Flow (stylized as flOw) is an independent video game created by Jenova Chen and Nicholas Clark. Originally released as a free Flash game in 2006 to accompany Chen's master's thesis, it was reworked into a 2007 PlayStation 3 game by his development studio, Thatgamecompany. SuperVillain Studios developed a PlayStation Portable version of the game in 2008, and PlayStation 4 and PlayStation Vita versions in 2013. In Flow, the player navigates a series of two-dimensional (2D) planes with an aquatic microorganism that evolves by consuming other microorganisms. The game's design is based on Chen's research into dynamic difficulty adjustment at the University of Southern California's Interactive Media Division, and on psychologist Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi's theoretical concept of mental immersion or flow.
The Flash version of Flow received 100,000 downloads within its first two weeks of release, and had been played over 3.5 million times by 2008. Its PlayStation 3 re-release was the most downloaded game on the PlayStation Network in 2007 and won the Best Downloadable Game award at the 2008 Game Developers Choice Awards. It was nominated for awards by the Academy of Interactive Arts & Sciences and the British Academy of Film and Television Arts (BAFTA). Reviewers praised Flow's visual and audio appeal, but noted the simplicity of its gameplay; several considered it to be more of an art piece than a game.
Renewing 17yr old Gloworm combi boiler, running dom h/w and 15 rads, 40% are doubles. Water flow from stop valve has been measured as 6L p/m, is that enough to run system effectively?
two storey house with vented system and baxi boiler. Have had the BAXI engineers to fix a slight leak on boiler but when they tried to fill the boiler there was no flow . They think that the cold water feed is perhaps blocked with sludge although this enters the 22mm return flow just after the...
I have a water pipe (unpumped) from a stream in to my shed that houses a water tank. I require a continuous flow of water along pipe A in the photo. At the tee junction water can also be fed in to the tank, pipe B.
I want Pipe A to run continuously (it heads straight in to another stream) but...

Hi,
Just checking I'm not talking rot.
Today I visited a house with a Baxi 228 combi boiler. The technical spec for the DHW output is shown in the image. Boiler was installed 27 months ago.
Baxi is claiming 13.3 litres @ DT 30.
I set the boiler DHW temperature to a high setting. I was...
Hi, I’m installing a down pipe which goes from the house to a waste water treatment tank. The length of the route is 55 meters and the pipe diameter is 125mm (which collects black water from 5 toilets, grey waters are on a separate pipe). For about 35 meters the pipe has a good inclination of...
Hello,
I'm a fairly adept DIYer but I have an issue with my plumbing and not entirely sure what's left to check.
I have an unvented indirect system with 1 hot / 1 heating zone, cylinder is a Range Tribune HE 150L pre-plumbed.
For quite a while now I've had a problem where after the hot water...
Hi all.
Recently had a new combi installed (Glow-worm Energy 30kw) in a new location (moved from upstairs to down). The flow and returns now leave the boiler in 22mm (for approx 1m), then drop to 15mm to feed the first two upstairs radiators, which are closest to the new location. This then...
Hi
I have a Dudley vantage dual flush pneumatic Niagara flush valve system.
The cistern is not refilling after a flush. The system has never been good - refilling very very slowly but now not even doing this.
I can turn on /off the cold water tap on the bath which is situated next to the cistern...
Hansgrohe showerselect shower (push button on/off + temperature) fed from mains/combi. Flow rate dropped. Removed shower head which is fine (tested on another shower). Good pressure and flow rate from hose without shower head. Restricted flow through hose by placing thumb over end - flow...
This is probably a basic one, but just wanted to check. Hot water flow to all taps has gradually been getting slower over time and the thermostatic shower now needs to be turned up hotter to get a reasonable shower temperature. Its a vented cylinder heated by an oil boiler and the cylinder stat...
Hello all,
I’m looking for some advice on my Vaillant boiler, which is controlled by my Hive thermostat. I have set the radiator flow temperature to 75 degrees on the boiler control panel, but the actual temperature never gets hotter than 50. I have done some checks, and believe I have found...
Hi,
I have bought a house that has Uponoor water underfloor heating. It was running ok but the recent cold snap has resulted in me being unable to get my rooms warm enough despite the boiler churning through plenty of gas.
A little googling and poking around with a torch reveals that there may...

Hi new to the forum here and after some advise please. I have done a garage extension and need heating in the room. I am in a town house with no Rads on the ground floor. (Underfloor heating).
My boiler (not combi) is downstairs, but megaflow tank is upstairs along with rads upstairs. I have...
I'm trying to get to grips with a system I have inherited as a new home owner. I know that single pipe systems are crap and should be replaced, but that's not an option right now so I have to make sure what I do have is set up correctly.
My bills are astronomical - £6-700 a month right now, and...
Had glowworm do some warranty work on it a few months ago. Wondered if he has locked it ? Would be great to check the water and rad flow temps. Couldn't find anything in the manual. Would anyone be able help please ? Tia
Hi
I have a Potterton Heatmax Combi 28 HE that was installed in 2014.
Over the past year or so it has slowly had more trouble heating distant radiators.
It was serviced in February 2022 and given a clean bill of health, however since then it now only heats the two nearest radiators and at a...
