welp, I've just started and already my ECS architecture is a huge mess

^ when you figure this out let me know :D

Diagrams are for managers

I found using diagrams to lay out some of my more complex architecture tasks helped

yah, but I don't make diagrams

the BAs can do that bullcrap :)

Man, what is happening to Canada... frig

what you mean

Hey Everyone! :D

I realized what my problem is trying to install python

It wasn't Haskell

hey

Apparently my MSI database is messed up

Time to edit my registry files again

Harper is trying to pass this anti-terrorism bill, that is super vague

:(

Says shit like "general terrorist activities"

They are saying that, if passed, no one will be able to oppose his Pipeline, since it is a key infrastructure of Canada now

Saying that if you pro-actively are against the pipeline, they can legally investigate your entire life

We are basically getting fucked up the ass by a sonofabitch

Think about the fact that there was 160Billion dollars invested in those tar sands, you can more than likely understand his reasoning behind all this bullshit

He is looking out for his pals, the corporations... while slashign their taxes, essentially taking from the middle class, and giving to the rich

I'm so sick of it -- why the fuck did everyone vote for him . ugh

whos this Canadian John Kerry?

All i see is a big stinking turd

so yes

policyalternatives.ca/publications/monitor/…

Read up on it if you are interested...

Anyone here know of a good political/nation simulation game?

Every person who, by communicating statements, knowingly advocates or promotes the commission of terrorism offences in general—other than an offence under this section—while knowing that any of those offences will be committed or being reckless as to whether any of those offences may be committed, as a result of such communication, is guilty of an indictable offence and is liable to imprisonment for a term of not more than five years

Think more democracy 3 than simcity

That is verbatim from the bill

How vague is that? like how is that even a legal document?

@OMGtechy Democracy 3

oh lol

ahaha

wait, that wasn't on purpose? xD

no it wasn't :P

I got it! Democracy 2!

ahaha

:D

Tropico?

@Jon that doesn't look very vague to me, except for the definition of terrorism itself. republicans love to call everything terrorism.

> The Geo Political Simulator Series is is considered the highest standard of the Political Simulator Genre. If you're looking for a Political Simulator and you haven't tried it yet, then it comes highly recommended. Once you've played Geo Political Simulator, it becomes the golden standard to which you hold all other Political Simulators to. Democracy 3 is a childs sandbox compared to great vast and unforgiving desert that is the Geo Political Simulator.

as per the law, just by stating what I wrote here, would make me a criminal

According to Steam, Geo Political Sim @OMGtechy

@Pip just looking at that now, we ended up on the same psot it seems :P thanks

I could incite a riot in the country opposing the bill

@OMGtechy :D

@Jon there's some legal precedent for the "reckless" term there, like "reckless endangerment" laws. those laws aren't applied every time someone gets hurt anywhere, though it does give a lot of business to whoever makes the wet floor signs, lol.

or I guess I'm thinking about US laws, not canadian

I don't want my personal information snooped into by some random private company

Just because I have an opinion

agreed there

Not much is stopping them if this bill passes

They can make up any bullshit story to get access to anyone's information

Quite frankly, I think he wants to use it to suppress protesters

He has a really strong stand against anyone who opposes him

@Almo that nerf to smite is actually the least bad nerf to junglers since preseason started. and in a vacuum, it probably would have made sense. problem is, very few junglers can actually survive the jungle as it is now, and the best of them didn't really need that smite, so it's just a nerf to junglers like udyr who were already struggling a lot.

in the same patch, they added a cost to switching smite types, which is also a nerf to junglers who were already struggling. sejuani, for example, needed the aoe smite to farm well with, then she switches to chilling smite once she's able to gank more often. can't do that now.

This is one of the big differences between LoL and Dota

Valve does some stupid things, but they try not to piss so many people off

so the viable jungle pool puddle is down to vi, j4, rek'sai, and (situationally) shaco. ww can survive the jungle but he's only so much use in team fights. sejuani is still usable, but only because her ult is so strong in team fights. she'll be way behind everyone else because she kills things so slowly, so she won't be able to fight without her team close by.

oh and lee sin, but only after you learn the micro needed to not get executed when playing him

before preseason, there were at least 3x that many viable junglers

riot keeps parroting "jungle diversity" and reducing that diversity with every single patch

lol

@Pip hard to piss off that many people if your userbase is small.

ooooohhh

gniam gniam gniam

how did that have so many downvotes?

youtube people are insane. do not attempt to understand them, or you may be drawn into their madness.

except for berta lovejoy. she's hilarious.

@Almo lol

FUCK YES

righton pip

yea boooi

what was it? im saying lol what was the problem to your weird paths

pathfinding with obstacles

@SpartanDonut lookee

@Joe Don't know, I totally redid my all of the pathfinding stuff

it's like 400% faster too

uses a minheap now vs an unsorted list

much better

nice

oh man -- some people's brains

woa

I'm thinking... is he scratching the paint with that thing?

@Jon I changed your minheap a bit to reflect the non-use of Unity

and some other misc changes :D

I can link it to you if you want to see

Binary Heaps are way better when it comes to pathfinding

you should say they're "heaps better"

hey guys, I was wondering, how do I set a texture2d object without using the inspector?

set it to what

e.g in my script I initialize it like public Texture2D cursorTexture = null;

then I want to load the resource and set it to the texture/cursor I have

to the path

without using inspector

ok just a sec

Texture2D _atlasTexture;

_atlasTexture = Resources.Load<Texture2D>(name);

@Almo lol

where name is just a string name of the texture to set

@Almo yes

@KalaJ in what tools?

is string just the name of the file?

that's C# code, BTW

should be

that's fine

it's the name of the texture

I'm using Unity3d and C#

like if it's "mytexture.png" then name = "mytexture"

yup that's what I meant

thank you

I'll give it a try

it knows from the <Texture2D> what to look for

if you have a problem, then try adding the .png, but I don't think you need it

ok but best practice wise, should I put this in start()?

@Pip ah you used my code?

most of it :D

Only for the minheap tho

@Pip you redid your whole pathfinding that quick? and you been debugging this for how long? lol

I spent like a week doing that

wasn't working because I was an idiot

that stuff happens

you know how there are producers, and then executive producers of television shows?

How come there are no executive programmers?

i want to be an executive programmer

@Jon because producers get their titles by supplying money and programmers do work

That was the pathfinding function before :P

that's the new one

much better :P

looks like mine

the original was perfect though :P

Return an empty list :D

@Jon read

public IList<Vector2> FindPath (Vector2 start, Vector2 goal)
{
    pathFound = true;
    ResetNodes ();
    var frontier = new MinHeap<T> ();

    T startNode = new T ();
    startNode.Pos = start;

    T goalNode = new T ();
    goalNode.Pos = goal;

    startNode.Goal = goalNode;
    frontier.Insert (startNode);

    cameFrom.Add (startNode, startNode);
    costSoFar.Add (startNode, 0);

    T current = null;

    while (frontier.Count > 0)
    {
        current = frontier.RemoveRoot ();
        Console.WriteLine ("Current Node: " + current.Pos);

sorry for SE code format

that's better

@Pip nice!

the proud feels

:D

:)

I've finished pathfinding for now, I think, moving on to actual caravans and towns next :D

hey @Chris

hi

@SpartanDonut my todo list for today

It's a start

I don't know how the game will work so that's about all I can say :)

:D

lol, messed that up

sup

hey

sup Jovito

Noice, I've got a new texture

Needs some smoothing, but looks fine for now

Guys!!!

I can see a fire from my window!!!

instagram.com/p/zlP4wiDVU_

oh no you're gonna die! i.imgur.com/z756abc.gif

it's on the news!!!

xD first time I see my town mentioned on the news

Ahaha IGN actually put School Days on a list of 'anime worth watching'.

(school days is widely regarded as one of the worst anime ever made)

isn't school days the one where a harem goes really, really bad and everyone dies, or something like that?

Basically this guy solves his problems by (literally) fucking the girl related to it and gets killed by them at the end.

ah okay

watch code geass

I started school days, and both the voice acting and animation was horrible, so I dropped it after just one or two episodes

it's worth watching

Oh man done so much stuff today :D

I think I'll watch Baccano.

@TheMuffinCoder pfft everyone who actually watches anime has seen that and death note.

Hasn't seen CodeGeass

D:

well Baccano is great too, so you can watch that first

but eventually, watch code geass, lol

(actually, I think I watched the first two episodes)

code geass's story develops a little slowly, but eventually it gets incredible. the second half is what really makes the series amazing.

kind of the opposite of death note, lol

stein's gate, attack on titan, and gintama are usually my next recommendations. I know you've seen the second one though.

time for a badly drawn question

thats beautiful

if I want to figure out what position B is in from A

like, B is north east, or about 0.125f

is there a math function like this, or any suggestions?

pythagoras

reading

note that coordinates don't have to be "horizontal" and "vertical"

you could have X be an angle and Y be radius

store it in a Vector2 just like normal

I made Dave do that once. Those were fun times... lol

yeah, A and B are Vector2s really

Whoooo I just did a huge refactor :D

ohh so you have A and B as positions, and you want to figure out where it is on the circle?

yeah that sounds right

just subtract the components

not quite

so if A is 0,0

and B is 1,1

I want something that tells me it's north east, or a circular 0..1 notation or even 0..360

Distance = Vector(mod(VectorB.x - VectorA.x), mod(VectorB.y - VectorA.y))

that won't give an angle, Jovito

true

@SpartanDonut Welp, I'm up to 2835 lines :D

you want arctan

working on the math now

@Chris that's surprisingly easy actually. I think you can plot a point at the 0 degree mark (by getting the radius by subtracting the components then getting the Length) then do a little math

or do what Icy said

vec2 relB = B - A;
float angle = arctan(relB.Y / relB.X);
float radius = relB.Length;

I think that will do it

lemme try

and then you can divide the circle on eight parts and assign a cardinal direction to each

the angle will be in either degrees or radians, so you'll have to normalize that if you want it in 0-1 format

Icy's solution is better :D

Envio is starting to get pretty big. I broke the 2k barrier, level up!

Up to 2835 lines now

Total current, not total written

that's a lot more ofc

suddenly, you figure out the first 500 lines don't scale like you expected and now you have to overhaul the entire thing ._.

lol

I've been making tweaks like that on and of

and here I am just playing league all day

I did a HUGE refactor around 1.6k-1.8k LOC

Like... took weeks

It took maybe 20 hours to do that

Super happy with the work today

I think I broke 1k LOC today

whohoo

@Pip confession. I give no shits about LoC :P

but good work

@IcyDefiance thanks, my implementation seems to have either side be between -1.5 and 1.5

idc, achievement for me :D

thanks

Anyone uses any software to keep track of the amount of work that gets done on a daily basis?

Nope, just VCS (version control software)

if I make any progress by the end of the day, I back it up and say hey, I did something at least

I personally use Git

I've been much more productive since I found out about this: codeivate.com

I find if I try to track my progress with anything, I end up focusing on crappy goals like "write 500 loc" instead of actually solving problems.

given, it might prevent me from playing league... XD

haha
