@AlexM. Did setting the .Maximum value help?

@ClassicThunder Good to know. I'll be giving it a shot.

ToddersLegrande

@ClassicThunder oooooo gotcha

Hi guys, Timothy McHugh here, Hope you're all doing well.

We've added some new sound libraries for you to download for free and use within your projects or just add to your sound libraries.

729 Footstep recordings, on 7 different material types. Including walking, running, scuffs, jumps and lands. All recorded and mastered at 24bit/96k.

@JohnMcDonald is this accurate? lol

though to be honest

a joke as it may be, I can definitely imagine it happening in romania lol

ToddersLegrande

7:24 PM

@AlexM. don't have the brightest cops in romania?

@AlexM. No, but this is: youtube.com/watch?v=Mdvr-4nYs5s

@ToddersLegrande nope

hey gamers and game devers

PythonInProgress

hey everyone

@Dave hey Dave

@PythonInProgress hey @PythonInProgress

:P

PythonInProgress

7:30 PM

lol

can some of you upvote my question?

link ? if its worthy

PythonInProgress

someone raised a good point about it

if i see one spelling mistake :P -1

just kidding

PythonInProgress

Q: How to make an arc'd, but not mario-like jump in python, pygame

I have looked at many, many questions similar to this, and cannot find a simple answer that includes the needed code. What i am trying to do is raise the y value of a square for a certain amount of time, then raise it a bit more, then a bit more, then lower it twice. I cant figure out how to use ...

2d-physics python pygame

oops

its because the question was already answered else where

we generally try to avoid duplicates

PythonInProgress

7:32 PM

ITS NOT A DUPE THOUGH

oops caps

:P

other than the dupe answer being in java not pything

all code uses the same logic =/

PythonInProgress

i dont want mario physics

thats what the dupe was

im thinking a formula might be better on SO =/

you could though use the mario one then edit it ?

PythonInProgress

kk ill move it

i could, but dont want the style

ToddersLegrande

I don't know if it belongs on SO

PythonInProgress

7:34 PM

i do not want this to be a mario-like game

idk todders

cool profile hat though

well it be better to say would you do want it like =/

"How to make a mario-like jump in python, pygame"

PythonInProgress

nooo

Was the original title.

PythonInProgress

yeah, changed my mind

7:35 PM

so you dont want to say what you want it to be like ? then how can we answer :P

Heh.

PythonInProgress

it was turning into a clone

user4704

Think before you post next time ;)

9

PythonInProgress

yeah :P

mario is a classic starting formula i don't see the issue with then editing it to how you prefer it to be ?

PythonInProgress

7:35 PM

it would work, i guess...

my game was essentially a mario clone, though

but now its not ?

PythonInProgress

i redid almost all of it, just not the jumping

so its a 2d side scroller like a mario clone but not like mario

PythonInProgress

yeah

you can only go right

i need a map im lost

PythonInProgress

7:37 PM

?

Don't get too caught up on how it's labeled.

Just make it how you want to make it.

PythonInProgress

ok then...

just make it with mario formula then edit the formula =/

PythonInProgress

tried that

what went wrong

PythonInProgress

7:37 PM

cant get ANYTHING to work like i want it

idk

ill shut up about it now...... :P

lol ok - its maths at end of the day if you know your maths u can work it out

PythonInProgress

yeah... sigh

Remember, it's still InProgress.

PythonInProgress

not any more

im switching languages after this game

to what lingo?

PythonInProgress

7:39 PM

probs C# with unity

idk though, yet

i never could get into C language

too damn confusing

C# is similar to Java.

ToddersLegrande

@PythonInProgress the way I've done it in the past is to have your movement velocity based... so that would be step 1. You would always be affected by gravity and have to resolve the collision to be grounded. On jump just add a ton of velocity on the Y axis and gravity will automatically bring your player back down

ain't learnt that either xD

Not as much like straight C.

Of course both are C like...

7:40 PM

i tried c++ and things like header files etc make it hard to follow example scripts

PythonInProgress

@Dave @Byte56 i want to work with @CodeAssassin and @AlexM. someday

what are they working on ?

PythonInProgress

@ToddersLegrande that actually makes sense :D

@Dave Ars Ignis, at least Code will be a junior programmer for Alex soon

ToddersLegrande

The fun part is just tweaking the numbers from there to get the feel you like

PythonInProgress

thanks todders!

post that as an answer?

7:42 PM

I need Junior programmers :\

PythonInProgress

for what?

ToddersLegrande

@PythonInProgress gamedev.stackexchange.com/a/5726/13052

im a junior xD

A virtual pet game

ohh sounds fun

PythonInProgress

7:42 PM

i shall help. what language?

ToddersLegrande

DIGIMON WORLD CLONE :O

Digimon World Online :p

neopets style or tamagotchi style

ToddersLegrande

(We've had this conversation before :P)

Feed pet. Your pet has died.

7:42 PM

Slightly more tamagotchi style

ToddersLegrande

lol

PythonInProgress

@ToddersLegrande still post it

@Noctrine OOH

what language / platform ?

PythonInProgress

Ethoslab figured out all of the logic, when he made a tamigotchi in minecraft

today's tune soundcloud.com/little-frozen/1-keep-shelly-in-athens

ToddersLegrande

7:43 PM

@PythonInProgress I feel as though since your question is marked as dupe (whether properly or improperly thats yet to be determined I guess), and a dupe question has the answer I would be posting, I shouldn't post the answer

@Dave Mac / Windows, Android, iOS

logic is pretty straight forward its similiar to how sims do it over time needs increase then drops when you appeal it

PythonInProgress

@ToddersLegrande sadface

ToddersLegrande

Sorry bro

@Noctrine I think a game like Monster Rancher could be awesome on mobile devices

PythonInProgress

i would hagve acepted it

7:44 PM

The mobile editions are like tamagotchi.

you using C?

PythonInProgress

@Noctrine what language? ill learn it

LOL

@ToddersLegrande I spent forever trying to track down those monster rancher games...

Back in the pre-amazon has everything days.

PythonInProgress

every time i say "i feel stupid" or "i feel so stupid right now" it gets starred by someone :P LOLS

@Dave Not yet, and not likely.

7:46 PM

well i know javascript thats all :P

ToddersLegrande

Monster Rancher 1 and 2 were amazing. I wish I had tried 3 but I heard things went down hill from there. Can't speak from experience though.

@PythonInProgress That's an important moment in advancing.

Sell your bit coins: arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2013/06/…

It's so awesome how governments can just make a statement, without, like research, and cripple awesome stuff.

PythonInProgress

@Noctrine :D

7:47 PM

For sure.

can't they just move xD

@PythonInProgress The game server is C#, client stuff is in Unity (for now) C# and Unityscript

Web framework is python, at one point rails... but no. Now Django.

PythonInProgress

@Noctrine good

ah i don't know any of those languages

PythonInProgress

i want to learn C# and have unity

7:48 PM

@Dave Doesn't matter, other states will probably follow suit.

oh ok

C&D request notwithstanding, the statement is along the lines of "This is probably illegal" with no actual understanding of what the foundations role is in Bitcoin

If the state really thought it had an actual case, they would have just sued / fined immediately.

PythonInProgress

yeah

well if javascript comes into play i might be able to chip in some time

The point of it is, now that they have made this sweeping government type statement. It'll hamper the growth of bitcoin amongst the masses, and other states are likely to go "Well California said this, and we agree"

ToddersLegrande

7:50 PM

I wonder if we can get a sticky on Josh's comment there... lol

nWhich one?

ToddersLegrande

Think before you post

Such wise advice

ive always wanted to make a simcity game or a rollercoaster tycoon game but its too much work

@Dave Friend of mine was making a mobile app version of rollercoaster tycoon, but I've been out of the loop and don't know the progress.

ToddersLegrande

Mod powers ftw

7:51 PM

@Dave the first rollercoaster tycoon was written by one guy in assembly

i know

and you're complaining that it's too much work NOW?!

and the second

Chris Sawyer is one of my game development heroes, shame he went into seclusion.

mobile app would be too limited for an RCT game

PythonInProgress

7:52 PM

yeah

I disagree.

PythonInProgress

you really need the big screen

RCT3 is 3D and with the modding community its pretty awesome

Mobile devices have comparable resolutions to monitors at the time RCT1 and 2 were created.

PythonInProgress

true, but they're tiny

*most are tiny

7:53 PM

oh the isometric version might be sufficient for mobile/table

and UX design has come quite a long way as well.

especially the huge Galaxy S3

tablet*

RCT3 sucks :\

or Galaxy Note

SO TINY THEY ARE

PythonInProgress

7:53 PM

lol

it does not suck!

PythonInProgress

@AlexM. phones

well it sucked pre-user modding

@PythonInProgress both are phones

PythonInProgress

... NVM

HEY @CodeAssassin

Cod3 is your new name

ToddersLegrande

7:55 PM

@Noctrine true dat

To be fair... I'm rather biased towards "Theme Park"

oh man that game was terri-bad

all tycoons suck, you can't noscope hs in them

ToddersLegrande

I wasted so many hours in Theme Park

you can no scope hs animals in RCT3 :P

if they escape*

pics or it didn't happen

7:57 PM

Rgaal14 Acum 6 (de) luni
Hey, how do you zoom in to shoot ?

omg wtf noob

get some skillz or gtfo back to your farmville

@Dave but they don't die

they sleep to put back in their zoo area

lame i know xD

you what would have been more awesome? an AC 130

lols

i think i have about 5Gb of RCT3 mods on my pc xD

dogs would go like "WOOOF WOOOOF WOOOOOOOOOOOOF wuf"

translation: "ENEMY AC130 ABOVE!"

8:06 PM

bbc.co.uk/news/uk-23029507

ghosts!

headshot it

ToddersLegrande

Elections end in less than 24 hours people! GO VOTE IF YOU HAVEN'T!!!

gamedev.stackexchange.com/election?cb=1

PythonInProgress

@ToddersLegrande i dont have enough rep D:

ToddersLegrande

That's alright. Next time :)

8:16 PM

Only 5/8 completed the questions :\

ToddersLegrande

One of which was 5 hours ago...

If I'm elected, I... have no idea what I'll do. Probably use my mod powers to sit around and yell at people who get flagged. And make fart jokes.

ill add mine n just post " i like turtles"

im sure to win

Nominations are closed.

Otherwise you could.

noooo

ToddersLegrande

8:17 PM

@ShotgunNinja I have a confession... I didn't vote for you :(

i have to let the turtles down gently now

PythonInProgress

shotgun will use his powers to give me 7000 rep

@ToddersLegrande That's all right. I didn't vote for you either.

ToddersLegrande

I kind of only took those who responded to the questionnaire into serious consideration.

@ShotgunNinja :P

Is it possible to remove all the votes from those answers? So they'll show up equal?

ToddersLegrande

8:18 PM

Oooo good point

I tried to even it up lol

Gaps were too large though

did any one here go to e3

@Dave I was going to, but I didn't submit my stuff in time. Not to mention, it would have been way too expensive to miss that much work.

you have to apply to just visit the place?

You have to prove that you're industry-related

8:24 PM

but normal gamers go too

guy in scotland went all he does is youtube videos :P

Probably as media

he didnt have a booth obviously

As such, industry-related

well thats lame

theyd make way more money if they allowed gamers to visit

Na, it's good.

8:25 PM

w/ the booth rates

I think they are doing alright

Well alright-ish

as a consumer i want a say on things when they show alpha builds >.>

Lots of trouble with big people going "It's not worth it" these days

You wouldn't get a say at E3

well bf4 allowed people to play a round and write down what they like / didn't like

yet it was all ign people etc thats no good it should be us players

Christian Careaga

anyone that is familiar with pygame check out me and my friends RPG we are trying to get a small following for when we release it github.com/linkey11/Necromonster

if you take a look at it star it!

@ChristianCareaga that looks rather interesting.

ToddersLegrande

8:28 PM

@ChristianCareaga is there anything playable at the moment?

I think if you don't register in time (it's free at that point) the cost is 1k

:O

they could probably hire out a stadium and fill it with good profit

Christian Careaga

yeah the main game just download the zip in the bottom right you can play it if you have python and pygame

not worth 1k for me to tell them battlepacks are stupid

Not the intended audience, go to PAX or something

Christian Careaga

8:29 PM

@ToddersLegrande

ToddersLegrande

@ChristianCareaga press the up key to edit recently created chat messages ;)

And thanks

If I get ambitious enough to install Python and Pygame I'll check it out :P

Christian Careaga

ok thanks man! @ToddersLegrande

PythonInProgress

hey @ChristianCareaga

Christian Careaga

Oh! hey @PythonInProgress

PythonInProgress

:D

8:31 PM

@Noctrine There's a point before like 3 months in advance of E3 where it's $800... although if you have written proof that you're involved in a game project, you can usually add in a beg letter, and still get a free pass.

ToddersLegrande

Is this the friend? :P

PythonInProgress

whats the new game? stilll necromonster?

ToddersLegrande

Guess not haha

PythonInProgress

@ToddersLegrande yeah

I went in 2010 (or was it 2011? Memory is fuzzy) and got in for $575 or something.

8:32 PM

is it worth 500$

Depends

Are you gonna make the money back?

ToddersLegrande

I'd rather go to GDC

Christian Careaga

@PythonInProgress yup trying to get some publicity ahaha thanks for starring it

PythonInProgress

@ChristianCareaga i starred your post about Necromonster :D

:D

i can nose it about a bit

@ChristianCareaga is it going to be free?

Not really, although I got to battle against Fatal1ty, hang out with Blizzard folks, and meet a really cute IGDA chick who is also going into game programming.

8:33 PM

If you don't have something awesome you're ready to sell to the exhibitor people, or buy from the exhibitor people then probably not

Especially since you can do that exact same type of business at GDC

I also met the guy behind Antichamber, and stuff like that.

Aside from when I go to like, scope out conventions, they aren't a priority until I'm ready to exhibit :\

I only really went because my sister, who lives out there, was getting married the weekend afterwards.

Christian Careaga

@Yeah its acctually gonna be a pretty big project so depending how long it takes it might have a small price but i will give it to you for free since you were the first to see it!

@PythonInProgress

PythonInProgress

@ChristianCareaga :D

i think it would be worth a price, tho

8:34 PM

@ShotgunNinja Well yeah, if you live in the area, or have other business there then why not.

well i live in uk so it aint worth me ever going :P

Unfortunately, for like going to cool stuff, I'm in the midwest.

@Dave Oh yeah, hell no. Go to Gamescom instead.

ToddersLegrande

Midwest represent!

Christian Careaga

@PythonInProgress so yeah its there is alot we want to do with it so yeah we want some money from it since were two 15 year olds aha

PythonInProgress

8:35 PM

the reason im asking is because i has no monies :D

@ChristianCareaga im 13 :D

Midwest here too.

Milwaukee, WI

ToddersLegrande

Wisconsin represent!

PythonInProgress

The Keystone State Represent!

PA

Wisconsin, home of Gary Gygax and Tom Hall and such.

Christian Careaga

@PythonInProgress yeah see you would probably want some money for it to ahaha

PythonInProgress

8:36 PM

yep!

adarkroom.doublespeakgames.com

@PythonInProgress This game is so addicting..

Your Brewers are just as bad as our Cubs! 15+ games out... ouch.

ToddersLegrande

Hahaha...

@ShotgunNinja Beat it.

@Nate Fib

PythonInProgress

8:37 PM

gotta go now! ttyl all! :D

"Friendly Illinois Brethren"

Christian Careaga

@PythonInProgress later

PythonInProgress

bye :D

We'll still kick your ass at the match coming up.

Oh, that's tomorrow, isn't it?

designer-notes.com/?p=543 interesting read

8:39 PM

@ShotgunNinja Yeah. Next three days.

It'll be like fighting for the bottom of the pile :/

But I'm more into Hockey, and we're one win away from the cup.

:( - Red Wings

@Noctrine You can't hold it against Seabrook...

That was a nice OT goal.

@Nate Yeah, I'm all for the Blackhawks, which unfortunately makes me among the masses of "new" Hawks fans. I wish Wisconsin had an NHL team...

ToddersLegrande

I went to a few Madison Monsters games as a kid

Yeah, but that's not even in the NHL, and they moved to Knoxville, TN decades ago.

ToddersLegrande

8:47 PM

I was just contributing to a hockey conversation in the only way I could.. I know its not NHL

We have enough snow and ice, why can't we get some guys with sticks and pads together in an arena with some money?

ToddersLegrande

I also have "I watched a game of the stanley cup on TV once. I have no clue who played."

i can never see the puck in ice hockey when i watch

too small and too fast

@ShotgunNinja Yeah, I was always a fan, but the games weren't even on TV until the last few years.

Not sure if that was because they were locally blacked out (i.e. stadium didn't sell out) or what, but it was rough being a fan until they got good

I guess its some new blood that has given them new life. Five years ago, you could hardly find a blackhawks keychain at any of the tourist trap gift shops

@Nate Every time I've ever met anyone who identified as a Blackhawks fan, they always seemed rude, unruly, and unintelligent, up until a few years ago, when people who have no place at a hockey game started hanging up stuff.

8:50 PM

now, you can't go into one without finding a few

had a lot of fun with this on my PSP

the most exciting part of e3 for me ... abe oddysee is being re-made :D

@ShotgunNinja I think that's just how some hockey fans are...

@Nate and Bears fans, and Cubs fans...
