Q: Cooperative multiplayer iPhone games

Most online games on the iPhone like Letterpress or Carcassonne pit players against each other. Apart from DrawSomething, are there games where the players cooperate against the game mechanic or co-create something? Preferably turn-based games and not action-oriented games. Also preferably games ...

Q: Do the Walking Dead poop?

Regarding the TV show (possibly the comics) there are many instances where the walking dead are encountered eating their fill and one (2nd season) where one was opened up and a woodchuck was found in it's stomach. This shows the digestive tract must still work. Where is all the zombie poop? And ...

GnomeSlice

WHY THE HELL IS IT DOING THIS.

user2334

Because the Walking Dead don't poop, that's why.

Wipqozn

@GnomeSlice Do you know how CSS works?

You probably have a conflict.

Also, it's possible you don't have a conflict and the CSS just hasn't refreshed yet.

@MarkTrapp Seems like an ideal message for an out of context star.

user15026

user2334

It's applicable to all of life's lessons, really

GnomeSlice

@Wipqozn As far as I can work out, I don't. And my CSS refreshes instantly.

Wipqozn

@GnomeSlice Some browsers cache it, so it can be annoying.

GnomeSlice

I've been trying to fix this for like 20 minutes. I fixed it just now, but I had to re-write the border colour in the 'visited link' css

@Wipqozn I said it's not that.

I can take out what I just did to fix it and it goes back.

#navbar a:link{
width:175px;
display:inline-block;
/*color: #B0A688;*/
margin:0 1em;
padding: 0px 30px 0px 30px;
text-decoration: none;
background-color:#FFF;

border-left:5px solid #635B43;
border-top:5px solid #635B43;
border-right:5px solid #635B43;
}
#navbar a, #navbar a:visited {
color: #B0A688;

border-color:#635B43;
}

TylerShads

10:48 PM

@agent86 im in joizey BEYOTCH

GnomeSlice

If I don't put the border-colour back in the 'visited link' area, the border around my links is the colour of the 'visited' text.

Wipqozn

@GnomeSlice: tl;dr: The css applied to an element is based on priority, which is based on other factors. I'm too lazy to go into all the details. But the most important thing is ID > CLASS

GnomeSlice

And it sholdn't be.

Q: not able to sell items Borderlands 2

I can't seem to sell any items to vendors. I have been trying to figure it for a couple of days now. Any help would be appreciated.

borderlands-2

Wipqozn

@MarkTrapp huh, interesting. TIL.

GnomeSlice

@MarkTrapp I don't want the border colour to change. It's supposed to be the same colour all the time.

But if I don't put the border colour in the 'visited' area as welll, teh border comes out as the same colour as my visited text

Even though I clearly defined colours for the border in the navbar element

The border comes out as #B0A688 instead of #635B43

Which... it shouldn't.

fbueckert

Grenades are my new best friend against Reticulans.

GnomeSlice

Why the hell is it doing this

user2334

10:51 PM

@Wipqozn more info. Firefox was the first, but all major browsers followed suit

Wipqozn

@MarkTrapp Yeah, makes sense. I was just unaware they started doing that.

GnomeSlice

Why is my 'color' property affecting my border colour

Wtf

Honestly, if I take OUT the 'color' too, so that the visited link text are the default purple, the BORDER turns purple

user2334

@GnomeSlice Because it's by design due to aforementioned reasons. You can't do what you're trying to do.

GnomeSlice

@MarkTrapp What m I trying to do, then.

I did what I'm trying to do in my last assignment.

The border shouldn't change colour.

user2334

Reduce the test case: jsfiddle.net/9nbzt

GnomeSlice

10:55 PM

But for some reason the border colour is the colour of my visited text, and not my border-colour which I identified in the navbar.

user2334

Oh

user2334

I see what you're trying to do

user2334

It's because your border color is in a:link. Remove the :link pseudo class

GnomeSlice

@MarkTrapp I don't want the border for the entire navbar though, just around the links.

user2334

CSS works best and least quirkily if you don't add random stuff you don't need until you absolutely need it. Do you understand what the :link pseudo-class is for? If not, remove it

user2334

10:58 PM

Compare jsfiddle.net/9nbzt to jsfiddle.net/G32pr

GnomeSlice

@MarkTrapp Isn't it for the hyperlinks?

user2334

Remove it and see what happens

James

@MarkTrapp Do I correctly assume that :link would not show for anchors?

(If I have that terminology right :))

GnomeSlice

Oh wait, 'a' is for links, isn't it.

What the hell is the 'link' for then?

OrigamiRobot

I dont remember much about css, but I'm pretty sure hyperlinks are just 'a'

James

11:01 PM

Its also how you can put a location to browse to on a page.

like you see in wiki's a lot where titles can be linked to to jump to that section of the article

GnomeSlice

@MarkTrapp Hm, this didn't work.

user2334

a:link is specifically for unvisited links. Anything you put in there does not affect visited links, hence why the visited color does not change

OrigamiRobot

@GnomeSlice Never assume anything based on what something is named in any computer related thing.

GnomeSlice

This is what it looked like before.

This is what it looks like when I made the 'link' thing more general to just 'a'.

Oh fuck, no it isn't.

I made a typo.

It works now.

Okay, thanks, I didn't realize 'link' was only for unvisited links.

I haven't even started the actual PHP part of this yet...

FML

user2334

Now, going back to the security thing I mentioned before, you might notice that even though a:link had the borders and a:visited did not, and a:link is only for unvisited links, the visited links still had the border. That's because browsers prevent you from changing anything other than the color of visited links, so because you had a border on the unvisited links, your visited links also had it

GnomeSlice

11:07 PM

@MarkTrapp Right, but why didn't they have the colour of the border I defined?

Shouldn't they have had the border from the unvisited links, in the same colout as the border of the unvisited links.

If I added 'border-colour- to my 'visited', it looked okay.

user2334

because that color was only defined for a:link, i.e., unvisited links. Since you can style the border, just not the layout, of visited links, it didn't inherit it

GnomeSlice

It just wasnt a great fix.

@MarkTrapp Ohhh, so links don't inherit from type to type

user2334

In conclusion, your antics have lead you down the path to a very edgy corner case

GnomeSlice

Okay! :)

@MarkTrapp What?

Which corner case is that?

user2334

a:visited inheriting styles from a:link due to a security issue

GnomeSlice

11:10 PM

@MarkTrapp It wasn't inheriting anything, that's why it wasn't working.

I just re-set the visited border colour to the one I wanted, which is why that sort of worked.

user2334

@GnomeSlice It was inheriting everything except the color. If it wasn't inheriting anything, it wouldn't have had a border at all, because you defined the border in a:link

GnomeSlice

@MarkTrapp Oh... that's weird.

Just out of curiosity

#navbar a, #navbar a:visited {
	text-color: #B0A688;

	/*border-color:#635B43;*/
}

Do I want that one to be both 'a' and 'a:visited'?

Nope.

user2334

If you want the color to always be that even when someone has visited it, sure

GnomeSlice

Since I have an 'a' now.

I guess that was my 'a' before.

@MarkTrapp So now I don't have an unvisited thing, what are my unvisited links going to look like? Just the CSS from the navbar a?

user2334

@GnomeSlice Exact same layout as a or a:link, but use the browser-defined color for visited links

user2334

11:13 PM

Which is usually purple

GnomeSlice

@MarkTrapp I don't have a link anymore though. And will my unvisited links be purple then? Whatever, I'll just leave it as a and visited.

user2334

Actually, well, the behavior is undefined. Some browsers will default to the default, others might just inherit from a

user2334

@GnomeSlice yes, do that

GnomeSlice

What the hell, my text is black, not the colour I listed.

Nevermind, typo

ffs

@MarkTrapp Thanks. =]

Okay, now I need to try to figure out the actual PHP bit

(i.e. the main part of the assingment). I'll finish styling it later.

Every time I've successfully used panic psi attach on alien, the alien shot back at my psi-soldier and every time hitting him. I'm not sure if I'm just unlucky or it's the way the game mechanic works? Is it a glitch?

This suggested edit is part of a tag wiki/tag wiki excerpt suggestion. The tag wiki excerpt suggested was bad, and the tag wiki suggestion is also bad, but would make a suitable excerpt

Q: How Do I Get Out of a Breaking Point Submission?

I haven't played WWE '12 and the instructions for WWE '13 are terrible. There is also no in-game interactive tutorial, so I'm lost as to how I can get out of a BREAKING POINT submission once someone puts me in it.
