@StephaneHockenhull in fact, I've read they're not sure what to do with the show now that it's popular... the premise is so simple.

LOL yeah, they should just stop the show with whatever "dignity" it has :D

It's a novelty show. It can't continue without losing all interest/value.

I think the proper marketing strategy would be to make a completely different goofy show "from the same author" instead. that way they don't ruin the original. They can still ride on the popularity.

:D

Like, there's this "The devil is a part-timer" cartoon where Satan works at a McDonald-look-alike burger store.

hahaha

It's on Netflix, pretty good show :)

might not be in canada :( unless it's an NFLX original

it is. I'm in Canada.

found it

:)

He's the evil lord of a parallel fantasy world that gets his ass kicked, big 'splosion, and sucked into our world. So he has to make ends meet until he gets his power back...

hilarity ensues

@JoshPetrie Are 3 upvotes on a meta post to remove a tag enough to blacklist it? From my experience, it is not...

@Almo just a heads up: there's only 1 season :(

ahhah

that's ok :)

I'm a sucker for goofy slice-of-life + superpowers shows where the emphasis is on the daily life part.

Not many games like that. Octodad is one that comes to mind.

not so much superpowers as "unusual character".

but close enough

@Almo According to my estimations, you need about 2.25 Alpha clones to support an Omega clone. The cost of entry is high because you need 5.5 million SP to use a skill extractor, which is about 234 days of skill training without implants (and being there when the skill training completes).

@AlexandreVaillancourt completions aren't that big a deal anymore with the new skill queueu

oh wait

alphas don't get it duh

Hello all

Hi

I'm new at game Dev, can any of you help me with something?

Depends on what you need help with =p

I'm searching for some documentation on SDL2 but in objective c

everything I find is in C++, and my main language is objC

either some documentation or a sample code, as I can't find either for the love of god

Near as I can tell there's no objective c bindings for SDL

So just look at the standard C api

so I show code in plain C++ for it then?

ok, thx, I will do it that way

Where are you getting your documentation from?

they're website plus lazyfoo.net for most of the tuts that I've used

Oh tutorials

If you want documentation go to the official SDL site, it has the API listing

yes, I've also passed my eyes on that

but will focus more on the documentation now, the tuts were mainly for me to pick up the sdk

ok, thanks mate

goddamn my friggen jaw

i noticed holes in my left lower jaw and turns out the surgeon had to drill 2 extra holes to pull one of these fuckers out

my gf never told me

youch

yeah i wondered why that side was so jacked

"Would you mind doing something about the ridiculous achievements (thousands levels completed) ?"

what do you think about that Chris?

about 3-4 people complained about achievements that were too hard to complete.

2000 puzzles required to be completed.

thing is ... i really don't think it is hard to complete -- I think there is eomthing else here I dont know

Do you gain steam levels for completing every achievement in a game?

support.steampowered.com/kb_article.php?ref=4395-TUZC-9912

It's an achievement that is actually an achievement, quit complaining =p

2,000 puzzles - I dunno, what's the rough amount of playtime a user would have to play to achieve that?

not really

you can easily do 1000 5x5 in a few hours

Nothing wrong with achievements that require a lot of time, gives people something to strive for

Yeah the people asking for me to lower it have very low play time

this latest person doesn't even seem to have any playtime at all

why the hell are you bitching about this?

lol

People getting too used to "Clicked a button You started the game!" achievements

man feck that

steamcommunity.com/app/221910/discussions/0/485623406942970294

as far as you know they didn't :P

hehe nice

Did you see that piece of shit that created an account on reddit and said he never received a giveaway this youtuber made on an overwatch channel?

thousands of people started tweeting/emailing this guy telling him to go kill himself

(the guy that had the giveaway)

Turns out he did have a giveaway, and did give away 100$, and the guy that created the account made everything up pretending to be that guy

like, what the fuck.

The internet mob mentality is pretty fucked up man.

when you've got nothing better to do with your life

and you just wanna troll

Like, I get it ... i did shit like that as a kid too

But this is like, top level shit

he found someone that won a giveaway that didn't have a reddit account

Just to shit on some random person for no reason.

Welcome to the world of tomorrow!!!

People are fantastic 👌

When setting joints parameters in bullet physics, must it be done in local object space, or in world space?

typically local.

in most cases joints function in respect to their parent bodies.

Yeah, it seems like it, and according to the name of the parameters too. I think I've messed up the value of a parameter. Seems to be 'correct' now, even though it's still awkward...

Man, my kid was such a piece of crap this morning.

He didn't want to go to school

Then he took off saying he was gonna walk to school

Had to pick him up on the side of the road, lol

Weee!

goddamn ordeal.

At least he does not wake you up a couple of times a night because he wants a boob in his mouth :P

Yeah, ok, seems that I had put the wrong values for the parameters...

lmao

why even offer a goddamn salad?

ahhh, so if you didn't take the crispy chicken and dressing

well shit people, duh

perception is everything

burgers, if you don't eat the bun it's not too many calories usually

@ChrisMcFarland don't put bacon in it, though. And use cheese and not processed cheese :P

I've had success with losing weight by monitoring calorie intake, and also doing the keto thing where you eat < 20g carbs per day, both work

yeah

or what was that teacher that ate nothing but twinkies for months

so there is this app called dailyburn

you can input what you eat and it shows you how many calories approximately that you are taking in

Until you do this for a week, you seriously have no idea what you are doing

:)

MyFitnessPal is a good app too

calories can come from varoius sources

Yup. Some people say: no calories should be taken in beverages.

Yup :)

yeah water is good, sugar-free is good too

beer is my downfall

i only drink water and beer

haha, hops everywhere

strong beer :P

Carbs :)

none of that american shit

:P

vodka for me atm

I don't like strong beer because they're generally too sweet for me.

its a good starter beer

I'm ok with IPAs :)

there is this place here in town that makes 2 kinds

one is called 4 alarm IPA

damn good

They're generally not above 6, 6.5% though

its like 8% i think

oh they can go up to 9 i think

Oh, ok, these would probably taste too sweet for me :P

this one is super bitter

that is why I like it

Ah, I'll try and see if they sell it around here then

naw there is no way

its a local beer

you can only get it at this bar

they don't even sell it outside the bar

I think it needs to be drank pretty fresh to be honest.

Oh well :P

hi everyone.

anyone experienced with bulletphysics?

@ManmohanBishnoi I'm trying it at the moment, not far along though...

not bulletphysics, but physics yea

but i mean if you are going to be picky with your help, nevermind :P

cool

I have worked with bulletphysics before. but never came across this issue

that is

when i debug draw my physics world

the rigid body's collision shape keeps on offsetting in the direction of motion

think of a simple raycast car moving in a straight line

when car starts the graphical mesh and rigid body's collision shape (drawn in debugdraw call) are perfectly aligned

as the car speed increases

the rigid body's collision shape start offsetting gradually in direction of motion

and when the car stops, the rigid body shape aligns again with graphical mesh

I haven't used the debug draw features of bt though.

Seems like the graphics rendering is one frame behind the physics..

Yeah, that just sounds like an artifact of rendering and to be expected

i also suspect something related to graphics drawing call not in sync with physics debug draw call.

here's how i draw my world

Is there any multi-threading in that?

nope

ah.

put dynamicsWorld->stepSimulation() before the rest

it is normal

the debug draw is always behind the update loop

keep in mind your physics are running at a set timestep while your gameloop continues to update

@jg

@jgallant should i use bulletphysics.org/mediawiki-1.5.8/index.php/Stepping_the_World

what is your problem?

@jgallant in this case, he's updating the graphics matrices before he updates the physics simulation.

When I activate box2d debug draw calls, it is the exact same thing

The debug draw lags behind

It isn't a problem with the physics engine, it is how the debug draw renders

@ManmohanBishnoi what if you step your simulation before applying the mosionstate to the opengl graphical objects?

@jgallant so you mean to say that any moving rigid bodies will have their collision shape lagging behind their graphical shape?

that is what I figured -- I thought it was a CCD thing

it will only lag at high velocities right?

yes

Yeah, that is normal and I wish I could explain it better but I never really thought about it that hard

for simple things like a box falling from a height of 10m, things look just fine

@AlexandreVaillancourt same behavior even when stepSimulation is before applying motionstates

Oh well!

maybe i'm wrong.

bulletPhysics demos don't have such rendering artifacts

how are you calling your debugdraw?

Do they have bodies that go at high velocities?

as the box starts gaining velocity, the gaphical mesh lags behind collison shape shape

as soon as the box hits ground

both the graphical and collision shape align perfectly

@Tyyppi_77 was it mick?

I don't see why it would be.

one instance seems smart to me.

what if you call multiple RNG quickly

does it use systime or what?

yeah man

@ManmohanBishnoi so you have your own graphics and bullet's debug graphics? And if you use bullet's debug graphics, maybe bullet uses multithread and that's why their graphics is one frame behind?

m_DynamicsWorld->debugDrawWorld();

calls your custom class to do actual rendering

Ok, I guess it should produce the same transform matrix..

What is your problem though?

collision response still works

everything looks fine

collision works fine

it's just the lag between collision shape and graphical mesh for fast moving objects

i'm investigating my code and searching old forum posts , see if i can find something useful

Dev Blog- Colonial Sea Trader- Improved buttons, planning the cityscape! kd7uiy.com/2017/05/dev-blog-colonial-sea-trader-reworking.html

looks good man

that entire "Leave City" button could be reduced to save size if you ever needed

I'm actually not very happy with that.

I will probably use the same style for some of the dialogs, but...

I'll have more of a prototype of it done maybe by Wednesday? Not sure yet...

In my stepPhysics() changing this line

this->m_RigidBodies.at("CubeMesh")->m_MotionState->getWorldTransform(trans);

with

trans = this->m_RigidBodies.at("CubeMesh")->m_Body->getWorldTransform();

solved the lag issue

attaboy

cool!

.

You can see where the spambots really found my forum, and where I put in the registration question.

BTW Vanilla Forums are really easy to maintain

I recommend, if the simplicity of the forum itself is good enough for your purposes.

when i submitted my liquid physics article

i jumped from ~100 pageviews to 3000 in a day

imagine writing something that normal people can understand instead

that sounds awesome

:D

That's starting to be a link only answer..

A few weeks ago, I watched a friend streaming Dragon Quest Builders: it features Minecraft-style town building, and everything it does that Minecraft did it does so much better that it makes Minecraft's implementations look plainly awful. I got to thinking, wow, we could bring stuff like this to a multiplayer Minecraft game and do so much better.

Then last night, a friend decided they wanted a more explore-ey, adventure-ey, loot-ey world in their Minecraft server, and were talking about what they wanted it to be like, and I pointed out "that sounds more like you want a {different game completely} server than a Minecraft server" and they agreed, and off they went digging for Minecraft mods.

I am somewhat tempted to build a multiplayer game that actually provides those features while having actually good PvE and PvP gameplay and without making all the mistakes Minecraft did in its building.

(but I don't know if the market isn't already just saturated by minecraft-likes, and if it is then making such a game might not be worthwhile)

shitload of flooding in quebec eh

No idea why their aerial shots are all so damn low res crap

that's like the best shot I could find lol

lol

The ladder jump hate is real.

@jgallant cbc.ca/player/play/937968195678

what people are asking for it?

wow crazy

That's the first time I hear that somewhere on the island of Montreal is flooded. I've been living in Montreal or around it for 35 years.

is it so bad out there?

in Portugal they said it would run this weekend, not even a drop...

last year we had one of the driest years ever

@RicardoAlves It's worse than it usually is.

That's the intersection in streetview:

google.ca/maps/place/Super+Gaz+Station/…

Nice!

dude you are killing it

you seriously need to release a workshop update

people will create these ridiculous levels and it will bring the community into it

This friggen guy this morning tried to get me to delete achievements before even launching my game

Maybe you should try it before you start providing feedback????

lol... anyways

but (levelValue == 1) evaluates to a bool

so it's fine

not a problem! Glad I could help.

oh man you can use custom faces in this game

i don't remember

Still need to figure out what to do with a really wide building, but I might not mess with that actually... Haven't decided yet.

With just a bit more work I can customize the houses however I want them to, without too much work.

I think I won't bother. I'm not planning on making it work, so...

I can always fix it later if I want to.
