Jon

i gots ones

wut is that @Ali.S

Ali.S

@Jon the game I've been working on, with a bunch of friends

Lokkij

Mmmm, this is such a positive experience! I feel no social pressure to enjoy it at all!

Ali.S

waiting for it's approval in a local market, so sorry if you can't use it's inapp purchases... :P

OMGtechy

@Lokkij I said that to someone last Friday

I drink G&T whilst everyone else suffers with beer.

Lokkij

18:12

When you talk to people individually in a safe environment they sometimes admit they don't really like it either

But everyone feels wayy to pressured to drink it

OMGtechy

If someone buys me a beer I'll attempt to drink some of it out of politeness

Almo

Nice assist and kill with Thresh

►

Jon

ok, what the fuck is going on with filezilla

OMGtechy

and sometimes I like a beer with dinner

Jon

Almo

18:13

I'm the green guy with the chains

Jon

Check this out

OMGtechy

but other than that no beer

Jon

Click on one of these files, it re-directs to Sourceforge, and adds bullshit to the installer

fuck them... anyone know of a filezilla replacement?

Lokkij

Man I remember playing AD Thresh for fun

OMGtechy

terminal?

Jon

18:14

no gui

Lokkij

I had introductory camp this weekend; my hair still smells of yoghurt xD

OMGtechy

how are those two things related? xD

Lokkij

You can probably guess :P

We played some dirty games (the nonsexual meaning)

OMGtechy

umm

yoghurt making camp?

Lokkij

By the end, everyone was covered in yoghurt and flour and jelly and glitter

OMGtechy

18:16

sounds like a kinky orgy

Lokkij

Hahahaha

OMGtechy

food fight?

Lokkij

Kind of

Jon

Thanks sourceforge.

Lokkij

OMGtechy

@Jon I've used winscp before

Jon

Spread the word. fileZilla is dead.

OMGtechy

@Lokkij never heard of it

Lokkij

I'll put up a photo once they're online

Jon

18:18

@Ali.S got a screenshot?

Ali.S

OMGtechy

Almo

Jon

18:19

OMGtechy

Almo

OMGtechy

I've flagged

Pip

@Jon I flagged

Ali.S

I think the google play version will be out in maybe two months

Pip

God damn that's annoying

Jon

@Ali.S I see.

Pip

18:22

@Ali.S 2 years?

Jon

Ok, uninstalled -- you need to get a google play version out man

Ali.S

@Pip I was kinda distracted

Pip

that's a different story @Ali.S :P

OMGtechy

@SimonForsberg ello

Pip

Hi

Jon

@Ali.S looks really cool though

TheMuffinCoder

18:24

We're the hi police

OMGtechy

@SimonForsberg thanks :)

Jon

I got so many likes for my space taxi clone... I need to finish up that game

OMGtechy

@TheMuffinCoder we are, can't have greetings here

Ali.S

@Jon you can still install that market application, and it'll work just fine after that

TheMuffinCoder

We don't take hi lightly around here

Jon

18:24

@Ali.S already got google play, and amazon

TheMuffinCoder

xD Came to rest a bit, been doing all my summer homework the past 3 days

Jon

Not sure why you would code for that store.. :/

OMGtechy

man I feel like making an android app now

Almo

don't do it man!

TheMuffinCoder

DO IT!!! I believe in you

OMGtechy

18:25

NATIVELY

TheMuffinCoder

But beware... you must face java

Ali.S

@Jon maybe because people in Iran usually can't pay with dollars?

OMGtechy

well I could write it in C# or C++

Almo

much worse than facing java

OMGtechy

but I wanna do it in Java

TheMuffinCoder

18:25

>:^) you still have to code a small wrapper in java

Almo

fucking android studio

OMGtechy

ahaha

Jon

@Ali.S IRAN SUCKS!!! :P

TheMuffinCoder

Lol use Eclipse waits for bait

OMGtechy

@TheMuffinCoder goes for bait

Ali.S

18:25

@Jon yeah... like everywhere else in the world

TheMuffinCoder

bait turns out to be a cookie

A RAISIN COOKIE

OMGtechy

It's super effective!

OMGtechy faints

Jon

I choose you pikachu

Simon Forsberg

@OMGtechy suspended for one hour

OMGtechy

Pip

@TheMuffinCoder yeah so have I but you've focused more on it :P

TheMuffinCoder

xD

Jon

Space Taxi -- revived by some guy that played it when he was a kid

Gets sued

TheMuffinCoder

18:29

I don't mind doing hw much anymore :P my laptop is pretty much Unusable while I wait for my Bitcoin wallet to sync

Uses 100%cpu and disk write

Jon

Heh.. I walk into my computer room now -- and I am like why is my PC off...

Pip

@Jon nah, probably wont

Jon

Oh wait, its not, its just super quiet

Pip

Haha that's awesome

Space Taxi

Space Taxi is an action game for the Commodore 64 written by John Kutcher and published by Muse Software in 1984. It simulates a flying taxi controlled by thrusters. The game features early uses of sampled speech. The samples include "Hey taxi!", "Pad one please" (and similar samples for different pads), "Thanks" and "Up please". These are said in a variety of voice pitches, creating the feeling of different taxi customers. == Gameplay == In addition to thrusters, the taxi has landing gear that can be switched on or off. Switching landing gear on disables the side thrusters, but landing without...

Simon Forsberg

@Jon this was the first time I got to use that feature. Haven't been a mod that long. Maybe a bit harsh, but 7 "Hi" messages in 2 minutes seems a bit overkill to me.

Pip

18:30

probably won't get sued for that

Jon

@Pip he released a new version a few years ago

it was horrible

Pip

Oh really

link?

Jon

yeah, and a guy made a remake for the PC

TheMuffinCoder

@Jon Lol Jon make SPACE BUS

Jon

it is exactly like the c64 version, it is awesome

he got a cease and desist

Then he talked to the creator, and he was allowed to continue

Pip

18:30

oh man

Jon

it is releasedc

Pip

Space Bus would be interesting

Jon

Space Bus...

Pip

same concept but multiple objectives

Jon

Interesting

TheMuffinCoder

18:31

lol or go more hardcore Space Pickup

You're a flying pickup truck

Jon

Galactic Taxi

Space Taxi! "different cuz it has a !"

Almo

Unity aspect-fixed menu working

►

Jon

@Almo using my code?

Almo

no, I ended up using something different. I had problems with the text boxes with your system :(

TheMuffinCoder

freedoge.co.in Free dogecoins :D

Jon

18:33

what did you do?

Pip

petitions.whitehouse.gov/petition/…

Almo

the text stuff is in a vertical layout box in a canvas set to screen scale with height

Pip

@TheMuffinCoder @Almo ^

Jon

I don't understand why religion is still a thing when it comes to public service

TheMuffinCoder

lol the constitution

Almo

18:33

the boxes in background are GOs with sprites attached, and all of that in a canvas set to screen scale with width

Jon

In Canada, I had the option of swearing in on the bible, or say an oath

Pip

@Jon they should be completely seperate

Jon

I chose the oath

TheMuffinCoder

I chose to make a oat on oatmeal

Almo

both canvases uses an AspectRatioFitter to force it to fit a fixed aspect rectangle into the screen

Jon

18:34

Sounds over complicated

So you are doing it right

Almo

hahah

:)

so I think I have all the tools I need to do the rest of the layouts in the game

Jon

awesome man

Almo

what a fucking hassle

Pip

@Almo have another sub on YT btw :D

Jon

I need to get back into my gamedev

Almo

18:35

yeah I want to see your block game done

TheMuffinCoder

@Pip I'll sub :D

Jon

I have been so busy at work... then I got super sick... then I built my new PC

Almo

hehe

Pip

I do too.... school and electronics though man

Only one of those is fun :P

TheMuffinCoder

What's your channel Pip? ^_^

Pip

I'm jgallant

Almo

Jon

I like subway subs, but not the ads

TheMuffinCoder

Almo x 2001 is almo2001

Meaning that there are 2002 almos in existence

Jon

Hey, to play heists, do you have to get to the single player heists in GTA?

Pip

HOLY CRAP omfg

jgallant Game Demo

►

Jon

18:39

I don't see them in multiplayer

Pip

Jon omfg

Jon

LOL, where did you fijnd that

Pip

I remember Infinidrill

OMGtechy

so the default project made by android studio doesn't even build

good job

Pip

@OMGtechy awesome

Almo

18:39

I got hacked in WIII once

Pip

Android Studio is a bitch man. I have to use it for robotics this year.... took a while to get things working

Jon

@Pip that was the prototype for infinidrill

Almo

someone got pissed at me in a game, then suddenly they were hosting custom games with a partially finished map I was making with my name embedded in it

Jon

25 Jun 2012

DAYUM

I was married at that point

Pip

@OMGtechy now I'm scared to change the config settings because they might break it

@Jon a while ago :P

@Almo how is that a bad hack :P

I understand it's bad since.... it's a hack

but still, not too bad of consequences

Almo

18:41

I didn't say it was "a bad hack" I said I got hacked.

Pip

true

Jon

Infinidrill Demo Video (pre-alpha)

►

Pip

hey look, a second channel

TheMuffinCoder

its our chance, time to sub to Jon's channel

Jon

I didn't know what I was doing much back then

haven't posted videos in a while

Pip

18:42

those bombs are awesome

Jon

yeah, that game was a great learning experience

too bad I never released anything out of it

LOL, the lighting

so much time spent on that lighting, and it was so shitty

ujwal dhakal

hello jon how you

Jon

sick and tired

u?

Almo

@jon oh yeah

the blocks are created at runtime with aspect checking code

Pip

you should release it, it's pretty cool

ujwal dhakal

18:45

fine these days

Jon

@Almo seriously?

@Pip I guess I could.. that is Monogame

Pip

mhm

Jon

its not really a game, more of a game engine

ujwal dhakal

Jon am so eager to show you my first card library

Almo

using UnityEngine;
using UnityEngine.UI;
using System.Collections;
using System.Collections.Generic;

public class BackgroundScroller : MonoBehaviour
{
	public GameObject RootBackgroundObject;
	public GameObject BlockerTop;
	public GameObject BlockerBottom;
	public GameObject Gradient;

	private Rect CanvasRect;
	private List<GameObject> BackgroundRows = new List<GameObject>();

	void Start()
	{
		GameObject globalObj = GameObject.Find("Globals");
		SharedData sharedData = globalObj.GetComponent<SharedData>();

ujwal dhakal

18:46

but need some time to finish it up

Jon

@ujwaldhakal you pulled it off?

Pip

Is this your son? youtube.com/watch?v=EGR41pyoUqc

Almo

yeah there's the code

Jon

@Pip yeah, lol

ujwal dhakal

no i created by my own

OMGtechy

18:46

Railroad thermite welding

►

Pip

lol

Almo

seems to work. even tried it with freeaspect and a bunch of different ones

Pip

@OMGtechy such a cool video

Almo

it doesn't resize at runtime though. do I need that for a web build?

OMGtechy

I don't know why but yes @Pip

Almo

18:47

for motherfuckers who resize their browser? or should I force a certain size?

Jon

yeah, if you resize that start() won't be doing shit

do you lock the rotation?

Almo

yeah

yes

game will ship portrait only

Jon

should be fine

don't get me started on unity and orientation

Almo

hahah yeah

Jon

Man, I still don't get it.

The engineers at unity say it is by design

And I don't get it.

Hjorthenify

18:50

@Pip Try to multiple top and bottom with (2x+2)

Pip

that doesn't do anything useful

Almo

agreed jon it's ridiculous

Jon

"If you turn off auto rotate in the system settings of the device, all you tell the OS is to not rotate automatically when you tilt the device. Applications still can rotate the screen."

This is not true.

Hjorthenify

@Pip It gets rid of the bottom.

Pip

no? it makes the bottom (2x+2)^2

Jon

18:52

Anyways... if you want to allow auto rotations to work with system settings in unity -- you need to create an extension in android studio.

in java

Hjorthenify

@Pip No? The bottom is (2x-2) right now

Pip

oh I see

how does that cancel?

Jon

Now, Unity also adds 3 bullshit permissions.

Hjorthenify

@Pip If I remember correctly it should..

Jon

can't get rid of these permissions unless you dump to java, alter it in android studio, and build it manuallly.

greatly alters your workflow

It is fucken ridiculous

Pip

18:53

@Hjorthenify it ends up as 4x^2-4 on the bottom

Jon

I can just imagine what Unity 6 is going to look like

Hjorthenify

Err.. Been a while since I've done this kind of math. Nvm then :P

Pip

lol

Jon

Unity 6 -- now the camera is locked to on and auto streams to the internet everytime someone uses your app

why, no fucken reason

Main reason I am contemplating investing time to learn UE

Unfortunately, it is shitty for 2d

Pip

I kind of want to learn UE

make something cool in 3d

Jon

18:55

Open source is the way to go man

Pip

idk if I have the time/motivation though

Jon

Unity is showing me this

Pip

truetrue

I might have to learn UE for that jam @Almo mentioned in September

Jon

Yeah.. I need to do a jam.. i'm too damn old

too many responsibilities

Pip

I did the last LD

Jon

18:56

I can't just sit here and code for 20 hours anymore

Pip

It was fun, but really freaking stressful

Jon

yeah. i can imagine heh

Pip

I coded maybe... around 20 hours. Most of my time was freaking art

Jon

i wrote that skydiving game in 7 hours one day

i like doing shit ilke that

Wish I could do it more often

Pip

skydiving game?

Jon

18:58

man I love my new pc

yeah lol, that skydiving game I made with my kid

TheMuffinCoder

But can it run? MINESWEEPER?

Pip

Oh I see

@TheMuffinCoder probably, depends on OS not PC specs at this point

TheMuffinCoder

Muffin proceeds to play minesweeper on his potato, with potatOS

Jon

unfinished here

i posted the EXE in here like a year ago or so, heh
