So I've been invited to talk at CppCon, I just need to think of a topic now aha

"CPP why the +'s"

ahahaha

"Atwoods Law, C++, can we make it in Javascript?"

xD keep em coming

Man, I'd had more but my lab request finally got answered lol.

@Almo Had the first class Imperative Programming today. They told us to use scanf if we ever need to read input. :P

In C or C++?

C

Ah fair enough :P

If it'd been C++ I would have told you to burn them.

I remember Almo hating scanf so I figured I'd tag him

clearly you should roll your own scanf

i'm gonna write a Assembly emulator in javascript

as in asm.js ?

schweigi.github.io/assembler-simulator

that might be completely wrong, I'd just heard of it and have no idea what it is

Why would anyone do this, lol

Atwoods law apparently

yeah, alright, haircut time... woopty woo

@Lokkij ARGH SCANF

first thing I did after learning scanf was to write a wrapper for it called Input that acted like INPUT in C64 basic.

How is 1 < i < 10 different from i > 1 && i < 10?

Man I really dislike one-line ternary statements

Sweet! Tile picking finally working

(My third question on the site :o)

wouldn't you get (1 < i) < 10?

so if i = 5, you're evaluating (true) < 10?

Ooh right

That's pretty silly

Thanks!

:)

JS13k progress! Rendering, first 2 tiles procedurally generated, tile picking and the background effect clocking in under 6k zipped

(From a total of 55k)

Windows 10 just crashed as a removed a USB. GG win10

Fancy

I've not had that happen in ages

Some threading issue -.-

Didn't even save my work

That sucks =[

Oh well :/

aaaaand corrupted my program

"Art"!

you made crayons?

Sorta

They're procedurally generated

OOH I just figured out how to make them better

(Besides adding noise, I was already working on that)

.

Image not found

Probably referrer protection

hot link issue

will fix

@Lokkij unless you're in Python :D

ok you got it

(Upload -> From web :) )

oooh right

thanks

There, slightly less crayon

lightbulbs

Yes, but on the other hand those 6 bulbs are a total of 217 bytes

In code form?

cool

@Hjorthenify Compressed, but yes, made from code :)

I should probably add some facial features actually

Hmm

@KevinvanderVelden So you're saving how much by generating it?

@Hjorthenify well, I'd have to throw some better compression on it, but plain old PNG that image is 32.9 kilobytes

Ahh very cool!

I'm now typing from Ubuntu! :D

Gimme 2 min and I'll be too :)

First time I've actually used Linux

You're in for a treat

Now with added faces!

Compression is weird. I figured I'd help by adding "abs = Math.abs;" and using abs in the rest of my code. But I noticed that when I did that for a few other Math.* functions it increased the size of the compressed file

So I removed those statements, removing one "abs = Math.abs", but adding 4 "Math." statements. The compressed zip shrunk by 4 bytes

@Lokkij if you're doing C or C++ dev, it's lovely

clang <3

(You may be able to tell that I'm going somewhat overboard with watching compression and what not, but eh that's what I do. I go overboard)

(Also I have a makefile that outputs a lovely bunch of information every 2 seconds so it's not like it takes time)

We're using gcc in college

not too shocking

@Lokkij HotS?

Still setting up Ubuntu

So, no

no worries

@KevinvanderVelden :D

See linux is bad if you can't play HotS because you're still setting it up. ;)

git argh

don't like

took two guys a bunch of cmd line stuff to figure out where my commit went that they helped me make

I like git, but it's not like I've ever used anything different

HotS doesn't run on Linux, well not without Wine anyway and even then you've got to have some luck

I've used TFS, SVN and git (think that's all of them)

git is my favourite so far :D

SVN is a nightmare

I've used Perforce, Kiln, now a teeny bit of Git and SVN.

I liked: P4 > SVN > Git == Kiln

Oh, and AlienBrain so long ago, I don't even remember it

And a little visual source safe which sucked amazingly

Oh yeah I've used Perforce too

what's Kiln like?

It's related to mercurial somehow

Found it horrible and confusing

Anyone worked with Text Mesh in Unity?

I have a bit

I'll help if i can

Its blurry for me

Character size is set to 70 and scale to 0.01

Because that's what the interwebz said

Unless I misunderstood something

you need to change the imported font size

JON TO THE RESQ

So I need to download a font?

click on the font itself, and in the inspector change the size

no, you import the font into unity

it defaults to arial.. I think that one is built in

Where is the default font located?

Anyways, unity converts the font to a bitmap

you set the size there

Ah

the bigger you set it, the larger the file, but the better the quality

But where do I find the font file?

just import one

I don't know where th4e default one is

but yeah, that is a pretty common issue -- more than likely you are just super zoomed in your scene

zoomed out i mean

your gameobjects are probably huge

Woooh! Nailed it, thanks jon :)

you may also notice a bug with the text mesh not drawing properly

you will need to programatically set the sortingOrder property

or set the rest of your scene to negative values

Or extend the editor to let you modify the sorting order

#Unity

I have no idea why the sorting order is not exposed

and it has been like that for a long time now

Yeah me neither. What do you mean my gameobjects are huge? Everything is on default settings

the width/height of your gameobjects in unity units

unity by default treats 1 pixel == 0.01 units

Ah yes

so consider if you have a 10x10 gameobject, unity thinks that is 1000x1000 pixels

I've never thought of that..

Feeling sick, bbl

When writing my pathfinder i made 1 pixel 1 unit to make creation of grids easy

"Before moving on to more specialized tools, let’s talk about reset and checkout. These commands are two of the most confusing parts of Git when you first encounter them. They do so many things, that it seems hopeless to actually understand them and employ them properly."

latest humble bundle is good

tom clancy bundle

@Hjorthenify @TheMuffinCoder So I got my class schedule today. Looks pretty good... only one bad teacher out of them all.

@Almo :D

@OMGtechy Looks like it all requires Uplay. giant nope

Also... all of my hair on one arm is pretty short now

Just burned off most of it

I was lighting a grill... Apparently someone left a burner on so there was a ton of propane already... big explosion

I have no idea how just one arm got singed

No burns at all, just the hair

Smelled aweful

dang :(

RIP arm hair

yeah

Not a huge loss.. it'll grow back eventually. I hope
