I recall reading that even advanced fields, like diagnosing diseases had a better success-rate with robots.

Yeah isn't that nice to know your tablet might actually be better equipped to diagnose you than your doctor :P

I don't like the auto checkouts in grocery stores because they suck for stuff like produce.

Hey guys notice anything on the asteroids?

if I'm buying a bunch of boxes and cans, I don't mind them at all

but I'm a programmer, I know how they work

@TheMuffinCoder Are they muffins?

scan, this should weigh this much, wait for scale to say it's been put in the bag, wait for next scan.

Love self checkouts if they have no line ups

lol no

they have a very subtle smiley face on them all

my wife however, wants to do it really really fast, and doesn't give it time to weigh stuff and it's a mess

It'll be a easter egg for anyone who looks closely

Do you guys think there will be a tech bubble? I mean I see a lot of people going into programming and computer science but I fear it may pop sooner or later.

once computers can reliably program themselves, yeah

lol the era of automation is coming, we'll need tons of programmers to keep up with the demand for that

but when that happens, I think programmer jobs will be the least of our worries

@Almo I kinda can't wait for this

lol mick how will u make money by then?

Mick is a robot. He doesn't need food.

I can download a farm of open source code monkeys and run them on my GPU and they can build my software for me

But he needs bacon

@MickLH Mick you should make these

@Almo Eventually I think there will be a point where we need a universal income.

@TheMuffinCoder Diabetus on a stick.

Wait I think that's heart disease on a stick

The "maple" version is diabetes

It can contribute to diabetus too though. Two for one.

@Sie agreed

@Almo There is talk about cheap labor which might become an issue. At the moment the quality of the code is too bad, but it will change.

hay mick

@WilliamMariager I've heard some companies outsource code and it's generally shitty/hacky but it's cheap.

Yeah. In the future, it'll likely get less shitty/hacky and stay cheap. :)

Outsourced tech support sure hasn't.

It's like manual labor. At first a lot of supervision was needed when using people from less developed countries, but now they're pretty much doing it 100% themselves.

@Sie AI is getting pretty good at that, this might be one of the first ones to switch over :P

I wonder if there is a way to turn IntelliSense into Clippy.

All you really need are some tech support logs and a GPU and you can just make a neural network that's competitive with a "meh"-level tech support guy

> "It looks like you are trying to create a new property. Do you want me to help? [Yes][No]"

Oh clippy

@WilliamMariager I can feel his presence

SuperUser.SE has clippy in their chat. :P

blog.codinghorror.com/it-looks-like-youre-writing-a-for-loop

Imagine a universe where clippy became a thing

Instead of drones there are levitating clippys

Honestly. Clippy for programming (for the sake of learning) wouldn't be that terrible.

I really need a story already. I mean I like the levels so far but I mean what exactly is driving the player? Like looking at Portal you were a test subject and ultimately you wanted to escape and find out why you were there. That was your motivation but my game doesn't have any real motivating factor.

@Sie I swear I'm not a robot I just like that stuff ok?

@Mick 0/0=

@Sie Ok I've got a story for your game, you're cast in paper world while at your desk trying to write a game story and a magical <recurring item from your game> fell on your head and put you into a coma dream world

Boom the game is about the game needing to be about something

Solve problems with the same problem

Wow that actually sounds really good. Only thing is the whole "just a dream trope" is sort of cheap.

^ somebody buy this guy above this guy a beer

@Sie for extra spice replace "dream trope" with "quantum oddity" and say the magical item was entangled and caused his particles to disappear and reappear in paper universe

you know, you still have to cook even when you use a cookbook

Also I was joking lol that story is cheap

sudo @Sie --update-taste > :30663273

I wonder... :66666666

hey guys

i need to figure out how to calculate the distance between two entities

how u do that:?/;

@Jon Are you referring to a necessity being the euclidean distance computation for your project?

@MickLH Well seriously up until the whole dream/teleportation bit it was actually pretty good. Kind of cheesy but good.

emphasis on the "tities" portion of the entity

yay starred

I seent it

:66666666

Clearly the antichrist.

> EvilPhoenix

u guys ever smell what the rock was cooking?

Ya. He was cooking a metal chair.

no I was too scared it was a fart joke

holy shit

devil is really on internet no wonder that internet is full of mean people. chat.stackexchange.com/transcript/message/666666#666666

raymond?

haha

@MickLH you get anywhere with that idea you had with the music?

@Jon Electronic stuff.

lol

would it work?

leenk me up bra

Not for the original goal because it would be obviously different so it wouldn't let the loop feel seamless lol

seriously though, how did you make that song?

what software?

FL studio

Edirol orchestra synth

crazy man

would take me 3 months to do that

I just punched in some notes and did some post-processing

sorry, take me 3 months to do something shittier than that

@Jon I'm just gonna copy paste it and slightly vary everything ok? It'll still serve the same purpose :P

do it up

if it takes you 5 minutes please do it up

if it takes you 2 hours, don't

stencilbuffer + unity

this is fucken beautiful

reddit.com/r/Unity3D/comments/4q27jv/…

now i want to write this

look at how the colors layer over each other

goddamn son

It reminds of Super Mario Sunshine.

it is a heck of a lot of work for splatter, haha

What do you think of Mick's story he made up for my game @Jon? I think it is pretty good.

cliché

It really isn't that bad. Give yourself some credit :).

ok so here is your story

you took some hard drugs, and you are now trying to cope with it

you can somehow manipulate the world in ways that you have never seen

can you survive the trip?

Like the whole thing is like some sort of acid trip? Maybe towards the end of the game we can have the player detox and it turns out you were just playing with gum the whole time.

You'll have to experiment with hard drugs for artistic exposure while developing that game

Of course.

have some alice in wonderland scenery

instant hit

I can do some decent outdoor environments but I'm not very good at in door environments just yet.

i think it would sell

then this guy called Anir just shows up, in your game, and starts shooting everyone and everything

throws money around likes its toilet paper

fade out----- fade in.... "Car of Anir"

who wants to make this with me?

after gorb, i swear to god

I already have some top down car code

it has slip.. but it needs work

jgallant.com/carbuild/carbuild.html

shit here it is..

i dare you to make a better one

old school GTA -like

that fucken demo took me like... 3 months

its full sim

but i feel like its also fun

it was setup to be fun to play -- the car can be modified

literally.. to the point of wheelbase... its that fucken stupid

I need to simpllify

asawicki.info/Mirror/Car%20Physics%20for%20Games/…

I took everything from this

I actually wasn't joking for once, if you had a gta-like I'd play it lol

Car of Anir :P

and if it were online r4ukwdkl

so help me

this game will not make it with just me

a multiplayer drug dealing gta game

join me.

I mean you can't say no to that

it will be like the slither.io of gta

seriously,.... ok picture this... you start off as a pedestrian

chaos is going on around you .. you can just jump into any vehicle to try to survive

I can completely visualize the game but how do we get a shitload of good map?

you can get out of a car, and shoot

shit man.... a good map is the least of our woories

i can get us good maps

Really? It seems like we have pretty minimal entities to program then beyond that

i know

Car, gun, chicken, grenade

and it could be pretty hugef

remote control grenade

game sells itself

car-triggered grenade

better yet, make it level based

grenade?

kinda like that game there.. where its top down and you kill peoploe

with masks

Ok straight 2D or pseudo-2D?

wtf is that game

hotlline miami

lol

so kinda like hotline miami.. but you can get in cars and fuck off

I think straight 2D is kindof the bomb diggity

i have never witnessed a bomb diggity in person

@Jon so infinite city forever with procedurally filled in buildings?

@Jon I sent you an email

:D:D:D

remastered

that is fucken perfect man

i'm literally crying that is amazing

ok well i'm not crying

but its awesome

also email me a logo and credits you want on the about page

so i'm listening to both songs.. how the fuck

Idk if it will be a seamless loop

I changed some of the processing so the "wrap" processing might have a pop

no but that first song

it the same length, and is very similar

but side to side, it makes that first one sound like shit

anyways its awesome

lol I'll give you the FL file if you want to fuck around with it

i wouildn't know what to do with it

mucho talenté

bravo

your music will be heard by thousands of people

send me your logo and shit

i'll take time to give you a shoutout in my about poage

lol I don't think I have a logo though

well whatever you want on it

as long as its not like hitler symbolism

maybe you could give people a link to my soundcloud so if they liked the chill gentle music they can be horrified by my usual fast paced ghetto-flavored techno

yeah exactly

send me exactly what you want.. make it fit in like a nice square shape

I want it round

a circle?

I want round shape.

lol

i was thinking of reworking the about page

so if you pressed a shape it would open a webpage

i could make the about page all round shapes, lol
