@Gajoo I thought Google paid good Money for people who found security vulnerabilities in Chrome? If what you are saying is true Google probably has paid for their research :P
 
And apparently Chrome is sandboxed really well, or so my brother in computer security says
Anyway, Just checking out AngularJS right now, and it's pretty cool
MVC for JS
Thanks @BogdanMarginean for pointing it out earlier today
It's really going to help organize my HUD for my game
 
1:01 AM
Anyone experieced with using Jam based build system??

Q: Jamfile - "Unknow rule" - How to read into it

Amit AhireI am trying to compile this project - It compiles perfectly in Linux(ubuntu). But I want it to work on Windows. So I installed MinGW (which comes with Jamplus installed) - and went ahead installing all the libs needed for the project. After doing that (phew!) - I downloaded the src of this projec...

 
1:48 AM
ah i suck at coming up with nice GUI designs
 
I wouldn't say I'm any good, but I do enjoy it
 
ah drives me nuts programming it up
i want work on the actual game not the buttons n stuff :(
sadly my game is heavily GUI driven
 
... yeah. It's a mega pain. Are you using a library?
 
nah im writing a html5 game so im using CSS/JS combination
 
Well... there are still lots of libraries for stuff
Like jQueryUI
 
1:51 AM
What's it about O:
@JohnMcDonald jQuery UI is the stuff
 
its a multiplayer military game
 
jQueryUI provides some more complex stuff though, like accordions, or drag&drop
Are you using jQuery? (not jQueryUI)
 
nah
wrote my own library
 
So plain old JS?
 
@Dave o:
 
1:55 AM
yup
 
jQuery makes a lot of things, like buttons, way way easier
 
better that way for learning javascript
well yeh but i like to learn the hard way to learn javascript
 
The more I use jQuery, the more I don't want to work for a company that doesn't
Or at least something similar
 
Oh no! I placed into silver this season! D:
 
well yeh i doubt a company will use their own no point to re-invent the wheel there
 
1:57 AM
weren't you masters or was that someone else
 
@Dave I was meaning one of the other useful libraries: mootools or.. I don't even know what's out there
 
protocol and mootools
cant think of any others
prototype*
 
There's a bunch listed in the drop down here: jsfiddle.net
 
this catergories based on what they are good for
 
yeah, nice
 
2:00 AM
@Jimmy nah. I was only in gold but I thought I was doing really well :(
 
@ToddersLegrande All the pros came back from vacation when HOTS was released
 
That was like a month ago
New season started today
Did my placement match and dropped a league D:
 
How long are seasons?
 
About two months I guess
So it was probably a little more than a month ago
 
2:29 AM
So @Dave, are you having trouble figuring out how to lay things out?
 
 
1 hour later…
3:36 AM
Hmmm I have a friend at school trying to sell a bunch of wp8 phones he brought from kr
anyone know the legality of this or how to detect counterfeit devices?
 
 
2 hours later…
5:25 AM
@JohnMcDonald yeh trying to make it user friendly & simple but have the relevant data also making sure it works for multiple screen sizes
 
6:20 AM
Only two people around?
That's weird.
 
6:30 AM
2:20 am :P
 
More like 8:34 AM.
Silly mister Thunder. :P
 
I though you were east coast too?
 
6:52 AM
Nope, I'm from Denmark. :P
 
o.0 wonder why I though that
must have been someone else
 
7:16 AM
@ToddersLegrande it was a sarcasm about one of that site's banners
"non-Microsoft vulnerabilities account for %86 of vulnerabilities in most popular programs"
@William'MindWorX'Mariager and that time of the day you can consider me not around even if I'm logged in.
 
7:36 AM
I deleted a bunch of pandora stations a while back for some reason
Discovered if you go in your feed you and click on them and they get re added
Rediscovering so much music I love that I haven't hear in over a year :D
 
 
3 hours later…
10:58 AM
@JohnMcDonald no prob, have fun MVC-ing :)
 
 
1 hour later…
12:07 PM
@JohnMcDonald jQuery is really great, and does all things.
 
12:54 PM
whoah, Komodo Edit sure changed a lot since I last used it
and for the best too
 
1:06 PM
It says the following: Gold Badges are rare. You’ll have to actively work toward these. They’re something of an accomplishment!
And then there's the badge: Zero score accepted answers: more than 10 and 25% of total
Hard to work actively towards that. :P
"Hey you! Did you just upvote my question? Don't... I need that zero rep."
 
I almost got that badge on SO. need one more
or two; but not many
very close

@Almo you just need one, 9 unscored and %32
 
yeah I have this habit of answering questions for noobs who don't understand the system very well.
 
1:29 PM
@Gajoo Is it bad that I saw %32 and immediately wondered why you URL-encoded something in chat?
it turns out to be the character '2'.
 
hahaha
 
@ShotgunNinja you're HTML drunk, go home
 
@Gajoo but I just got to work...
 
1:52 PM
@William'MindWorX'Mariager @Almo I've got that badge on SharePoint.SE
"Unsung Hero"
 
hahha cool :)
 
I could have so much rep on SharePoint.SE if I would just apply myself :P
And if the users would upvote answers...
 
was wondering how to entity framework
microsoft's stuff is all silverlight
thank god for third party stuff
also, I want to see how my website's design could look like, no idea where to begin though
I'd better copy another's for now lol
arkane's looks really hot
 
@BogdanMarginean telerik.com/help/wpf/…
I haven't personally walked through that tutorial but it seems to be alright
 
@ToddersLegrande didn't know that one, thanks!
 
Nice find
 
Indeed
I think I've used only 2 sprites for from Open Game Art. Some 8-Bit Santa Sprite and these vectorized snow tiles. Featuring Inconsistent Pixel Sizes :P
 
OGA has tons of neat things.
The hardest part is making a matching set.

Q: Is it possible to copy a 1D array to a 2D array as described and if so, how?

Tim WinterThe example below is in C# pulling data from Texture2D in XNA. My understanding is that Texture2D.GetData can not be used to pull data into a 2D array initially. If a 1D array contains values like so: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 Is it possible to copy that single dimensional array into a 2D array...

Hasn't that been answered hundreds of times?
 
2:22 PM
could use some more jQuery
 
@William'MindWorX'Mariager The only answer is a C-like modular arithmetic approach...
It would be better to have a LINQ map function.
x => y[i / 3, i % 3] = x;
Oh wait, side effects...
shit
uhh, something along those lines.
 
so much has changed in xcode 4
 
I was thinking about investing in a Mac Mini
half a year ago the price was around...
~$650
so I thought yeah why not
 
previously I knew how to take the cocos2d project and include it as a link so i didn't have to copy all the files into the project. made it easier to upgrade to newer versions.
 
2:31 PM
but now the cheapest is at ~$1000
 
$650 not bad
 
not sure if worth it atm
cheapest macbook pro goes over $1600
airs are around that price range too
and I'm not sure why there's no older gen to be found in retailers in romania
last year there were
 
I thought they had pros around 1100 at one point...
In recent history
 
the iPad mini and iPod touch remain the most affordable devices while also taking the quality into account
 
2:35 PM
@ToddersLegrande I'm doing conversions from romanian "leu" to US dollars here
it's a lot more expensive here :(
 
^ Cheapest at $1200 plus tax
@BogdanMarginean ah that would do it
 
I thought they had discontinued the iPod touch
 
then again, as a romanian I'm not necessarily feeling tricked
 
I think it's a great device and hope they haven't
 
it's the same price as in Germany, but with the added transport tax
that you'd pay on eBay too for example
i.e. it's not worth it to buy it from somewhere else in the world
 
2:36 PM
@BogdanMarginean Mac Mini is $600 here
 
I should say I'm not writing GTA 6 in X language, except I'd never write it anyway. GTA just isn't fun.
 
unless you know of someone in the US who can get it to you personally
 
I'm sorry for your prices :(
 
@ToddersLegrande yeah, it's not fun to be living here :(
and the only thing hardware that gets manufactured here is a range of entry-level android tablets
 
@Almo GTA 3 was fun. I can't speak for 1 or 2, Vice City wasn't as good as 3 IMO and San Andreas was just too different. Haven't played anything after that.
 
2:39 PM
and where did Debug build go in xcode 4?
GTA 3 was not fun. :)
 
@Almo I like GTAs
 
Lots of people do!
 
currently playing GTA 3, soon switching to VC and SA
will then go on with the rest
 
I don't like Settlers of Catan, either
random element breaks it
 
:) AngularJS is working out well so far. Here's a quick Before and After of the console code.
@Almo yeah... randomness, :(
 
2:41 PM
I guess, to be fair, the most fun we had playing GTA3 was to enter codes to give us guns, and take turns seeing how long we could last against the army
Which isn't really the game
 
I enjoy the missions
totally loved GTA IV while playing it (for a short while)
felt like an awesome action movie
 
@ToddersLegrande That's exactly what I don't like about GTA: it's a freedom engine. I find those dull. I like clearly-defined goals. People who tell me they like it often say things like "look I can steal any car" "look i can run over people" "look I can shoot police and they get mad and bring out tanks"
Just not my thing. :)
No, what I don't like are SOLO freedom engines.
I play EVE, which is a freedom engine with hundreds of thousands of players.
 
you can GTA while ignoring the sandbox part
just do the missions like I do
 
I tried that. Just when I was learning my way around the city, they threw me into a new location, and I decided I didn't want to have to learn my way around again.
That was GTA 3.
Played a bit of 4 as well, just didn't grab me.
having said all this, I commend them for having some of the best voicing in any game.
 
dunno, never had trouble with finding my way
there's an indicator on the map at all times
 
2:48 PM
I mean getting familiarity with the buildings and stuff
 
GTA IV even outlines the way
 
if you just use the map you're just driving past random polygons in an uninteresting driving simulator
I liked getting a sense of the buildings and recognizing where I was
 
yeah, I said I only like the story
I can already say I'm going to like SA more than 3 and VC
there's a lot more dialogue and cutscenes in it
 
@BogdanMarginean but you can "level up" your bike riding skills so that you can bunny hop over 10 ft fences....
 
2:53 PM
It's dumb
lol
I honestly didn't give it much of a chance but bleh
 
like in TeS? I always loved getting max acrobatics level in Daggerfall and jump over freaking CASTLES!
 
Ummmmmmmm
Something like that I guess lol
It's also got this weird Sims like aspect where you have to eat and whatnot
 
I am serious, hitting jump like crazy while climbing the stairs, and with a large enough acrobatics level, made the stairs act like a ramp
and you could jump over the castle (whose stairs you used as a ramp)
@ToddersLegrande might like that myself :D
 
Have fun :P
 
the jumping thingy was kept more or less in Morrowind too
with 100 acrobatics I was basically jumping from roof to roof
don't remember how it was in oblivion and skyrim
have no idea about arena
 
3:14 PM
Would a question like the following be on topic?
What problems could occur if you make use of both the Monogame API and the underlying graphics API?
 
might be worth a try
although it might seem to be broad
I think the rules should really be loosened
 
Where do you guys stand on inventory limits?
 
they make posting a broad question seem like some sort of extreme sin
 
@Noctrine stacks of up to 99 :P
And a max limit there in
I'm not a fan of weight systems though
 
I like my inventories huge
 
3:18 PM
@BogdanMarginean Yeah my question is kind of theoretical. I'm not facing a specific problem unfortunately
 
I'm considering a max limit of number of items you can carry, while exploring
 
I'm fine with that
@Noctrine opinion on my question above before I ask it?
 
and cities, towns, outposts and a few other places will let you connect with your infinite storage capacity place
Lemme go through
 
@ToddersLegrande First comment on it: "This question is really too broad. Can you boil it down to something more specific?"
it's always one
also, Arkane's:
mine:
 
What research have you done on it? Have you tried it? Are you just looking for any obscure one off things you could run into down the line when working?
 
3:20 PM
see, it's not really an exact copy
though I'm not sure that pin really adds to the thing
 
@Noctrine yeah that was my concern. It's not really an issue I'm having.
I'm more curious if there are any major known issues like "performance will be awful because you'll end up doubling your calls" or something
The little googling and GD.SE searching I've done I can't find much
But maybe my Google fu is not strong today
 
Dunno, could work out. Worst that could happen are a few downvotes, and maybe you'll get a badge
But I lean towards not asking things that aren't problems I'm having
 
yay, wonder how the HTML5 thing will turn out for them
 
@BogdanMarginean oh god
 
3:35 PM
what's wrong? :P
 
Runescape won't die :P
 
why do you want it to die? :P it's an awesome MMO
I think it's the most popular MMO that doesn't rely on grinding
and actually has puzzles that make your brain start working
god damn some are so hard but when you discover the solution you're like "why did I not think of this the first time?"
 
I haven't played it for more than a few hours since classic mode so I don't know what its evolved to :)

Q: What problems could occur if you make use of both the Monogame API and the underlying graphics API?

ToddersLegrandeWhat kinds of problems could one run into if they were making a game with Monogame and started making calls to the underlying graphics API as well? For example, if I wanted to do something in a Monogame project that Monogame didn't necessarily support, or I just couldn't find the proper documen...

 
you should try it, it's really awesome
 
I am at the mercy of the community now
 
3:40 PM
sometimes I'd just ignore the puzzles and quests just to build stuff in my house
or plant trees and vegetables lol
also weed
 
They finally implemented housing? How nice lol
 
housing's been around since 2005 I believe
 
There were always areas blocked off that would be used for player housing but it never was implemented
 
it's really cool, you manufacture your own furniture
 
Jeebus
 
3:41 PM
@ToddersLegrande one vote up from me
 
Huzzah
I fully expect the question to be downvoted and closed, not because I think its subjective or anything but because I'm feeling very pecimistic
I personally really like the question but I just dont know xD
 
hah I knew that social network icon pack would come in handy
I hoard all this stuff whenever I find them
I think this one was given for free by some website
the pin in the screenshot was from another pack, an ex-employer bought for his apps
he said "you can keep the license for the icons too"
I was like "cool!"
 
Nice
I should start hoarding stuff too
 
also someone might find this useful: sensibleworld.com/news/year-of-icons
one new icon per day, for a year
 
Or just get really good at Inkscape
 
3:48 PM
This website is offline
No cached version is available
 
@BogdanMarginean nice
 
oh well, might take a while for them to get back online
 
lol... pixel icon
 
yeah that one was the lol

lol
No no no no no
 
You are not truly a web designer until you have had your client ask "But our site will be in English right?" - multiple times in a single demonstration meeting
 
@Noctrine lololol
 
there's a nice sandwich shop in Romania, with Samuel L. Jackson on the wall
exactly that scene, saying "Drop the Kebab"
always cracks me up
sandwiches are great, and much cheaper than Subway
I find Subway to be a bit expensive, unless I have a 1+1 voucher
 
Better than subway isn't particularly difficult :\
Balancing fun and equality between desire to make money :\
 
3:56 PM
Subway is nice from a sandwich taste POV
 
Nearly every subway that I've been to here is pretty rushed
 
Subway is incredibly slow for what they do
At least in Wisconsin
Though its possible I need to blame everyone who gets their sandwich toasted
 
Slow, but I mean like the way they put everything together, cut, bake my sub always ends up squashed
I get mine toasted :p
 
I haven't been to a subway in years and don't plan to start again so have at it :P
And yes... they are definitely sloppy
