7:00 PM
@Almo easy peasy lemon squeezy if you ask me
:P
 
im writing a rpg in Python called Glory that Gajoo was helping with
 
Obj-C just mucks it all up is all
 
now I'm having the problem that if you've swiped it, and it's moving but slowing down, and you grab a card, the m_speed is immediately set to 0, but the cards all still have their target positions offset, so it drifts a few more frames because of the linear interpolate.
Obj-C isn't what's causing me the problems. been using it for over 3 years now; quite used to it.
I guess I just alter all the target positions when a touch starts while it's moving
 
im going to go work on my website, ping me if you need me all
 
@PythonInProgress PING
 
7:02 PM
@ALMO LOL
 
go work on your website :)
 
"Glory that Gajoo was helping with" is a weird name
 
@PythonInProgress I demand perfection. Should take you at least 90 hours
@Byte56 sounds akin to other games I've seen on XBLIG
 
@Byte56 lol
 
7:02 PM
does anyone here host their own website?
@Byte56 nooo....
it's name is "Glory"
gajoo was helping write a storyline
 
I pay for hosting
 
@PythonInProgress he was joking
 
@PythonInProgress as in their own PC?
It's so cheap. Just pay for it
 
7:03 PM
I host, with a server of my own.
 
I'm wondering if there is a good song out there that I didn't already found it :|
 
ehh, im going to host it on my RasPi, but dont want to buy a domain
 
That list you made in your head wasn't very memorable I guess.
 
Domains are cheap and easy to manage
 
i dont have a way to pay online
 
7:05 PM
If you're not buying the domain... you're just going to give out the IP address?
 
@PythonInProgress good choice. I'm pretty sure pi will handle more than a thousand concurrent users
 
i pay to host several
 
And more than likely... a dynamic IP address....
 
so... i have over $150 lying around and cant use it
@Gajoo dont need it to
@ToddersLegrande i can make it static easy
 
7:05 PM
@PythonInProgress buy a prepaid card from Walmart
 
@PythonInProgress think about how big glory is going to be,
 
@PythonInProgress By giving money to your ISP?
 
@ToddersLegrande damn... thats actually a good idea
@Gajoo lies
and its not for the game
 
I'm sure your game will have even more hits than google
 
just me
 
7:06 PM
@PythonInProgress You don't really have control over your external IP address. Your ISP does
@Gajoo you are a funny guy
 
I paid a whopping $2.74 for the last domain I registered (for 1 year)
 
@ToddersLegrande I know I am :P
 
For the first year
 
@ToddersLegrande you can change the Pi's in the settings
 
@PythonInProgress nope
 
7:07 PM
is there a way to permanantly buy a domain name?
@ToddersLegrande yep
 
Nope
 
then my source isnt accurate
 
I guess you could take over ICANN
 
I vote for nope too
 
7:07 PM
no fault of mine
 
@Byte56 yeah, my friend is in the biz and claims to be able to get them for under $8/year after the first
 
long function name synchronizeCardTargetPositionsToRealPositions
 
Lol Almo
 
@JohnMcDonald That's pretty good. I pay something like $11 USD
 
I like my code to be legible, so I'm not afraid to use long names
 
7:08 PM
@PythonInProgress the simplest way to think of it is two really big networks. Your home network, and the internet. The one you can set is for your home network. Your ISP chooses the one for your internet... and is often times dynamically assigned
 
so is there a way to permanently buy a domain name guys?
 
@ToddersLegrande yeah, just never turn it off
then it wont change
@JohnMcDonald tnx John
 
@Almo remembering those long names is way too hard for me, so I simply don't use them
 
remember?
 
7:10 PM
@PythonInProgress in general yes but thats not fool proof.
 
I do "[self syn" and Xcode tells me what it is
 
@ToddersLegrande ahh
why not?
 
@Almo never rely on intellisense
 
So the gamedev site doesn't auto update for me, as in I have to refresh to see notifications/new questions/rep changes/etc.
 
it's not always around.
 
7:10 PM
I think I tracked it down to web sockets.
 
@Byte56 why?
 
you can program how you want, but when I'm in Xcode, I'm using it.
 
it means that any time I want to synchronize the card target positions to their real positions, I don't have to remember the name
 
Does anyone else have websockets on port 80 working?
 
7:11 PM
I just type [self syn and it figures it out
 
 
when you're consistent with your names, you end up knowing what you would name it, and you don't have to rememebr
 
I'm wondering if they do realize how easy it is to solve that equation?
 
if I ever type [self something and it doesn't figure it out, it means I named it wrong, and I rename it
at least if I do that consistently
 
@AlexM. have you heard this song?
 
7:14 PM
HAH
 
@PythonInProgress in a typical DHCP network scenario there is such thing as a DHCP lease at the end of which you'll be getting either a new IP address or your current one could be renewed. No guarantee of which, its really up to the ISP. And not all ISPs use DHCP so this might even be irrelevant for you. They might have their own way of assigning IPs.
 
nuts that doesn't seem to fix it :(
 
@ToddersLegrande ahh k
 
he can use dyndns.org
 
I FIGURED IT OUT :D
@Almo no
 
7:15 PM
@PythonInProgress needless to say, the only way to truly guarantee you won't ever get a new IP address is by paying for one which usually requires business class internet which general means slower internet for more money. =/
 
i can use dot tk
 
@Gajoo not until now
 
@ToddersLegrande yeah
 
@ToddersLegrande my ISP keeps changing my IP address every time my connection drops.
 
Trade off being more stable internet and a static IP
 
7:15 PM
it puts a program in your puter that calls it to say what your IP address is, and maps that IP to a domain name
 
and it drops at least once every 24h
 
if you IP changes, dyndns updates the IP in DNS
 
I rarely look into brony music, I like this old piece though
 
I use it to point stuff at my mac at home
 
i can use a dot tk site :D
 
7:16 PM
@Almo generally for a real world scenario (from the little research I've done) those services also cost money
 
dyndns is free
 
@AlexM. rainbow factory is also nice
 
I've been using it for years
 
and 'party with pinkie' by alex s.
 
they have some pay services, but to point a domain at your computer, it's free
 
7:16 PM
@Almo explain this dyndns
 
i think it's if you want to do more than 5 addresses
 
I think in a lot of cases the original songs are so much better
e.g. this
 
almo.dyndns.org points at my mac
 
the singing voice is so awesome for a cartoon
 
7:17 PM
it's not on right now, but if it were, you could get to a site hosted on my mac that way
 
darn. why u no host?
 
no need to leave the mac on all day if I don't need something from it
 
@Almo I guess my personal real world scenario where I looked into this was where I wanted to use my own domain name. Wasn't considering using a .dyndns subdomain :)
 
I think you're right about that
 
7:18 PM
That would work for his situation though (I think)
 
i can use a personal adress now
 
the bummer is DataPimp closed soon after I got "almo@fuckinginternet.com"
loved that address
had it forward to my normal one
 
So... anyone have websockets on port 80? I have all other ports but that one. websocketstest.com
You just have to click the link and it does all the work.
 
port 80 is the normal output for web servers
 
7:19 PM
@Byte56 all my ports are ok
 
I'm aware of that.
 
but web proxy
 
@Gajoo OK, thanks. Now I know that fixing that might help.
 
@Byte56 I'm not so sure about it
 
Oh?
 
7:20 PM
in fact I'm pretty scared why any of those ports are working at all
 
is there a .personal address or something?
 
my router shouldn't forward any port.
 
Updating works when I'm at work, and websocket on port 80 works there.
 
meaning all those ports should be unreachable by any external device
 
I think those ports are not your local ports.
 
7:22 PM
sorry for cutting you guys off, but what should i call my website?
 
either not my local ports, or they are originating from me.
 
@PythonInProgress Shh
 
@Gajoo those all look like standard web ports. Your router is probably automatically handling htem
 
@PythonInProgress pythondone?
 
7:22 PM
@ToddersLegrande I just checked, it shouldn't
 
@PythonInProgress There's DDNS services (Dynamic DNS (Domain Name System))
 
@PythonInProgress or pythoninitializing?
 
Yeah 443 is SSL
 
@JohnMcDonald ik
 
@Gajoo if your router isn't allowing traffic on port 80 or 443 you essentially wouldn't have access to the internet
 
7:23 PM
im using dot tk
@Gajoo maybe programm3r.tk since my email is ward.programm3r?
 
@ToddersLegrande it allows outgoing traffic, but doesn't allow incoming connections to those ports
@PythonInProgress I won't approve :P
 
@Gajoo ah I see
 
why not?
 
can you guys check if you can connect to me?
run telnet on your computer and then write:
o 95.38.216.10 80
 
.tk still exists? wow
 
7:26 PM
@Gajoo timing out when using ping
 
@ShotgunNinja you can't even ping me?
that's odd too
 
@user11177 yeah
 
i can't ping you either
 
@PythonInProgress Think of a name yet?
 
yeah
probably:

programm3r.tk
 
7:27 PM
Some routers can be set to reject ping requests (mine was this by default)
 
idk really
 
could you try telnet thing then?
on both ports 80 and 8080
maybe router disabled ping by default and I can't find a configuration for it
@Almo @ShotgunNinja I just found that ping option, it's now enabled
 
pingable now
 
@PythonInProgress What's your country?
 
7:30 PM
I just found weird music on my computer, clash by "carvan place"
 
cave is looking more and more like a cave
 
@AlexM. Stomach.
 
@Byte56 county? or country>
 
@Byte56 I was just going to say the same thing
 
yeah, it does resemble a stomach a little bit
 
7:31 PM
yeah sorry, country.
 
but in first person it won't be observable :D
 
@AlexM. much more than a little
 
ahh. The US
 
okay, it's looking much more than a little bit like a stomach :P
but damn, didn't even notice it until you guys brought it up
 
@AlexM. I think its a cartoon arm making a fist.
Does that make you feel better?
 
7:32 PM
well a stomach without one of the holes
 
wasn't feeling bad
it does resemble a stomach, as I said :P
 
argh it's still not fixing the drift >:(
 
@AlexM. you should study human anatomy much more carefully then!
 
har har
 
lol dot tk registration is not working
 
7:35 PM
Neopets registration wasn't working for me a few months back. It was a sad day :(
 
heh, what?
 
is neopets the one with dragon pets?
I kinda remember using it once
 
Neopets has a ton
 
I wasn't actually interested in playing again, considering its been 11 years but I was curious what it was like.
How it had changed, etc.
 
7:37 PM
I remember "donating" negative 1 billion dollars to the donation tree. lol!
 
Every user name I tried it told me it was taken, offered an alternative, and told me the alternative was taken
 
Well
Viacom too over
 
I think people used to embed their pets in forum signatures back then
 
Friend of mine and I noticed that the items were artificially limited to create a sort of economy.
 
It was a great browser based game for its time... even if it was vulnerable to attack
 
7:37 PM
We ran a scheme to drive up the price of faerie bottles
 
I could write a mean "refresher" app in no time now.
@Almo that is awesome
 
@ToddersLegrande So vulnerable. Your account's ID was in the address bar. Type a new number and BAM, you had access to someone else's account
 
@Noctrine lolwut
 
One of the most prized items in the game were faeries, I don't remember what they did
New Skills or something?
Anyway, they weren't always generated, and the players had set a prescribed value on them
I think like 3k neopoints
 
7:40 PM
yep
i played that game a few years ago
 
So, we basically pooled all of our money together
and bought all of the cheap faerie bottles
And horded them
To drive up the cost :\
 
till the price rose :D
 
This was
Maybe
 
i did that with those stones
 
9 years ago?
 
7:41 PM
lol
its still easy
i did it with those rune stone things like three years ago
 
Because no measurable improvements or advances have been made to the site. Kids will still play on it
 
the ones for training the pet
yep
 
Hacks that you used back in the day, will likely still work.
Many features that were announced back when I was little and played, still haven't been completed.
We did a market-research run not to long ago.
 
They fixed the negative "donations" pretty quick though, lol
 
hafta admit, Blizzard knows how to do great artwork
 
that logo is so cool
 
there was a dating site with that userid url hack
 
@Noctrine what about it?
 
7:46 PM
@Almo Oh man
 
An amazing logo designer
 
so you could get into anyone's account free and change their info :)
 
@PythonInProgress www.veryambitio.us
 
yes i am
 
7:47 PM
It's not registered, you can claim it.
 
I enjoy my intellisenseless.com domain even if I don't use it for much
one day I will blog
 
@ToddersLegrande that's yours todders?
dont Mindy and Code use it too?
 
Not sure who Mindy is unless its your pet name for Gajoo... but yes
 
7:56 PM
Mindy, MindWorX?
 
Oh yeah
Him too lol
I think I'm quite low on sites left... I feel like I'm only allowed 5 or something
 
@PythonInProgress fyi, "Mindy" (not MINDy) is a common female's name in English speaking countries. Case and point: google.ca/…
 
He prefers to be called Bill anyway
 
@JohnMcDonald ik. its William'MindWorX'Mariager's nickname
 
(Shhhhhhhhh)
 
7:57 PM
ahh
he told me to fall him mindy
 
Don't actually call him Bill. He doesn't like it
 
@JohnMcDonald yeah
 
@JohnMcDonald I appreciate your video link. Thank you
 
heh, Someday I Suppose
 
@ToddersLegrande can i have a intellisense site?
not kidding this time
 
7:59 PM
@PythonInProgress had I not realized I had a low limit I'd say yes.
 
ahh....
 
I wouldn't have handed out as many as I already have in such a case
 
can you check the limit?
cool people use those sites
 
It's seriously like one left which means I don't have any extra for myself... not that I need them but I like the option to be there
