Game Development

@SethBattin Yeah. It is. A while back, I wanted to add sharing of scores through FB and whatever

Umm, I've only used an AdMob plugin for this, so I can't say

Seth Battin

well good luck with it

:) thanks. I'll let you know how it goes

Unlike geometrical things, the topological things (let's say, graphs) don't "display themselves". Additional preparation is required for displaying the graphs. Display geometry needs to be created in order to be able to display the graph. The display geometry, however, is a part of presentation, but not a part of the domain. To make it work, there are NodePresenter and Edgepresenter objects in the view for every Node and Edge in the domain model.

There should already be a pattern for this. Perhaps even a book full of them. Gut feeling.

@JohnMcDonald My brother just tried web stack Skippy Fish on his Firefox OS ZTE Open C($50 phone). It runs great and the marketplace is short on quality games so you could grab a big audience.

Whao

I had no idea those phones existed

It's also really hard to test against something you don't own, :/

@JohnMcDonald Runs perfectly fine except when you turn to landscape orientation. You can use adsense instead of admob.

$50 phone... kinda low barrier to entry but understandable if you don't want to pursue

There is a Firefox OS simulator as well

Well... it's worth looking into. From my experience with the android emulator, they perform ~~pretty~~ very poorly

this video makes it look incredibly easy:

simulator isn't necessary because whatever runs in the browser will work on Firefox OS. I was just suggesting that to make sure both orientations look right just in case Firefox doesn't have the orientation API built in

Right

@Almo done

you guys won?

yeah. they had an afk and I was lagging like hell so it wasn't that much fun.

not sure if I want to play again with that lag

you did awesome there near the end getting the kill on rammus after he got lee

that was pure desperation right there o.o

hahaha

So, I figure there's no harm is submitting the app to a few online reviewers. How does this sound:
Skippy Fish is an adorable one-button game that I just released for Android.

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.jcpmcdonald.skippyfish

You play Skipper, a fish, who is being chased by a shark. To escape, Skipper jumps out of the water where the shark can't eat him and attempts to stay there for as long he can. As Skipper approaches the surface of the water, you need to tap the screen to skip. If your timing is too early or too late, you will lose momentum; so you must tap at t…

Maybe a bit about yourself(the developer) and how it was conceived in a game jam

2:00 AM

heh, I should probably read a few reviews to see what sort of stuff they put in there.

Well... other reviews from this website (android central) don't really have that info, but I guess it can't hurt to put something at the bottom

bah, I should not have had that afternoon coffee

coffee + release = overload

question: how to make a fog in 3d, like the one in this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9nAP08DLGkg?

Do I need to create billboarding or put a 2D texture in a 3D face or something and move it?

@DwarfSlice I'm creating a simple game while I still learn, and I polish it as I can, because I don't know much yet. Is it bad? :cP

and now I just need to make some interaction with the water and some fog... Then I need to make map generation...

Icy Defiance

@ArthurGibraltar quads floating around is a common way to do fog, but it usually looks like crap. volumetric fog, like in that video, is a whole lot more complicated. it looks like it only works with a certain lighting model, too. that's all I'm getting from google without putting too much effort in.

3:52 AM

@ArthurGibraltar if you did that with particles, yes, but the video shows volumetric fog which is rendered somewhat like this: gamasutra.com/view/feature/131442/…

Arthur Gibraltar

@IcyDefiance thanks. Yes, it's very complicated indeed. I found this link: xnauk-randomchaosblogarchive.blogspot.co.uk/2012/07/…. But I'm still trying to understand it before start a new code as I can't copy any part.

@Lasse this is PERFECT. Thanks, the link you sent is much easier to comprehend. But I still need to find a way to code all that... I'll start with a class called FogManager.. :c)

what's the font? comic sans or sans comic?

I think so

also, I don't know how, but she set up a Google Forms page for us to do some self-evaluation, and here she has a set of radio buttons, and a note: "Tick only one box" :D

Who Framed Roger Rabbit

Who Framed Roger Rabbit is a 1988 American animated/live action fantasy comedy film directed by Robert Zemeckis. The screenplay by Jeffrey Price and Peter S. Seaman is based on Gary K. Wolf's 1981 novel Who Censored Roger Rabbit?, which depicts a world in which cartoon characters interact directly with human beings and animals. Who Framed Roger Rabbit stars Bob Hoskins as private detective Eddie Valiant, who investigates a murder involving the famous cartoon character, Roger Rabbit. The film co-stars Charles Fleischer as the eponymous character's voice; Christopher Lloyd as Judge Doom, the villain...

could be a reference to that

user92578

1:06 PM

and totally is

user92578

but like really, why does it ALWAYS have to be a reference

that should make it more fun to learn as well as learn more

unless, of course, that is the same reference every time

I wonder if an algorithm will ever get named after me

everything seems to be invented already

that would look cool in CV. "An algorithm is named after me."

I guess I could type in "An algorithm hasn't been named after me, yet."

bornander

@Lasse That would look less cool though :)

yeah

but I think it would show something about my enthusiasm towards what I do

would it?

:O

bornander

@Lasse It would show your enthusiasm for putting stuff on your CV.

user92578

how do I center a set of elements inside a div?

1:43 PM

what kind of elements?

user92578

well just paragraphs for now but they will be links later

you could try margin: auto; if the element you want to center inside another is not as wide as the parent

user92578

for my nav bar

user92578

they are just in the nav container div, so that wont work

if you just want to center text, you should use text-align: center;

user92578

1:44 PM

I guess I could create a div for them

user92578

Hmm, still not centering:

user92578

<nav id="navbar"><a href="#">link</a></nav>
#navbar { width: 100%; text-align: center; }
#navbar a { display: inline-block; padding: 10px; }

would that work?

nav is html5 element if you're wondering

if you're not using html5, just use div instead

user92578

nope :(

A: Kill or copy current line with minimal keystrokes

@JoshPetrie so are people circumventing the vi site problem by adding answers to the emacs site for a vi emulator?

1

This is not an answer for orthodox emacs. If, however, you're willing to blaspheme with evil's modal editing, you can: dd for kill line cc for copy line Both can be prefixed by the number of lines to kill/copy (eg, 4cc will copy the next 4 lines).

Really surprises me that it happened.
