) and Name Entry Normalization function to determine multiple person’s name entry probability) on the commercial market that can extract free-form text with relatively high accuracy and disambiguate free-form text for unique data fields (e.g. Name, Address, Company Name and etc.) from a business name card to store into the respective designed database schema field. In addition, as an add-on to the project scope, the author also has designed a web interface on the server-side to reflect the stored database data fields into a presentable format where the user can view, add, edit and delete data entries at his or her discretion within the client-side app.Bachelor of Engineerin

The effect of job satisfaction on the relationship between organizational culture and organizational performance
No full textMeta-heuristic algorithms have become popular in finding optimal solutions for
nonlinear complex problems. These algorithms belong to stochastic and nondeterministic
classes, have some problems with exploration or exploitation. The
researchers used different strategies to tackle these issues. The flower pollination
algorithm (FPA) is one of the more popular nature-inspired search algorithms. It has
powerful global searchability to find the best optimal solution of real-world problems
by using levy flight to explore the search space. Moreover, its single tuning parameter
and simple mathematical model make it easier to implement. However, the flower
pollination algorithm has a few drawbacks which are partially addressed by the
practitioners. The first issue is regarding the balance between global pollination and
local pollination, which may negatively affect the optimality of solution. Secondly, the
FPA has a diversification problem which may leads to premature convergence of the
optimal solution. This research proposed an algorithm which is based on dynamic
switch probability to control the balance between exploration and exploitation which
increases its searchability. The swap operator has been added in local pollination to
enhance the exploitation behavior of pollens during the pollination process.
Furthermore, it is hybridized with the Pattern Search algorithm to ensure the optimality
of the solution. The performance of the proposed algorithm (IFPDSO-PS) has been
evaluated on seventeen standard test functions and compared with the stated metaheuristic
algorithms. The statistical tools (Absolute Mean Error & Fried Man) are used
to rank the performance of all algorithms. The proposed algorithm is ranked first
among the stated algorithms with respect to its performance in getting the optimal
solutio
