@Ali.S Theres plenty of programming to be done. It's more rapid content creation oriented by allowing you to very easily create objects and their functionality that would have otherwise required a whole lot boilerplate code

Java.net.url

lol I'm not a Java API expert either

I know more about the Java VM's internals than I know about Java itself

my look at is jacked

faux 3d

seems pretty gangster

    try
    {
        URL destination = new URL(url[0]);
        BufferedReader input = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(destination.openStream()));
        System.out.println(":::::::::::::::::::-----------------------------" + input.read());
    }
    catch (IOException e)
    {
        e.printStackTrace();
    }

no

I've got this now

@MickLH Outputs "104"

Lol I'm nothing but a layer over the manual until you get back to the PHP or Pure Conceptual stuff

Lol but why 104

lol god only knows just sacrafice Grey to the Java gods

grabs leash

GREY COME ERE

They will savor his C# tainted blood purely in vengeance of microsoft

Man gods are such fucking assholes, as if we don't already have enough violence down here, they are threatening us with violence if we don't do more violence

MICK

IT WORKED

schewwwwwwwwwweeeet!

AWW YEHH

add a PHP error in there and see what happens

Will do

so that when you make a real PHP error later, you wont spend an hour figuring out wtf is wrong with the android app :P

k, new script

<?php
	$o["wow"] = "hello";
	echo $o[$_GET["giveme"]]; grey sucks
?>

Gross

koo at least it doesn't throw an exception in android

hello folks

Although I think it's still possible that you might need to catch some exception if the server threw an HTTP 500

oh god he's back

sup @OMGtechy

So, Mick, do you know why Apache's libs were deprecated?

Nope lol I just found out they were last time I used internet in an android app

How'd you find out?

Hopefully they are just trying to clean up

I read manuals and tech documents a lot :P

Some quick googling tells me it's buggy on old versions of android

Also apparently HttpURLConnection gives you compression and internet cache for free

What's the current discussion about then?

Everyone's just coding like usual

@hasherr a no

        oldrot = self.gameObject.transform:GetEulerAngles()
         self.gameObject.transform:LookAt(player.transform:GetPosition())
        rot = self.gameObject.transform:GetEulerAngles()
        rot.z = 0
        rot.x = 0

        if(direction.x > 0) then
        rot.y = rot.y + 180
        else
        rot.y = rot.y - 180
        end


        --self.gameObject.transform:SetEulerAngles(Vector3:New(0,rot.y + 180,0))


        self.gameObject.transform:SetEulerAngles(Vector3.Lerp(oldrot,rot,t))

i tri lock x axis

it r not work.

err... lock every other axis except rot.y and make the enemy orientation face the player.

SetEulerAngles(0, Atan2(a.x - b.x, a.z - b.z), 0)

Check if your Atan2 has x or y first

And my brain wont tell me if a is you and b is the enemy, or the other way around

x or y first

hrmmm

x is first y second

cool

I think that's the right way

I think it should just be atan(x), with an optional 2nd parameter but oh well

What's the point of this:

assert(position==position);
assert(momentum==momentum);
assert(orientation==orientation);
assert(angularMomentum==angularMomentum);

equality tests

check for NaN

true and false

@Grey but why?

wat @mick

@MickLH Ah

NaN != NaN

You're testing if a variable is equal to itself?

Makes sense.

e_d

fuckingYESSSSSSS

I'm going entirely off what @William'MindWorX'Mariager posted here

the bounds are so sexy

the blue and green are instant to calculate, they are x-1 and 1-1/x respectively, and provide a pretty tight guarantee

then the red and orange are simple infinite series which can get arbitrarily close on either side :D

it fucking works bro I'm so pleased

Hi again @Grey

Wonder why Pip isn't here right now

@MickLH This is what I've got now:

 rot.y = math.atan2(playerPosition.x - thisPosition.x, playerPosition.z - thisPosition.z)


       --self.gameObject.transform:SetEulerAngles(Vector3.Lerp(oldrot,rot,t))
       self.gameObject.transform:SetEulerAngles(rot)

Me hope work

but very still

oh another thing, you are aware of the pitfalls of lerping between euler angles right?

nope

There is a pitfall?

OH NO

Well in your case you're mostly safe, except one of them

Which is that if you are facing 0 degrees now, and you lerp to 359 degrees

oh no i'm not lerping anymore it's commented out "--"

instead of turning 1 degree... you'll turn the other way 359 degrees

I saw I just wanted to let you know

okay maybe this isn't the right way to go about it.

Well you know the whole thing about "right" ways :P

@Grey u gon get eated boi

All right ways come from me

That's the thing about right ways, I don't have time to invent the right way for everyone lol

just kiddinggggg the "right" way is to slerp quaternions

@MickLH the grey way

and craft studio is pretty "eh" on quite a few levels

you can't do

self.gameObject.transform:GetPosition().x

why would you be able to do that lol

you have to store the entire Vec3 that it returns in a variable which sucks.

@MickLH You tell me.

They have explicit setters and getters so I'd assume direct member access is "hacky"

They almost for sure set some kind of "dirty" flag when you call SetPosition

And whatever work that dirty flag controls, probably completely overwhelms whatever time it takes to copy a Vec3

Maybe Lua allows this, or maybe it's developer caused.

I don't know but I wont' fret about it. CraftStudio has no "undo"

Well if it's Lua then I'd blame the developer

and he's in "beta"

they should have used metatables to implement implicit setters

screw lerping

cant get rot to work so moving rite along

anyone daring to ludem at the moment?

i am ludem daring

Yo

Hello!

hey hey

It's a party!

cracks a beer

oh man lol

tosses a beer to rolfl

ah legal drinking age :)

How is the work going, Grey?

There are monkeys in like mexico or the Caribbeans or something, and they steal people drinks and drink until the pass out hahah

heard about them. Sounds like a very amusing place to live.

@GnomeSlice thanks for the link :)

its the only way they can sleep now

im' on beer 6

super nice out

drank em pretty fast.. feel light headed

This will happen when you do that

i require entertainment

technical difficulties

Tell Stevie I said HI!

looks like a popup

Trials Fusion is really fun

liar.

:O

What.

dat ghost

@Jon I'll pay you when my open source project makes money.. :)

hey does anyone have experience with pygame

I am trying to draw background texture 800x600. screen.blit(backgroundImage, (0, 0))

is just too slow :(

that sounds like a reasonable question for the main site

actually...

i was going to ask about pygame.org/docs/ref/surface.html#pygame.Surface.lock

but that only helps depending on how you are using blit

@BlueBug did you load your image with convert_alpha()

that sounds very useful locking pixel data, I think I can incorporate that "lock" into my thinging if I have examples of using it.

@Serial let me try. one sec

OMG

@Serial <3 <3 <3 <3 XOXOXOXO

Hahaha

Your welcome :)

convert alpha is the magic bullet, eh?

aye. I tried just "convert" previously it didn't do much

Yeah you gotta do it with large images like that or they slow down frame rate

@Grey, that's pretty cool, it would be better if the location of the camera moved with the person's head

then it would look like looking out a window

convert_alpha just bumped my fps to max dances in great joy

hahaha

@Serial wait wait. fuck its you

you changed your name

pygame.org/docs/ref/image.html#comment_pygame_image_load

Im Chris

Necromonster

Remember

I will. Craved in my heart. Will remember till end of the day. Saver of my pygame project.

*I like your avatar it's cute and weird, my taste.

Thank you, it's a Github Octocat :)

Alright, now for SQL :D

no sql

- hipster

How do I SQL

No seriously

sql isn't a verb

what are you doing?

Just making a small database for a small project

Gotta download it :P

can't help you without details

Well, I'll let you guys know if I need help

I think I can handle installation and a few tutorials :D

you just asked...nevermind

^ My thoughts

More of a joke :P

@BlueBug What are you working on ?

@hasherr run a local db

or you can find a free webhost that allows you to host a small sql server there.

Gonna put it up on web service

well I can't tell you for sure, because no details, but a full-on sql database is probably wrong for a "small project"

Well, this test project is to test a bunch of stuff for a much bigger project

Which will require a full on database

are you testing the data storage? if not, it might still not require a db

No, but it's going to be a large db

mock data storage is a testing standard

A metric shit-ton of text and a ton of images as well

well then, might as well get that db installed

It's for my school

And they're providing us with all the data

hm

as in, it's an assignment?

If it's not relational data, there's no need

^- truth

@SethBattin Nope, I was 'hired' by the school to make it

'Hired' as in, they want me to make it for free

@VaughanHilts It's definitely relational :P

that stuff is fine, school stuff translates to job experience before having a job

shoudl at least get some kind of study credit for it, though

I'm getting an A in the class for it, yeah

maybe that's not a thing because it doesn't help on standardized tests. No child left behind! (or moved forward!)

THE MOST BEAUTIFUL-EST GUI EVAR:

Because of this, the teacher isn't giving any of the people I'm working with grades, and in exchange for the app we'll get A's for the sem

sounds like a deal to me

Is it a good idea to use buffers in a side scroller?

maybe

@SethBattin It's a great deal, imo.

The only problem is that one of the kids in my group never works

congrats, you're getting education about professional software development

Might have to have a talk to him on Monday

the formal PM way to deal with that is to put the responsibilities and schedules in writing

then when he comes up empty, you point at it and say "what's your excuse?"

Ha, that's actually exactly what we did. We have time tables now, so you have to sign in/out when you work

And we have a big plan

@SethBattin I basically have multiple arrays full of 0s and 1s telling where a path is... Then in the GUI I add sprites where the path is and am continuously scrolling up. When one sprite goes out of my field of view, I pull the next row from the next buffer and display those sprites... I am just wondering if it is a good approach as the implementation is not going so hot right now:P

@OutlawLemur what data structure are you using?

oh, multiple arrays...

why multiple?

how big are they?

I have multiple multiple-dimension arrays

what language?

Inception Bwa

@Seth only like 5x20 max

C#

mmm

Alright MySQL installed!

PC?

Shit, just started Eclipse. Fuu

actually, no matter there

@Seth just testing... targeted for android/mobile... I am using unity just to cross compile

it doesn't sounds liek you're running into a performance wall, right?

ah

well, it seems fine to me, like there's nothing obviouly wrong with the idea

if it's too tough to implement, that's a good enough reason to try something else

Well... The arrays are created perfectly... I have them fully tested in a console, it is just continuously displaying the data I am having troubles with.

So the MySQL workbench just opened up

Any chance you could use the full Seth Battin? I'm getting pings..

The algorithm is not complex, so it shouldn't be difficult but it is lol... I also can't think of any other solutions outside of buffers

I thought I was

@Seth Hahaha

@Seth Oh my bad

Thanks ;)

No problem... First time thats ever happened for me haha

3 or 4 days from now it should stop pinging me too.

how so?

Pings only work if I've visited this room in the last 3 or 4 days iirc.

I can't remember if that's a per room basis or just chat though..

Guess we might find out :)

chat is so strange

weirdest part of SE

Haha... I got pinged a few months after I had last visited a chat one time

@SethBattin Indeed. It isn't being too actively developed anymore, so that's probably why it's a bit different than the rest of SE.

@OutlawLemur well, what you're doing is just progressing along the array, right? You could just store your current position and read into it only as far as you need. It doesn't really quire buffering, from what you've described

@SethB Hmmm... Sort of like shifting the entire array down after a block disappears, and generating only the next highest line?

Then have only one array?

yeah, i think so

you don't have very much data, jsut read it every frame

hi everyone, does anyone know javascript?

some people do, yes :)

would you why this doesnt work

I've heard of that language

i have

@SethB Ill try that... thanks:)

What is the error?

and monsterHealth[rInt1] is -240

but it the code inside the block doesnt run

no I meant the value

what is rInt1?

string, number?

rInt1 is 1

and that value is valid

but, "1" or 1?

Try 0

1

Javascript uses zero indexes

yes i know that

but it doesnt matter the index

where are you doing your testing?

I have the array filled

monsterHealth = [100, 100, 100, 100];

monsterHealth is suppose to go above

does the monsterHealth[rInt1] -= 5; line run?

Is that all in a while loop?

thats a for loop

@SethBattin what do you mean?

I know... It will execute once for each index, and then no more

you initially told us that that code block doesn't run, so i'm asking if anything outside the code block runs

If it is in another loop or update then it will execute again

the block doesnt, the monsterHealth[rInt1] < 1 comes out false even if it is negative

ah

this code is part of a keylistener and is called everytime a key is pressed

so after time the values go down from 100 to 0 and negative

so again, where are you testing?

so I put the if statement to "Kill" the monster

do you have a js console in it?

but the if statement doesnt work

no, i mean a place you can type and execute javascript

I forgot about that, thanks!

I'll go to codecamdy
