Spawncamping will be harder once teams are added

You'll spawn behind the little walls instead of in the center

REDWOOLFF did you add no validation?

It's supposed to be 0-100

ta Radvylf srik su shilani

Sorry lol

I'll fix

We were doing haxx earlier, I wasn't prepared to do a serious game lol

user

lol

emanresu A

@taRadvylfsriksushilani We both killed each other lol

is that a bug or a feature

ta Radvylf srik su shilani

Not even sure which, actually

You should be able to keep your name semi-permanently

Having to type it in every time is annoying

user

Yeah

Also, being able to keep the other settings semi-permanently would be nice

ta Radvylf srik su shilani

01:33

I'll add an actually settings screen soon

So you can do it all on one page and just hit enter if you don't want to change anything

Gonna work on some team features really quick

lyxal

I use Lyxal speed

As in, I literally enter Lyxal for each field

emanresu A

I'm mean

> Gotta work on some new features. Log back on later!

:(

lyxal

@taRadvylfsriksushilani you need to add world borders

Because otherwise you just drive off screen and get lost

user

@lyxal Does that not just result in NaN lol

ta Radvylf srik su shilani

@lyxal Just don't do that, lol :p

lyxal

01:38

@user idk but you go fast

emanresu A

Or better yet, add an infinite world and let people scroll

user

Entering "user" for every field gives me WS Disconn: 1006 (and negative numbers give 1005)

ta Radvylf srik su shilani

it's because the server's down right now

I'm adding some features

user

Oh lol

ta Radvylf srik su shilani

@emanresuA That could actually be kinda cool...like procedurally generated walls?

emanresu A

01:40

Yeah :P

lyxal

@user it was I

emanresu A

Idea: use the ulam spiral or similar to generate wall locations

lyxal

I was Joe

No you weren't, you were Lyxal :P

emanresu A

No you weren't, you were

These are my proposed color palettes for the teams. Top two are normal, bottom two are colorblind:

emanresu A

How are you going to handle stats UI-wise

ta Radvylf srik su shilani

I'm thinking text boxes, with warnings if the stats don't add up

I was going to go with range sliders, but turns out those basically don't solve any issues but add a ton of complexity

emanresu A

@taRadvylfsriksushilani Not really - they force numbers within a certain range, and the actual value reporting isn't too complex

DLosc

01:51

@taRadvylfsriksushilani A <span> showing how many points you have left would be good too

ta Radvylf srik su shilani

Oh, good idea

@emanresuA But it's just as easy to tell them to just tell them to make it be between those values and enforce it with code

And allows choosing precise values faster

emanresu A

True...

ta Radvylf srik su shilani

But I gtg for now for dinner o/

CMP: Do you think a medium-sized project in Java 11 should be ported to Kotlin or Java 17? Porting to Kotlin would make it way nicer but would take time, while porting to Java 17 would take no efforts at first because it's the same language and can be done gradually, but there's much fewer benefits

This is a project that doesn't care too much about performance, just simplicity and readability (and it also must never crash, which is why Kotlin's null stuff would be nice)

Alright teams are working now

emanresu A

Uh, no they aren't

Now they are nvm

ta Radvylf srik su shilani

Hard reload

emanresu A

Now I can't start or enter my name and there are two start buttons

ta Radvylf srik su shilani

One should be green and one should be brown

If they're grayed out, something's invalid

Is it working?

emanresu A

Looks like it is now

Before I was just getting the raw HTML

(As in no styling)

ta Radvylf srik su shilani

04:18

Oh, the CSS must've cached for longer than it should have

emanresu A

Although the buttons aren't coloured (probably caching)

ta Radvylf srik su shilani

if they aren't, that should indicate something's invalid, or possibly that the JS didn't load right

emanresu A

Working now

PyGamer0

@DLosc what does pip use?, flax currently has H for head, T for tail (everything except tail), Ḣ for the last element, Ṫ for everything but last.

Aaroneous Miller

@taRadvylfsriksushilani There're two "Start!" buttons and neither of them work

ta Radvylf srik su shilani

04:23

Then something about your name or stats is invalid

They'll turn green and brown once you have a valid input

emanresu A

Sorry, gtg

ta Radvylf srik su shilani

o/

I kept everything 0 and added a name but they’re still grey

emanresu A

You won't get a chance to find the perfect build to defeat me

ta Radvylf srik su shilani

@user Because they need to sum to 200

Aaroneous Miller

04:24

oh, does it no longer autoscale?

user

Oh

ta Radvylf srik su shilani

@AaroneousMiller Nope, not anymore

I'm on team brown

Aaroneous Miller

It doesn't like it when any of the stats are over 100 either

ta Radvylf srik su shilani

Yeah, 100's the max

user

I’m on mobile, wish i could play:(

Is there a repo somewhere? I know this isn’t serious but id like to pr some stuff

ta Radvylf srik su shilani

04:28

Not for a while. But I'll gladly accept feature requests

DialFrost

does anyone think this is good? codegolf.meta.stackexchange.com/questions/2140/…

user

@taRadvylfsriksushilani oh ok

A warning about the number not being right next to the stat would be nice

@DialFrost looks good but there’s a few mountain challenges that may be dipes?

ta Radvylf srik su shilani

I gtg now, but this game looks like it'll be fun with multiple people

And once I add the ability to upgrade some of your stats mid-game

I'm planning on adding a +10 boost to any stat of your choice, including a fifth regen one that's always +0 at the start, any time you get a kill

or maybe it'd boost the rest of your team so you can't kill farm and become mega OP

Aaroneous Miller

Can somebody connect as green team and kill Me real quick?

nobody wants to help Me?

If you connect twice and kill yourself, then about 7/10 times it disconnects you

also flax has gotten an A+ in code quality

@lyxal I suppose that will have to be acceptable

@taRadvylfsriksushilani would you mind making the walls about twice as thick in tanks?

you don't say

ta Radvylf srik su shilani

Grrr

Oh right, teams

I forgot, thought it was free for all

ta Radvylf srik su shilani

Wait how can you shoot through walls, emanresu?

I can't get it to work

emanresu A

gtg :(

@taRadvylfsriksushilani Not me

But other people have

ta Radvylf srik su shilani

If someone was on an old copy, they'd still be able to

It's handled front-end

Aaroneous Miller

05:24

oh lol im still using an old version whoops

lemme update real quick

DLosc

I guess I'm color-blind. Can't tell the difference between green and brown.

ta Radvylf srik su shilani

Well, I'm going to be adding a color-blind palette soon :p

DLosc

I think it would be helpful if it were a lighter green, and if there were some fill color rather than just the outlines.

lyxal

Whew I'm back from the big mountain walk

DLosc

Dang turret angle limitations :P

Aaroneous Miller

05:38

I'm not sure of the exact circumstances, but sometimes killing somebody kicks you

ta Radvylf srik su shilani

yeah, rare bug

Aaroneous Miller

There's also this weird bug where if you modify the main.js file, it starts doing strange stuff

emanresu A

Kudos to dlosc and radvylf for finding me lol

ta Radvylf srik su shilani

@AaroneousMiller Such as?

Aaroneous Miller

like damaging opponents from anywhere on the map :p

DLosc

05:42

So if you have 0 in a stat, you don't actually have zero armor/speed/etc?

ta Radvylf srik su shilani

You have 0 armor, but for speed, damage, and reload, it's not 0

DLosc

How does armor work? Just opp. damage minus your armor is the amount of damage you take per shot?

ta Radvylf srik su shilani

It blocks a percentage. 0 armor blocks 0% of damage, 100 armor blocks 80%

emanresu A

I figured out how to make an autocannon and y'all killed it :(

ta Radvylf srik su shilani

I think damage is a little underpowered right now

DLosc

05:49

Really? I'd prefer my tank to be a little... tankier.

ta Radvylf srik su shilani

Well, compared to reload I mean

DLosc

(I'd also really like it if the damage bar appeared on your own tank the way it does on others'. It's really hard to keep glancing at the corner of the screen.)

ta Radvylf srik su shilani

I can add that, good idea

emanresu A

^^

Stop killing my autocannons :(

DLosc

Who, me? ^_^

ta Radvylf srik su shilani

05:53

Hard reload for the self-hp-bars

Wait no that broke reloading

Reload for fix

Aaroneous Miller

i did a thing

i hope it works

yep, it works

emanresu A

That's so OP

Aaroneous Miller

dw, i wont use it

i just like seeing what's possible

@emanresuA besides I feel like I'm a bit late to the lore party and that I've missed all the good stuff of breaking everything

ta Radvylf srik su shilani

No, there's plenty more left to break :p

i can attest to that

@lyxal no, u just download the js and do stuff until u like the result

@AaroneousMiller and you just run that JS as your own client?

Aaroneous Miller

yep, I downloaded the html, css, and js files, and then just modified the js and ran the html

lyxal

06:34

You don't need to open it as a node server?

@AaroneousMiller Hm, okay

Aaroneous Miller

@lyxal nope, the html calls the js file and the connection is made through there

@PyGamer0 sry I didn't see your chat in game, I can show you the hack now

@emanresuA i noticed cause it didn't die

emanresu A

You killed everything?

Aaroneous Miller

no, just my enemies

essentially, I did foreach opponent in enemy_team: tell the server I hit opponent

Aaroneous Miller

06:54

well, I figured out how to make myself invisible :p

so far, I've made starburst.js, snipe.js, invisible.js, and donuts.js

donuts.js isn't actually something super OP, it just allows you to move while turning, which feels really nice to control

Unrelated String

3.141509434

emanresu A

I set it up so packets from the server set my health to 1

But that didn't work

PyGamer0

@PyGamer0 nice approximation of π i guess

Aaroneous Miller

08:00

@emanresuA It looks like health is kept track of server side, and the hp variable is only used for your own health bar. So when you get hurt, the server doesn't care what you think your health is, and when it sees it hit zero, you get disconnected from the game

imma go sleep now
