I feel so so stupid rn
I just realized that instead of rewriting my exact javascript code to typescript
I should had just scratched everything and started fresh so it'll be cleaner in typescript
; - ; gonna have to delete 700 lines of ugly typescript

Good morning

@MickLH Ever used crystal synth?
 
@IcyDefiance helped get wakka into gold 5 tonight. Now we aren't allowed to duo xD
 
@Tyyppi_77 Josh doesn't want us to say "Good morning" anymore because it's "primarily opinion based".

Working on rocket entities (WIP):
 
user92578
 
user92578
6:48 AM
Did not plan to have multiple "bullet types" when I designed the CEntityBullet class
 
user92578
Also the rockets are way too big
 
user92578
It's hard because most of the stuff is done at the CEntityBullet constructor
 
user92578
So CEntityRocket has no space to get in and change the speed, hitbox and sprite values
 
tear it down and rebuild it
 
user92578
I didn't even design the bullet class to support multiple sprite orientations
 
user92578
7:24 AM
I think that the bazooka rockets need to be way smaller
 
user92578
These big rockets are better for like turrets or something

I'm very happy with the end result:

Alltough it probably needs a bit nicer flying path
 
user92578
And maybe a homing-feature
 
9:27 AM
@Tyyppi_77 did u draw the rocket?!
 
user92578
Yeah
 
it's...noice.
 
user92578
thanks

@Tyyppi_77 nice!
@Tyyppi_77 maybe add a sine wave of up and down motion?
 
y += sin(x * freq) * amp;
I think it's like the first function I learned to use with games.
 
It's a classic
 
Before I even knew what sin was. :P
 
all of sudden I got a new business plan
whos with me?
it's gonna be great pyram... ponz... uhh network marketing opportunity
 
11:22 AM
no? okay. I'll keep makin' games
 
@Lasse aha
 
Jon
12:06 PM
its noto a pyramid scheme.. you buy their product and then sell it at a profit!
This guy at work tried to sell me into one of those coffee selling schemes
ridiculously high priced coffee with this magical chinese herb
its not a pyramid scheme -- you just have to peddle crap product while the company takes zero risk
Amazing how many fools fall for it -- and they all say the same shit "SOME GUY I DON'T KNOW HAS A REALLY NICE CAR OUT OF IT"
Oh yeah, he's banking 200K / year with this now
 
12:43 PM
@Jon risk free!
just sign up with £150 and you'll get your starter pack!
you'll be earning £9999999 in 5 minutes*
*subject to finding that many people to buy your crap and other poor souls to do it too
 
Jon
i know at least 6 people , well, that fell for stupid stuff like that
not stupid people
 
I've done it myself
 
Jon
if it is too good to be true, you are probably dreaming
 
my other half had her friend try to convince her and she was gunna go for it but I managed to talk her out of it
 
Jon
like my dream last night... sigh
 
12:45 PM
oh it did pay, about £1200 a month, but it was 7 days a week so ...
@Jon what was her name ;D
 
Jon
hah, and its funny you can hardly talk them out of it
 
indeed
 
Jon
because these "salesmen" brainwash the crap out of people
 
well, I've been there, done that, got the T-shirt
 
Jon
haha, nice shirT?
 
12:46 PM
yeah I was 17 I think
I will say I had a nack for it, as I sold something to a passerby whilst being interviewed for it
 
Jon
haha, nice
 
still, they're salesman that try to sell the job to you
then it pyramids out and they become a "manager"
 
Jon
i lived with a girl that was into that stuff too
selling cleaning products
 
I was selling makeup
 
Jon
1 small dish towel went for like 20$
make up?? lol
 
12:48 PM
is that a lot? I don't understand $'s xD
I'd have to sell this crap makeup for £80
 
Jon
yes, you can get a pack of 5 for like 3$
she really tried to push this product.. it was kinda sad, lol
 
damn
the business model was good to be fair, they're the best "hype" marketing company I've seen
but alas commision only isn't for me
 
Jon
right
you are essentially working for free
actually
you are paying them to work
which is mind boggling, lol
 
ahaha yeah
 
Jon

Jon
Ualuealuealeuale refers to a YTMND fad associated with the incoherent gibberish chorus from the song “Chacarron Macarron” by the Panamanian artist Rodney Clark, a.k.a El Chombo.
 
I'll raise you that
 
Jon
"Chacarron Macarron" (usually shortened to "Chacarron") is a hit song by Panamanian artists Rodney Clark ('El Chombo') and Andy De La Cruz (also known as Andy Val Gourmet). Rodney is best known for Lorna's 2003 hit "Papi Chulo". The song has gained popularity on the Internet because of its nonsensical lyrics (which are nothing but gibberish consisting of various onomatopoeic sounds, such as the "uale" noise, earning him the nickname of "El Mudo") and music video, which has seen it being used in numerous viral videos online. A similar song, "Chacarron Macarron", appeared as the first track of Yahari...
 
@GnomeSlice lololololol

Listen atleast to the first chorus:

> I put mayonnaise on everything, that's how I eat.
best lyric
 
@Tyyppi_77 I can't understand him
 
user92578
That's how we Finns pronounce English

Can't hear that without thinking of that now
oh good lord

That's probably enough spam for now
I have to get ready to go to work... missed my bus an hour ago so I'm already gonna be like 10 mins late

Jon
2:19 PM
i can't understand a word this guy is saying
holy mac most annoying voice ever
 
2:54 PM
@GnomeSlice "I am a man from his society, a boy under hood." xD
the dude's got hilarious videos youtube.com/watch?v=5PsnxDQvQpw "I am a pretty shy person n average looking-last time I had sex was 2003. I get nervous in social situations motha fckers!"
 
@BlueBug hmmm... he makes almost 3 times more than me :P
 
^ wut? lol xD I mean I guess... he's now a popular youtuber.
 
:D
he has a line, saying he makes 12 bucks an hour
 
now I think about it, it's a bit irony.
you make 4bucks an hour?
 
yeah, something like that
 
3:03 PM
it's alright man, I am in an army and I make about 2 bucks an hour
you still make two more times than me xD
 
:D
well, right now, my job is developing "back-end" stuff, as in C++ heavy shit!
wrote about 35k LOC in the last 6 months
but actually I'm not (shouldn't be) complaining. I'm almost paid well compared to other people in the market
 
....? now I am confused. You still make 4 bucks an hour? I am confused. Is you job involve your excessive commitment besides business purpose? Like, you do the job because you like it? Or is it because of currency difference in your country? So perhaps 4 bucks an hour is the average payment in your country?
 
@BlueBug it's the later, 4 buck/hour is an average payment
not very well, but not bad either
though compared to what I do, it's kinda low, but the thing is I like the environment and the people, so it covers not having a high salary
 
understood
 
all about living costs

4:01 PM
@Ali.S Where are you from?
 
Iran
 
Ah.
 
4:20 PM
Hi
 
ello
 
Im changing my name and everything to something friendly, i look stupid
 
I wouldn't worry too much about it
I mean, we have @TheMuffinCoder here xD
muffins everywhere!
 
Hehe!
 
it gets confusing when people change their names anyway
 
4:25 PM
So i figured you guys would be happy if i told you i just made.... PONG!!!!!!!!!!!!!
 
Finally
 
YEEESSS
 
Hold on let me get a screen shot
 
I really hope you coded it on your own this time
 
Its java driven this time and no more blender and python
 
4:27 PM
@Lokkij I just hit a wtf moment with the language btw...if a function is of type Function and objects that define the function __call__ can be called, how the hell do I define the Function type without using Function for __call__ xD
 
Hahaha
 
@7Blue_Beast7 one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind
@Lokkij I am literally stumped atm
I might have to go for a compiler intrinsic
 
I can't believe i have done something great
 
@OMGtechy Yeah I think that'd be the solution
 
4:29 PM
aw it looks awesome
 
Pixelated
 
^^
 
does it go beep?
 
It was hard to work the collisions
 
yeah they're a pain
 
4:31 PM
I haven't even tried to add it yet
 
@7Blue_Beast7 And now the ultimate question... DO YOU KNOW HOW ARRAYS WORK?
 
@Lokkij Yes, you all told me all this like a million times now
 
Good.
 
TELL US
:D
xD
@7Blue_Beast7 do you know how lists (not linked lists) work?
 
@OMGtechy Told me that too. List and arrays actually
I find list easier
 
4:34 PM
tell us :)
lists are built upon arrays so
 
An array is something that manages variables especially those of the same type. Sometimes i found it impossible to make PONG!!!! without the need for an array. Like a lists within an array hold values.
 
how do they work though? :)
that's just what they are
int myArray[4];
myArray[0] = 1;
myArray[1] = 42;
myArray[2] = 15;
myArray[3] = -4;
^ what's going on in that C code?
 
Your creating some kind of collection of integers or variables?
Its like math working with data with tables
and ploting the points on a graph
 
Ok do you want me to explain what's going on behind the scenes?
 
Yes, please
 
4:42 PM
first, we declare int myArray[4], which says "we want myArray to refer to an array of 4 ints".
let's assume our ints are 32 bits
so it'll allocate 4 integers side by side (this is called contiguous memory, where all the blocks are next to each other roughly speaking), so 32 bits is 4 bytes, so that's 4 * 4 bytes which is 16 bytes of memory in total
with me so far?
 
Yes (interesting)
 
ok then, so the value that's left in myArray is the address of the first integer in the block. Since they're contiguous, we know that if increase the address by 4 bytes, we'll be at the next integer
so by knowing where the first one is, we can work out where the second one is by adding 4 essentially, and the third by adding 4 again ...
still with me?
 
Yeah, most definitely
 
ok then, so in order to refer to the nth integer, we need to do the first address + (size of type * element number)
so the size of type is 4 bytes here
so that might be first address + (4 * n) where n is the element we want
this is why arrays are typically 0 index'd
because if we do 4 * 0 we just end up with the first one
 
4 x 0 is 0
 
4:49 PM
exactly
first address + 0 = first address
got that ? :)
so that's why the first element is referred to by 0 and not 1
 
If there was no zero in this data then wouldn't the array be misleading?
 
?
elaborate?
remember that the first integer is stored at the address myArray refers to
so to refer to it we don't need to add anything
 
hence 0 index'd arrays
 
Ah, ok
 
4:52 PM
better?
 
awesome
 
Well this gave me something to think about
 
so when we say myArray[2] = 4; we're saying take the address of myArray and add (4 * 2) to it, because 4 is the size of an int, and then store 4 in there
you can write this literally in C with pointer arithmetic, but that's beyond this lesson :D
that's all there is to arrays really though
 
4:55 PM
I'll leave lists for another time
:P
 
Ok
How do i add a link to my word again?
 
[likethis](address)
so my website is [my website](https://joshuagerrard.info)
 
what're you asking?
