Hullo, @JoshPetrie.

guys... do you know how to handle google chrome?

because every time I load a page, it comes up as a simple html and I need to reload the page so (most) of the things appear, usually it takes a few refreshes, but I need to always refresh once at least...

4:54 AM

example page?

5:10 AM

every time I open youtube (for the first time)

but if I reload it then gets it right

once or twice I may get the ocasional "image not loaded" icon on some things but other than that...

@Jimmy any idea what it could be?

hmmm not sure

does it happen with other browsers

FF/IE

@Jimmy I would have to say "no"

try the usual stuff - disable all "hook" apps like antivirus/firewall software (except the windows one, that works) - those tend to create problems like that

chrome doesn't have such bugs currently and if other browsers run fine, there could be an external problem

5:26 AM

hm dont know... I think it's like this since I imported my configurations from my other account

had any proxies set up?

some weird extensions, perhaps?

tried nuking your cache yet?

5:41 AM

nope, how do I reset my chrome cache though?

ctrl-shift-delete

thanks ;)

well guys I am off to bed, thanks again

youtube (which was usually the "worst" site) is now working well at least... gotta check it out tomorrow though

night people

is there some design pattern to use for player / network input, actions and character states, actions

like i click on enemy, so i want to move and start attacking (and send correct packets), and character needs to change its position and play animation

@Kikaimaru what a silly question

sure

what you'd probably need more is an algorithm

i forgot to add that its in component based system

i dont think i do

everything is working, but i dont like the way it does

design patterns don't solve that

they solve one problem only - giving names to common things (although they're not that good at that, too)

so uh... redesign it.

9:51 AM

sure but someone had to do this too, so im asking how did he do that

and its useful to use common names because people would know whats going on just after reading class name

@Kikaimaru this is a better question but for the wrong audience - you need to read source code for that

@Kikaimaru not necessarily, often just wrong

@snake5 so i should ask source code?

i dont think it will answer

@Kikaimaru if you think so, you could perhaps tell me (time limit: 5 seconds) what this class does: static.springsource.org/spring/docs/2.5.x/api/org/…

@Kikaimaru I said you should read it

@snake5 so i should read some random source code?

@Kikaimaru the source code that does what you need

I really hoped it wouldn't be so hard to understand

9:57 AM

well i hoped that it wouldnt be hard to understand that i am asking game developers in what way they develop certain part of their game

and where shoud i find piece of code that does this, if i dont even know how its called

maybe i should ask some game developers, right?

oh look what iam doing here...

Q: Entity communication: Message queue vs Publish/Subscribe vs Signal/Slots

you might be looking for some variant of "message passing" patterns

like, signal/slot systems or blackboards

71

How do game engine entities communicate? Two use cases: How would entity_A send a take-damage message to entity_B? How would entity_A query entity_B's HP? Here's what I've encountered so far: Message queue entity_A creates a take-damage message and posts it to entity_B's message queue. ...

the question brings up some good comparisons, and the second answer is also very good

10:26 AM

yeah

easiest way is best :P

2:44 PM

So I beat Hard on Super Hexagon. A game that comes with Hard, Harder, and Hardest and 3 locked modes

it unlocked "Hardester" hahaha

any idea for .com domain for action multiplayer games? :)

multiplayeractiongames.com?

:D

rapidfriendbash.com :P

yeah i thought about that :)

hm multiplayeractiongames.com is taken :)

actionmultiplayergames.com this is not :)

damn domain parkers :(

2:52 PM

isnt there some program where i put words like "zynga" "geewa" and it will output new word? :)

internet anagram

service or something

I, rearrangement servant.

well i dont want anagram, i dont need same letters, just something in that spirit :)

thesaurus?

i dont think zynga is in thesaurus :)

so how could something possibly give you a related word to zynga?

2:59 PM

i dont know

neural network?

:)

the word "zynga" being some sort of direction? heh, I think it's one of the most disgusting company names, ever

Zynga is the name of the dog, named for a real dog owned by one of the founders, I think.

poor dog

yeah zynga is that bulldog in their logo

lemme take a minute here to discredit your choice of a role model :D

3:09 PM

silkroad is nice name, sadly its mmorpg and also a black market for drugs :)

it's historical, if I'm not mistaken

yep: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Silk_Road

yep i know

I've never heard about the relation with drugs, though

its a page on tor
