Ah noice

My spaghetti code is coming back to haunt me with a vengeance. Technical debt is real :(.

Stephane Hockenhull

That's why you should go for ravioli code, it's all contained.

But don't go for lasagna code, it's layers after layers...

There's always cannelloni code but that involves so many pipes.

Avoid macaroni code, it never goes where you want it...

Then you have ruote code but that's reinventing the wheel

A popular choice is fusilli code but there's always a twist

... I'm hungry now.

DH.

Did you came up with all those pasta jokes out of nowhere?

Sie

I know. It seems impastable to me.

DH.

Now that's a terrible joke

The other ones were at least acceptable

Sie

Don't lie you're pastativily jealous.

Stephane Hockenhull

@DH. I google-image searched for pasta types, that helped :P

when I ran out of ideas after cannelloni

Today at work we talked about how HDD sizes haven't increased much in the last few years

You could say HDD technology has hit a platter.

Free Internet Points

Q: In iOS, where/how to do a back button?

I have a block puzzle game, square grid, and some levels fill up the whole screen with them. In Android this is no problem because there's a hardware back button. iOS devices, however, have no such thing. I need some kind of back button to get to the menu, where you can restart, undo, select oth...

DH.

01:21

Yeah, the same thing we can say about batteries

The solution to have a better battery is to increase it's size :P

Research has gone flat?

@StephaneHockenhull huh weird

I guess that's the private URL or something?

user92578

seems legit gamedev.stackexchange.com/questions/140332/…

Kevin van der Velden

They also asked at arqade and were promptly shot down

With a different account because unregistered but still

John Hamilton

@Tyyppi_77 flagged it as blatantly off topic for closure

@StephaneHockenhull more like "Every time we try to put more power into the same size it turns into fire"

Don't whizz on the electric fence

This drunk guy hit an electric pole with his car and the live lines fell on top of his car. Then the car caught fire.

Chris McFarland

jgallant

Firemen couldn't put it out because water + electricity is > water + fire

Drunk guy was like ah shit door isn't opening.

Burned to death while the fireman watched

Naw just kidding power company came before he burned

Kevin van der Velden

Wouldn't fireman also have a nice big insulated steelcutter they could've used? =p

Chris McFarland

> A search on Google would not get me anything for Unity 5 so it must be fairly easy to do.

HAHAHAHA no

Chris McFarland

wat

Kevin van der Velden

Oh an old question that got bumped, it was about glass shaders in unity

Actual glass is really fricking hard

This could work for my game. Hmmm...

I would have to play with it to work well with a sprite sheet, but...

That's a bit closer. Hmmm.

jgallant

I could draw that stuff

I'll do it for a 10 percent royalty deal

PearsonArtPhoto

You'd have to do quite a bit of artwork for me to consider that...

jgallant

Give me a list of goods

I'll make one.

I'll pivot to art

PearsonArtPhoto

Wool Cloak, Rice, Sugar Beets

jgallant

12:29

You are just making stuff up

Rice? What the heck is that pirate ice?

PearsonArtPhoto

LOL

I have a lot of goods...

I can buy the above images, depending on the sizes, for essentially $6/ sheet.

Getting some of the more obscure ones will be a bit tricky...

Even more, I actually have credit, so it won't actually cost me anything.

DH.

13:37

By obscure ones you mean like the drugs that were traded back in the day?

PearsonArtPhoto

I need to write a tool to make it easier to figure out what I'm missing...

This is a list of some of the goods that I have included.

dcfyj

I would help, but drawing is the last thing you'd want me to do lol

PearsonArtPhoto

13:52

I'll get there.

Wow. Youtuber about to break a BOTW Speedrun record, his family kills the internet access.

Almo

inconsiderate :(

PearsonArtPhoto

You can hear them trying to break in to his room first. It's kind of funny...

jgallant

15:14

Staged

PearsonArtPhoto

15:29

Possibly...

DH.

I don't think he would like to lose the record because of a lost connection

Here's what I have made for Ludum Dare 38 (had a sleepless night):

You are staying on an Island - your small world which is the only thing you care about. You want to live there peacefully but you have made enemies (too many). So, they are going to attack your Island. How long can you protect it?

Controls:

Left Click: Shoot
Right Click: Move player

Try it and enjoy! Let's how good a Island Guard you are.
