    In Route-16, a driving maze game, exiting a maze takes the player to a large overworld map showing the locations of the player, cars, mazes and treasures. [4] In 005 , an early stealth game , players could enter buildings like ice rinks and warehouses from the main screen to avoid enemies, leading to different screens.

    Extreme distortion far from the center. Shows less than one hemisphere. 1772 Lambert azimuthal equal-area: Azimuthal Equal-area Johann Heinrich Lambert: The straight-line distance between the central point on the map to any other point is the same as the straight-line 3D distance through the globe between the two points. c. 150 BC: Stereographic

  5. Magnus effect - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magnus_effect

    Topspin in ball games is defined as spin about a horizontal axis perpendicular to the direction of travel that moves the top surface of the ball in the direction of travel. Under the Magnus effect, topspin produces a downward swerve of a moving ball, greater than would be produced by gravity alone.

  6. Topspin - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Topspin

    A topspin shot is the opposite of the slice; topspin itself is the opposite of backspin. [ 12 ] One way of explaining the Magnus effect is that - because of the rotation and the fact that air acts as a viscous or "sticky" substance on the surface of the ball, a stream of air in the wake of the ball is being ejected upwards.

  7. Backspin - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Backspin

    A backspin shot is also useful for defensive shots because a backspin shot takes longer to travel to the opponent, giving the defender more time to get back into position. Also, because backspin shots tend to bounce less far forward once they reach the opposite court, they may be more difficult to attack.

  8. Cue sports techniques - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cue_sports_techniques

    Follow, sometimes called top spin or simply "top," is spin in the direction of travel of the cue ball, so that it is spinning faster than it would from its natural roll. If the cue ball has top spin on it, it will resume rolling forward after making contact dead-on with the object ball and "follow" the object ball rather than stopping abruptly.

  9. AuthaGraph projection - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AuthaGraph_projection

    An approximation of the AuthaGraph projection. AuthaGraph is an approximately equal-area world map projection invented by Japanese architect Hajime Narukawa [1] in 1999. [2] The map is made by equally dividing a spherical surface into 96 triangles, transferring it to a tetrahedron while maintaining area proportions, and unfolding it in the form of a rectangle: it is a polyhedral map projection.
