Look how pretty the mouth is, I love hand painting in blender :D

Pip

@Lokkij Kivy requires Cython now? It didn't when I used it

Kivy is pretty nice though

@Almo tabs!

TheMuffinCoder

@Pip hey pip name one structure/tile

I want to practice hand painting in blender :D

Pip

Haunted house

TheMuffinCoder

:P smaller plz?

Pip

shark

Almo

I thought that .NYET comment would get a star :)

Pip

01:27

oh wait, that's not a structure or tile.

@Almo It did once I saw it :P

Almo

:D

when you empty the trash and it said "deleting 100k items" and you think... what did I delete?!?

oh yeah... probably the Reddcoin client

Pip

01:47

lol

Also, morning o/

Lokkij

09:43

I think I finally managed to install Cython. :D

RhysW

@Tyyppi_77 hey tyyppi how goes things?

user92578

@RhysW Okay, I'm working on trigger editing and it's a really big task

RhysW

sounds it

i've almost finished some of my basic animation classes, but after a 10 hour work day yesterday ive lost some of the motivation to code today

Lokkij

09:59

Yesss, I finally got Kivy running.

RhysW

whats kivy?

so i just found a small 8 line article from 11 years ago that held relevance to what i was doing completey by accident

Lokkij

@RhysW A python UI framework. I had quite a lot of trouble getting it installed.

RhysW

ahh right, i should probably start looking around to see if there are relevant frameworks i can use

user92578

11:09

I'm feeling like I'm getting crushed by the amount of stuff I need to add

RhysW

11:33

eh, just one thing at a time, you'll get through it eventually

user92578

11:45

I'm just so frustrated with this stuff

user92578

And don't really know where to go next

user92578

I'll take a break and clean the house a bit

RhysW

i always write a check list and work my way through it, breaking an item into smaller items if i get to it and think its a big bit of work

Hello guys, I've got a question about, I would call it "object prototyping" (?) - mechanics that's used in "The Elder Scrolls" game series, where objects have the "Base ID" - which is id of their prototype(?) and "Reference ID" - id of actual spawned object.

What's the real name of that mechanicsm/pattern/(?) ?

Hjorthenify

Good morning peeps!

Jon

I think you are just referring to instantiating objects... I don't think it is a specific design pattern, but I imagine someone gave it a name

Lokkij

^

Hjorthenify

^

Jon

Kinda the same concept as creating a prefab

user2475983

12:44

Alright, thanks. I hoped for some reading about such thing, cant really find anything like that when googling for "object prototyping" or similiar things :)

Volatile

@Jon hi

@Jon what are you doing

Hjorthenify

@user2475983 What is there to know? It's a fairly simple concept :P

Dev2rights

Im worndering if having 3 cameras is going to destroy the frame rate on mobile devices in unity

here goes....

user2475983

@Hjorthenify Well I though it's something bigger :)

Jon

13:12

i'm doing nothing

@Volatile

imgur.com/a/ek99M

really like this art style

Volatile

@jon awesome, you should consider writing a blog about your experiences

Jon

i should just update it more

Guys I need something like Greasemonkey but for IE

user92578

Ideas?

user92578

I might have found something

Almo

I won't bother you with the obvious answer.

user92578

?

Almo

"Fuck IE"

:)

I know you gotta do it

user92578

14:13

A TV service works best on it

Almo

right

I knew you had a good reason :)

Hjorthenify

14:40

I'm amazed by this picture(that's Pluto btw)

user92578

14:52

Can I not listen to keypresses while fullscreen?

Hjorthenify

Uh.. what?

user92578

in javascript

Jon

Pluto is made of plutonium

user92578

I'm not getting keydowns in fullscreen

Hjorthenify

Stop using IE then :P

Lokkij

14:56

My internet has been super shitty today. :(

user92578

@Hjorthenify This is in Chrome

Hjorthenify

Switch to the firefox masterrace then

user92578

The thing doesn't work there

Hjorthenify

Why do you need it in fullscreen anyways?

user92578

keyboard shortcuts for binding a PS3 controller buttons to the video player

Hjorthenify

14:59

ah

user92578

and they work fine when the player isn't fullscreen

user92578

Hmm I might just have to make the player not fullscreen and then do the things

user92578

yeah seems like it

Morning GDSE

Hjorthenify

15:36

Latest sourcetree update triggered avast because it contained a virus in one of the localization files

@TheMuffinCoder Morning!

user2475983

@Hjorthenify lol

TheMuffinCoder

@Hjorthenify Hi Hjorthenify =^.^=

user2475983

15:59

Anyone knows how to remove line breaks in UML editor in Intellij IDEA?

Almo

oh no... my blocks are Sprites, which don't handle touches. They need to be Images, apparently.

Jon

16:28

i see you @Almo, and you @TheMuffinCoder, and you @Pip and you @user2475983

Pings for everyone

Almo

hey jon

Jon

lol sup

Almo

got my scene transition done, now wiring up the grid for touches

Pip

Sup Jon

user2475983

@Jon Hi

Almo

16:29

should have something playable within 2-3 weeks

Pip

@TheMuffinCoder morning Muffin

Jon

@Almo cool, how long before we got ourselves a game?

Pip

@Almo awesome!

Jon

@Almo the only guy I know that starts with the menu

Almo

I hate menu programming

so I'm getting most of it out of the way first

Jon

16:30

yeah, i know what you mean.

Almo

Also, it's where I expected to either stop or continue using Unity

Jon

with unity it seems to take way longer than it should

UI stuff

Almo

if I couldn't get the menus to maintain their aspect properly, I was going to bite the bullet and go to Unreal

yeah

Jon

every settings, to me, seems unexpected

Almo

yeah

Jon

16:31

you have to essentially just tweak it

Almo

once I get grid touches, next I have to make my game widgets. rule indicators, time, remaining lives, pause button

TheMuffinCoder

@Pip Hi Pip ! :D

Pip

noice

TheMuffinCoder

Been making space ship sprites, going to make a cool space ship game :D

Pip

sounds awesome

TheMuffinCoder

16:34

Lol I hope the HTML5 canvas can support my plans for lots of particles

Otherwise I'll be forced to learn webgl sooner D:

Almo

@Jon ever use this? if (Input.touchCount > 0 && Input.GetTouch(0).phase == TouchPhase.Began)

Jon

yeah

Almo

I'm never getting anything above 0

Jon

doesn't work with mouse

Almo

wtf

Jon

16:36

if you are testing with mouse, just add mouseclick event

Almo

that's ridiculous

Jon

if unityEditor or whatever

Almo

do I need to do this for the webversion?

Jon

its because of multitouch, it is not the same input

Almo

I don't need multitouch

Jon

16:36

What you can also do, is call a function for each event type

Almo

can I just use mouseclick for mobile?

Jon

yeah

Almo

ok cool I'll do that then thanks

Jon

if you don't use multitouch or gestures, you can just use mouseclick

it will do the same at a single touch

mouseup/mousedown

Almo

ok thanks

Jon

16:37

np

Almo

@jon ok, clickable grid in place

thanks

next up, converting pages of Objective-C to C# for the level auto-generator

that's gonna be lots of fun :(

Almo

17:00

oh man. kind of got used to MVC, and Cognizer is a weird mix

learned a lot since I wrote that proto

Pip

17:30

lol

TheMuffinCoder

20:51

Lokkij

Stromae's videos are pretty good.

For some reason I had never seen any of them.

Hjorthenify

Stromae got arrested for acting drunk in one of his music videos. They had to postphone the recordings while he was taken to the station :P

Lokkij

Hahahah

That'd probably be this one (one of his more normal videos)

Hjorthenify

I think it was for "formidable", but I am not sure

Yup

Hjorthenify

21:41

TheMuffinCoder

22:20

; - ; there's a new xbox coming out soon and i just got my xbone last year

TheMuffinCoder

22:32

@Pip @Jon @Hjorthenify We have to make a ps4 game

store.playstation.com/#!/en-us/games/xeodrifter/…

we can definitely do 200x better than that

Ali.S

for some reason my when I pressed my escape key, caps lock triggered

I had same problem with f4, it was mapped to f1

TheMuffinCoder

how old is your keyboard?

Ali.S

@TheMuffinCoder 6 years... but the culprit was about an spoon of water, I spilled on my keyboard last year

same age as my laptop

TheMuffinCoder

Wait i thought keyboards were water proof

Ali.S

some are... not all of them tough

TheMuffinCoder

22:36

I once split ice tea on my keyboard once and still works fine :D

@Ali.S we'll now its your chance to get a cool mechanical ergonomic one :D

Jon

my son looked at me and said, i shat my pants

Ali.S

@TheMuffinCoder well I do have that for when I'm at home

Jon

figured he was joking then he elaborated -- no really i thought it was a fart but it wasn't

nope, he shat his pants

good times

Ali.S

and I have an extra monitor at hope... but I can't take those every where with my laptop, can I?

so I just changed my keyboard today, for total of $23

TheMuffinCoder

@Jon lmao my younger brother told me that once and I had same reaction as u

@Ali.S :D atleast it wasnt too pricey

Jon

22:38

lol, i was like, okay, well go change your pants

TheMuffinCoder

XD

Hey Jon

How hard do u think it would be to publish to the ps4/xbone (say from Unity)

I read that its pretty easy/low cost

Jon

22:55

easy peasy

if you got money

you got no problems

TheMuffinCoder

oh ouch

I did some research and its not low cost anymore for the ps4

the xbone is going to let any console become a dev kit as well soon

Jon

you need to be a accredited ps4 developer

if you are not, you need to contact ps4 and get approved

the process is ridiculous

playstation.com/en-us/develop

TheMuffinCoder

Platforms I can publish to: ~~ps4~~ xbone android steam newgrounds

Jon

lol

<3

TheMuffinCoder

:D

:P ios isnt worthy to be on the list

Almo

23:03

@TheMuffinCoder Kongregate

TheMuffinCoder

true that too :D

Almo

maniac-games.com/Prototype/Cognizer

if you select a game mode and a difficulty, it goes to the game scene now. just no rules or anything set up yet

good progress last few days

user2475983

What's the game will be about?

Jon

23:23

WebGL

are you going to add sliding?

or it is strictly 1 panel at a time

MickLH

@TheMuffinCoder so about those assets :P

I'm trying to run around in a 3D world here man

Wondering what the gameplay was supposed to be!

I really like that game, "Walking around a little confused, just looking at things."

Almo

23:50

@Jon no sliding, just a grid of 5 squares. you'll see the gameplay as soon as it's working. Maybe 2-3 weeks, I think

:)

the plan is initially to have just standard mode on... say Kongregate for free. with pointers to the mobile versions, which will be $2 or $3, with all three modes

later might implement buying the other two modes for Kreds.

Jon

Lame

Lol the model is lame man you need to rethink that

MickLH

I'm always itching to bash anything the moment money is involved too lol

You may say I'm a dreamer. But I'm not the only one.

Jon

I hope some day you will join us
