@AlexM. a picture of me sitting on a rotating chair

actually it used to be a video clip before the transformation begun.

Alex M.

still confused :O

Gajoo

@AlexM. here is what happened.

I captured a video of myself rotating on a chair

Alex M.

oooh I think I get it now, and those are frames put together?

Gajoo

from each frame grabbed almost the middle vertical line and attached them all together to create it.

Alex M.

yeah it's clear now

it's all the power of ffmpeg + powershell + 3 hours my spare time learning required commands for those two :P

John McDonald

1:32 AM

heh, I love finding little comments I wrote to myself:

// Make the world stop
world.Paused = true;

Almo

:D

John McDonald

Completely pointless comment otherwise though

That's disappointing, google finds Glitch Mob's We Can Make The World Stop (also amazing), but I'm pretty sure I meant Dr. Horrible's Freeze Ray

Three steps forwards, one step back.

Is it bad that after programming for some time, I have a need to go back and refactor what I just wrote?

Honestly, I think this is more an issue of, "not sure what structure the code should have" when going in to it

which means step 1 is getting the code working with spit and prayers

and the second step is making it not-hell to work with.

John McDonald

:/ you're tellin' me. I've actually got fewer features now than I did a year or so ago

Raven Dreamer

Are you a hobby programmer too?

Or are you doing development on unemployed/retired/for a living?

John McDonald

hobby game programmer, professional programmer

Raven Dreamer

Oops. Left that word out. I guess I was assuming that, since I'm the same.

At least in my case, the syntax I use at work is very different than in my free time. Otherwise, I think I would go insane.

Q: What does the explicit keyword in C++ mean?

Someone posted in a comment to another question about the meaning of the explicit keyword in C++. So, what does it mean?

one of those things in C++ that you could really live without, but makes nerds happy for knowing it

William 'MindWorX' Mariager

7:37 AM

@AlexM., That's how I feel about the "extern" keyword in C#. I know exactly how it works and how to use it to my advantage.

Q: Where should I take opinion based discussions?

I happen to have lots of topics I wish to discuss with other game programmers. The problem is that these topics are completely opinion-based, and not question-answer based, and therefore not apt for this site. However, I find it a bit wasteful to go somewhere else to do this, because I actually ...

I wanted to make that picture in a way that my face be in the middle and back of my gets in the sides.

but I just forgot to make a proper video for that kinda image, and I just didn't feel like recapturing the video.

@Blue my English knowledge is just too shallow :|

what verbs did I have to use in first sentence "I wanted ..." instead of be and gets

Hi.

Q: Tag suggestion: Reverse-Engineering

William 'MindWorX' Mariager

11:04 AM

When you post in meta, it shows in the chat. :P

Also, you're right about that guy. Sounds more like he wants his own chat to his own specifications. :P

Also, Discourse looks interesting.

@Blue, I could totally see myself using it for my game if it's ready

I wonder if it parses links here...

try.discourse.org/t/small-business-sub-forums/129

Doesn't look like it. :(

I'm sure it'll come.

Blue

You can already fork it.

Run it on a VM

Gajoo

11:21 AM

@blue just note that creating a tag is much more easier.

you just ask a question and if you don't already have enough rep to create a new tag, just ask a user with higher rep to edit your question and add that tag

Blue

True, just wanted to see if it was out of the ordinary to have.

William 'MindWorX' Mariager

I think your example might result in too broad questions though.

I've seen plenty of questions closed because people want to know how something was done with comments from people about not having written the program/game.

Blue

11:43 AM

This is more for those with a game in mind and work done but stuck on a specific mechanic that they want to reverse-engineer.

Trying to shy away from the broad nature.

But most of them get tagged as too localised which is a bit BS atm

Almo

12:12 PM

upvote for the answer there.

Blue

Cheers

Almo

i also commented

Blue

I noticed ;) Nice touch

I would have put "You can lead a panda to water..."

I've used the built-in UML designer in Visual Studio to map my classes.

Alex M.

yEd is my favorite :D

it can do a lot of stuff, from simple graphs to network and UML diagrams

William 'MindWorX' Mariager

What's nice about the Visual Studio UML designer is the code updates to reflect changes you make which is pretty neat.

Alex M.

I also used the ugliest nodes in some of the diagrams I posted in the answer, yEd is a lot prettier

Blue

@AlexM. Damn straight

William 'MindWorX' Mariager

Thanks @AlexM., I'm sure yEd will be perfect to map out a techtree and the missions people can do.

no more "too broad" or "too localized" closes

Blue

Alex M.

About 15 years ago invented some algorithm that's based on animal behavior. I jokey called it the "Algorithm of the 'shitting' hamster". The name just explains the algorithm quite easily: Imagine a hamster would explore your maze and on every field on the map it moves to, it shits. And well, now it stinks there! The hamster of course doesn't like that and always moves next field it can reach that stinks the least.

bahaha, I'll present this in the AI class next year

"I have used, the algorithm of the shitting hamster!"

even if I only get 2 (by default)/10, I still pass because it's an average

it's not exactly worth it to try and study to get another 6/10, because then I'd get a 7/10 total

with 2/10 I get 6/10

Q: Copyright infringement in game title

I'm a wanna-be indie developer, and I am working on my first flash game. But, before I even start with the code, I want to know this: When determining the title of my game, how can I decide if it is copyrighted or not? For example, at first I thought about "Into the Void" for the title. When I ...

game-industry copyright trademark

I would be more preoccupied by the fact that there's a game called "The Void" out there

and not by that song thingy

Code Assassin

@AlexM. LOL. I wanted my game to be called Void :(

but I don't care. I CAN CALL IT VOID()

#innovation

Alex M.

2:44 PM

I'll call my hacking game ID:NULL or something

but Void is okay

the guys behind The Void (Ice Pick Lodge I believe) won't bother you

just stay away from the big dogs

so don't call your game Mass Effect or Dragon Age or anything

Hi, could you help me with a quick question?

I am writing a sudoku solver that needs to solve sudokus with size 9x9, 16x16 and 25x25. I'd like to have an int SudokuWidth. And then load a specific testSudoku with the specified size by using something like this:

int sudokuWidth = 9;
int[,] currentSudoku = (int[,])typeof(Algoritme).GetField("Sudoku_test_" + sudokuWidth).

But i Don't know how to do this exactly. Any thoughts?

back in 10, have to move to another room

user4704

3:00 PM

O_O

user4704

That's a gross way to accomplish that.

user4704

Try:

Alex M.

int[,] currentSudoku = (int[,])typeof(Algoritme).GetField("Sudoku_test_" + sudokuWidth)

ouch

user4704

Dictionary<int, int[,]> m_testBoards; m_testBoard.Add(9, new int[9, 9]); // etc

user4704

then: if(m_testBoards.TryGetValue(sudokuWidth, out board)) ....

user4704

3:03 PM

better yet, wrap the board in a simple class instead of a bare int[,] too

Alex M.

►

tl;dr: 17 is the minimum number of clues required to give a unique sudoku solution - but how did mathematicians prove this?

Almo

that's pretty interesting

Alex M.

yup, all of their videos are

Almo

oh boy

more fighting with xcode

all sorts of problems

user4704

Such as?

user4704

3:07 PM

There are only about four things I think you need to rename, depending.

Almo

it seems that the source files turn red because the references are group relative, not project relative

I can set project relative but it seems to have other ramifications

user4704

Probably has to do with how you added the files.

Almo

so I'm working through this

yeah

user4704

All my source is in Source/* but I have nested groups for organization in the .xcodeproj.

user4704

They don't reflect the filesystem structure; you want to make sure you don't use the "create folder reference" option and you don't have the "create groups for added items if needed" (or whatever) options set, I believe.

Almo

3:10 PM

I use create groups, but not copy

it looks like you have to pick either create groups or create folder reference

user4704

folder references are useful for reflecting the actual state of the filesystem; otherwise I would not use them.

Almo

right

user4704

(and it seems that folder reference content is not automatically included in a target, at least when you're talking about generated source code

Almo

ok

Quick Question: I am implementing Dijkstra's Algorithm in C# XNA and one of the steps are "Set Distance To Infinity". So... how should I do that. Just give it a value like 1000?

@Gajoo Legit.

Alex M.

give it the largest value that you know cannot be reached by the algorithm

Code Assassin

1000

Alex M.

e.g. if the maximum distance of a sequence is 1000, 1001 can be infinity

Code Assassin

@AlexM. Thanks man ^_^b

Alex M.

you can also define a constant that's not necessarily big (can be negative if costs are positive)

and work according to it with checks (if sth == infinity)

Gajoo

5:57 PM

@CodeAssassin also if you can't make any assumption about maximum distance, you can allocate some extra memory and store infinity check inside that extra variable.
