Thank you for drawing attention. I don't think I've ever seen a post get flagged into auto-deletion so fast. :)

@DMGregory yeah ahahah :D

@DMGregory uuuuuhm i am trying to make a little clone of "last one standing" :D I'm stuck with the movement though.. how did you make it? did you use Rigidbodies and Physics in general?

DMGregory

Yep, it's using physics movement. The little wiggle-walk the dominoes do is just their renderer moving though, and doesn't affect their physics representation.

Gabriele Vierti

ooooh okay

man it is so fluid

DMGregory

Thanks. :D The version I built for event play is even a bit better than what's online, but it's not configured as well for home play.

Gabriele Vierti

Nice :D

DMGregory

Once Starlink ships, I want to remake it from scratch and add a few more modes, so it's a more full-fledged game instead of just a jam prototype.

Gabriele Vierti

10:39 AM

yes that would be cool

DMGregory

Things that help the fluidity: lower physics step, and interpolation on the player rigidbodies.

Gabriele Vierti

I'm really not that good with Rigidbodies and stuff

the reason is probably because i haven't experimented with them enough

i can say one thing though

DMGregory

They're really not too bad once you get used to speaking their language. I usually make myself little helper functions like AccelerateTowards(direction, maxSpeed, maxAcceleration) so I don't have to do the physics math manually everywhere, and most of my code can just focus on saying "that way!"

Gabriele Vierti

it's really fun to play on a giant 4k tv :D

DMGregory

Ooooh, I haven't tried it in 4K yet.

Gabriele Vierti

10:41 AM

it works

and it's AWESOME :D

DMGregory

I did have a lot of fun with that one, since the scene is so small and simple, I could do a lot with high-res woodgrain and correct table reflections and depth of field, without completely melting my little Surface.

Gabriele Vierti

ahahahaha

DMGregory

There's even a little fake bounce light off the table. :)

Gabriele Vierti

I can see that :)

i still have a laptop from 2008/9 ish

super old stuff

i was thinking of making a clone using opengl and c++

it's a ton of work though

DMGregory

11:13 AM

I'd say if you're going to do that much work, you might as well have fun making your own game rather than a clone. ;)

Gabriele Vierti

Yeah ahahahah

A: How can I get GetMouseButtonDown two positions on two clicks?

You can gather as many positions as you want into a collection: List<Vector2> _positions = new List<Vector2>(); void Update() { if(Input.GetMouseButtonDown(0)) { _positions.Add(Input.mousePosition); if(_positions.Count == 2) { // Draw your line, and clear the _p...

I was writing an answer too :D I'm too slow :P

Q: Why this question doesn't get answers?

18 days ago I asked my first quesiton (about how to get records to make archivements) in this site but I notice that no one have answered it, and I don't know what to do. I know that my question isn't too bad (or I think) because it doesn't have any downvote nor flag. But it also doesn't have any...

Unity released their C# runtime source code: github.com/Unity-Technologies/UnityCsReference

 //Footprint stuff refactor later :)
        private FootPrints footprints;// reference to the global footprints controller
        public float footPrintSpacing = 2.0f;//duh
        private Vector3 lastPos;//duh
        //end of footprint stuff\

my new favourite block of code :P

i guess creating low poly assets for a terrain is pretty useless for world that should be created procedurally... think I'm gonna go for procedural generation

5:43 PM

Do you guys use Steam in Big Picture?

user92578

user92578

I'm adding in support for big picture text input, but I don't understand why they would display the text I'm entering in two different places

user92578

The whole input thingy feels very buggy too but that might just be my non-Steam Controller -controller

Gabriele Vierti

@Tyyppi_77 sometimes, yeah

I'm trying to figure out if I should make the map background black, or just let stars through. Also if I have anywhere else I can add in things of interest.
