Q: What are candies used for?

ScribblenauticalIn Don't touch the spikes, there are little orange candies to be collected. Is there any use for them, rather than just have them appear in the menu screen (The amount you've collected)?

 
Wonder how to get him...
 
@fredley Have real-job stuff have to do first, but soon
 
@KevinvanderVelden i guess 10 cooked things?
 
@Rapitor not sure, probably
 
I would guess so
 
3:01 PM
Anyway, off to home!
 
@Rapitor or wait, no you give it I think a hoe
It's always a tool
Cya
NO I AM NOT A ROBOT STOP MAKING ME WAIT CHAT
I'LL SPAM YOU IF I WANT TO DAMN IT

@KevinvanderVelden A robot, a videogame, same difference
 
@KevinvanderVelden Beep Boop
 
3:04 PM
bop bop
 
@KevinvanderVelden I AM A ROBOT AND I HAVE NO ISSUES
 
i'm just givin villagers stone tools of all types...
miner and builder done.
probably get a smeltery goin next.
just waiting on apples
 
For a text-based...this is pretty addicting
Half text/half text GUI
 
@RPiAwesomeness these types of games are
 
Whoa...320 apples...ouch
 
3:07 PM
@Batophobia one bit of feedback now that more time is in. the whole needing 10 to put into crafting box is pretty rough and makes the early game more tedious than fun. once you got villager slaves its better.
 
oh ho ho! I haz ze apprentice chef!
Aw yee. first gold ingot :D
 
DO BLACKSMITHS NOT CONTINUE TO GET ORE?
 
@OrigamiRobot They need you to get the ore, they will smelt it into ingots
 
You still need pickaxes separate
 
SO WHAT IS THE POINT OF TRAINING THEM FURTHER?
 
3:10 PM
@OrigamiRobot They either make better ingots or more at a time
 
@OrigamiRobot TrainSawLaser.
 
@Batophobia How does one aquire string?
 
@RPiAwesomeness Excellent question, I have no idea
would need to look through the code
Probably sword or something
 
dang....creepers is mean
 
> This afternoon, Crytek announced that they had downsized their Texas-based USA studio and moved development of the free-to-play co-op shooter Hunt: Horrors of the Guilded Age to their main offices in Frankfurt, Germany.

What they didn't say is that Crytek USA's senior staff, including studio head David Adams, quit over a week ago because they weren't getting paid, according to people familiar with goings-on at the company.
Sounds like Crytek is in serious trouble.
 
3:14 PM
you should make it so you can run, cause you sure can't beat creepers
 
@RPiAwesomeness Do you have armor?
 
@RPiAwesomeness Kill spiders
Or make a sword-villager
@RPiAwesomeness Diamond armour and sword, nothing can touch you
 
@Batophobia Yeah, leather....
+ iron sword
also, what good are zombie spawners?
 
@RPiAwesomeness killing lots of zombies
future expansion area
 
@RPiAwesomeness How did you get one of those?
 
3:19 PM
was thinking every 10 gets you something
 
@RPiAwesomeness fighter villager
 
Uh, is there anyways out of the temple labyrinth?
@fredley I found + explored a delta
Ah
FOund it
 
@Batophobia what good are chests?
 
@RPiAwesomeness I have explored the whole map, but didn't enter anything because the last time I did I got stuck (as in game-breakingly stuck) in a labyrinth
 
@fredley This has been fixed
 
3:23 PM
@fredley Yeah, I got out..
 
Oh, maybe I should refresh
 
@RPiAwesomeness It was broken, though. Some labyrinths had unreachable exits
@fredley File that one under good ideas
 
HOW DO I CHEF?
 
@OrigamiRobot Say "Hello, children!" when greeting people and talk about making love all the time.
 
IS IT WORTH IT TO GIVE THE BUILDER 10 IRON AXES?
 
3:31 PM
@OrigamiRobot Hoes
 
@fredley I think I did it: github.com/Batophobia/ClickCraft
 
@Batophobia dat emoji
protip: don't check in jquery
var rndm=batman(0,100);
wat
 
:P
batman is the name of my random(min,max) function
 
@Batophobia Also, dear god please learn OO programming.
 
@Batophobia ANSWER MY IMPORTANT QUESTIONS!
 
3:35 PM
@Batophobia All those case: statements make me sad
 
@fredley ? Explain
 
For the furnace you do something like if(block.burnable){ //burn }else{ //noburn }
@Batophobia As in you're doing everything by case statements on block ids. This is very unmaintainable because if you add a block you have to modify code in a dozen different places
@Batophobia By having a Block object which has properties like burnable which you set when you define it you don't have to do things like that
 
@fredley Wouldn't you still need the switch to determine what output you give?
 
enums will also help make the code a bit more readable. its just numbers errwher
 
@Rapitor That's partly by design to make it harder for chaty-facing
admittedly, not the best way to do it, but yea
 
3:38 PM
@Batophobia This is the wrong way to do that, put it in a closure
@Batophobia Have you seen our plans to make something similar this weekend? I'll show you how I do things differently...
 
@fredley Would love to see it
 
@Batophobia Dear god this labyrinth is insane
 
@SaintWacko It has my only comment though
 
Also for crafting, each block/item defines its own potential recipes, so you don't have to have acres of else if statements. You just do for block in blocks: if block.recipe == recipe: make block
 
@Batophobia What do you mean?
 
3:40 PM
Literally compress 100s of lines into about 5
 
@fredley In case you did not hear, my experience as a programmer has been less than beneficial
but hey, version control
@SaintWacko Removed all the comments from the code except for one, which is in the labyrinth code
 
@Batophobia I know. I'm quite keen to help you learn though. From this game you obviously have the talent, you just need to level up your skills a bit.
 
@Batophobia Oh, I see
So is the labyrinth always the same layout?
 
@fredley This is the single thing I have been craving for ...6 years now?
 
Object Oriented programming is very powerful, it's well worth investing some time learning.
 
3:42 PM
@SaintWacko Based on your level seed, yes
 
@Batophobia It's not even that hard. I can help you in terms of 'what to learn next' type stuff
 
@Batophobia Muahaha
 
Now these past two months aren't really representative, but my math says, on average, I draw 250W in my apartment. That seems like... a lot. The biggest contributor to my base load is probably my fridge, but it's basically brand new. Would it really draw upwards of 150W?
 
Good thing I mapped it!
 
@MBraedley off-topic: not about games
 
3:43 PM
@MBraedley Depends on the appliances.
 
now should your PC take 150W...
 
Computers in general don't pull much wattage.
Yeah, you'll have a 750W+ power supply, but there's no way it draws anywhere near that.
 
@Batophobia My computer is a gaming computer, and forms part of that draw from time to time, therefore, on-topic
 
@Frank THAT'S THE OUTPUT WATTAGE
 
@Batophobia Average! On average (when everything is working right), my computer only draws about 30-40W
 
3:45 PM
@fredley "Unfortunately the free "Level 0" accounts are only available to UK residents"
 
@OrigamiRobot Yeah. If it drew that much, there's no way I'd be able to run even a single computer in my house, let alone five.
 
@Batophobia See how I define my items here: github.com/fredley/warp-speed/blob/master/js/inventory.js See how all the potions have a drink function, so whatever potion I'm dealing with I can just say potion.drink() rather than dealing with ids and nonsense
@Batophobia Oh, lame
 
YOU'D HAVE TO TAKE OUT A SMALL LOAN TO PLAY A GAME
 
@Frank depends on hardware and load
 
36 secs ago, by Frank
@OrigamiRobot Yeah. If it drew that much, there's no way I'd be able to run even a single computer in my house, let alone five.
 
3:46 PM
@Frank when gaming, high end hardware can draw that much and more
but at casual usage of course it draws much less than that
 
@fredley Wow, this looks much nicer
 
@Batophobia Exactly
 
2 mins ago, by Origami Robot
@Frank THAT'S THE OUTPUT WATTAGE
 
@Batophobia I feel like when you die and then go back to adventuring, you should start at home again
 
I guess I'll backtrack and read the whole conversation...
 
3:47 PM
:P
 
@SaintWacko You don't?
 
I've only got a main breaker of...100 amps? I forget what unit of measurement breakers use.
 
@OrigamiRobot If my computer drew a full 750W while gaming, an hour of gaming would cost me about $0.10 in electricity.
 
STOP RUINING MY JOKES WITH YOUR FACTS
 
@Batophobia bug report: chef villager doesn't cook fish.
 
3:49 PM
@Batophobia Nope, I start wherever I died
Also, how many professions are there?
 
@Batophobia is there a way to produce planks automatically?
 
@Chippies builder villager (give a villager 10 axes)
 
@Rapitor does he also chop wood with those axes?
 
@SaintWacko 5 i think. builder, blacksmith, chef, explorer, and fighter.
 
and does he use my wood to make planks?
 
3:52 PM
@Rapitor That's all I've found
 
@Chippies both
 
@Rapitor thanks
 
chops, crafts, and crafts into sticks
i think
 
@SaintWacko Thanks for sharing, fixed for anyone that refreshes
 
@Batophobia Now commit that fix!
 
3:54 PM
@fredley Already done :D
 
Making small commits is good practice
 
@Batophobia does the game save automatically?
I wouldn't want to refresh and lose progress...
 
@Chippies Every 30 seconds to a cookie
If you have cookies disabled, then no it does not save
 
yee got obsidian.
 
I got my cookies enabled, so should be fine
 
3:55 PM
@Rapitor Now make an enchanting table!
 
i spose that's endgame
 
@Rapitor Endgame is somewhere on the map atm
 
hm. i shall
need more obsidian tho, only have like 4
 
getting enough sticks for 10 axes is soooo much clicking...
 
@Batophobia What on the map? I've explored the whole thing
 
3:56 PM
@fredley No enchanting tables, those are after cake
 
@Batophobia Thanks :D
 
@Batophobia shhhhhhh
 
@Chippies don't worry. the beginign of it is really slow and tedious. once you get builder villager it really picks up
 
@KevinvanderVelden and I spent ages!
 
@Rapitor I am very tempted to set up a left click spam macro just for the 10 axes...
 
3:57 PM
@Batophobia You should seriously make crafting 'pull' in more materials if more are available after clicking craft
 
@Chippies also if you use cobble its faster (a few wooden picks)
 
@Chippies Used to take longer. I made the Make Planks button do 1:1 conversion after crafting table is made
 
i.e. if there are enough materials in my inv to place another set in the crafting bench then do so
 
@Rapitor yeah, I use cobblestone, but the problem is making sticks
 
@fredley Thought about that. Also someone suggested a dropdown of discovered recipies
 
3:58 PM
@fredley that could work, but like right now i have 3.2k sticks and some 130k cobble.
 
@Batophobia Maybe terraria style 'click to make'
 
^
 
@Rapitor Is that a problem?
 
@fredley Nah, I like the crafting system idea
just needs a better way to make larger quantities
 
Ugh. Each labyrinth has a different layout?
 
4:00 PM
@SaintWacko yes
wouldn't want it to be too easy
 
@Batophobia Do different labyrinths have different loot tables?
 
@SaintWacko I think so

Q: I have a disc, and I'm wondering if I can get it on Steam

Jokemaster456321I have Portal 2, it's the disc, for the Xbox 360. I was wondering if I could install the game on Steam using that disc. It's hard to play on the Xbox sometimes, and the computer controls are much better. I've tried multiple ways, such as doing the "C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\Steam.exe" -install...

 
So here is my idea. I can make it so the crafting table keeps the items on it, but then has a cooldown before the next time you can craft
 
@Batophobia just make it short, like 200ms or half a second
 
4:04 PM
@Chippies Probably 500ms
 
it would be faster than putting the stuff back on the table, but not too fast to spam
 
@Chippies that's the idea
alright, I'll get started on that
 
@Rapitor he does not chop wood, since I gave all of my cobblestone pickaxes to the villager, I only have 1 wooden pickaxe and my wood reserves are actually going down
 
@Batophobia See what I did in speed warp
Crafting 'pulls', but there's also a multiplier box
js is sensible enough to gray-out button if you can't make that many
Your input method is much better than mine though
 
@fredley While a good idea, I still want this to sort of feel like minecraft
 
4:08 PM
@Batophobia In MC you can stack items in the crafting grid, and that's not so feasible here
 
@fredley Right but if the items remain set up, it's similar
 
@Batophobia Yeah
 
another idea for crafting @Batophobia, just leave the items in the crafting table after hitting craft if they have enough room. just add a clear table button.
was afk
 
@Rapitor This is what we've been saying to do all along!
 
neat.
lol
 
4:21 PM
wtf, I've got code that works in a shell but not on a server
UGH
 
SHIIIIIINY
Sadly, totally sold out.
 
I've got almost 2 million sticks
3.7 million bones though
 
@Batophobia Is there any point in fighting monster spawners?
Or is it just an infinite stream of enemies?
 
@SaintWacko See how long you can last?
 
@Frank Whoa, that's awesome
 
4:26 PM
Woo! MH4U will allow cross region multiplayer between North America and Europe!
 
eventually something will be added there
 
@Batophobia Okay, I didn't know if eventually you'd get loot
 
HALLOOOOOOOO
 
@fredley What language?
I mean, besides foul.

Q: Why is get_field_name_display() not working?

Tom MedleyI have some code that uses get_field_name_dispaly(). Here's what's going on: class Obj(models.model): CHOICES = ((0, 'Foo'), (1, 'Bar'), (2, 'Baz')) x = models.IntegerField(choices=CHOICES) description = models.CharField(max_length=200) ... obj = Obj(x=0) obj...

Much wtf
 
4:30 PM
Anyone who's interested in FF14, a two week trial period starts today.
 
@Frank aw damn
I was wondering if they made a phazon suit one
 
@BenBrocka They did, but they're all gone.
I am sad.
 
Alright, Crafting Table will keep your setup and remove the resources for it (if not enough, table is cleared)
Also updated the github
 
@Batophobia I went on an adventure and I can't return home, there's no home block anymore
 
??
@Chippies Did you cheaty face?
 
4:39 PM
@Batophobia no, but I died once
I died, then went on adventure again and no home anymore
 
I never run into a creeper when I want to
 
@Chippies Yup, that's totally a thing
I'll fix it
 
@Batophobia at least refreshing brought me back home
 
@Chippies fixed
 
4:44 PM
@Batophobia nice
@Batophobia is it worth giving same type tools to the villagers or do I need to give higher grade to level them up?
 
@Batophobia You broke teh githubz!
 
@Chippies they need higher to be better than they currently are
 
AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
 
@fredley it says all systems operational
 
I'M GETTING PAID FOR SOMETHING I WROTE
YESYESYESYESYESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS
first. time. EVER.
 
4:45 PM
@fredley "All systems operational"
 
@Batophobia so, giving same grade tools is just a waste? gahh
 
@Chippies Indeed
 
@Chippies Look at those web server response times though
currently I'm getting the doomicorn when I try and load pages
 
@spugsley Your new gravatar hits the primary image recognition filter for @Arperum.
 
@Frank I don't know what that means O-o
 
4:46 PM
@Frank wat
@Frank Get your eyes tested
 
@spugsley Your gravatar looks much like @Arperum's.
The tiny one, anyways.

Q: Can't see name tags

EmilyIn my minecraft, when it updated to 1.7.10, I havent't been able to see player's name tag on the top of their head when I'm playig multiplayer. Also, when I go to singleplayer, I can't see the name tags for my dogs either! I don't know if its a glitch or its in the new update.

 
@Batophobia Woohoo, found the "endgame"!
 
@Frank how can you see it and I can't? :(
 
@spugsley Your new gravatar?
 
4:48 PM
@SaintWacko You are the first that I've heard of
 
Kncok knock.
 
Well this is embarrassing https://vine.co/v/M0LJpJpgQ3I
 
@Michel who's there
 
@Batophobia if I gave villager a gold tool without giving iron, would it upgrade to master or experienced?
 
@Frank yeah :( It's still not showing up for me
 
4:48 PM
@Batophobia Doctor
 
@Michel Doctor Who
 
@spugsley Huh. Ctrl+F5?
 
@Batophobia :3
 
@Chippies He would go straight to Gold-tier
 
YAY
 
4:49 PM
@Batophobia ah, so I wasted a lot of iron for no reason :P
 
@Chippies good..good
 
@spugsley did you like the Milkshake photo yesterday?
 
@Michel yes it looked yummy!
 
xD
 
@Batophobia perhaps in the future update you could disable being able to give tools to villagers if they already are at that tier as well
 
4:50 PM
@Chippies Meh
 
@spugsley I'll make one for you, when I got the opportunity =)
 
@Michel :D
 
^.^
changing the subject ...
Anyone knows any info about MapleStory 2
I'm wondering if this will run in OSX >.<
 
@Michel I saw a trailer few months ago
 
@Michel what about ?
 
4:53 PM
@Michel seems extremely unlikely
 
i know about as much as the koreans.
except for dates
 
I saw a comment saying that it will
 
but, can't find thrustful source
 
does Maple one even run on osx?
 
4:53 PM
@Rapitor nope
 
i wouldnt expect maple 2 to run osx either
 
MS1 doesn't run on win8 and almost don't run on win7
 
@Michel it actually runs on both of those
 
I saw a lot of complains about that
 
the game is just so badly coded it might run on one config and not run on an identical other config
 
4:54 PM
welll it is like 10 years old without any major tech updates
runescape is stupid old too, but it gets consistent tech updates
 
I stopped on lv 92 a few years ago... and now I don't have windows anymore
 
Can't wait to try out the new smash bros :D
 
@Michel Figured you might want to check them out.
 
I have one lvl200, before they raised the cap
but that game is quite bad now
 
4:55 PM
@Frank Annnnnnd, you're right xD
 
it's pretty much an e-peen competition of who can spend more money nowadays
also, MS2 is going to be nothing like MS1, from what I've seen
 
@Chippies you are correct
 
@Frank when you're done, send me some more =3
MS2 looks more an upgraded Ragnarok1
 
@Michel I should be doing the preliminary building today. More pictures will be added this evening.
 
MS2 to MS1 is same as Ragnarok 2 is to Ragnarok 1
i.e it's nothing like the other :P
 
4:58 PM
@Frank That's REAL metal? o.O (I saw the "gold" comment)
 
@Michel Nope. Just gold chrome.
 
@Michel gold-plated plastic
at least that's what the descriptions say :P
