Jochem's pretty decent on a lot of days too, but sometimes hit or miss.

ElfSlice

@MechanicalLoon By the way, I tried Hero Siege on Android.

SaintWacko

@RedRiderX This is also really fun

ElfSlice

It uses virtual control sticks. Not the best on a tablet, but it's okay.

Sconibulus

I'm thinking about getting my brother Payday 2, good idea?

Powerlord

@KevinvanderVelden Fine. stabs @OrigamiRobot with his knife

FAE

9:01 PM

I am inherently bad at strategy, which makes a lot of games an exercise in frustration for me, and I'm often too busy trying to focus on making sure my own endgame is even going to work out to be able to focus on what others are doing, so I miss stuff.

@Sconibulus Does he like co-op FPS games and would he have enough people to play it with?

Kevin van der Velden

@Powerlord he's a robot, you'll never get through... oh wait, paper robot. Yeah that'd work.

Powerlord

@KevinvanderVelden If he were a normal robot, I'd just use the electrosapper.

Sconibulus

@FAE I know he really liked Army of 2, and he liked games like Halo

I think he'd have people to play with, he's far more social than I

@ElfSlice How's it play?

ElfSlice

9:04 PM

@MechanicalLoon It's not bad actually. The virtual sticks are a little awkward on the tablet but once you get used to them they're okay. Seems to run fine for me too. Plus the Android version appears to be free

Kevin van der Velden

@badp A WILD KALINA APPEARS > RUN

OrigamiRobot

@Powerlord I DON'T RUN ON ELECTRICITY.

badp

@KevinvanderVelden ABORT ABORT ABORT

FAE

@Sconibulus It's a bit less straightforward shooty and more strategic than just "run and gun", though you can play that way. It just may be a bit more frustrating to do so. There's objectives and stealth sections and such. It's also got classes and leveling.

Kevin van der Velden

@OrigamiRobot which is why he isn't using the electrosapper, we all know you run on spite

Sconibulus

9:06 PM

@FAE I've seen lots of people in here excited about it, and while it didn't seem like I thing I'd like, you guys seem to like pretty decent games

Ullallulloo

@KevinvanderVelden @Wipqozn's tears*

Kevin van der Velden

@Ullallulloo aah right, spite is the lubricant

FAE

@Sconibulus If you're sure he'd have enough people to play it with (it's a 4 person co-op game, the AI's... not that great), I'd say go for it. I enjoy playing it a lot with friends.

Kevin van der Velden

I shall play it! And then go to bed

ElfSlice

@JasonBerkan If you actually want Skydrift, you can get it for like $2 for 10 more hours. It's redeemable via Steam.

Jason Berkan

9:26 PM

@ElfSlice Unfortunately, I so don't want it. That game would result in the destruction of a controller and possibly a wall and/or window.

@KevinvanderVelden I'M WONDERING IF MAKING THE LEDS BLINK IN SEQUENCE WILL GIVE ME A NICE GLOWING COALS EFFECT

Oh!

OrigamiRobot

LIKE WITH A DECADE COUNTER

Powerlord

I feel like I could take a nap.

Except I'm still at work for another 50 minutes.

Kevin van der Velden

@OrigamiRobot hmm could work, I think using a shift register and 2 pins (data+clock) and a simple software RNG would make a better effect

Braiam

@Powerlord take a 50 minutes nap?

Kevin van der Velden

9:41 PM

I've got a article from someone who reverse engineered a candle LED

That might be a nice thing to use

OrigamiRobot

@KevinvanderVelden SHIFT REGISTERS ARE CONFUSING

Powerlord

@Braiam Knowing my luck, my boss will come by to talk about our new Access (barf) project.

badp

@Powerlord wait what how why

Kevin van der Velden

@OrigamiRobot basically you set the data pin, then pulse the clock pin. Every value gets shifted one output pin up and the lowest output pin get's set to the value of the data pin.

Braiam

@Powerlord MS Access?

Jason Berkan

9:43 PM

@Braiam I think it's the combination of "new" and "Access" that is the issue here.

Powerlord

@badp I don't know the details yet, only that I'm been apparently volunteered to work on it. Keeping in mind that the last time I touched MS Access was at least half a decade ago, if not longer.

OrigamiRobot

@KevinvanderVelden I UNDERSTAND THE CONCEPT FINE. I MEAN ACTUALLY WIRING THEM

Kevin van der Velden

So 1010 with 1 input would become 0101, then adding in 1 would make it 1011

@OrigamiRobot ooh, that shouldn't be difficult, never done it though

Powerlord

Oh, and even better, it's an already existing project, so I also get to go through code someone else wrote in Access.

Kevin van der Velden

Go go gadget datasheet!

badp

9:44 PM

@Powerlord is the project to reimplement the Access API with a real database behind it?

OrigamiRobot

@KevinvanderVelden THAT'S WHAT MADE ME CONFUSED IN THE FIRST PALCE

Powerlord

@badp Ha, I wish!

Although it could be, since I don't (yet) have all the details.

Braiam

@JasonBerkan not if that Access has nothing to do with MS

Powerlord

I'd rather go back to work for DCH on the Electronic Transfer Order Request system (or whatever ETOR stands for) for the Bureau of Labs... which is written in Java against MS SQL.

That's what I was supposed to be doing way back in October, but somewhere along the line someone said "nope, we're not doing that." No clue if it was management over there or management over here that canceled that.

Kevin van der Velden

@OrigamiRobot this seems a pretty good writeup

@KevinvanderVelden I ALREADY HAVE THIS OPEN. I DIDN'T READ IT THOUGH BECAUSE IT'S DIFFERENT FROM THE SHIFT REGISTER I WAS LOOKING AT

Powerlord

@TimStone What kind of food thing?

Kevin van der Velden

@OrigamiRobot which one do you have?

Powerlord

9:49 PM

It's SAD that I have to specify "food" there to prevent people from answering "food" to the question.

Tim Stone

@Powerlord It's basically spicy shrimp with cheesey rice.

Powerlord

@spugsley What types of food stuff do you have?

OrigamiRobot

@KevinvanderVelden JUST A RANDOM DATASHEET. I JUST DON'T HAVE TIME TO RESEARCH AND LEARN RIGHT NOW. I'LL BE ABLE TO GIVE IT MORE ATTENTION WHEN I GET HOME

Question: Can I flag posts when someone talks entirely in caps all the time?

OrigamiRobot

@KevinvanderVelden OH, ARDUINO HAS A COMMAND FOR IT. I SHOULD HAVE KNOWN

spugsley

@Powerlord nothing really. I was thinking of ordering something or going to get something

Kevin van der Velden

@Powerlord discrimination! DISCRIMINATION AND SLANDER I say! You hate autocad users.

Powerlord

@spugsley Ah, OK... Clearly you should get some spins wheel Indian food.

OrigamiRobot

@Powerlord IF IT'S SERIOUSLY BOTHERING YOU, JUST IGNORE ME

Powerlord

9:54 PM

@OrigamiRobot IT IS ANNOYING. IF YOU DON'T BELIEVE ME, I CAN TYPE LIKE THIS TOO.

spugsley

@Powerlord no. You can't flag something just because it annoys you. That's not how flagging works

OrigamiRobot

DOESN'T BOTHER ME. AND IT WOULD ANNOY ME LESS IF I KNEW YOU WERE DOING IT BECAUSE OF THE SOFTWARE YOU WERE USING FOR WORK

Powerlord

@OrigamiRobot Considering that you could easily hit the caps lock to turn it off (since it's, you know, a toggle), but you choose not to makes me think you're just doing it to be a dick.

FAE

@Powerlord You lose efficiency.

OrigamiRobot

@Powerlord YOU HAVE OBVIOUSLY NEVER USED AUTOCAD

OR ANY OTHER PROGRAM WHERE YOU NEED TO TYPE IN ALL CAPS

Powerlord

9:57 PM

@FAE Technically you lose efficiency by using punctuation and capitalizing the first word in a sentence. But you do it anyway.

9:59 PM

@Powerlord You lose a lot though if you toggle the capslock key every single time you alt-tab.

@OrigamiRobot What kind of keyboard doesn't have lock status lights?!

OrigamiRobot

@FAE I'M NOT EVEN ALT TABBING EVERY TIME. I JUST LEAVE CHAT OPEN ON MY OTHER MONITOR SOME OF THE TIME.

Powerlord

@FAE It's a single keypress. Hell, I hit shift more times writing this message than it would take to hit caps lock every time I hit alt-tab.

OrigamiRobot

@Powerlord BUT IT'S NOT. IT'S A LOT MORE WHEN YOU FACTOR IN ALL THE STUFF I HAVE TO DELETE WHEN I REALIZE IM TYPING IN AUTOCAD IN LOWECASE

OR ALL THE STUFF I'D HAVE TO DELETE HERE WHEN I REALIZE I'M TALKING IN ALL CAPS

@Wandang Just post it here.

Wandang

then the system is flawed by default. if some themes are a gray area depending on pure individual opinions then they should not be touched in the first place

Q: Is programming, in a game, on topic here?

Sometimes, within a game you find programmable entities. A great example are the Turtles of Computer Craft, a minecraft mod. If I had a question about programming Turtles, or anything else that's programmable, WITHIN a game, is that on topic or off topic?

discussion allowed-questions

I still think your question was on-topic here

FEichinger

@Wandang Or you could make a meta Q and talk about it there. But complaining and throwing a tantrum about "all your flags" (we can't really verify the validity of the flags without references) getting "arbitrarily" declined is much easier, isn't it.

ElfSlice

10:38 PM

I am of the opinion that shit like that is perfectly on topic here because it's not about developing a game. I never got why people seem to keen to migrate shit like questions about in-game level editors to gamedev

Cool discovery of the day:

Geneva drive

The Geneva drive or Maltese cross is a gear mechanism that translates a continuous rotation into an intermittent rotary motion. The rotating drive wheel has a pin that reaches into a slot of the driven wheel advancing it by one step. The drive wheel also has a raised circular blocking disc that locks the driven wheel in position between steps. Background The name derives from the device's earliest application in mechanical watches, Geneva, Switzerland being an important center of watchmaking. The Geneva drive is also commonly called a Maltese cross mechanism due to the visual resemblanc...

@badp Also negative levels aren't even a thing!

Frank

Decisions aren't, "Well, maybe they don't want them, so I guess we'll answer them." Overlap and bleedthrough will happen on occasion, but they have nothing to do with whether or not a topic is or isn't on-topic here.

Mad Scientist

@Frank It certainly has, the existing policy is based on the assumption that Game Dev is a better place for this kind of question than Arqade. Of course the official, theoreticial policy is that other sites don't matter for the scope, but that is not really true in practice. We might intentionally limit our scope if we know another site can serve that aspect better, but we might also decide to keep it here if there is no such site
