Game Development

our conn can already stream multiple HD movies at a time

by multiple I mean two

haven't tried more

It is more than likely meant for people that transfer videos over the net

possibly a wanna be youtube star

How much video would you have to need that much bandwidth :/

uploading a gigabyte video on a 30MBps connection every few hours could suck balls

true

Rendering would take longer than uploading though

I would rather downgrade a bit, build some dedicated rendering/uploading hardware, and automate it

3:09 PM

I can see more use for somethign like 100/100

I think we're 50/10

the 10 is the issue

not the 50

upstream is capped to stop you from running a at home business if you ask me

jon sir?

whats the best library for card games?

Elton Jon... I am not.

Personally, I'd write my own libs for a card game

Deck, Card

Done.

oh so i mean to write all those animations

:(

What animations?

A card translating from one position to another?

Man, don't strain yourself.

A card flip animation, just set animate the width or height of the card to 0, swap texture, the animate back to normal

3:12 PM

ok jon sir my first effort about to get success

Write it yourself -- don't look for a library for this.. you should be able to do all this

@Jon agreed

ok sir thanks for inspiring me

i will do it without using any other libs

do it!!!

Start small

Write a Card class

make it draw

Write a Deck class.. make it store all the cards

@ujwaldhakal also, if you are writing in C#/Xna/Monogame -- Microsoft has a starter kit that you could use

msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/vstudio/ms789080.aspx

its kinda shitty, but shows you some of the concepts I talked about

i am using node sir

3:21 PM

@Jon who the heck are you talking to? I can't think of anyone that I've ignored.

lol

Seriously, who is it?

ujwaldhakal

ah

if you ignore someone, their icon still shows in the logged in thing on the upper right, but very small

so if someone you ignored is talking, you can tell by looking up there

3:26 PM

yes sir

Fist day of uni: Nailed Java class, but now i have a flat tire and there is a thunderstorm out

@Jon sir

Hammerlock

@Hjorthenify that sucks

All three things suck

3:44 PM

Thunderstorms are awesome.

Depends if you are stuck in the middle of nowhere with a flat or not

Thunderstorms are significantly less awesome when you're on a bicycle.

7

true

4:02 PM

or swimming in the ocean

:/

@Jon that would definitely be significantly less awesome when you're on a bicycle

I have to go home and do homework :/

user92578

:(

user92578

I feel for you man

user92578

Had to implement a list box for the new level editor UI:

user92578

4:09 PM

Nice

user92578

Thanks

user92578

Went surprisingly smoothly

Kevin van der Velden

@Lokkij Can confirm: Was just on a bike

user92578

4:25 PM

Ill call it a day, bye guys!

cya Tyyppi!

4:45 PM

jon sir?

how would u design ur database for turn wise game?

Oh this is cool

github.com/maker-dot-space/maker-dot-space.github.io

it's at maker.space

Q: Should there be a migration path to Software Recommendations?

@Lokkij Or when you have to walk 7km home

Kevin van der Velden

5:12 PM

I dunno, unless it's raining really hard with added wind I prefer walking over cycling

At least with walking my legs remain mostly dry

Given all the "which tech to use" questions this site seems to get, Software Recomendations looks like it might be a good place to migrate the "which tech" questions to (at least the "well defined" ones). At the least, it looks like a good location to redirect some of those users to. This recent...

@Tyyppi_77 good job :)

@Jon YOU GOT IT :D

@Jon and Tallowmere :P (cc @Chris)

6:24 PM

my favorite one like that is

@Almo ahaha

Oh my god why does the first practical for Autonomous Systems have to be those fucking Braitenberg Vehicles :(

Why does the first course of my math class have to be imaginary units? -.-

Kevin van der Velden

Because imagination is fun!

I don't know man Braitenberg Vehicles are so much more boring

@Hjorthenify You have an imaginary friend! (sqrt(-1))

Welp. I just opted myself out of taking a test to take AP Chemistry in favor of taking Honors Chemistry

6:53 PM

@Pip At least I also have a real friend! 2+sqrt(-1)

3

Two years ago I took an advanced physics/chem class and I talked to some school admins about taking AP Chem, earlier this year. They FINALLY got back to me and I was like. No. I'm not motivated enough any more.

@Hjorthenify sqrt(-1) is real as well. That's a complex number

:P

technically they are both have real and imaginary components

;D

@Pip According to my book real numbers are complex, but complex aren't necessary real

Uhhhhh yeah

that's a complex (non-real) number

2 by itself is real

Yup

6:57 PM

4

lol

ahahahah

lol

7:55 PM

just what are you man?

@Hjorthenify ok so... you have a friend.... who is kinda complex, but is neither real nor imaginary?

8:29 PM

Yah.... so basically make sure to google any computer parts you buy

LOL, I found like 5 youtube videos of this corsair PS I cancelled

everyone showing how loud the fan is

ouch

I've got a Corsair HX 650 and it's fine

also noticed mine has a spider on it atm ಠ_ಠ

nice and warm in there because the spider disabled the fan for heat

also thats why its so quiet

haha

was the CS750m

:(

iirc, Corsair uses the same parts as Seasonic?

8:34 PM

Dunno

I ordered an Antec

remember reading it years ago, might've changed maybe

@Chris :D

I don't see him anymore, was just a little jumpy one

probably slipped back into the unit

Take it apart and use canned air!

nah, I've got things to do :D

8:36 PM

and after you spray put on your sun glasses in a dramatic fashion and say something quirky... like "consider that, glasses your eviction notice"

lol

ಠ_ಠ

doing final testing today, then building and uploading and the like

several hours of gogogo mode

for?

Tallowmere?

8:39 PM

yea

What's new?

this guy:

looks obnoxious

though that's an old gif

the flying body parts no longer can stun you

but they can stun enemies :)

I stopped playing after the freaking tongue things

feelers?

8:42 PM

so you just raise your shield to deflect the initial explosion, and it's fun having the other enemies get stunned so you can whack 'em without worrying about getting hit for a few seconds

yeah the tongue mobs are the Feelers. I still think they're fine, just an extra challenge like anything else

Eh. I feel like they cool be a good late level addition.... they just got way too annoying and frustrating. Roguelikes should have some of that, but that passed my personal threshold. Not really a fault of the game, but meh.

yeah, Tallowmere doesn't really do that, was never in the scope to gate off the difficulty

"roguelike"

I died in Room 3 yesterday cuz I was up against 2 elites in a small space haha

lol

8:45 PM

I say it's roguelike-inspired, but leave it at that

rougue-lite

yeah

ooo this one is better

"procedural death labyrinths"

I tried that for a little bit, but it's too long

doesn't sound as cool :p

Doesn't sound as cool?!

8:49 PM

sounds like theres a monster truck announcer saying it in my mind everytime i read it

PROCEDURAL DUH-DUH-DUH-DUH-DEATH LABYRINTH!!!

Too many syllables

though announcers make everything more exciting

true

Ali.S

@Chris is it still selling, or did it slow down?

ok brb train time

Robot Roller Derby Disco Dodgeball - Official Trailer

this announcer ftw:

►

@Ali.S It's slowed down - last month was the slowest

I'll do a sale this month

bazola

9:06 PM

@Chris have you seen a lot of piracy on android

I have. Lots of search results

Yo Chris

You should do some DMCAs :P

It's a never-ending race

Not really worth my time, nor with my finances to hire a company to do it for me eh

heh true

9:21 PM

DMCA?

Digital Millennium Copyright Act takedown notice

unity has no DRM?

> A DMCA takedown notice is a notification to a company, usually a web host or a search engine, that they are either hosting or linking to copyright-infringing material. It provides them notice to remove the copyrighted works.

From www.whoishostingthis.com/resources/dmca/

9:37 PM

@Joe Unity's editor has DRM for its Pro license stuff. Games are up to the developer to implement their own stuff

there's an Application.genuine check supposedly, docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/Application.html

to see if things have been modified

but mehhhhh it just gets cracked anyway

and you look at shit like Ubisoft's UPlay

nobody likes DRM except for the greedy corporates

tbh they were probably never going to buy it anyway, take it as free advertisment

exactly

they share it round with their friends, word spreads one way or another

indeed :D

there's a lot of intangible value

I remember Skyrim came out I torrented it to try it out, after a couple of months I went and bought it

Other games ... I never would have paid for regardless

9:40 PM

plus when you're releasing your game DRM-free on certain outlets, is a bit silly to have DRM versions elsewhere

Yeah aha

heh

Paid for a song on iTunes for the first time yesterday

:P I buy a few albums here and there, I'm not much of a music buff

Well, I realised that other than 1 CD I've never paid for any music ... and considering I work for a music tech company that feels bad xD So I went and got an iPod and I'm slowly filling it with legal content

9:42 PM

I need to figure out a way to stream some music for free

youtube

Needs to be headless, preferably

friends spotify

apple music trial

:/

I'd like something sustainable :P

spotify do let you stream some for free :)

9:44 PM

Yeah, but I have this RasPi sitting around that I want to make into a headless media center for my room

Can't do that without Premium

because Spotify doesn't have a release for ARM except for if you have premium

Well, why not just download the songs you want on it?

and damn

That's what's going to happen

You need an API key for any non-spotify-signed versions

and you can only get that if you have premium

these days I just upload all my songs to Google Play Music

plus copies on Dropbox for backup purposes

but Play means I don't have to have physical copies anywhere... except for my phone when I'm out and about if I don't wanna eat up cellular data

Anyone want to help me assemble some music?

Meh, Apple isn't going anywhere anytime soon so I think my music is safe with them for a while :P

@Pip "assemble"

9:46 PM

Apple Music is horrid, but iTunes Store is fine

@OMGtechy As in "to gather together in one place for a common purpose"

I have a friend who really likes Apple Music for whatever reason

ah I thought you mean "can someone tell me where to get some illegal content"

Ah, no

Well.... kind of. I'm going to use YouTube :P

I just need a list

basement jaxx

fatboy slim

ed sheeran

Pastebin it :P

9:48 PM

the cat empire

NO :P

caro emerald

eminem

queen

I dunno, for me, Apple Music subscription, I click "Start radio" and then nothing happens. Doesn't even let me search Apple Music from the search bar, only lets me choose My Music and iTunes Store, it's really poorly integrated

Oh god no rap

@Chris teh hax

@Pip not your thing?

Nope, not at all

Haha I remember the "Weapon of Choice" video

I liked Eminem in the 90s and 00s

then I grew up :\
