Game News Discussion / Explain the concept of seriali...

Last post by mandeep0255 - Today at 10:01 AM

Serialization and Deserialization in Java are concepts that convert Java objects to byte streams and vice versa. These processes are vital for data persistence, communicating between distributed systems and saving an object's state for retrieval later. Java Course in Pune
Serialization is the process of converting a physical object into a stream of bytes that can be saved in a file or sent via a network. This byte-stream contains data about the object, as well as its type and structure. Serialization in Java is achieved by implementing Serializable, which marks the class as serializable, and allows objects of that class to be converted into bytes.
Serialization converts an object's state into a sequence of bytes which represent its data fields and values. Serialization is repeated for any object references contained within the serialized objects. This ensures the entire object graph has been converted into a stream of bytes, ready for transmission or storage.
The process of deserialization is to convert a byte stream back into an actual object. Serialization is reversed. During deserialization the byte stream will be read and then reconstructed to an object. This restores its state back to how it was prior serialization. Deserialization in Java is accomplished by reading the byte stream and using it to recreate an object and its internal states.

Elite Dangerous kinda counts, although it's still alive with thousands of players.

Has had trouble with its updates but the "spacelegs" expansion in 2021 killed its future. 39% positive on steam and that's even with newer reviews thinking it's decent. Now I'm pretty sure the devs are just keeping the player base happy with much less investment.

There's a new rumor that Watch Dogs is dead, because Legion was a failure. Which seems like a big shame, because the franchise had an interesting premise.

Good progress. Don't think I'd want a 3rd party headset though.

As a kid in the 90s and early 2000s video calling felt like some far off thing that'd never actually become common. I could only imagine weird home phones with tvs stuck in your wall. Then of course smartphones took over and became the obvious solution.

On the opposite end, I really expected humanoid robots two decades ago.


Sony had the great qrio robot that was pretty close to going on sale for only a few thousand dollars. They made it look so intelligent and capable, yet a lot of that was highly exaggerated for marketing.

- Releasing OS
- partnering with Lenovo, Asus, Xbox
- Opening up OS - talks about Xbox store, Google's app store, Steam on Horizon OS.

Zuck's Instagram

GamesIndustry.biz

First, the company said that it will make the operating system behind the Meta Quest headsets, Meta Horizon OS, available to other companies to create third-party hardware.

It already has a handful of partners on board to make headsets, with ASUS Republic of Gamers creating "an all-new performance gaming headset," while Lenovo designs one optimized for productivity and entertainment.

Meta also said it will create a limited-edition Meta Quest headset "inspired by Xbox," and Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg suggested in an Instagram post that one could make a VR headset bundled with an Xbox controller and Game Pass so players could play on a virtual big screen TV wherever they happened to be.

Meta is also opening up the Quest more on the software side of things, saying it will make it possible for Quest owners to play content from other storefronts, like Steam, Xbox, and potentially Google Play.

Ehhhh seems.... Ehhhh... Hugh Jackman really should have let Logan be the last wolverine role/movie he did. It ended on such a high. Now it will end on such a low.

What a failure of a company. Go from FU money to this in just a few years.

The split doesn't sound too bad, hopefully things start improving for them.
