I've got the basic rendering part of the thumbnail generation working:

user92578

user92578

Had to add render target support to the renderer class

user4704

Cool.

user4704

Looks really nice.

user92578

Thanks!

user92578

5:00 PM

Now I need to hide the player, and make the thumbnail position changable

Alexandre Vaillancourt

Hmm, well I guess some parts are harder to follow; I know I have had situations where I could spot an error (the compilation error points in the std:: but it's because you don't use it well.. had to trace it), but some other parts I remember having been a bit harder..!

Taking a look at std::shared_ptr now... you're right, it's not that bad.. just a lot of stuff ;)

@Tyyppi_77 That looks neat.

user92578

Thanks!

Looks like a BroForce ripoff :P

user92578

:(

5:05 PM

i figured it was a compliment

user92578

well partly it is, partly not

it is inspired by broforce clearly

user92578

sometimes it worries me

user92578

yeah it is

user92578

and sometimes it makes me happy

5:06 PM

It is fully a compliment, the "partly not" is just your mind playing tricks on you.

Also this is not jon

if it's being compared to a good game, then it's good

if you aren't jon, who are you? D:

user4704

@Polarbear0106 Stop it.

someone with physical access to his puter

Sup nurdy nurdz.

user92578

5:08 PM

what's he doing?

@JoshPetrie stop what? I haven't looked at this chat for 10 minutes now

bring jon back evil spirit accessing jon's computer

Sound is on and i heard the tag

user4704

@Polarbear0106 You flagged a post that was completely not worth flagging.

wasabi burn me.

user4704

5:08 PM

Do it again and you're gone, you've been warned against flag abuse several times.

@JoshPetrie how can i do it if i don't even look at the chat?

user92578

@DarkHyudrA aight then :D

ouch

Josh is mad

@Tyyppi_77 Did you draw those sprites?

user4704

@Polarbear0106 ...the flag message tells me who flagged it.

user92578

5:09 PM

yeah I did

user4704

Don't argue.

Does it really or is that a lie?

user4704

It does really.

user92578

Yeah site flags are not anonymous

user92578

Atleast not to everyone

5:10 PM

@kalina!

Alexandre Vaillancourt

Yeah, this is logical, someone needs to know if someone else is abusing the system.

@Simon flagged as offensive

@MickLH o/ ltns etc

PearsonArtPhoto

Those of us with blue text are moderators, and we can see that kind of stuff.

emm

@kalina Totally also gonna invite this room to the wrestling match.

5:11 PM

I can also see it

@PearsonArtPhoto your text isn't blue, your name is

PearsonArtPhoto

Didn't realize that.

Okay, blue name text...

wait, what?

@Simon this is closer to home territory for me than for you

@Simon did you see the excitement from @MickLH when I joined?

You guys only come for the drama

5:12 PM

<-- local troublemaker

yes, I'm attracted to drama

because drama is the best

@Tyyppi_77 Neat, my main issue with game dev is that I don't want to spend hours at sprites design but also want it to look somewhat good.

typical female

@kalina Yup, totally a nurdy move.

@Jon this is totally offensive

5:12 PM

You are allowed to be offended

@Jon Hey now, I love drama too!

it's a fact

user92578

@Simon Thanks, yeah that's the reason I had to put in somewhat good art in my game quite early on :)

don't bother helping @Simon, he's the kind of person who says he's a musician but never gets past tweaking the kick drum

@Simon Did you ever check OpenGameArt?

5:13 PM

if he's getting into game development that basically means he'll get as far as creating an animated penis and no further

hmm... there is a lack of animated penis games

I'd buy it

well this is true

I wouldn't buy it though

there's probably a reason why such a thing doesn't exist

@MartinSojka Nope, I'll check it out tonight, cheers.

@MartinSojka this site is neat and all, but most art will only allow you to be used in non commercial projects, so I mostly use it as placeholders

I'll probably bite the bullet and spend some time designing though.

5:14 PM

@Simon You should. Basically, generic placeholder art is better than nothing, and it has good generic placeholder art.

@MartinSojka That's perfect. Right now, my placeholders are basic forms in Unity.

Also, see if kenney.nl has anything you might need.

make them shapes

@MartinSojka Noted.

kenney art is good placeholder art -- I prefer to just used a single white pixel.

5:15 PM

@DarkHyudrA Well, you'll never be free from checking for licenses unless you only want to release your game to friends or on some kind of "underground" where it doesn't matter.

@MartinSojka If you go to OpenGameArt it's almost hard not to bump into a Kennet sprite sheet :)

I'd just end up drawing things anyway but I usually don't want to take a break from coding to do it.

this room seems to be obsessed with game development

@kalina Sorry 'bout that.

anybody would think that'd you'd have created a room just to talk about game development by now

5:17 PM

I try to steer people away from the topic all the time

@kalina it has something to do with the title of the room

It's ok guys, she complains when we talk about security in the InfoSec.SE chat.

@Simon you don't need to explain me to these guys

@kalina They are all bluffing

Yeah please don't

5:17 PM

@kalina Oh I'll explain you real good, son.

keep explaining, I've never seen @kalina here

Imma write a game about this

anybody will think we know each other and/or are friends and/or who are you again?

@DarkHyudrA really? That's unfortunate.

@DarkHyudrA Ok, good. She also has a tendency to insult me a lot.

She likes bananas and donuts.

you had me at bananas

5:18 PM

I don't like donuts

@kalina Start asking people about singletons and how to best use Java

guys what is the best way to use Java?

@MickLH o lawd

Java is a lot like alzheimers

don't use it

5:18 PM

It starts off slow.. then its takes all your memory

not even coffee?

What engine are you guys using anyway?

@Simon libGDX

pls this room obviously write their own engines for fun

user92578

I'm using a custom framework built ontop of SDL2

5:19 PM

I do what i want when I want with the engine I want

starting out on Unity, will see if I can handle it

Speaking of Java, the second thing I'd use a time machine for would likely be to jump back to 1990 and explain Gosling the basic principles behind an object-oriented language, because judging by what he designed, he just didn't get it.

LOL @MartinSojka

... and it's not like this wasn't painfully clear around 1995 either.

@MartinSojka I would ask him to give my pointers back, and model a String class that is not a total mess

5:20 PM

@DarkHyudrA Do the UFO tutorial.

@MartinSojka please be very careful with your time excursions, the last one ended up with Windows 8

@Simon tks for the hint, I'm actually on a free course, so after I finish it I'll do some research myself

@Simon just a regular V8, 4.6 liters I believe

@Simon For the little things I do for my group of friends, libgdx.

I sold my 5.7L

Way too much power in that fucker

5:21 PM

@MickLH you must be an American

@MickLH What a waste. A turbocharged 4 litre can go a long way.

@MickLH V8 are for pussies, I use a W16

No I just have to haul things

I now have a turbo charged ford ecoboost

@DarkHyudrA Ya there's a ton of documentation, it's been great for me so far.

5:22 PM

(Just kidding I'm as american as it fucking gets bitches USA! USA!)

@MartinSojka I should check it out, I've only used Unity so far.

mick is like, the dark side

@Simon what are you going to do when you get bored of game development?

@kalina That'll be around this summer so I'll be drifting the brz I guess.

I can't even think of the last time I actually needed to use the truck... And if I rewind to general times I needed to use it I can't think of any time I actually needed anything larger than a smart car....

Except every time because I aint no fuckin punk

5:23 PM

I sold my truck after my divorce--- cuz she took my camper trailer

da hell do I need a truck for with no camper?

awww

gotta have the camper shell

@Simon are you going to get a period of time during the year where Canada isn't covered in snow?

@kalina pls, there's barely any snow so far this year.

@Simon now you've done it

pffft.. wanna be canadian

5:24 PM

47 meters of snow incoming

@kalina That'd suck so much.

No

nearly made a your mom joke and then remembered this isn't the DMZ

Jon, if you keep going, we'll be wrestling really soon.

@kalina It's ok I nearly made a sex joke, I think it was supposed to happen but didn't

5:25 PM

ITSec people are really lame, wow

It's okay to be gay let's rejoice with the boys in a gay waaaayyyy

Make the damn joke

@Jon NUH UH YOU CAN'T MAKE ME

How many IT security experts does it take to change a lightbulb?

None, they're like Canadians, they're scared of the dark.

5:27 PM

@Jon A lot? Because they are incompetent?

What do computers and air conditioners have in common? Both become useless when you open Windows.

o pls roro

Why do Java programmers have to wear glasses? Because they don't C#.

@kalina correct.

I really think my Java joke was missed here... i'll repeat it

5:27 PM

@Simon whaat I heard someone was dissing IT Security

@RоryMcCune That'd be Jon the donutlord.

Look at his smug gravatar.

Java is like Alzheimers.. it takes a while to start, then it takes all your memory

He looks like a damn donut.

@Simon you've been here how long and you're already giving people donut based names?

My logo is pretty sweet eh?

5:28 PM

Software developers like to solve problems, if there are no problems available they'll create their own problems

@RоryMcCune Yeah... My bad.

A foo walks into a bar and takes a long look around before saying "Hello world!"

@Jon It's fine, I'm playing with ya.

But you're a donut anyway.

A programmer had a problem. He decided to use Java. Now he has a ProblemFactory.

Attention Chatters: This is a public service announcement: Do not allocate names in the "donut" space as this space is fully allocated already. Thank you.

5:29 PM

Is "donut" a slang for vagina?

Because I'm not a vagina

Donut is a slang for whatever you decide.

Yes, that was a sex joke. Yes, you are.

If you want to be a vagina, you can be one.

Everything's possible, son.

^ See. Obviously I was challenging your manhood Jon

For @kalina's sake

Challenge Accepted.... I CHOOSE A CODE OFF!

5:30 PM

I... what?

You're welcome

@Jon is that like a faceoff for less awesome people?

@kalina it's more like the matrix and star wars mixed up in a blender

No idea what a faceoff is

A SQL database walked into a NoSQL bar. A little while later, they walked out again... they couldn't find a table.

5:31 PM

That where you remove your face and replace it with John Travolta's?

@kalina ffs

@kalina flagged

@Simon ffs

Wow, screw these InfoSec nurdz, this place is much better.

A programmer got stuck in the shower because the instructions on the shampoo bottle said lather, rinse, repeat.

5:32 PM

NOOOOOOOO I'm actually out of popcorn

Don't tell them I said that though.

@Simon righto, it'll be a secret

oops

someone give them the transcript now

pls, I already did that

5:33 PM

@DarkHyudrA too late

I knew it was a matter of seconds until kalinuh would tell them.

Programmer's wife asks her husband "Run to the store and pick up a loaf of bread, If they have eggs, get a dozen." -- he returned with 12 loaves of bread.

@Simon :op

what kind of casual do you take me for?

kalinuh never disappoints

5:33 PM

@Jon why did you comment out the punchline?

You love me.

HAHA roro suspended me from the room

I love everybody equally

that is, not at all

Silly roro.

Yo mama would be upset over that.

5:34 PM

Only ostensibly, though

If the box says "This software requires Windows XP or better", does that mean it'll run on Linux?

in The DMZ, 25 secs ago, by Simon

I'm joking lads, these game dev dudes are huge nurdz, I don't want to hang out with them.

in The DMZ, 27 secs ago, by Simon

Don't tell them that though.

Conspiracy.

I don't know who this Simon guy is.

@kalina generally yes, wine is pretty developed at this point

5:35 PM

this room is magical with @kalina, I just blink and there's a dozen new messages

@DarkHyudrA I have that effect

Same guy comes on /r/gamedevclassifieds looking for a coder to help him with his amazing idea.

@DarkHyudrA you've never worked creative programming?

That's generally the effect of tossing a woman into the mix

Or that she doesn't shut up :P

rekt

5:36 PM

how rude

That's the general effect of being a woman, jon, there's a difference

wow

lulz

lol we only say it out of love @kalina

I wonder why women don't hang out here.

5:36 PM

I don't remember the last time kalinuh got rekt this much.

U GUYZ H8 ME I'M LEAVING

Massive sausage party up in here.

MASSIVE sausage

@Jon that's consistent with every other room I've idled in

No you were at massive parties

not parties of massive sausage

5:37 PM

@kalina jsut for the record, I like a girl that doesn't shut up

it's always me vs a bunch of nerdy super geeks one rejection away from launching a botnet or similar

literally, my girlfriend.

LOL oh dear

I thought you would say your mom

Speaking of being huge nerds, there's an anime airing right now about a team of highschoolers who banded together to make a video game (Shoujo-tachi wa Kouya wo Mezasu). Micro-spoiler: The main programmer is a huge dick. And I'm raging why they didn't throw that sorry excuse for a time waste out yet. Oh well, anime logic ...

@MartinSojka That's the way to go, embracing the nurdness.

5:38 PM

@MickLH BTW you know that in reality @kalina is a 43 year old trucker from Des Moines?

hey woah I meant nerdy super geeks in a playfully friendly way, we didn't need to escalate this to animes

^

@RоryMcCune That's fine, as long as it feels right

I live in the moment

@RоryMcCune they're not going to be sure whether you're joking or not

@MickLH What an open-minded individual, I like you.

5:38 PM

@kalina that's true

I treat everyone as a 43 year old trucker from Des Moines.

also what kind of infosec professional goes around leaking information about other people!?

@Jon That's also a very good philosophy.

YOU MONSTER

Especially if they are a hot single that is looking for sex in my area.

5:39 PM

arena*

Jon has a sex arena

ô_ô

It is a sex tunnel.. not arena

whatever same diff

does it have a spinning bed?

And I invite you all to come in it.

5:40 PM

area is misleading

@kalina the unscrupulous kind?

with a pit of fire surrounding it?

@Jon Is there a fuck train that has no brakes in that tunnel?

@kalina one way to find out

@RоryMcCune this is why I can't have internet friends I can share stuff with

5:40 PM

Frankly, I prefer a kind of a sex thunderdome.

post-apocalyptic eh?

nice

@kalina yeah you should stick to internet personas and untraceable opsec, unlike what you've done in the past..... wait a mo'

looooooooool

What did C++ say to C? You have no class.

do you even code?

5:41 PM

pls

do you know how hard it is to code with long nails

Actually didn't some paper show that we basically all probably have personality traits from the "dark triad" simply because we're choosing to chat online?

unfortunately yes.

@kalina you should try dictating your code to Cortana

no because then Microsoft would have a full copy of whatever I wrote

@kalina I actually know this struggle, others may know the difficulty but I might be the only one with little enough sanity to have reached the lengths where the real struggle sets in

5:43 PM

Microsoft Vista Speech Recognition Tested - Perl Scripting

#wife { right:100%;margin:0; }

This girl I coded with -- she would rename the linux man command to woman

transgender

that's the right thing to do, I don't care that it stands for manual

who cares what anything or anyone stands for

I'm just gonna do my thing

5:45 PM

oh fine just fucking continue the tradition of having a woman who is actually a man hitting accurately on the important points

It is in your best interest to get a sex change

I've thought about it, but only for the convenience in social manipulation. It would be strange adjusting to being a lesbian

@kalina they do that anyway if you store it in onedrive/use outlook for mail :)

You jsut need a scissoring tutorial

@MickLH really? What makes you think that?

@RоryMcCune yes, onedrive is the correct location to store source code

5:47 PM

@kalina better than a local disk with no source code control :)

onedrive is not source control

If I was a girl.. i'd get married/divorced twice a year -- while not working

Support myself through ex-boyfriends for the remainder of my life

@kalina no indeed but at least it's not local../

try { something } catch(e) { window.location.href="http://stackoverflow.com/search?q=[js] + " + e.message; }

@kalina Mainly because I hadn't met you before

5:48 PM

You can stack this stuff -- so if you do it enough, you'd be a millionaire in no time

@MickLH now I'm confused

It's a yes.

... no its a boy.

So this SEO copywriter walks into a bar, grill, pub, public house, Irish bar, bartender, drinks, beer, wine, liquor

wait, fuck

Who is who again?

5:50 PM

who is what

Oh yeah, yes you

if who is what..... then who the fuck is what?

How many programmers does it take to change a lightbulb? None - it's a hardware problem.

I'm bored at joking now

I'll change the lightbulb... just it'll cost consultation rates not programming rates

let's do something interesting

5:51 PM

penis animations?

who here has played the new Tomb Raider game?

penanimations?

Pen Island

oooh the old tomb raider game was fun, don't know about the new one really

new games seem to suck really bad on average

well the old one had that narrative/gameplay disconnect

that's still present in the new one

but otherwise it's basically the same game, refined, in a new location

5:52 PM

new games focus on looks, and on rails gameplay

well the Tomb Raider reboots are linear games that feel pseudo openworld

so the on rails-ness is to be expected

Holy fuck it's almost 10am, I need pizza and drugs inside me, then we can continue this

put drugs on your pizza

I'm not going to sit here waiting while you fill yourself full of pizza!

kill two stones with one bird

5:54 PM

Then come with...

@MickLH How's life in the East?

WEST I MEAN WEST

God damn it.

Both are good last I checked

Another stereotypical @Simon failure

pls

a guy called simon punched me in the face once

5:54 PM

@Jon obviously do this!

It's like left and right, which one is actually on the left and which one is on the right?

@Jon Did you enjoy it?

@Simon are you facing north or south?

he was jealous cuz his girlfriend was into me.

so I get punched in the face because of that

Classic simon

lol

that could actually be the same simon

5:56 PM

pls

The universe mailed me a few girlfriend related face-punches, but I never signed for them and just let the delivery service deal with the confusion lol

Later on that same night -- Simon was kicked out of the house

and his girlfriend was in my bed in underwear

i told her to get out

I can't believe you, @Jon

How could you?

user image

no drama.

5:58 PM

you wat, you want drama?

I'll give you drama!

o pls no

She made herself venerable and you didn't provide her with a safe warm, maybe moist place to take comfort. This is almost a crime against humanity!

Was she pretty?

Some would say no.

Hmm, well then some would say it's not a crime, but still!

I'd say it is a crime.

5:59 PM

I would say she was pretty hot, mainly because of her curvature

THEN YOU KNOW WHAT YOU ARE, INSIDE

"curvature"

YOU CANT HIDE FROM YOURSELF, unless you just dip into the delusional spectrum, I guess that's pretty easy actually

PearsonArtPhoto

@kalina That reminds me of the old UIs that had one walk through an office to do certain tasks.
