@Pip 1-2 weeks for movement/combat/basic gameplay... 1-2 months to get a fairly polished game flow in with bells n whistles

nah i was fucked up somewhere now its ok ty

@JoshPetrie are u into c++ programing ?

gaming ?

i mean game develepment ?

josh is a pro

:)

:D

@ChrisMcFarland cool, thanks

@JoshPetrie i have a question about full screen mode sreen resolutions and ect. there is a lot to ask but try to bu accurate as possible , so till now i was coding 800x600 and now i want to go into a full screen

mode but actually i know nothing about and do not really know what to look first . So till now i made all my textures sprites based on 800x600 resolution and now want to go into a full screen mode do i have to make a new sprites and textures for that resolution or how does this works i mean there is alot of resolutions so do i have to make for each of them ? cuz the game i made players will have different resolutions so how is this works i mean

if i would do everything based on my resolution they would have to by forced to switch into ?

all games are in fullscreen :D

smbc-comics.com/comic/the-rubber-duck-method

@JoshPetrie so i have to make textures and sprites for the highers possible resolution and then just scale them to lower resolution ?

Borderless windowed is where it's at

I don't like Windowed most of the time

is it same thing with borderless ?

can't you just render in lower res and then stretch the rendered image on the borderless window

yea but isnt better to do high to low ?

okay ty for info josh will go too look more info about scaling

I think I've made the saddest looking palm tree.

can confirm

@Josh How do you feel about ODST?

@Sie i like the water aspect

For some reason my game isn't loading now, and I can't quite figure out why... Sigh.

I didn't even make that water. Just placeholder for now.

Yo Sie and Pearson while you're here

What I'm doing is applying a Texture2D to a Material

That's what it looks like the next set of UVs over

which is correct

I'm almost convinced it's a unity error... Sigh.

and there's no bleeding into the third set of UVs

I'm not sure if it's just me but it looks crooked.

Might be my eyes playing a trick on me though.

I'm not sure I quite understand what you are asking...

third set

what I'm asking is if you know why that's happening

the first set is supposed to be transparent

instead it's bleeding over the first pixel of the next image in the atlas

By default the transparency is turned off usually...

^ Have you messed with the shaders? You have to fiddle around with the legacy shaders to get transparency working iirc.

I haven't

can confirm Alpha is set to be Transparency

So, the third set is showing up as red, and it should't be? Just trying to understand exactly what the issue is.

the first set

i.stack.imgur.com/LV3UP.png is showing up as the first pixel of i.stack.imgur.com/bOOOi.png

Try going under Shader -> Legacy -> Transparent

where is that?

For the material.

Ya.

oh got you

I think there's a shader option for the newer material that allows for transparent textures as well, but I'm not sure.

okay, first option looks transparent now

hmm

the lighting is different

but looks like it's working now ish

ooh maybe I fixed it

It's a different shader, the lighting would be different.

right

whoa this is wierd

Use the default shader, I think there's a transparency option of some kind. But it sounds like you found that.

yep

that's super odd

hey guys i have a doubt, im using unity and writting c# scripts is it possible in 1 array store the reference to an enemy instantiated in that moment and assign him a random Keyboard letter or number?

sure?

Anyways, got to run, so...

thanks dude

Seems like what I want isn't transparent mode, it's Fade apparently

/shrug

AYY

can random class be used to get an random keyboard input like a letter or a number?

i need it in a way that after i can do like Input.GetKeyDown(RandomKey)

its like one of those reaction games u know i assign what hey will that object get and then i will show to the player and he has a couple of sec to press it

im new to game dev

im still trying to see what is better but i will try ur suggestion too so i can see what should i really do

ty for help

this part "Select(s => s[random.Next(s.Length)]).ToArray());" adds something to an array right?

hmm thanks anyway

C HASH

@AndréMarques that looks really screwy to me

C# <3

what?

Arrays can't be resized. If you want a changing-size container, use List<T>

i just wanted a string :s

i have this but not working

?

that is 100% never going to give you a string

dotnetperls.com/random-lowercase-letter

whoo time for the fun stuff now that rendering works

Pip given the trouble he's having, that solution doesn't generalize well to his need for numbers and digits.

eeh, true enough I guess

try using this:

msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/8kyd8789(v=vs.110).aspx

in your RandomKeycode function

thats seems simple if i put like random numbers between my 1 and my string lenght

i can use random range

wait just realized that wont work since i just want like one digit of that string

if you want one random character from your string, Mid is your guy

return Mid(chars, randomNumber, 1);

wait

msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aka44szs(v=vs.110).aspx

Substring

better

return chars.Substring(randomNumber, 1);

my previous example was VB example from MSDN, got confused

oh nice

so i can use random range between 1 and chars lenght to get a random char

thank you !

yup, that's it

@AndréMarques actually, you use a number from 0 to the string's length - 1.

like an array?

starts in 0

string chars = "ABCD";
string var1 = chars.Substring(3, 1);
// var1 now contains "D"

This is cool: github.com/open-source-society/computer-science

Instantiate an gameobject that has tag "Enemy" and i use enemyObject = GameObject.FindGameObjectWithTag ("Enemy");

it should find my intantiated object right?

what if you have a bunch of enemies

i would use and array?

an*

docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/…

FindGameObjectsWithTag returns GameObject[]

but i didnt got to that part something in my code isnt working on this part

is it because im using array

Guys anyone know something about a online game development ? i have a question about winstock , i have heard that use a winstock for server side is a bad idea is it true ? and if so what should i use for server side then ?

@Pip That's right, transparent will still reflect light, like glass. Fade is an overall dimming.

@yahoo5000 Just a quick glance told me the following things: 1.) If I'm correct, then Winsock only works on windows, while I'm 99% sure you want to target other platforms. 2.) Why would you use winsock, if you can just use TCP?

In the last 2 days, I said "I don't know why, but it works" like 6 times. Android is awesome

actually i want only windows :D but i heard that server side its better to have a linux and thats why winstock is bad

and i am not much advanced in all that networking stuff i only know a winstock so far and have doing everything with him , i always looking for the best way

@PearsonArtPhoto thanks

NP

@yahoo5000 It's winsock

yea sorr :D

And because you're doing web development, you should aim for the most amount of OSs

i am not doing web development

do or do not, there is no try.
