uh... I actually don't know

just give yourself some random words, write a little script for it

Well... I'm still going to assign words randomly

@TheMuffinCoder "finish learning blender" lol

lol

@TheMuffinCoder There is literally near infinite things you can learn to do in blender

And its entirely scriptable so you could continue to see new things

or make them

yeah, my artist scripts crazy shit in it

You never stop learning

While you're at it, you can finish up with C++

ehh, :/ that sounds bad

Perlin Noise cloud, from the 80s

whoa, nice

Yeah

yeah.. gonna have to generate the clouds.

i think it will look a lot nicer, plus I could adjust the coloration a lot easier

anyone ever generate clouds with noise before?

nope

Pip, hows your hacking game going?

@JohnMcDonald is it "fine by me" or "fine with me"?

Donate $3 to Wikipedia right now, and you will give one of their programmers a coffee.

both are acceptable

Both are acceptable, but I think: "Fine by me" is better

lol @AidanMueller

@Jon learning Unity slowly but surely :)

my first week with unity, was figuring out how to do EF

Lol

protip: don't use Unity's animation stuff for transforms unless you want Unity's animation system to have full control over the transform for the lifetime of the object

protip2: do it the unity way.

lol

@JohnMcDonald found that out when reading

@Jon that your images?

GUYS

@TheMuffinCoder GUY

is ie 11 actually faster than chrome/opera/ff?

errr depends

some stuff sure. other stuff no

@AttackingHobo the clouds?

naw

aww

I did a full cycle gif if anyone cares:

I was reading on microsoft website

gfycat.com/CooperativeTangibleAlbatross

@TheMuffinCoder AKA Faster in a cherry picked test suite

yep

Thats what I thought

Well thank you

@Jon I thought I was doing it the unity way, but if an animation clip uses the transform, then transitions to a different clip that doesn't use the transform, Unity will pin the transform to what it was at the end of the first clip

Didn't know about that @JohnMcDonald .. no way to apply the transform across animations?

with groups or something

I tried a few things, just gave up and now I just use the animation system for... animations

I got pretty invovled in that animation stuff in unity

for the main char, lol

@JohnMcDonald I'm not even using the unity animation editor for much any more. Blender is so much nicer to animate stuff with. The animation state system is kind of nice though

@Jon wish those were color coded kind of hard to see how it all connects

i don't have Pro

I would have made a much more spread out version

@Jon yeah, pretty neat. Do any of those clips transform?

i handled the transforms on the char class

but yeah.. some of them do..

@JohnMcDonald What you said makes sense. What did you expect to happen to the transform?

yeah, that is what i'm wondering

Well... if the clip doesn't use the transform, as in: it's not in the affected properties list on the left in the animation window; I'd expect to be able to modify the transform by script

wouldn't you be able to check the property?

you should be able to?

properties illustrated here

yeah, you can write some checks to ensure you are doing the right actions and whatnot

No, in the clips, so... in the next window? bah, I don't have unity with me

This thing

Don't know what you are asking now.

yeah, i rarely used that stuff

only to adjust some frames

lol wtf

my Windows 8 desktop window snapped to have the size of the screen

like.. half my screen was blank.. no taskbar nothing

LOL.. why the fuck would desktop mode do that?

In the clip (sort-of pictured above) window, if I have clip A that uses a sprite's transform property to move/rotate it around, then I transition from clip A to clip B, and clip B doesn't use the sprite's transform property (not visible on the left), I would expect to be able to modify the transform by script, but I can't.

also, how did I do it?

ah

well, in my opinion, stuff like that should be written in the code, not scripted in the animator

@Jon So what are all those states for? Aren't they hooked up to clips that do something like change frames?

yeah, they are hooked up to various animations

as well as in the codebehind, all kinds of stuff is going on based on the active state

In other news: Zero Robotics is awesome :)

zerorobotics.mit.edu

@Pip those things got fans?

buys new mouse ... doesnt work well with linux well... sh*t

I wish I had something better to show

jgallant.com/maus/Maus.html

I actually don't know @Jon

this is a really old build, from my first week with Unity, lol

@Jon apparently my work comp thinks unity is not installed

well unity plugin

I have unity installed and opened at the moment.

I took a step back , and did this in Unity:

jgallant.com/maus/Maus.html

if it can open for you.. it is a picross random generator

Yeah... so just because you can do it in Unity doesn't mean you should. I thought it was the unity way and was going to remove my need for a tweening library, but nope... just more headaches

it runs awesome on tablets ... need to finish it

Ohhh

I rolled out my own tween libs

F that.

@Jon hahaha

@JohnMcDonald I'm actually not using the build in animation tool that much any more. Blender is soooooooooooooo much better

the picross game is done.. just need to make levels, and menus

and it imports fine into unity

@Jon the fun part is done now you just gotta make the boring shit.

nice. I'm in 2D, and don't really want to use Blender for 3 frames

well.. i'd be willing to split 50/50

if someone wants to help with the presentation layers

@JohnMcDonald explain in detail what you are trying to do

@Jon count me in

@AttackingHobo hah, it's just fine, I'm using a simple tweening library to fix all my issues

aight

@AttackingHobo do you know what picross is?

i got the gameboard done.. just need the levels and shit.. and insta game.

Paint by Numbers, :)

@Jon Not really sure how you play lol

oooh

heh.

I see kind of

there are numbers on side

yeah click the gif

and you have to have that many blocks in each one

right

if it says 2 2

it means two in a row .. space... two in a row

the space between is what you need to figure out

Hmmm so pretty much need bw pixel art

hmmm

What if it was colored pixel art that showed it self when you solved it?

brb

yes, there are color variations too

where the numbers are colored

if 3Red/4Blue there does not need to be a space between, but there can be

so it gets trickier

the game is awesome

its why i wrote it

i'm really really good at it

there are strategies you can't even think about right now, that I know about

If anyone wants to see a bit more about the SPHERES from Zero Robotics, video here: techtv.mit.edu/videos/…

who are these guys pip?

that guy must get raped at airports..

lol

He's a bit crazy, imo

Also, not a great video, overall, but the program hasn't gotten much support

@Jon you in your IRC?

kinda

Bah. I tried using 123dapp.com/catch on android. Took like 4 hours for it to process. I tried sending it to myself but it would just open gmail inbox instead of an email with an attachment. I backed out of it, and now its completely gone.

adds @AttackingHobo to the terrorist watch list for his potluck word submissions

lol

lol

Haha.

Could you guys help me with something?

This thing has been idle for a while.

I think it needs some support.

It's not really a complicated feature, just annoying.

huh

@AidanMueller I'm with you! <3

same

@Pip I got a new PC today :D

specs?

Nothing amazing, let me find them...

Basically, my laptop had yet another problem so I complained enough for them to refund it. I went to PC World to get another laptop, but they told me I'd have to wait for them to "remaster" the laptop. So I said fucked it and bought a desktop.

pcworld.co.uk/gbuk/desktop-pc-monitors/desktop-pcs/gaming-pcs/…

Hence the new keyboard earlier.

cool

Not bad

Compared to the 750M I had previously, this should be awesome.

And of course, since it's a desktop, I can upgrade the GPU later if I want to.

Pretty sure it's better than what I'm running right now

@JohnMcDonald what you running?

btw speccy is a nice application if you cba to type it

It is probably about... twice as good as my laptop. But then again, it's a laptop :P

i5 2500k, 8GB, and a GTX 570

@Pip exactly. I had a beast of a laptop beforehand, but it was a laptop!

According to this, your processor is better: cpuboss.com/cpus/Intel-Core-i5-2500K-vs-AMD-FX-8350

8 cores clocked at 4GHz :D

Stock cooling

Tbh, I was so happy with my 570 that so long as it's at least as good as that I'm happy

cough 4.2 GHz cough

gpuboss.com/gpus/Radeon-R9-270X-vs-GeForce-GTX-570

@Pip kick

;D

lol

yeah, I was a little surprised to see octa-core, but then again, I haven't look at AMD in a while

Mmm, I'm used to Intel i7s

@OMGtechy yup, which is why I have a GTX 970 on preorder

:D

@JohnMcDonald jealous much

lol, this was days ago, and it's still not here, ;(

that's one hell of an upgrade though

So what games are you people playing atm?

@OMGtechy For sure

Mostly the same thing I have been. Dota with friends, LoL with other friends, (occasional) Minecraft (modded) with little bro, since he bought it for me.... Civ V (best game ever), and I think that's about it

:/ Just BF4, some Space Engineers, and whatever else blows my way

@Pip Civ 5 is epic, you hyped for Beyond Earth?

Oh, I was getting my ass handed to me by the AI in Planetary Annihilation

Aww yeah!

@JohnMcDonald not played SE. What's it like? And PA is epic :D

PA... Prison Architect <3

Both of which are good

and Pennsylvania

true dat

Anyhow, bbiab

gotta take care of dogs

New update for Prison Arch now

cya

SE is a lot of fun. Think Minecraft... in Space, but with more ramping up. You need some minerals to make X, so that you can build a small mining ship so that you can collect even more minerals, so that you can build Z so that you can... etc.

The only down side right now is that it's in Beta/Alpha, so it's buggy and in a constant state of flux

The devs also like to release updates on Thursday night, and they frequently contain breaking bugs, and they've left themselves a whole ONE day to fix those bugs before the weekend

Dumb decision to release patches on Thursday imo

Sounds like something I might look into later on then, once it's more stable

yeah, it's pretty awesome as is, but it can't hurt to wait

I've sunk just over 100 hours so far, :D pretty addicting

Nice

I haven't played Minecraft in a long long time

Your R9 270X will perform quite nicely in modern games: tomshardware.com/charts/2014-vga-charts/…

(keep in mind this is Ultra graphics)

I got a 270X too

Somewhere in the 45fps range in BF4 Ultra 1080p

More than I get, I can tell you that!

;(

ugh in the unplayable range

hah

lol I'm super picky, 60fps is like a minimum to me

Then just go down to High

yeah... then you'd have replaced my card a long time ago, :/

If I see the same frame twice, I call "choppies"

buuuut...

The most demanding game I play is Counter-Strike: Source lol

I like 60 fps, although in some games you can't actually see it for some reason

So long as I'm not aware of a frame rate drop, it doesn't matter :P

I can't play those games haha

At 1080p, you can lower AA a hell of a lot too

I hate almost everything on CryEngine because of how shitty the input handling feels

It feels like I'm trying to swim in fucking silicone

just looking side to side

@JohnMcDonald 45fps on ultra is far better than I expected :D

:D

@MickLH well...if you think about it...you kinda are xD

I get like 25-45 on low, ;(

so many feels!

@JohnMcDonald I feel your pain.

My 750m had the same problem, to a higher degree.

Meh. It feels fine... I donno. Ask me again in a few days

refreshes store page

The 570 was an epic GPU, but it's really showing its age now sadly. It'll always have a place in my heart though <3

@JohnMcDonald when's it coming out?

No idea. It's technically already "out", but just not here yet. I suspect it's on a truck somewhere

Well... because I didn't order it online

Oh.

I preordered it from my local store (for cheaper than I can get it online + shipping)

dammit I went and made a new image and everything

Plus! The online stores are waiting for the same shipment that my local store is

heh

true that

I'm going to post it anyway

I got more work dropped on my plate at the last minute today, so I really need to focus and get productive

Does anyone want to build an emulator or something?

Or some kind of tool that rips content from something and injects it into something else?

@MickLH one day maybe, but not now

I'm sorta doing that right now. "Ripping" content from BGG's XML API, and "injecting" it in an HTML page for phone consumption

Steam now does music?

Apparently

they have been branching out quite a lot recently
