aaah this is annoying

you poop yer pants?

mountain gen is hard :/

I have it very close using cellular automata but I don't think I'm going to get it

It pathfinds to make chains, actually

:D

probs the closest I will get

they look shitty

what is wrong with that?

aside from the missing bitmask

they aren't very... natural looking

too many square edges

not enough randomness, also too thick

but one-wide is too thin

People sure aren't taking chances with that button.

lol

I think it looks pretty good

trying out perlin noise I think

need to add that to my repertoire anyhow

cool.. you can get a lot of different kinds of data with that

yeh

check out simplex noise instead

@Noctrine oh hey. you're here. question for ya

@Jon Patented :/

@SpartanDonut What's up?

Got my Focusrite Scarlett today - big thing I notice, which I think I can get around, is that Windows detects just one generic input from USB and subsequently ignores the settings you would configure for the various outputs. I found FL studio can digitally detect and use the physical outputs though (even though its not physically plugged in)

I'm pretty sure windows only detects one input (the card itself) on mine Pod Studio as well.

It's up to programs to interface with that hardware

Sure

I feel like it must be some sort of standard driver or something though that audio software uses

Yep, just a generic midi one

I was thinking maybe there would be some middleware or something that could convert the signal into a virtual input or something that I could then leverage in VOIP / gaming / etc.

Causes some fun things when plugging in other instruments.

Check thedrivers for the scarlett - it may have a more sophisticated one.

Otherwise I can run a physical cable to my line in on my pc obviously

oh man

you can play pacman on google maps

check it out. lol, there is a pacman button

My keyboard runs over the generic one and all the fun buttons that control things in like cubase play as if they were piano keys in - say - synthesia.

@Jon Moar questions

That more or less makes sense. My mic works just via USB. My complaint is that it's coming through the left channel. The mixing software / drivers fixes that as long as I use one of the outputs since I can map the mix to one or more outputs

Problem is I can't map anything to the standard USB output

Looking to get some multifunctional use out of this

Should work great for actual audio recording

@SpartanDonut You may also have a really good question for the audio stackexchange.

Do you use FL for audio recording?

@Jon You said earlier that the Dot script didn't extend from nondevelop, then how does it know when all obejcts has been loaded

Right now that's what I did my testing through

There was a time (mostly to mess with friends) where I used the pod studio as my audio input in like skype.

Then I could apply filters to my voice

@Hjorthenify how does what know?

The whatever that creates the grid

Thats kind of what I'm looking for. I just need the software to do it. Does FL support that?

What I am currently doing, is I have a gameobject, with a Grid script -- that initializes the dots, and then generates the grid

in the Awake()

I don't know the terminology to search for. Just the theory of what I'm trying to do xD

ahh

@SpartanDonut Not sure, what software came with it?

And then you pass on the data to somethin gelse and deletes the object?

I've only installed the drivers / mixer

Came with some other stuff I can download... 1 sec

So, no software? or you don't know?

They made me register online and gave me a list of things I could download

I was going for the bare minimum and ignored the rest

Then the actual software is "Scarlett Mix Control 1.8" which is what allows me to map mixings to outputs

And included the driver

@Hjorthenify I am not sure what you are asking here

You also said that you deleted the object later on

the gameobjects -- i don't use them if i am not debugging

the dot objects i don't delete

So when the jobs is done(raycasting) you delete the object and passes the array onto a gamehelper or something

Might try the Scarlett Plugin suite

Huh?

naw, I retain the dot/connections

that is the game map

the array just stores the dot at an x,y position

Yes

the dot has the data on its neighbors

So a gameobject appears

no gameobject.

Does a tonne of raycastings

just a object.

and builds the dot list

Right.

GameObject

the Grid

Btw: reddit.com/r/thebutton

ITS RUNNING OUT

I accidentally pressed it when I didn't want to and now I don't have any presses left. :(

THE INTERNET JUST DIED

same.

Oh

anyways.. i think i'm gonna clean this up and create a standalone solution

Had to reload the page.. We're good the internet is not dead, yet.

and post it to my blog

:O

When will this be?

i dunno when i have time for it

I'll get started on my own then

Or try to at least :P

Yeah, its not an easy task :)

I bet.

How can I make an object immoveable in Unity?

Setting both to kinematic disables collision..

Im thinking about giving it a huge mass, but dunno

don't give it a rigidbody

it won't move

Hmm

or if you need it, set IsKinematic to true

I have to fix my rendering too.. My background is drawn on top of everything

Yeah but two kinematic characters doesn't collide

they dont' move

why would they

it got down to 28 seconds XD

your map gen?

ohhh

the button, lol

there are probably like 100 people waiting on it to reach like 3 seconds

its gonna go on for a while

@SpartanDonut Actually, FL should since it has the performance mode. Should be able to support live audio out.

But that plugin suite sounds like it should have something good.

Sorry, got nerd-sniped by something else.

It had to be done ...

if there had been s stars that'd be better

although I like the 16% of message thing

theres 4% of a hidden message in there somewhere bros

@Jon is Mathf.PerlinNoise reproducible if you set Random.seed?

dunno

from what I am reading, it seems it might always use the same seed

I walked through these motions, and ended up just importing libnoise

The same coordinates will always return the same sample value but the plane is essentially infinite so it is easy to avoid repetition by choosing a random area to sample from.

it does everything you want better

it is a little over kill for what he needs it for

aaaahhh I seee

you could specific an offset as your "seed"

their example has an xOrg and a yOrg, I think that's the offset

but this generator seems lacking

yeah

It seems fine for what I need it for, will probably write my own eventually though

cant set frequency, amplitude and stuff

yeah

hmmm

actually you can write that yourself

if you want to sample a higher frequency, you can just xvalue/frequency

true

Hmmmmm

Seems the plugin suite is VST plugins

@Noctrine another confusing thing is how FL studio wants the same audio device for input and output?

So if I want to record I can't hear

@SpartanDonut use Asio4All

^

Meta: When/why did we start using the ^ syntax instead of ++?

++ has trouble with the message being higher up. Leaving you no real choice but to reply, which gets irritating. For the person you are "++"-ing.

^ /signed?

++ ^3? ++ ^5?

++^-1

Ok with Asio4All it looks like it records and I can hear my pc audio but I can't hear FL Studio playback

@TreDubZedd see you cant use the Prefix Increment Operator after someone says something though, thats blashpemy

@SpartanDonut FL has to be set to use Asio Drivers, you may also need to restart.

hm. You have a point.

My problem with Asio is usually, when I want to switch to things outside of music stuff and the program doesn't want to play nicely with them :\

I think I might just have Asio4All misconfigured

don't really know what I'm doing lol

oh I got it

Yeah now FL hijacked my PC audio lol

Might just be easier to run a cable from the scarlett to the pc xD

i typically think alienware is a gimmic... but holy crap"

looks sexy, id buy the case i guess lol

is that bottom-right corner refrigerated?

This isn't the right shape but it reminds of the ASRock M8 bmw mini ITX case

That makes me wonder - would a smoke bomb be an effective test of the ventilation of my coffee table case.

@JoshPetrie It does

@JoshPetrie havent done it but I imagine it would have to

They also shouldn't need a paid plan to do it

msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.uint64(v=vs.110).aspx

Decimal?!

@OMGtechy I guess they mean, if you want your code to run on any CPU (not just 64bit ones), you shouldn't use Uint64

@Ali.S unsigned types (except byte) aren't supported at all. I'm thinking it's because there isn't an Int128 in the CLS, but I'd rather they just said "there isn't one" than bleeding Decimal

It really annoys me

I was considering putting my language on the CLR so I could use the .NET shizzle, but this unsigned stuff is upsetting to me.

I know I could just use it internally and not expose it in an API.

@Ali.S "If you are stolen, call the police at once"

xD

ahaha

You make a good point though; if I care about interopping with those languages that don't support it then I'll have the exact same problems outside of the CLR

Mmm, LLVM feels more ... "free" to me

but having .NET at the languages disposal is a huge bonus

Of course in the long run both could be made, but this is about what I do first.

@Jon This is basically what slack.com is - web-based (or app-based) chat, desktop notifications, invite-only, #channels, private messages

I use it with a few friends and it reminds me a lot of SE chat

holy shit "1" won the daily contest this time

lol

so I went to my local gamedev meetup again last night

@Almo wowz

@Chris how'd it go?

the three guys that are making Phantasmal were letting people play it, steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=291861158

was cool eh. a couple guys from Google Admob talked for a bit about their mobile admob stuff, um and the Swordy / Frogshark devs were there showing off too, swordygame.com

and people coming up to me asking how tallowmere's going haha

aha

talking of which, how IS it going?

swordy looks cool

@OMGtechy it goes! working on iOS version atm

though the tax year just ended and I feel like doing some filing today

you feel like it?!

all to their own

get it over and done

lol

man.... I have like 14 days to do all that stuff

crap

heh

for me it's literally going through my paypal account, and basically my computer hardware and license costs for the past year

will probably come up with a negative balance brought forward

Hello Chris!

hey

hay

the button is still going

Jon I have no idea how to get started on this..

like i said, simple concept, difficult execution

Yeah

i'll see about cleaning up the implementation and posting the code

Paradox added the Chirper to their other games.. I like the hashtags #ThouOnlyLivethOnce and #BLITZKRIEG

lawl haha

Mineplex, everyone is a cow, and your name is changed to moosomething

and when you chat, random moos are added to your text

Thanks!

@Joe far out, .google as a TLD? heh

I should make a projectile factory.

The only difference between projectiles are size, graphics and damage.

Seems wasteful to create a class for each type.

go for it

Might as well just change the parts on the projectile itself.

How did you do it Chris?

I didn't lol

each projectile has no class inheritance or anything

You don't have different projectiles? :P

the only similar factor to each projectile is their damage amount and a collider/trigger to check for collision I think

but no factory or shared class

sometimes that is easiest.

@Almo ha?

Yeah, I guess Unity handles a lot of the factory stuff for you. You just use the system.

@Jon You are wecome!

I was doing some testing the othe other day, instantiating prefabs and destroying them, instiating them again without using a pooling system

zero memory increase for a lot of instantiating and destroying, was quite impressed

must have some good built-in pooling

wow

That's certainly changed since Unity 4

I actually have no homework due this week...wtf am I supposed to do now...

it feels so weird

@Pip I think you're right eh

@IcyDefiance play a game of LoL tonight

@Chris any experience with Unity's Mathf.PerlinNoise ?

yeah I can do that. tutoring now though. can't leave for another hour.

tutoring has also been real quiet today, so I've been through everything on the top 10 pages of reddit

/r/thebutton

@Pip nope sorry

I'll be on later

will beep you then

kk thanks

lol yeah I saw the button. clicked it too.

I'm looking for an implementation of Perlin for mountain gen

tried hacking the button to let me click it again, and it worked, but it didn't change my flair or anything

lol

How did you do that?

gotta change a div's class from "pressed" to "active"

I think it was a div

i have not clicked it

apparently there's supposed to be a cheater flair for people who did what I did, but it's glitched or something, I'm not sure

I feel mildly cheated

:D

haha

aww man
