I was trying to find a way to error/style correct a non-standard custom menu file from a decade old video game that I was working on in Notepad++ and this was the best I could come up with.

The below returns any curly brackets that aren't followed by an EOL character or are preceded by anything other than line start and 1-4 tabs, it works fine but seems like it could be a lot more elegant. Any returned brackets are incorrect unless they're the first or last in the file. More tabs are technically okay highly unlikely.

so I'm trying to create an online game using Babylon.js but have run into a problem thats got me a little stumped so hoping someone here would be willing to help me out. Please bear with me on this one, i'm a complete newbie with babylon as i've only every worked with THREE.js. Right now my game consists of a scene compromising of multiple meshes with multiple users represented as avatars (created from basic circle geometry for the moment) loaded into an environment. What I want to do is highlight the outline of these avatars ONLY when they are occluded by any other object, meaning that when they are not occluded they look normal with no highlight but when behind an object their highlighted silhouette can be seen by others (including yourself as you can see your own avatar). This is very akin to effects used in many other video games (see example below).

Example of Effect

Thus far, based on some googling and forum browsing (Babylonjs outline through walls & https://forum.babylonjs.com/t/highlight-through-objects/8002/4) I've figured out how to highlight the outline of objects using Babylon.HighlighLayer and I know that i can render objects above others via RenderingGroups but I can't seem to figure out how to use them in conjunction to create the effect I want. The best i've managed to do is get the highlighted avatar render above everything but I need just the silhouette not the entire mesh. I'm also constrained by the fact that my scene has many meshes in it that are loaded dynamically and i'm also trying to keep things as optimal as possible. Can't afford to use very computationally expensive procedures.

Anybody know of the best way to approach this? Would greatly appreciate any advice or assistance you can provide.Thanks!

I want to extract story plots from the English Wikipedia. I'm only looking for a few (~100) and the source of the plots doesn't matter, e.g. novels, video games, etc.

I briefly tried a few things that didn't work, and need some clarification on what I'm missing and where to direct my efforts. It would be nice if I could avoid manual parsing and could get just issue a single query.

This repo downloads the pages-articles dump, expands it using wikiextractor, then scans each article and saves the contents of each section whose title contains "plot". This is a heavy-handed method of achieving what I want, but I gave it a try and failed. I had to run wikiextractor inside Docker because there are known issues with Windows, and then wikiextractor failed because there is a problem with the --html flag.

I could probably get this working but it would take a lot of effort and there seemed like better ways.

I used the Wikidata SPARQL service and was able to get some queries working, but it seems like Wikidata only deals with metadata and relationships. Specifically, I was able to get novel titles but unable to get novel summaries.

In theory, DBpedia should be exactly what I want because it's "Wikipedia but structured", but they don't have nice tutorials and examples like Wikidata so I couldn't figure out how to use their SPARQL endpoint. Google wasn't much help either and seemed to imply that it's common to setup your own graph DB to query, which is beyond my scope.

This is a new query service that lets you query several Wikimedia databases. Sounds promising but I was again unable to grab content.

This SO answer says I can query PetScan to get Wikipedia titles, download HTML from Wikipedia.org, then parse that HTML. This sounds like it would work, but PetScan looks intimidating and this involves HTML parsing that I want to avoid if possible.

I have an array of object and I need to get a single property, but it's returning undefined and have no idea why. Does anyone know how to solve?

I would like to create an empty half circle in CSS/SASS, here's my code snippet for the half circle, here's the output:

In a section of my code I made a row-grid for a part that displays images but when I went to insert and look at the website its not displaying in a row format but in a column and im not sure why. I thought the problem came from it being col-sm-6 but i changed it to col-sm-12 and its still not displaying it. Any reasons why?

I've been having trouble with collisions in pygame. Specifically, I have a player and a list of walls, and if they collide, I'm supposed to prevent any more movement in that direction.

I've tried many guides but I can't seem to get this to work myself.

In case of duplicate - i already readed other posts from stackoverflow. Most of them are asociated with Unity3D, and a lot of them are using keywords like theta/omega .. ect. I can't understand any of that stuff. Also, i have 0 knowledge of those formula symbols so i understand 0% of what i readed.

I experiment making a bot for a video game, the only thing im stuck with is how to get the needed rotation degree till i face the given cordinate. Here i made quick example of my question in programming.

Things that i know in the situation:

1. Player1 position
2. Player1 rotation
3. Player2 position (i need to face this player)

And here is how it looks in c#
