some day....
 
John McDonald
John McDonald
All I need is more toolkits and technologies, then this project will complete itself!
j/k
 
Lasse
Lasse
lol
well if you can use git you can really easily deploy to heroku
it's their advantage, the ease of use
it's costing a metric crapton of money to host anything there, but at least it's easy
compared to hosting own servers, that is
 
John McDonald
John McDonald
yeah. I just have to think about how I want the information to flow
It's effectively a turn-based game that doesn't require a whole lot of communication
The original thought was to make everything in JS, have one of the clients run the game, and all of the other clients would connect directly to this client and send/receive their actions. Done

too bad p2p does not work
on browsers
 
John McDonald
John McDonald
yup

can always do the downloadable version :P
 
John McDonald
John McDonald
I could always just make a small PHP page pick up POST requests and toss them in a DB, then everyone would poll the page to get the game status
But web!
I really need 0 graphics, but layout will be nice
and HTML does that

What's the minimum required to make a request? I'm getting 400 bad request when trying to make a HEAD request.

@William'MindWorX'Mariager A lot of smaller websites are on hotels (the same IP), so you need to send the host name

"Host" seems like a silly attribute to add until you think about servers that host many sites
 
William 'MindWorX' Mariager

Part of the course
The walled part required AI+sensor control
 
John McDonald
John McDonald
Neat, what's it do?
 
William 'MindWorX' Mariager
William 'MindWorX' Mariager
It lifts blocks for the "stack three block challenge", it drives around for the "race challenge" and it does a very futile attempt at navigating the walled part. :P
I blame the sub-par sonic sensors.

At least I actually coded something this weekend :)

Nice
A long time ago, I competed in the Western Canadian Robot Games in both the walker triathlon (speed, obstacles and turning), and the Fire-Fighting robot competitions.
None of these are my robot, it's a pretty cool competition. There's a pre-set maze that everyone knows before hand, a set starting location, and the fire can be set in any of the 4 rooms. Fastest of 3 times wins.
I should mention that both of these competitions are autonomous
Alright: Networking nixed, dumb AI in

@hasherr @Pip @Lasse - Server is back now, and I've learned I cannot run this thing on my laptop. Something made it turn off entirely...maybe it crashed, I dunno.
so I have to figure that out

Sounds good. Are you guys still in that jungle?
 
Lasse

Did it revert again?
 
Icy Defiance

I'm checking now, but it shouldn't have
I have an autosave and autobackup plugin

@hasherr we have moved out of the jungle to new base, and we have already moved out of that base too

Icy Defiance
Icy Defiance
@hasherr well I got OptiFine working, but it seems to have dropped my fps by 10 instead of improving it. you can try it if you want though, see if it helps. download the 1.4.6 version here (optifine.net/downloads.php) then put the zip file into your [ftb]/MindCrack/instMods folder. don't unzip it or anything, just put the whole file there.
 
hasherr
hasherr
How the hell did it drop it?
 
Icy Defiance
Icy Defiance
well it adds some pi graph to the F3 menu, so maybe it's only dropped when I have that open. I dunno.
even after being dropped it's still 35 fps, so I can't really tell
oh wait no, now it's back up where it was. I blame the rain.
 
Alex M.
Alex M.
oh man, about that 8core and 1gb of ram romanian phone I was talking about yesterday
I realized the "add $X where X < 60 more and you get the nexus 5" example wasn't good enough
considering how few apps use 8 cores, you'd get the same usage experience from a moto g with the same amount of ram but a quad core
... that costs $160 less
the phone simply has no place on the market
there's like no actual reason to buy a 8-core phone with 1gb of ram
 
Icy Defiance
Icy Defiance
6:48 PM
there's little enough reason to have an 8-core desktop
but it sounds impressive. maybe people will buy it for that.
 
Alex M.
Alex M.
yeah I'm sure some will
it also has a shitload of other useless features that are meant to impress
like a "rotating camera"
on par with the heartbeat sensor on the galaxy s5
I have a key for Broken Sword 2, does anyone here want it?
broken sword are amazing adventure games
with a pixar or disney movie-level atmosphere
in terms of quality
but are very mature
they're basically detective stories

Five years ago lol

O.o a new stranger
 
Icy Defiance
Icy Defiance
it's more hidden now than it used to be
that changed a few months ago
before there was a link right on the top bar of any SE site. now it's just inside a menu on that top bar.
not that anyone actually looks at either the top or bottom bar of any website unless they want to get something more out of the site for some reason

Yay, ordered my first part for my computer

once you're putting them together, I was told to take the mobo out of its box and set it on top of said box. then plug things into it there. then it doesn't matter what surface the box is on.
 
hasherr
hasherr
Well the mobo box is anti-static
Or something like that
That's what you use when you're initially making your external build

I have the very beginning of a suite of small games. right now you can select solitaire from a menu, and then it deals cards. and...that's it.
 
Lasse
Lasse
I've only just started the project
but yeah good idea
I also got a deferred rendering engine project
What the rules would be? Do future features count or should it only highlight the current features? :D
 
Alex M.
Alex M.
this could also be continuous
 
Lasse
Lasse
Because my engine would support everything
 
Alex M.
Alex M.
@Lasse should we keep it time-limited or just make a question that lets you show off your work at any time?
 
Lasse
Lasse
How would you time limit it?
 
Alex M.
Alex M.
7:53 PM
not sure, like the most voted project until some date wins
making it continuous would mean users could just update their meta post at any time with new info
we could also make an ad for it
like "GD.SE homemade projects!"
"Click here. Now."
 
Lasse
Lasse
I think continuous would work better
 
Alex M.
Alex M.
yup, me too
@Noctrine do you think this is fine?
or is it spam according to the rules?
 
Pip
Pip
it sounds cool
 
Lasse
Lasse
It would work as awesome publishing platform to some extent
But as it is continuous, what if the projects die
And nobody bothers to update that to the post
Would it be annual then?
 
Alex M.
Alex M.
not sure it will be much of an issue; I think we could just tell users to flag projects that are dead or sth
 
Lasse
Lasse
7:58 PM
How about "the best projects of the year" and people vote them up

I'm using the NotEnoughMods list, and working with the authors to bring in the features I need.
But right now it features browsing mods by list.
With links and comments shown.
I also have the mod index list included I generated.
It's a way of looking at mods without considering versions.
It should help facility updating between versions.
I also have a few other ideas for it.
Anyways, heading to bed :P Cya
