Clash of Clans is a freemium mobile strategy video game developed and published by Finnish game developer Supercell. The game was released for iOS platforms on August 2, 2012, on Google Play for Android on October 7, 2013; the game is set in a fantasy-themed persistent world. Clash of Clans tasks players to build their own town using the resources gained from attacking other players through the game's fighting features; the main resources are gold and dark elixir. Players can conjoin to create clans, groups of up to fifty people who can participate in Clan Wars together and receive troops, chat with each other. Clash of Clans was released to positive reviews from critics. Clash of Clans is an online multiplayer game in which players form communities called clans, train troops, attack other players to earn resources. There are four resources in the game. Gold and elixir can be used to build and reload defenses that protect the player from other players' attacks. Elixir and dark elixir are used to train and upgrade troops and spells.

Gems are the premium currency. Attacks have a maximum timed length of three minutes; the game features a pseudo-single-player campaign in which the player can attack a series of fortified goblin villages and earn gold and dark elixir. The game starts with two builders, but the player can have up to five builders through buying them with gems and a sixth by getting and unlocking the OTTO Hut in Builder Base 9. To earn and store gold and elixir, players must build gold mines and gold storages and elixir collectors and elixir storages, respectively. Elixir is used to train new troops, carry out research in the laboratory to upgrade troops, to build and upgrade certain buildings pertaining to buildings used in attacking another player's base. Gold is used to build defensive buildings and to upgrade the town hall, which allows access to more buildings and higher levels for existing buildings. At Town Hall 7, dark elixir becomes available; the Eagle Artillery, a defensive building only available at Town Hall 11, is fueled by elixir.

Town Hall 11 provides access to a new hero - The Grand Warden. It is the only hero born out of elixir. To earn and store dark elixir, players must build dark elixir drills and dark elixir storages. Town Hall 12 gets a defensive building called Giga Tesla, built-in after the Town Hall 12 upgrade, while being upgraded to Town Hall 13, it replaces Giga Tesla into Giga Inferno. Town Hall 13 unlocks of the following: Scattershot and Royal Champion. There are a number of buildings available to the player to defend their village, including cannons, bombs, traps, archer towers, wizard towers, inferno towers, eagle artilleries, scattershots. Players can build walls, which can be upgraded as a player's town hall level increases; the game has two kinds of spell factories. The barracks create troops using elixir; the spell factories follow the same pattern - the normal spell factory creates spells using elixir, the dark spell factory using dark elixir. All troops and spells have different properties; as the player progresses, several new troops and spells are able to be unlocked.

At Town Hall 12, the Workshop can be made. This building can make four types of siege machines: the Wall Wrecker, the Battle Blimp, the Stone Slammer, the Siege Barracks. Clans are groups of players who join together to materially or verbally. Players can join clans. A major component of the gameplay of Clash of Clans is clans facing off against one another in the "clan wars". Clan leaders and co-leaders can begin wars against other clans; each clan is given one "preparation day" and one "war day." When a player attacks a member of the opposing clan, they receive stars based upon the amount of destruction they cause to the opponent's base, 50% damage or more gives 1 star, destroying the townhall gives 1 star and destroying the entire base gives the remaining 3rd star. Each player is limited to two attacks per war and the team with the most stars at the end of the war day is declared victorious. If the two clans' number of stars are equal the victor is the one that has a greater percent of destruction.

Players receive bonus war loot. This loot is decided by Supercell. If the clan wins the war, the bonus loot is delivered to the player but during a loss or draw one-third of the loot is delivered to the player. In the March 2016 update, 35v35 and 45v45 were removed; the available war sizes are 50v50, 40v40, 30v30, 25v25, 20v20, 15v15, 10v10, 5v5. In the May 2016 update, Friendly Challenges were introduced to allow clanmates to compete amongst other clanmates, however these challenges do not provide loot or trophies and do not affect a player's army. In the October 2018 update, Clan War Leagues were introduced. Clans would fight seven other clans to advance to the next league and earn league medals by earning stars in Clan War Leagues; the clan in the group with the most stars will be promoted to a higher league, while the clans in the group with the least stars will be demoted to a lower league. Following an update on May 22, 2017

On, during his 20s, grew up listening to such bands as Led Zeppelin, the Who, Black Sabbath and Cream while he would play in local bands such as Hell Hostage. Columbus was known to be loving and funny made jokes and was fun to be around, he was a huge Philadelphia Eagles fan and would dress up as a football player as a quarterback or running back.

Columbus stated in his interview he was working on a solo project instrumental but was never released, was playing with Ross the Boss and a local band PSC. Manowar never announced Columbus's departure in 2008. In an interview with Classic Rock magazine, Scott said "I'd say it was about April 2008; when Mr. DeMaio and myself agreed to disagree on a few points of interest; that leads us up to today. You know what? I had a wonderful career with Manowar; when asked about his departure in the early 1990s Scott said "It was the end of 1989 leading into 1990. I was gone in 1990, the first time.

I can just tell the world that my son was never sick. So you can deduce from that. However, that's what I'll tell you."Columbus played the so-called "Drums of Doom", a kit made of stainless steel, because his drumming technique was too rough on standard kits which had to be replaced too regularly.

A rare talent a rare individual, a father, a friend and a brother of metal. All of the great moments we spent together are burnished in our memories forever. We know he is at peace, he will never be forgotten. Your family and brothers, Eric, Donnie, and all at Magic Circle Music".

Design predicates are a method invented by Thomas McCabe, to quantify the complexity of the integration of two units of software. Each of the four types of design predicates have an associated integration complexity rating. For pieces of code that apply more than one design predicate, integration complexity ratings can be combined; the sum of the integration complexity for a unit of code, plus one, is the maximum number of test cases necessary to exercise the integration fully. Though a test engineer can reduce this by covering as many uncovered design predicates as possible with each new test; some combinations of design predicates might be logically impossible. Unit A always calls unit B; this has an integration complexity of 0. For example: unitA::functionA Unit A may or may not call unit B; this integration has a complexity of 1, needs two tests: one that calls B, one that doesn't. UnitA::functionA This is like a programming language's switch statement. Unit A calls one of several possible units.

Integration complexity is n - 1. UnitA::functionA In an iterative call, unit A calls unit B at least once, but maybe more; this integration has a complexity of 1. It requires two tests: one that calls unit B once, one test that calls it more than once. UnitA::functionA Any particular integration can combine several types of calls. For example, unit A may or may not call unit B; this integration combines a conditional call, with its integration complexity of 1, an iterative call, with its integration complexity of 1. The combined integration complexity totals 2. UnitA::functionA Since the number of necessary tests is the total integration complexity plus one, this integration would require 3 tests. In one, where someNumber isn't greater than 0, unit B isn't called. In another, where someNumber is 1, unit B is called once, and in the final, someNumber is greater than 1, unit B is called more than once. Cyclomatic complexity Integration testing White box testing
