Game Development

But now that I know this I really do want to get my "shared" hosting under one site using virtual directories or something so I have the rest of the sites available for me to sue

At least you've lead me to realize this :P

PythonInProgress

:D

WOOT

@ToddersLegrande i just got a bunch of rep

ToddersLegrande

Cool

PythonInProgress

wtf

on the chat user profile i have 51 rep for stackoverflow, on stackoverflow i have 30 rep still

ToddersLegrande

@PythonInProgress I think theres a nightly recalculation that syncs everything up....

I wouldn't worry about it

PythonInProgress

8:11 PM

ah

thanks todders

want to help me? u dont have 2 though

god... ive posted 335 messages here today.... this is the 336th

ToddersLegrande

Don't worry too much about your rep honestly. Just contribute when you can and the reputation will naturally rise

PythonInProgress

kk

i can do a lot of pygame stuff on stackoverflow since NO ONE can troubleshoot it well

ToddersLegrande

Out of curiosity, I was looking and trying to see where you got the rep (to see if I wanted to vote on something) and your stack exchange profile doesn't show any activity for today - what question got you the 20 rep?

PythonInProgress

i got +25 on a question, then it got downvoted. i think the question got deleted

ToddersLegrande

Ah... you lose the rep then :(

PythonInProgress

8:14 PM

idk tho

yeah

ima go browse questions now, cya for a bit

(you can still ping me if u need to)

ToddersLegrande

ciao

Lol I don't think I will, but noted.

Gajoo

So I've finished writing Concept design document, it has only 659 words but it took me almost 4 hours to write it :|

user11177

I think I found a way to disable the news feed

PythonInProgress

@Gajoo GJ Gajoo

Gajoo

since it's written in persian you won't be able to read it, unless you try to decipher walk google translate provides!

PythonInProgress

8:24 PM

Cool!

Send it to me :D

Gajoo

Battery

پلتفورم: iOS, android, windows phone, windows, linux, macox

سبک بازی: اکشن، چند نفره

توضیح:
در این بازی بازیکن کنترل یک ربات که به صورت یک گوی نمایش داده می‌شود را به عهده دارد. دنیای بازی یک ماز است و کنترل بازیکن بر روی این روبات تنها به نیرو وارد کردن در چهار جهت اصلی و فعال کردن PowerUp ها که بعداً توضیح داده خواهد شد محدود می‌شود. در صورتی که بازیکن در حال حرکت باشد و هیچ دکمه را فشار ندهد به تدریج از سرعتش کاسته شده و در نهایت خواهد ایستاد. در این ماز حداکثر 64 روبات وجود دارد که هر کدام توسط دقیقاً یک بازیکن یا کامپوتر کنترل می‌شوند. هر بازیکن حداکثر یک Target و 2 Hunter …

original document, try translating it with whatever tool you have!

Alex M.

counter-stike!!

Gajoo

just note that the original version almost doesn't have any gramatical errors

@AlexM. I was explaining how players can enter the game or leave it as they please, CS was the best example I could come up with.

Alex M.

I <3 counter-strike

Gajoo

maybe CoD (or BF) was a better example, since rounds doesn't have any meaning either.

@PythonInProgress I think in general bing provides a better translation.

PythonInProgress

8:27 PM

@Gajoo ahh

Gajoo

well google translate words better, but bing seems to provide better sentences.

PythonInProgress

hmm

an interesting document in broken English

Gajoo

@PythonInProgress is it really interesting?

PythonInProgress

yeah

Gajoo

I mean beside how broken it is?

PythonInProgress

8:30 PM

yeah, it is

Gajoo

@PythonInProgress another reason for me to actually finish that game.

PythonInProgress

:D

Gajoo

you know there is some prototypes ready for download in battery.intellisenseless.com

PythonInProgress

oh yeah

hey Gaj

Gajoo

?

PythonInProgress

8:32 PM

u know Todders said eventually i could get an intellisenseless site?

Gajoo

@PythonInProgress Todders is real nice, I'm leaching since forever :D and he never complained

ClassicThunder

sideeffect.kr/popularconvention

PythonInProgress

@Gajoo yep. he said its free for him, so :D

ClassicThunder

no C#/C++ but kinda cool

Gajoo

@ClassicThunder why no C++?

@PythonInProgress I didn't know that

ClassicThunder

8:34 PM

IDK ask the people who wrote the artical.

I think they mainly do web dev

PythonInProgress

@Gajoo also, you may have to reorganize the sites if i ever get one. Todders has them set up as different domains instead of subdomains (or something like that) so, if i get a site he has to move them to be subdomains

Gajoo

maybe because C++ has no real convention in the first place

ClassicThunder

which might be wy

ToddersLegrande

@PythonInProgress In IIS you have web sites. I am only allowed 6 web sites and I have every subdomain (which is free / unlimited - I pay for the hosting still) within their own site. I need to reorganize so the subdomains I'm giving away are all under one IIS site... using virtual directories I think.

PythonInProgress

@ToddersLegrande you explain it better :D

@Gajoo have Todders explain it

ToddersLegrande

8:38 PM

I just did

Gajoo

@ToddersLegrande you cheap .... I always thought you were paying for intellisenseless >:

@PythonInProgress done

ToddersLegrande

I pay for the domain and the hosting

PythonInProgress

so guys: install python 2.7, pygame 2.7, and go here: github.com/linkey11/Necromonster?source=cc

@Gajoo done?

ToddersLegrande

a subdomain is free

PythonInProgress

ahh

ToddersLegrande

8:39 PM

which is why you are battery.intellisenseless.com instead of your own domain

Gajoo

@PythonInProgress well as you see he did explain.

ToddersLegrande

if you wanted your own domain I'd make you pay for it and you could point it at the subdomain :P

PythonInProgress

:D

PythonInProgress

8:52 PM

does anyone here know how to make a download link? just interested, dont want to do it yet

ToddersLegrande

@PythonInProgress what do you mean?

<a href="http://www.link.to/your/downloadablefile.zip" >Whatever Text You Want Users To Click</a>

^ HTML for any link

Not necessarily just downloadable links

Browser / Server handles the file in the manner configured by them

For example pictures and pdfs can open in the browser or be downloaded

Some files have to be downloaded

Combination of server and computer settings for this

PythonInProgress

hey Code!

Code Assassin

hi

PythonInProgress

@ToddersLegrande i mean how to make the file accessable to the site, therefore able to be downloaded

@CodeAssassin whats up?

@ToddersLegrande basically how to upload the file

John McDonald

FTP

PythonInProgress

9:04 PM

free to play?

John McDonald

File Transfer Protocol

ToddersLegrande

File Transfer Protocol? I think...

Got it right. Neato

Ninja'd

ummm. ok then

:)

9:05 PM

:)

John McDonald

@PythonInProgress Download this FTP client: filezilla-project.org/download.php

PythonInProgress

thanks

i need @ChristainCareaga right now

John McDonald

Then you need server address & account information to connect and log in. Then you can browse, add, remove, move files. etc.

PythonInProgress

thanks!

@ChristianCareaga i get a weird error now with Necromonster:

[evaluate Necromonster.py]
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "C:\Wing IDE 101 4.1\src\debug\tserver\_sandbox.py", line 5, in <module>

ImportError: No module named pygame

its not registering pygame?

im using python 2.7.5 for this

ToddersLegrande

I got nothing on this :(

Not a python guy

PythonInProgress

9:09 PM

oh well

thats fine todders

Alex M.

I hate it when I find an explanation for something and I get to see stuff like this:

PythonInProgress

CRAP

ToddersLegrande

Oooooo. Windows 8.1 Start Button puts up a semi transparent version of the start screen. I like it.

I still find the button unnecessary but I'm in the minority there :)

user11177

try: import pygame

PythonInProgress

i cant ask questions on stackoverflow anymore!!!! WTF

Alex M.

9:13 PM

for any y in f(y), z(y) <= z(x)
for any y in g(y), z(x) < z(y)

I always read the 2nd as z(y) < z(x) damnit

ToddersLegrande

@PythonInProgress error message?

PythonInProgress

i cant ask questions on stackoverflow anymore!!!! WTF

PythonInProgress

oh. they say:

Sorry, we are no longer accepting questions from this account. See the Help Center to learn more.

i looked and i have ONE QUESTION that was deleted, i undeleted it, and THE SAME QUESTION that was downvoted ONE....

i dont see why...

ToddersLegrande

@PythonInProgress stackoverflow.com/help/answer-bans

PythonInProgress

9:16 PM

no, question ban

stackoverflow.com/help/question-bans

ToddersLegrande

You've only asked 4 questions all that have 0 votes but accepted answers.... hmmm

PythonInProgress

yeah

ToddersLegrande

Have you deleted a ton of questions?

PythonInProgress

nope

@ToddersLegrande just one

ToddersLegrande

Well I have no clue on your question ban... sorry :(

On the answer you just posted though...

It's ill advised to just post a link to something

This is because the content at the other end of the link can disappear and your answer becomes useless

Pull the relevant content out of the link into the answer (I didn't look to see if the content at the other end of the link was actually useful) and you'll more likely get upvotes

PythonInProgress

9:27 PM

ahh

ToddersLegrande

I'm heading out. I'll talk to you all later

Byte56

Later Toddlers

PythonInProgress

later

@Byte56 hi again

Byte56

@PythonInProgress Howdy.

PythonInProgress

@Byte56 anything new?

Byte56

9:30 PM

Got my websockets working properly

Exciting. I know.

PythonInProgress

very

i have a freaking question ban for no reason on stackoverflow

rant somewhere above

Byte56

Weird. I can't see much over there. I'm just a low rep user on SO.

PythonInProgress

so am i.... EVERYWHERE

havnt been here long enough

Byte56

Yeah, that takes time.

PythonInProgress

:D

im boooorrrrreeeeeddddd

:P i am so bored right now... should probably be working

Byte56

9:36 PM

Being bored just means you lack the ability to entertain yourself.

PythonInProgress

only while online, i would hop over to youtube if i had time to watch some videos before dinner

Byte56

Do some learning, or coding, or something.

PythonInProgress

learning sounds good

ima go do that

Byte56

Enjoy.

PythonInProgress

tnx!

PythonInProgress

9:50 PM

@CodeAssassin whatcha working on today?

hey Icy

Icy Defiance

yo

PythonInProgress

whazzup today?

Icy Defiance

exhausted. threw way too many boards today.

PythonInProgress

wha?

Shotgun Ninja

@IcyDefiance Is that like flipping tables?

Icy Defiance

9:52 PM

I work at a hardwood kiln and warehouse, and my primary job is to handle the boards after coming out of the kiln. this involves running them down a conveyor belt and stacking them into carts, which once full are banded up and taken away by a forklift to be sold.

well, conveyor belt made of chains, not a typical conveyor belt.

conveyor chains?

Shotgun Ninja

So I take it game development is a hobby?

PythonInProgress

ahh

hey Ninja

Icy Defiance

right now. haven't found a company willing to hire a computer guy without a degree.

PythonInProgress

ill hire you in 20 yrs

:D

Icy Defiance

once I graduate I plan to move into programming, maybe games or maybe not. hopefully I can get an internship before that, but working while going to school doesn't help my grades, which in turn doesn't help my internship chances.

PythonInProgress

9:54 PM

ahh

Shotgun Ninja

@IcyDefiance Yeah, that's why I'm shredding my testes on this fucking 5-year program.

PythonInProgress

?

why Shotgun??!?!!?

Shotgun Ninja

It's supposedly a "4-year" Bachelor's of Software Engineering, but my school keeps throwing me curveballs.

PythonInProgress

oh

Shotgun Ninja

Yeah. Do yourself a favor; don't go to a super expensive school.

It's not worth the pain.

PythonInProgress

9:56 PM

i am going to MIT or Purdue

or maybe Digipen

Shotgun Ninja

What did I just say?

Icy Defiance

yeah mine's not too expensive. not cheap either, but kind of in the middle.

Shotgun Ninja

Fucking don't.

PythonInProgress

LOL

Shotgun Ninja

It's not worth it.

I got shingles from trying to hold down a job so I could afford rent payments while going to a really tough, prestigious school.

PythonInProgress

9:57 PM

my parents will pay :D

Shotgun Ninja

Plus now I've failed some courses, and I'm going to be in debt until I'm in my late 30's.

@PythonInProgress Are your parents fucking rich?

$30,000 a year is not chump change.

Icy Defiance

personally, I would also recommend against larger schools whether expensive or not, especially if pursuing a computer related degree. the extra time the professor can spend with individual students is awesome.

Alex M.

@ShotgunNinja $30k

Shotgun Ninja

Unless they've been paying into a college fund that's going to actually go towards your college, or you apply for and get scholarships, you're going to have a bad time.

Alex M.

that's a nice VW Phaeton

Shotgun Ninja

9:59 PM

@AlexM. I know, right? I could sell my car and not pay for a full trimester at my school.

Byte56

Just get grants and scholarships. My entire school was paid for.

Shotgun Ninja

@Byte56 I kinda missed out on a bunch of that.

Byte56

You just need super poor parents.
