@Lasse how do i revert the origin in git?

huh?

you mean master?

or do you want to revert what's on the remote repo?

I wanna revert the remote master to an previous commit id

20

Q: reseting remote to a certain commit

I want to discard all changes done after commit <commit-hash> . So I did: git reset --hard <commit-hash> Now I want to do the same with my remote. How can I do this? I have done some commits (and pushes) after <commit-hash> and I just want to discard them all. Is just something went terribly w...

@VaughanHilts you owe me 5$ in consultation fees

@Lasse thank you lasse

that even deleted my previous commits

:D

10:12 AM

isn't that what you wanted?

yes it is

I'm glad my previous commits is deleted

now i got that out of the system

WTF

Vector3 currmin = new Vector3 (x * blockSize, y * blockSize, z * blockSize);

x, y and z goes from 0 to 1

blocksize is 16

0 x 16 = 1

I get 12, 22 and 0 with 0,0,0 x,y,z

eh?

I would suggest you are missing something :)

10:18 AM

what can I possibly be missing? I'm checking those values in debug mode and the x,y,z are what I said, and blocksize is 16, and the currmin is 12,22,0

which is impossible...

exactly

I have also this:
Vector3 currmax = new Vector3 (blockSize * (x + 1), blockSize * (y + 1), blockSize * (z + 1));

that's 17.25, 22, 16

what is x, y, z, data types?

Hello @Grey

integers

10:20 AM

hey

is blocksize a byte or something?

Its a long time since you last visited the chat

it's integer

reboot :)

your computer is drunk

LD29

Still up and jamming

10:21 AM

x,y and z are integers too

bad picture

...

and the debugger tells me that x * blocksize is currently 0

but the currmin still gets 12 as x

what is that @Grey kermit's balls?

wtfismycomputerdoing

10:22 AM

@Lasse that is really odd.

@Jon this one is better

user image

I THINK

I don't know what I'm looking at :)

two blobs and two ghosts?

haha

I agree with Jon

They are skeletons but I just capped a screen at the wrong moment. Coding AI right now

10:26 AM

What about learning pygame

You guys see this wip?

user image

:OOO

its called 21 bytes

love the art style

how much time you got left @Grey

hehe cool

novaplay.me/21-bytes

user image

i think they're French

"beat them all" for "beat 'em up", and "feedbacks"

I see these errors a lot in the industry here in quebec

10:37 AM

lol

21 bytes?

they are french

also, this is made in unity

21 Bytes is a reference to Duncan MacDougall and his attempt to measure the mass of the soul. He measured that when a person die, they lose 21 grams, that would be for him the mass of a soul.

demo here: dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/48533325/21Bytes_FightingPrototype/…

Ah from the looks of it i thought that was thr maximum allowed data for the level to take :P

I restarted monodevelop and now it's making sense again

Ohhhh

You should of said Monodevelop.

10:46 AM

WARNING [2014-04-26 02:37:39Z]: Debugger could not find file '/build/mono/src/mono-3.2.8/mcs/class/corlib/System/Math.cs'

MonoDevelop likes to do crazy things randomly

I wonder if that's the problem

also why is it trying to look for 3.2.8

I've got 3.4.0 installed

huh, apparantly not

Did u fix that nulref?

no

:/

10:49 AM

archlinux.org/packages/?name=mono

huh

well, I guess 3.4.0 isn't stable enough then

codebabes.com

well, they have been flagged out of date

I wonder if they are there just for the looks or if they actually can code

if they can actually code... give me a break

their posture is too good

No strip for you! You got something wrong :(

lol

Ok, so basicaly if you pass the tests, they take off their clothes

the further you get in the lessons, the less clothing they wear

lol

What is the correct opening tag for PHP?

<PHP YOLO!

giggles

10:56 AM

What is a valid integer? one, 69, 3.14

We should make one for the ladies... if they pass the tests, we put our clothes back on

yeah

wtf I can't get past the first page of php questions

yeah, it says you have to sign up

oh

but it says I answered something wrong

where i stopped

nice novelty

Oh... Yeah... the first test for programming said I was wrong but I wasn't

I think you may have to be logged in for it to work properly

doesn't work :(

11:01 AM

dear lord.

site crashed on me a few times... probably not funcitoning 100% yet

I'm sure I'm right when I answerred "mark zuckerberg is bad ass" as false

plot twist... the site is sponsored by him

lol

Oh my god

Makes sense to me...

bwahahah

@Lasse btw I got the transaction yesterday. It was loaded with 0.0001009 BTC

which is equal to 0.05 $

user92578

11:31 AM

Hey!

something satisfying about setting Time.timeScale = 2, everything's twice as fast, gravity is twice as heavy lol

hello~

Hello Typpi

user92578

Typpi means nitrogen in finnish

user92578

Tyyppi means "guy"

you should make a game called TimerFuckers

where you alter the timescale randomly while people play

11:32 AM

haha

user image

@Jon I made that in a jam

it just didn't work out well

heh

fffff everything's so slow in normal time now ;_;
I'll hafta make double time as a fun feature (though it's a fun console command for now)

here: meta.gamedev.stackexchange.com/questions/1449/…

some of the best features are accidents

11:36 AM

definitely

bugs or just trying something silly

@Jon Hmm you know, I could make a special event room in my game that alters the timescale up and down. that sounds awesome. thank you <3

user92578

My collision stops working when the window is maximized (the resolution doesn't change)

:(

5$ consultation fee @Chris

downloading it now @Lasse

lol

@Jon I'll gift you a copy of my game

11:44 AM

don't be disappointed :D

sounds fair

crashed

what's the output in console, if you don't mind checking that?

worked on my other pc

how much time was spent on it?

the glitch only lasts a second?

I don't remember, I built the engine from scratch, so I guess 10 hours or 15 maybe

"Attempted to read or write protected memory"

Winblows 8

works on 7

11:47 AM

lol

huh wierd

winblows 8

:P

Win8 doesn't like my 5-year-old PC, so I don't like Win8 either

the windblows 8 os

just another Vista

next version will be better for sure -_-

11:47 AM

At least its not a ME

looool

ah man

windows CEMENT

lol

Windows - tinted edition

now that is a product i'd buy

Afternoon peeps

11:50 AM

Afternoon

Hello Blue

Mah man Blue!

How are we doing today?

Goood

11:50 AM

Hey @Jon

That picture confuses and intrigues me all at once.

reference.

ah, haha.

I was disappointed it wasn't a reference to the picture tbh

user92578

WHY THE IN THE WORLD DOES THE COLLISION SYSTEM BREAK

the clip for the pic is nsfw

BECAUSE PHYSICS

11:53 AM

Poor @Tyyppi_77

user92578

There's no reason for it to break

@Jon reversed image searched it, found a clip with more insight into it, hahaha

;)

If interested... its the jelly wrestling scene from old school

hehe

I have invented Suicide Linux. Any time - any time - you type any remotely incorrect command, the interpreter creatively resolves it into rm -rf / and wipes your hard drive.

qntm.org/suicide

lol

user92578

IT DOESN'T MAKE SENSE

:(

I think justin bieber linux is better

user92578

11:58 AM

"I'm your collisionsystem. I'll break randomly when you maximize your window. Oh, you can't see anything if you don't maximize? Too bad."

Here's another good one

user image

2

@Tyyppi_77 debug it and make it work, it doesn't help to yell about it here if you are not going to reveal any code

@Jon lol

user92578

Acutally it does

user92578

makes me feel less alone

11:59 AM

Create a blog post

user92578

lol

helps me when things aren't working, seriously

sounds like you got a maximize bug

Or like @Lasse said, post some code.

user92578

    def checkCollision(self, deltaX, deltaY):
        """
        Checks for collision.
        """
        newPosition = self.transform.getPosition() + (deltaX, deltaY)
        # Sets the new position to the X-axis
        self.transform.setPosition(newPosition)
        # Checks for collision
        for entity in self.level.getEntities():
            if not entity == self:
                # First checks if the rectangles collide. This means that there is
                # a possible collision.

user92578

12:02 PM

That's probably it

user92578

Then I call that twice, once with (dx, 0) and once with (0, dy)

self.transform.setPosition(Vec2.Vec2(rect.topleft))

wut?

set position / set rectangle based on position / set positino based on rectangle

why u do this?

user92578

the rect is the "hitbox" of the entity. the attributes of the rectangle are set according to where the entity hit's the wall it collides with.

yah, so you are losing all your flaoting point precision

user92578

so if the entity collides with a wall from coming from top, the bottom coordinate of the entity is set to the top attribute of the wall

12:05 PM

@Tyyppi_77 are you handling the resize correctly? You need to at least specify the viewport again, if your library isn't doing that for you

user92578

PyGame does that for me

user92578

atleast I think it does

pygame.org/wiki/WindowResizing

does it?

If the display is set with the pygame.RESIZABLE flag, pygame.VIDEORESIZE events will be sent when the user adjusts the window dimensions.

user92578

I'll implement the resizing and see if it fixes it

user92578

To be honest, I do not believe it has to do with the size, since even just moving the window breaks it

user92578

12:12 PM

the player entity just stops showing

user92578

IT's BECAUSE THE DELTA TIME

user92578

maybe

user92578

but suddenly the player's y position changes to over 2000

user92578

abd it just keeps going

user92578

yeah, definetely deltatime

12:15 PM

is the entity moving when you move the window?

user92578

no, but the gravity is applied always

okay

user92578

so if I hold the window for 3 seconds, the delta time will be 3000/1000 = 3

makes sense

user92578

so every value will be moved by GRAVITY * 3

user92578

12:16 PM

= 300

user92578

and if the deltaY is so big that it doesn't hit any objects in the new locaiton, the collisision is not found

user92578

it basicaly jumps over it

user92578

now, how do I fix it?

ignore time changes when moving window

set the delta to zero when that happens

what about random lag.

12:24 PM

What's with Amplitude Studios (the guys who made Endless Space) that they manage to create such a satisfying UI?

I haven't encountered a UI yet that was more enjoyable to use

some people got it...

user92578

I'll set the window to fullscreen mode, since I can't detect when the window is moved

user92578

nor I can know when the resizing stops

user92578

windowFlag = WindowFlags.WindowFullscreen

user92578

fixed

user92578

12:26 PM

but, the collision needs to be fixed still

user92578

I wonder how I should do that

user92578

raytracing or something

user92578

cast ray from start position to the wanted position -> if it hits anything, stop where it hits

is pygame really that bad that it doesn't tell you when window is moved/resized/deactivated/activated/minimized/maximized?

I'm thinking scrapping my current ray-octree test code and start over

user92578

Yeah, it does that for me and doesn't allow me to acces those... there's also not really any documentation about it

1:10 PM

hi

hi

I have a problem

I'm using libgdx

I got a code that work with android but doesn't on desktop

:

HttpGet httpGet = new HttpGet(url);
HttpClient httpclient = HttpClientBuilder.create().build();
HttpResponse response = httpclient.execute(httpGet);
jsonString = EntityUtils.toString(response.getEntity());

what does it do on desktop

I get nothing

there is no error, but it does nothing

it's exactly the same code

have you checked what the response object contains by debugging

or whatever the getEntity returns

are you sure the server is not responding with empty string

or something

user92578

1:20 PM

user image

colorful

user92578

yeah

user92578

just placeholder surfaces

user92578

somehow I managed to breal the collision again... I think I need a DotA2 break

1:38 PM

music, music for everyyyboooddyyyy

/

1:51 PM

They tell ME I'm wrong when I am norwegian

LOL. Crowdflower tasks is so inaccurate

the mean that a man in norwegian = én mann

that is just hilarious since the letter "é" DON'T EXIST in the norwegian alphabet

thanks lasse was feeling quite here

@Lasse no big fan of that type of music

its nice to listen to while i code

@joapet99 I am

also I don't expect everyone to be

I know

2:02 PM

should i release android and ios version of my game at the same time. or should i release whichever is finished first?

I was greatly disappointed when blizzard didn't release the ios and android versions at the same time, and I need to wait

of hearthstone

i'm no blizzard :P

I know

you probably want to get as much audience as early as possible, so just release the one which is finished first

yeah, that is what I was thinking

damn my typos

I need to pay attention to typing more

2:25 PM

i typoed to proceed to hit enter while typing youtube, ending up just typing y in the serach

this, what I get, O_o

1 hour later…

3:27 PM

:O

3:53 PM

@Lasse I would agree.

unless you're used to doing a dual release, go for which is done first, be it android or ios

that "y" video is... odd

"Pretty Lights" pretty interesting

4:08 PM

anyone wanna collab on an xna game?

Unfortunately, those users who smashed their phone would not get a new Oneplus one phone in $1. Because Oneplus set the rule of the promotion as, firstly Oneplus choose 100 customers randomly, and those customers can pay $1 to get a new phone by uploading their phone-smashing video. As a result, those unfortunate guys who smashed their phone before the promotion and not lucky enough to be chosen by the promotion have to buy new one in their own expense

William 'MindWorX' Mariager

Starting a new game Jon?

@Almo All of his music is free too! prettylightsmusic.com

not really hehe

4:24 PM

hey is anyone here a webdeveloper

I would ask this in the webmaster one but I dont have enough rep and it seems like a small question

Does anyone know if Aptana Studios is still be updated or is it dead?

@androidmaster You can access any network chat if you have the rep to access one of them.

I looked at their site it seems like it hasnt been updated since 2011

@GnomeSlice I dont have enough rep therre

Wait

what

I don't even have an account there, but I can use their chat.

Chat.se is a separate thing.

Okay thanks

You only need enough network rep to access one.

No problem!

4:27 PM

@William'MindWorX'Mariager @SpartanDonut I guess I'm going to create a game with unity in the next week :P

William 'MindWorX' Mariager

Interesting :P

as much as I hate it, it seems to be the only option

I mean if I accept the project

unity is fine.

@William'MindWorX'Mariager so did you like unity?

William 'MindWorX' Mariager

@Ali.S Only used it a little. Still having school projects and exams, so busy with other stuff. :)

4:28 PM

@Jon it's way too much designer oriented

:( all of the other chatrooms are empty or inactive

yeah, it is what it is, and it does what it does :)

I prefer lower level myself.

William 'MindWorX' Mariager

@androidmaster You shouldn't assume people are around all the time. Ask your question, and then wait a while :)

@androidmaster this is our sprite, that's keeping this room alive!

@William'MindWorX'Mariager sounds like my everyday life

William 'MindWorX' Mariager

I've been pondering if I could get myself to do some real programming this summer.

I have almost 8 weeks of vacation.

And only need to work in the weekends.

4:31 PM

awww yeeee baby

@William'MindWorX'Mariager how old were you?

William 'MindWorX' Mariager

That's some bad ass extrapolation :P

@Ali.S 26 :)

user image

AWWW YEEEE

3 years older than me...

I'll be most likely studying post grad by the time I reach your age

William 'MindWorX' Mariager

Hehe

Yeah, I didn't really feel like school. I only started two years ago.

4:33 PM

I do remember that :P

BBL going for dinner

Morning

4:50 PM

@hasherr for me it's night.. I mean I almost can stay awake any more :(
