Good luck Tyyppi!

Jovito

@Tyyppi_77 bye

Jon

Bye

TheMuffinCoder

lol Jon when did you come

A wild Jon has appeared

Ali.S

@Tyyppi_77 SDF file should not be part of repo

.v12.suo file should be ignored too

Jon

i come from the depth of the seventh circle of hell

4

was okay i guess

TheMuffinCoder

00:02

Ah I have a friend there, always complains about the weather

Jon

friggen craig.

Ali.S

@TheMuffinCoder just tell him to shut up... I've been to places even worse than that

TheMuffinCoder

poor guy doesnt have a working fan

Pip

@Tyyppi_77 basically you will be able to put in what heros your team has and what the opposing team has, and then it will recommend heros based on lane coverage, what counters the opposing team, etc

TheMuffinCoder

Has to open the windows, but only carbon monoxide goes through

Hey guys what your favorite chemical name!

Ali.S

00:04

the first thing that came to my mind was H2S... but certainly it's not my favorite

Dave

Kryptonite

TheMuffinCoder

lol my fav is dimethylmercury

Read about it in a book once :P

Dave

shame it could not really be called kryptonite

Ali.S

guys need help with naming:

typedef std::pair<int, CommandInfo> commandChain##something; //delay, next command
typedef std::vector<commandChain##something> CommandChain;

what should "##something" be?

Dave

what is it meant to represent

Ali.S

00:08

well there is a command, and it can contain a list of sub commands

Pip

@TheMuffinCoder caffeine

Icy Defiance

SuperCommand

Ali.S

each subcommand should be started with some delay

Icy Defiance

basically code geass in code form

Ali.S

I'm gonna name it "part"

Dave

00:09

step

Pip

@TheMuffinCoder also Moronic Acid is good

Dave

stage

something like that

Icy Defiance

ooh stage could be good

Ali.S

i guess step is better

Dave

sequence?

Ali.S

00:10

nope step

Dave

i like to throw in the occasional word in my code encase some one reads it and then suddenly itll just have the word bacon as a label for something

Pip

@TheMuffinCoder HAHAHA get a load of this

Fucitol

Although this sounds like what an undergraduate chemist might exclaim when their synthesis goes wrong, it's actually an alcohol, whose other names are L-fuc-ol or 1-deoxy-D-galactitol. It gets its wonderful trivial name from the fact that it is derived from the sugar fucose, which comes from a seaweed found in the North Atlantic called Bladderwrack whose latin name is Fucus vesiculosis. Interestingly, there are a few articles in the Journal of Biochemistry throughout 1997 concerning a kinase enzyme which acts on fucose. The creators of these articles were Japanese, and seemed to ha…

read the whole thing please

TheMuffinCoder

LMAO

Pip

> The creators of these articles were Japanese, and seemed to have missed the fact that fucose kinase should not be abbreviated as 'fuc-K'. Similarly, the E. coli K-12 Gene has other proteins that have been named Fuc-U and Fuc-R. Recently, the abbreviation for fucose-kinase enzyme has been cleaned up to 'FUK'

TheMuffinCoder

they got trolled hard there

Pip

00:11

yep

Dave

yeah FUK is much cleaner

*Slow clap

Pip

lol

Ali.S

@Pip origin?

Pip

here's where I got it from

chm.bris.ac.uk/sillymolecules/sillymols.htm

> Thanks to Bob Brady for suggesting this one, and to Dr Stephen O'Hanlon from the Orthopaedics Dept of Bedford Hospital for the information on fucose kinase, and to Professor Anthony Davis of Bristol University for suggesting FucU and FucR. Thanks also to Jan Linders for telling me to FUK ORF.

TheMuffinCoder

OH NO MONODEVLOP OPENED

Pip

00:15

OH NO THE HORRER

TheMuffinCoder

UNITY U DOOMED ME NOW

it's stuck on the load splash screen

Pip

lol

TheMuffinCoder

Go away monodev I dont love you anymore since I meant VS

Pip

VS is great

I'm doing Android stuff with it and Xamarin

TheMuffinCoder

Yep I had unity set to VS but it randomly opened mono as well

Pip

00:17

you can get $2k in Xamarin licenses if you're a student... which I am pretty sure you are :)

TheMuffinCoder

lol but what would i do with xamarin

Pip

You can get a Xamarin.Android Business license and a Xamarin.iOS Business license for free

TheMuffinCoder

pretty useless to me

Pip

C# on mobile!

Jon

xamarin

TheMuffinCoder

00:17

But I can export Unity to Android already

Jon

wanna test on mobile?? give us money

TheMuffinCoder

Anyway if am not going to use Unity I rather use Java for mobile

Pip

@Jon I got it for free!

Jon

xamarin tends to the enterprise level people

TheMuffinCoder

+ i'd make it android exclusive >:^)

Pip

00:18

Student stuff is great. I have gotten all sorts of free shit

Jon

they made some shitty reach to indie

which was short

Pip

:(

Jon

indie are gonna go ue4 or unity

xamarin is effectively killling monogame for indie if you ask me.

and that market is already shrinking rapidly

Pip

Yeah I agree

TheMuffinCoder

#JavaMasterRace

#JavaScriptMasterRace

Jon

00:20

#MasterDebate

TheMuffinCoder

lol in reality I see JavaScript becoming the most used over all the languages

Pip

@TheMuffinCoder I was trying to find that "get out" gif, but I can't. So get out

jk XD

TheMuffinCoder

Go home Muffin you're drunk

Pip

yes

TheMuffinCoder

00:47

Doing progress on optimizing my map

Pip

cool

TheMuffinCoder

Am disabling colliders that wont reach the player like Jon suggested :D

hey Pip, do you think there would be a difference in performance in disabling the collider or using a prefab that never had it?

Jon

disabling / enabling colliders is expensive

TheMuffinCoder

@Jon but i only do it once

Jon

yeah, just limit it

TheMuffinCoder

00:52

wait so Jon if I were to use a prefab that never had a collider, would that be better than disabling one with a collider?

Jon

it would be "Better" yeah

depends on what you are doing though

TheMuffinCoder

map generation :D

Jon

yeah, that is no problem at all

TheMuffinCoder

So for my map, only those with a "x" have a collider enable

Jon

you do it during init

i was talking during gameplay

TheMuffinCoder

00:54

but once I implement chunk loading

i think it might become a problem there since I have to load and unload chunks

Am going to optimize my map more to remove trees that are out of view :P

OH HOLY COW LIGHTING JUST FLASHED NEAR MY WINDOW

Jon

are your maps goin to be so large as to need a chunk system?

TheMuffinCoder

Yep, I play on 524x524 tiles

Even larger if players can handle it

Jon

don't really need a chunk engine for that

TheMuffinCoder

oh xD

Jon

300,000 tiles can be stored in memory easily

TheMuffinCoder

00:57

whoa

Jon

seperate the data from the actual rendering

TheMuffinCoder

lol i do that already :P separate arrays

Jon

i wouldn't waste my time writing a chunk system for a defined world like that

chunk system becomes important when you don't want to load the entire world in memory

TheMuffinCoder

ah i see

like minecraft which has millions of blocks

Jon

that is a great example yeah

TheMuffinCoder

00:58

lol at max I would go only to 1000x1000

Jon

or very large defined worlds, that only show parts of a level, and lazy load as you move around

TheMuffinCoder

Hey Jon sorry to bother you but last question

But type of FPS do u usually get with your games?

I currently have 180 fps

Jon

depends on the game, lol

TheMuffinCoder

Just loaded a 128x128 map... unity froze for a bit but the game still goes smoothly 70fps :D
