I'm now about $32 monthly for 15/3 I think is what it is
Was paying $55
So not quite $25 but I like nice numbers that end in 5s or 0s
I was getting angry seeing all the billboards for the great deals for new members while I'm sitting at home getting a full day outage what seemed like once a month, and just the other day I had to manually change my DNS settings to point to googles servers because my ISPs servers were not working
I'm not sure if this should go here or on the meta meta, but since it applies specifically to gamedev.stackexchange, I thought this a good place to start?

Oh yeah... hehe. For his recruit question my mind went immediately to creating classes to manage all of that information and completely skipped on the basics
i mean, there's all sorts of cool higher level things someone could do to solve his recruit question, but at this point, i think he needs a book on programming 101
based on the blog, he is a he. and i don't think he's a lost cause. but he does need to learn some of the basics.
i'm willing to bet he's a high school student or something, so i'm not going to comment on his writing ability or honestly programming ability (i couldn't really do either very well when I was in high school)
I'm actually confused because other questions of his include loops, inheritance, etc. I'm not understanding how he's getting tripped up on these problems?
he seems like a native speaker, or at least one with enough knowledge to understand and write English. i've talked to plenty of people who do struggle with English here, he doesn't seem like one.
I am making a console based strategy game like Genghis Khan: Legend of the White Wolf, although it is in console. How can I implement the Random Calculation in there? First off, the game goes like this, for example you have 34 Soldiers and the enemy has 45 Archers. Say you attack the Archers, nor...
@Chorche He was joking because you obviously haven't provided a link yet. Also a :P smiley is often a good sign someone is joking around with you and not meaning to be offensive.
Overall I like it - just some general user experience things that need tweaking I think
The text inside the circle is difficult to read, especially the with the clouds passing through
And then my only other major complaint is that the style is not consistent across pages. The home page, the Coming Soon pages, and the Visual pages all feel like different "themes" and I feel like it should be one theme
@Chorche Actually it looks very good, there's some minor issues with <td> and a </table> tag in the visuals page when there's not actually a table, and some minor things with the code itself, but nothing really bad or terrible or wrong.
Making the entire site fit one theme would be a good idea, though
@Jimmy I never thought I would enjoy writing a blog until I decided to start writing one. I don't write a lot, and I'm almost certain nobody reads it, but that's ok. It's for me, and me alone. I guess that was my first realization, it's only for yourself and to keep you thinking about what you have and haven't done, and it keeps you honest maybe?
@TreDubZedd yeah, some of my older posts were more useful in that regard. I've actually got 2 blogs going right now, one strictly for AO and small little updates, the "main" blog that contains only the big updates for AO and other stuff that is potentially more useful or interesting to a wider audience
@Jimmy ok, yeah, that could be an interesting post
There are many, but yeah, it's one that needs to follow. I was talking to a friend of mine in the biz, and I'm going to be doing some re-re-design soon
A lot of the questions currently on the site are things like "Give me a list of options for X".
There is a decent amount of precedence for these kinds of questions being discouraged on StackExchange style sites. For example, "Should we have a “List of X” close reason?". And on the meta gaming ...
@TrevorPowell heh, first it was re-design from Object Oriented -> Components, now it's from Components with all the logic baked in -> Components + Systems
the logic I was baking in was directly related to the data in the component. So a position component has a position + velocity, and it has an update that applies the velocity
@TrevorPowell yeah... some of it is starting to become a little clearer as I work through it
There are other advantages, like my Radius component needs to know about the Position component in order to tell whether it's intersecting with an other Radius
kind of like how in Skyrim, when something dies, the model gets detached from whatever scripted animation system and gets plugged into the ragdoll system
yeah... my friend just updates the positions from scripts, so instead of having a "PositionSystem", it's just a script that gets executed in the ScriptSystem
@Jimmy ah yeah, that's nice. So there's a bit of actor/pawn going on in the system layer, cool
@Chorche From earlier, but Steam is one, but hard to get into. Desura and IndieCity are probably the two major ones out there right now for small, indie projects
@Chorche I would bet it's impossible, unless there's a javascript way to modify the address bar without actually going to that address, but then that's just hacky
Is there any way I can modify the URL of the current page without reloading the page?
I would like to access the portion before the # hash if possible.
I only need to change the portion after the domain, so its not like I'm violating cross-domain policies.

i know, i know. the reason is that this method gives me full control over everything, instead of having to fight wordpress's billion styles when themeing something
@tylerrrr07 .. yeah.. I guess ASP can be a little more fun than PHP, but.. It's still web programming. Every time I do it, I feel like I'm fighting with the browser
@thedaian yeah, I used to do that all the time. Makes adding news a little more painless
I've been using Google Reader to consume my articles and keep up to date on a number of websites and blogs, and sadly it doesn't look like it's integrated into G+ yet
Ooo. We could go halfsies on the WeBuilder 2011 (One step up from Rapid PHP from the same company) since if you buy that you get a second license free! $70 suddenly became $35! Who's in?! :P
I don't understand the site and I don't know that I want to sign up. How does enrolling work? Is there actually a schedule or is it a learn at your own pace deal?
@thedaian I agree. I have no idea how to organize a largish project in PHP. Every time I tried, I ended up with unmaintainable spaghetti before getting anywhere
