@hello u fix that shit yet?

Because I literally gave you the answer, right above what you wrote

kinda

docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/…

Lokkij

@hello you could also technically convert it to a List<T> and use its ForEach method, though that's generally a bit silly.

Jon

starwars.ea.com/starwars/battlefront/beta

sucks that you have to get Origin to play it

Kevin van der Velden

I like how playing it on a console is implicitly not an option

Jon

it is though

Kevin van der Velden

Not with what you said =p

You said you have to get origin to play it, therefor you can only play it with origin, which is a pc thing

Jon

10:11 AM

I guess that is just for the PC version

why do you have to be so damn logical this early

Lokkij

80 days is amazing by the way.

Kevin van der Velden

@Jon It's the afternoon here

La la la git filter-branching so much stuff away

Why is obj/Debug committed? Le sigh

Jon

so I had far cry 3

I thought it was with Origin

But it doesn't have it under my account -... so where the hell is it

Kevin van der Velden

Far cry is ubisoft right? That's uplay

Jon

i'm not installing another store

they can keep it, frig that

MickLH

1:26 PM

Good morning everyone.

Or bad morning.

Almo

@KevinvanderVelden Uplay isn't a store though... it's a cross-polination social achievement BSthing.

Kevin van der Velden

@Almo from which you can also purchase things

Almo

can you purchase games from it though?

Kevin van der Velden

And download games you have on it

Almo

if you can, that's new. :)

ok so it's expanded

I don't really play Ubi games

Kevin van der Velden

1:32 PM

I played the rainbow six siege beta

Almo

I tried Grow Home, mainly because my pal wrote the text for it.

but man it was just so boring

spend most of your time looking at a stalk as you climb with typically boring ubisoft controls

you get where you're going... then because of the wonky controls you fall off and have to climb again

nope, no thanks

@Jon that was a fun game

great thing was that it sounded really funny when you messed up

Four more carmakers join diesel emissions row

Mercedes-Benz, Honda, Mazda and Mitsubishi have joined the growing list of manufacturers whose diesel cars are known to emit significantly more pollution on the road than in regulatory tests

MickLH

Why do people always fall for benchmarks

Kevin van der Velden

Where benchmark is a government required limit? An usual meaning of the word I suppose

Jon

The main issue is, that they all knew about it and didn't give a fuck

And no one is going to go to jail over this

Almo

worse they were actively subjugating the tests right?

Jon

1:56 PM

proprietary firmware

Kevin van der Velden

@Almo yeah

MickLH

@KevinvanderVelden I know you're playing devil's advocate here, but I'm not even in the mood for the slightest amount of BS, sorry.

Kevin van der Velden

@Jon yay dmca :D (that was pretty much why they didn't have to give the firmware)

@MickLH What devils advocate? You're using a wildly incorrect word =p

MickLH

Cool story!

Almo

let's not have a screaming match over semantics :(

MickLH

1:57 PM

ever.

If you argue semantics, ever, once. Ever. You're stupid and gay

user92578

Jon

The article states that only VW cheated the tests.. but who knows

user92578

Redid the spawner sprite

Jon

i don't like how the exclamation dissolves down

user92578

okay

MickLH

1:58 PM

"Rolling Down" animation looks bad, make it expand away while fading opaque

user92578

how would it look better?

MickLH

lol more great irony

Jon

if it look4ed like it closed .. you could possibly make it close horizontally as well

and faster

MickLH

That could work if you had a good easing curve

user92578

aight, I'll try

user92578

1:59 PM

thanks for the feedback jon :)

Jon

if it popped out with a easeInOut

easings.net

2

user92578

Looks like currently it's just a Lerp

MickLH

Right, which is part of why it's so bad

Jon

EaseOutBack

MickLH

Use that bezier code I basically designed for you to be able to understand without calculus

You know? the one specifically for easing curves?

The one you wrote that exactly takes the easing parameters, and gives you a function over [0, 1], remember that one?

user92578

2:01 PM

now that I'm at it, how's that new spawner hole looking?

MickLH

Almost as bad as the bullet impacts

user92578

I also need to work on the enemies just popping

Jon

i originally read pooping

user92578

lol

MickLH

Also good call @Jon, I was thinking easeInOut too lol

user92578

2:03 PM

I guess the spawner sprite could use some more work?

Jon

- Immerse yourself in a realistic world where enemies shit in the jungle

user92578

lol

MickLH

@KevinvanderVelden Ok I have the patience to explain you down now... The government imposed test is a project "Requirement" not an "Implementation" of said requirement.

user92578

MickLH

The benchmark is one possible implementation of said project requirement.

user92578

2:05 PM

So that's both scalings in 0.75 seconds using a smoothstep

Almo

@Tyyppi_77 hmm still not convinced

MickLH

Another possible implementation is: Actually measuring them on the road...

Almo

might work if it's much faster

like maybe 2-3 frames

Jon

yeah triple the speed

Pip

agreeed

Jon

2:06 PM

and add a bubble pop animatino at the end

user92578

oh that sounds good

Jon

Almo

one issue with it is your graphics are pixelly, and the scaling makes the pixels change size

MickLH

that's pretty beautiful

user92578

right ill see if I can draw that

Almo

2:07 PM

looks immediately out of place

MickLH

That's why I said scale up

Almo

even scaling up is wrong

MickLH

You can just let it blur by using interpolation

Almo

what you want is maybe 3 frames of animation maintaining the pixel size

Jon

yeah

i would say, make it slightly bigger first

Then exponentially make it smaller

user92578

2:08 PM

aight

user92578

hold on, I'll whip out the bezier editor and add a new ease

MickLH

You're welcome.

user92578

what's a good name for a ease like that?

MickLH

@Almo So far my animation is the only one that can fit these parameters lol

Pip

OutExpIn?

Jon

2:10 PM

easings.net/#easeInBack

MickLH

Opacity out in 3 frames before it reaches a full pixel of zoom, with linear interpolation (between pixels)

user92578

Ah, right

MickLH

Have fun noobs lol

user92578

cubic-bezier.com/#.3,-0.3,1,.3

user92578

so something like that

Jon

2:12 PM

yeah

Pip

@MickLH oh true I think that would look much better

MickLH

And thank you, @KevinvanderVelden, for not responding.

user92578

what would look much better?

user92578

oh wait

user92578

actually I don't care

MickLH

2:12 PM

@Pip Probably because you've seen it before somewhere lol

Pip

probably

MickLH

It's pretty much the basic formula for "ghosting out" everywhere I've seen...

Seems like everyone else is on a half-assed "scrolling closed" trip

Which almo already debunked the core of that concept... Pixels get lost

user92578

Jon

i think it is pretty good

MickLH

Well there's proof for my first notion, that a good easing could save that idea

user92578

2:19 PM

really? that's nice

user92578

still needs a popping thing you think?

Almo

Broforce was just "released"

not just "Early access" anymore

user92578

yeah

user92578

wait released?

Almo

yeah

like, Version 1 (if they're calling it that)

Prison Architect, too

user92578

2:26 PM

I thought they were meant to launch on the 15th

Almo

oooh

maybe

user92578

user92578

lol yeah

user92578

I really need to buy that game

Almo

2:28 PM

great game

user92578

They've given so much for me

Almo

:)

user92578

I think I had the idea for GunHero before seeing Broforce

user92578

But it really refined by ideas

user92578

And it has given be great guidance

Almo

2:29 PM

yeah

user92578

Some great design there

Almo

broforce isn't amazingly original, except maybe the idea of tons of non-selectable different heros

user92578

well I guess so

Almo

games don't have to be super original to be awesome.

it's a very, very good implementation of a shooty platformer

user92578

True, however I feel that GunHero is way too close to Broforce currently

Almo

2:31 PM

could be

user92578

Uint8 goes from 0 to 255, right?

Almo

yeah

user92578

aight, just wanted to be sure

Almo

but it's your first game project right?

user92578

well the first real one I guess

user92578

2:32 PM

I spent some time on a game of sorts in Python and Pygame

Almo

:)

user92578

"the caver"

user92578

but that wasn't really much, it was really lame and bad I guess

user92578

but it had all sorts of basic game stuff, so it was a great learning project

Almo

:)

user92578

2:32 PM

I came nowhere near to finishing that, the performance was crap

user92578

I just thought about also fading the bubble away:

user92578

small initial value bug it seems

Almo

oof

user92578

oof?

Almo

2:35 PM

unpleasant bug

user92578

ah, yeah

Oh is there a way to hide starred posts from someone you've ignored?

I feel like that should happen automatically

Kevin van der Velden

Not automatically no

There's a user stylesheet thing I think

Ah no, guess not

I thought stars also had the userid class

what you tryin to block that youtube vid from jon?

Not that much to search for in a script

Yeah, I don't know if there's a css for "Has a child matching"

Then you could just go for a li element containing an a element with the proper href

Almo

needs more jquery

user92578

3:02 PM

Shouldn't this be something that would get done automatically?

user92578

By the site I mean

Almo

you would think so. it says "ignore everywhere"

user92578

Should I make a meta post or something?

Almo

search for one first

Q: Starred message from ignored users should not show up

When you ignore a user, you don't want to read their posts. However, if messages by such users get starred, they do show up in the sidebar list of starred messages even though you ignore them.

Almo

upvoted

user92578

I can't upvote it tough

Almo

pour quoi pas

(why not)

user92578

not enough rep

I disagree

user92578

now why would you star that?

Almo

3:25 PM

as a joke

cleared

user92578

ah

user92578

well, I appreciate that

user92578

for some reason, even when I think things trough, I always use the wrong one when I'm using min / max

Almo

A comes before I in the alphabet, so Max is the smaller one

user92578

fuck I'm having hard time setting up a situation for showing the new bubble stuff

MickLH

3:30 PM

lol man...

I used to have that problem with min and max back when I coded emotionally as a kid too

user92578

Well here we go

MickLH

If you're just mathematically analytic about every detail, you never have that problem

Same thing with pointer arithmetic

Jon

finally

@Tyyppi_77 that is great

user92578

@Almo Might be this, I guess I got confused while thinking "what if this is bigger than the limit"

user92578

3:33 PM

@Jon Thanks!

user92578

yeah I'm happy with that

MickLH

Oh, also, Stage 2 "told you so" on the opacity

We'll just wait for him to try and put text into it now, to get to stage 3 lol

Almo

@Tyyppi_77 I was lying to you though

user92578

The down animation is the in back ease, and the up animation is just a smoothstep

Almo

max is the bigger one. :)

user92578

3:34 PM

yeah I know :)

Almo

:D

so with that version of the animation. I'd just speed it up a bit.

turning out though

Jon

i like how it gets a little bigger before it shrinks

MickLH

I love when people try to pretend they didn't mess up

user92578

yeah it's really awesome

Almo

yeah jon

MickLH

3:35 PM

It's ok to admit someone tricked you, it just means you trusted them and they were deceptive

user92578

@Almo Sure, I'll try, but I'm a little scared that I'll lose the biggening

Almo

then let the biggening last a bit longer in the scheme

the bouncing just seems laconic for an EXCITED or NOTICED SOMETHING mark

user92578

laconic?

Almo

slow, uninspired

user92578

oh

user92578

3:37 PM

I'll see about that

user92578

I kinda like it, it draws your focus a little more

MickLH

Hmm he's liking the "biggening"... smells like phase 3 "told you so" might come earlier than expected

user92578

but it's a valid point, and i will try it out

MickLH

I hope you guys had fun using all this time :P

user92578

3:39 PM

so that's now a bit quicker, and I think it's better

@tereško there are so many things wrong with that comic

tereško

@Almo the whole series or just that one strip?

Almo

"stray" is used wrong, and "gloryhole" (if you look up its actual meaning) is a very strange word to use as an insult

just that one :)

tereško

twogag.com/archives/4 (start here)

Kevin van der Velden

@Almo gloryhole is not a weird word to use as an insult

Also the meaning is very much NSFW

MickLH

Using "glory hole" in that context would be a rather extreme insult, but it's definitely unorthodox so I'd say it's still "strange" to use that way.

Almo

5:22 PM

it seems weird to me because of how they function.

Kevin van der Velden

She's saying his mouth is a gloryhole

Almo

I've never seen it used as an insult. But whatever, those are minor points that don't really change the point of the comic :)

Kevin van der Velden

Never seen something used as an insult just means it's a better insult!

MickLH

Right, that's the context I parsed it in, but I've never seen such usage so I labeled it "unorthodox"

and again, I never cast a doubt upon the validity of the insult. I only intended to support calling it "strange"
