GnomeSlice

I wanted to do some work earlier but now I don't feel like it

Chippies

yes! I was gonna type Frank, but saw you type OrigamiRobot and I typed that instead

therefore it's all your fault

Grace Note

@OrigamiRobot I was about to ask what that was named again since it'd been so long, but then I realized that this is far back enough that there would be a title bar with the name.

@Chippies It's ok, I'm sure lots of people instinctively type my name. I'm so popular.

That's stupid.

Origami Robot

I'm not sure how you didn't know that...

Frank

@OrigamiRobot How was I supposed to know that?

I wonder if there's a modern equivalent to Kye

Origami Robot

It's in the very beginning of the patch notes

SaintWacko

@Frank Wow, they really are throwing a tantrum

@OrigamiRobot is that a permanent thing?

@Frank that gem sold really fast and I only now realized how huge the AH tax is. Sold for 8mil, received 6.8mil :x

Besides, it's mostly likely harder than actually beating it.

Kevin van der Velden

@Yuki yes, I've got 90% of it working, I'm now trying to figure out how to build a tree of possibilities

Frank

There. Kulle killed, and he didn't even have the grace to drop a yellow.

MBraedley

@KevinvanderVelden probability makes writing the AI more difficult. If the game were deterministic, building the tree would be easy

Kevin van der Velden

@MBraedley jeah, I'm going for a probabilistic AI, best out of N attempts (where N is currently 3)

Q: What are the advantages/disadvantages of each class?

There are 4 different classes to choose from at the beginning of the game. The classic Fighter-Mage-Thief trio, and the special Jew class. Is your choice really game changing? Is the Jew really special? I started as a thief, but I can use "magic", and pretty much all weapons and armors.

var value = Math.random() < 0.9 ? 2 : 4;

this.grid.insertTile(tile);

That's the one! Kinda

MBraedley

@RonanForman yeah, that's what I mean. It's only in the late game that it seems deterministic

Kevin van der Velden

@MBraedley it's not, there's just not enough space to make it seem random

MBraedley

9:24 PM

@KevinvanderVelden but I don't seem to see as many 4s in the late game.
