Garry's Mod (commonly abbreviated as Gmod, stylized as garry's mod), is a sandbox physics game designed by Garry Newman,^[2]and later by his company, Facepunch Studios for Microsoft Windows, OS X and Linux.^[1] Garry's Mod was originally a modification forValve's Half-Life 2, but was later made into a standalone release in 2006.

Gameplay[edit]

Although Garry's Mod is listed as a full game, it has no objectives and instead gives the player a sandbox to manipulate items free of restrictions, although most multiplayer servers offer original game modes created by players. Garry's Mod allows players to manipulate items, furniture, and props – various objects that players can place in-game.

Props can be selected from any installed Source engine game or from a community created collection. The Physics Gun allows objects to be picked up, adjusted, and frozen in place. The Tool Gun is a multi-purpose tool for performing tasks, such as constraining props together, creating interactive buttons, and creating controllable winches and wheels. The Tool Gun is also used to control add-ons created by the community. The game uses the Source engine's modified version of the Havok Physics Engine,^[3] which allows players to build contraptions that follow the laws of physics, allowing for very real structures and experiments.

Another popular concept in Garry's Mod is ragdoll posing. The player can instantiate a ragdoll model from a Source game and pose it using a variety of tools.^[4] This is a popular tool for making fan-made videos and machinimas.^{[citation needed]}

User-created content[edit]

Garry's Mod allows users to take advantage of the extensibility of the Source Engine through the spawn menu which enables users to spawn models and maps imported by the user. Since Garry's Mod version 9, Lua scripting has been a notable feature added to the game which allows players to run their very own scripts, which expanded potential user modifications by enabling the creation of scripted weapons, entities, vehicles, tools, gamemodes and NPCs that weren't possible in the game before.^[5] Multiplayer game serverswill automatically attempt to send any custom content to the client when they connect.^[6] Popular mods include Trouble in Terrorist Town, DarkRP, Deathrun, Jailbreak, and Prophunt.^[7]

Fretta contest[edit]

In winter 2009-2010, a contest was held for Garry's Mod by the game's developers to create the best new game mode using a programming framework called "Fretta".^[8] Fretta, Italian for "hurry", allows developers to quickly and easily create new game modes for Garry's Mod with commonly required functionality already implemented so the developers can focus on unique aspects of their game modes. Fretta was inspired by a similar fan-created framework "Rambo_6's Simple Gamemode Base". However, for inclusion inGarry's Mod, Newman decided to rewrite it with input and contributions from the original author and other developers.^[9] The winners of the contest range from a recreation of theMafia party game to an aerial combat game mode.^[10] The contest winners have been included in Garry's Mod with their own Steam Achievements.^[11]

Three of the winning games have been shipped, Trouble in Terrorist Town, Dogfight Arcade Assault, and Prop Hunt.^[12]

Toybox and Steam Workshop[edit]

Garry's Mod 12 added a function called Toybox into the spawn menu (in Sandbox) that allowed players to share and download user-created content. After 2012's release of the Steam Workshop feature, Garry's Mod 13 replaced the Toybox feature with Steam Workshop. With the Steam Workshop feature came more addons for gamemodes other than Sandbox, a deeper connection to dedicated servers using "collections" (a feature called FastDL for its faster download speeds than downloading directly from the server itself), and other small improvements.

History[edit]

Garry's Mod became available on Valve's content delivery service Steam on November 29, 2006.^[1] In the past, playing Garry's Mod was free from 2004 to 2005, with the last free version released on November 27.^[13] As of September 2014, the game had sold over 6 million copies.^[14]

Sequel[edit]

A sequel based on Garry's Mod has been confirmed and is now under development. According to Garry Newman, the new game will focus on virtual reality, specifically for theOculus Rift.^{[citation needed]}

HOW TO PLAY CLASH OF CLANS

Clash of Clans is an addictive game where you build a base, protect it, train troops and attack others. As you get more and more gold and elixir resources, your base will get bigger and better! Here is a simple, easy to follow method of how to become an experienced Clash of Clans player.

Part 1 of 4: Getting Started

1. 
   1
   Get your base up and running. First priority is to make your base more defensive so no one takes away your treasures. Focus on trying to put your town hall in the center of your base so that it is hard to take more trophies from you that come with taking down the town hall.
2. 1. 
      2
      Go to the Shop, the items to protect your base are under "Defense." Good initial defenses are walls and the mortar. If you have these, you are much less likely to have someone raid you and steal your gold and elixir. Walls are much better upgraded so make sure you can do that quite quickly.Try to get the walls to level 3 as quick as possible.
   2. 
      3
      Since you have limited resources at first, put the walls you buy around the most important buildings only. It is great if you can protect the town hall, gold storage(s) and elixir storage(s). Kick the builder huts and army buildings out. Also, do not try to put walls around everything. It's better to have double thick walls than one huge line, right?
   3. 
      4
      Spend your gold, elixir and gems wisely. Do not waste them, especially your gems because they come in short supply. Do not spend your gems! Save them for another builder hut!

      • Use your gems to build builder's huts. It is tempting to them all right away, but don't. You will need your gems later.
      • The most efficient way to spend gems is to invest in builders' huts as this enables you to upgrade multiple towers and other defenses at once.
      • Don't spend on extra gold or elixir storage at first, because you don't need it.
   4. 
      5
      Decide if you want to use real money to get ahead in the game. You can buy more gems with real money.^[1]

      • There are other ways of getting gems than spending money. So if you don't want to spend your money, not to worry. You can get gems when you remove trees and obstacles from the area around your base.

   Part 2 of 4: Protecting Your Base

   1. 
      1
      Remember, defense is the best offense! Build a strong base to protect yourself from attackers. It is very satisfying to have enemies attack you and fail.
   2. 
      2
      Make sure your base is concentrated in one area, not spread out.
   3. 
      3
      Keep your key buildings in the most defensible position. Place your storages and town hall in the center of your base, behind the defenses and walls.
   4. 
      4
      Put builders huts in the corners. That way, when enemies attack the middle of your base, they won't have time to get to your huts as well.
   5. 
      5
      Continue to improve your defenses. After you have gained resources, make your base even stronger by upgrading walls and other defenses and towers.
   6. 
      6
      Use traps as much as possible. Traps do a lot of damage to attacking enemies and are worth upgrading, the one time hit damage can easily take out groups of smaller troops and seriously hurt larger types too. Put them in sneaky places that people wouldn't expect.
   7. 
      7
      Protect all of your defenses. Eventually, you can aspire to other more advanced defenses like archer towers and anti aircraft defenses. Mortars do a lot of damage per shot but they shoot very slowly. Keep these in the center of your base because of their blind spot and their superb range. If you do not protect your air defenses your base will fall to healers.

   Part 3 of 4: Attacking Others

   1. 
      1
      Attack whenever possible. Attacking is all good. There is no downside and you can get valuable items and trophies. You may want to lose trophies to get resources from easier defenders. You will not get as much per raid but it's easier and you don't have to spend as much on your army. It is easier to steal resources than mine for them. And, it is fun!
   2. 
      2
      Check how much gold an enemy base has before attacking. You can see how much gold each possible enemy base you can attack has. It it has none, don't bother attacking. If it has a very large amount, it may be too well defended for you to attack. However, if it has a large amount and you can take it ,do it. Take a few risks!
   3. 
      3
      Attack the treasures. Have your troops attack the storage areas for gold and elixir first.

      • After a successful attack, you will bring back more gold and elixir, which you can then spend.
      • If you are losing an attack, there is no shame in just pulling back your troops to your base. You can always train more troops later. Know when to quit.
      • When you attack a gold storage, the gold will go into your bank account immediately. Even if your troops are killed during the attack, the gold remains in your account.
   4. 
      4
      You get even more treasure/bonus if you completely destroy the opponents base or town hall.
   5. 
      5
      After attacking, make sure you train more troops, to replace the ones lost in battle. To train, tap the barracks and you will see the train menu. The best ones to train at first are barbarians (for 25 elixir each) and giants (for 500 elixir each.)
   6. 
      6
      Eventually, build a laboratory. The laboratory lets you upgrade your troops so they have more offensive power and can sustain more damage. You can also get advanced kinds of troops such as archers, a wizard, and goblins. You can also build a spell factory after a while. This can create many spells that add different advantages to your attacks.
   7. 
      7
      As you start collecting trophies you will go up in leagues, each league has a bonus of extra gold and elixir win winning a match. The higher league level is the higher the bonus becomes. The higher level leagues also provide a dark elixir bonus.

   Part 4 of 4: Joining a Clan and Getting Social

   1. 
      1
      You need to re-build the clan castle so you can join a clan. In a few days after starting, find your clan castle and upgrade it.
   2. 
      2
      Once you have your clan castle rebuilt, look for a clan to join. Take your time and check to see which one look good. You probably want one where the people are online around the same time as you.
   3. 
      3
      Clan members don't attack each other, and in fact can share troops too.
   4. 
      4
      A clan is a good way to find new attack or defense strategies.
   5. 
      5
      If you are in a clan, you will get to chat and get to know people you should like. You also can have the fun of attacking and defending with people who are your same experience level i the game.
   6. 
      6
      A clan can participate in Clan Wars, in which the members of the clan can go face-to-face with another clan and earn enormous amounts of loot.
   7. 
      7
      If you don't like the clan you are in, switch clans. You may find yourself in a clan where people are all much older or younger than you. Or, they all speak a different language. Either way, no shame in moving on.
   8. 
      8
      Once in a clan there is a possibility to be promoted to a "Clan elder", this gives you the ability to kick players from the clan.
   9. 
      9
      Members with high levels are likely to donate and share high level troops.
   10. 
       10
       If joining a clan isn't really for you but you enjoy talking to people there is still the global chat. The global chat is an open chat room for any players online.
   11. 
       11
       Note that you can be banned from the global chat if you excessively use offensive language

   12. Tips

       Attack and defense tips:

       • It's important to have both a good offense and defense.
       • If you're in a clan, it's good to share troops; the more troops you share, the more you are likely to get in return.
       • Upgrading the clan castle is a good idea as it's a great way to improve your offense without spending any elixir.
       • Train troops before you are about to attack with full army camps so that when your attack is completed, additional troops while be trained during the attack; thus, resulting in less time spent waiting for troop production.
       • Your village cannot be attacked by other players if you are online.
       • Single player mode is also a good way to earn gold and elixir (especially the higher levels).
       • Vary your troops that you use to find a combination of troops that compliments yourplaying style. Once you find a good combo stick with it until you unlock another troop. Try troops out.

       Other tips

       • You can also remove bushes, trunks, and trees for occasional gems.
       • Pay close attention to upcoming updates as several can be highly beneficial to you. For example, SuperCell often reduce the amount of gems it costs to boost production type towers for a varied amount of days.
         • SuperCell's clash of clans updates can be found on their Facebook page here.
       • When trying to recruit members for you clan, try the global chat in order to spread the word.
         • Offering positions such as clan elder can make new members more inclined to join but makes you seem desperate for members.
       • Join ClashTillUBleed or War Till UBleed.
       • If battles are getting too hard and you find yourself losing resources instead of gaining any, just drop down league(s) till your comfortable with the battle selection.
       • You can find all the queries, questions and other doubts related to Clash of Clans on official forum. ^[2]
