As of now,

```
Windows Subsystem for Linux has no installed distributions.
Distributions can be installed by visiting the Microsoft Store:
https://aka.ms/wslstore
```

...because I uninstalled WSL and Ubuntu. I tried re-installing Ubuntu, but that just returns the usual error before it has a chance to succeed.

@NotTheDr01ds Nope, no luck.
JesseTG
Apr 29, 2022 14:23
@NotTheDr01ds I only toggled WSL itself. I'll try the other thing today, thanks for the suggestion.

@Ramhound Way ahead of you. Thanks anyway.
JesseTG
Apr 29, 2022 14:23
@Ramhound Nope. Still didn't work. Back to square one.
JesseTG
Apr 29, 2022 14:23
@Ramhound Okay, sure. But I need Docker. How do I know that this won't happen again?
JesseTG
Apr 29, 2022 14:23
@SeñorCMasMas I did that already.
JesseTG

@Ramhound Same output: The specified module could not be found. That occurs when I try to run Ubuntu from the command-line as well as from the Start menu.
JesseTG
Apr 29, 2022 14:23
@Ramhound As for SFC/DISM? I ran them the other day, but for something unrelated.
JesseTG
Apr 29, 2022 14:23
@Ramhound Running the three commands in this conveniently relevant answer all return success. Specifically, The operation completed successfully. and Windows Resource Protection did not find any integrity violations.
JesseTG
Apr 29, 2022 14:23
@Ramhound Reinstall? No. I only tried disabling (then reenabling) it in the "Windows Features" menu. How can I do that?
JesseTG

@DanielB Same thing. The specified module could not be found.

@nwp Ok. I'm currently looking into other game modes. I'm thinking about a 2 or 5-minute caravan mode akin to Star Soldier; you'd get 2 (or 5) minutes, one life, and tougher enemies, and have to get the highest you can

@nwp Are you suggesting that I should lean more closely towards shooter or puzzler, rather than sitting in between?
JesseTG
Apr 23, 2019 15:59
@nwp Can you elaborate?
JesseTG
Apr 23, 2019 15:52
@nwp Ok, I've definitely got to pick a better key. Thank you. What did you think of the game otherwise?

There is no c_str() method, is there? I think you might be implicitly converting the returned const sf::String& to a std::string, then throwing out the c_str you get from that
JesseTG
Apr 21, 2019 02:30
Hm, then I'm wrong. Wait.
JesseTG
Apr 21, 2019 02:28
@bruglesco Haven't use SFML in years, but I think you're returning a temporary object, getting its backing c_str, then throwing out the temporary object.
JesseTG

Thank you very much, responding now
JesseTG
Apr 20, 2019 22:30
Thank you very much!

I'm seeking feedback and critique on an 80s-arcade-styled game I'm developing. I'd love to hear about how I can improve it, or on what you think I'm doing well. You can play it on Windows, macOS, Linux, or web browsers. Any thoughts? jessetg.itch.io/chromavaders

In that case...
JesseTG
Apr 20, 2019 22:26
Sorry, I should've clarified. I meant the chat. I understand that that's not what the main site is for (been using it for years)
JesseTG
Apr 20, 2019 21:53
Is it on-topic to solicit feedback for a game I'm developing?
JesseTG
Jul 8, 2016 01:22
Real-talk: regarding the other day, when I was looking for C++ game framework/engine resources? I'm looking to develop a programming game, but I'm still deciding what technologies I should use. I'm not making decisions yet, just doing research.
JesseTG
Jul 8, 2016 01:20
I wish for more wishes
JesseTG

@AlexandreVaillancourt You here?
JesseTG
Jul 2, 2016 00:08
@ChrisMcFarland Will look, thanks!
JesseTG
Jul 2, 2016 00:08
@AlexandreVaillancourt Requirements for my project? Run-time scripting, animations, level loading, AI, procedural level generation, a good GUI, and cross-platformness.
JesseTG
Jul 2, 2016 00:05
@AlexandreVaillancourt Either.

Thank you. :)
JesseTG
Apr 21, 2019 02:42
@Pikalek Yes, from various IRC channels. Your feedback has been the most detailed today.
JesseTG
Apr 21, 2019 02:27
@Pikalek Good idea. But what makes this tricky is that it's not just a puzzle game that runs in regular "ticks"; it's a shooter as well, with no shortage of real-time elements
JesseTG
Apr 21, 2019 02:15
@Pikalek I think I have some ideas for that.
JesseTG
Apr 21, 2019 02:11
Hence my unwillingness to promise any specific action, but thank you for the tip.
JesseTG
Apr 21, 2019 02:08
@Pikalek I'll keep a closer eye on it.
JesseTG
Apr 21, 2019 01:06
@Pikalek Thank you, that means a lot to me.
JesseTG
Apr 21, 2019 01:06
@Pikalek Set up combos to send more blocks to the other player. But I'm open to more ideas.
JesseTG
Apr 21, 2019 01:06
@Pikalek What if the block appeared in whatever column you fired the shot from? Of course, then you wouldn't be able to fire while moving (but you move quickly anyway). What do you think?
JesseTG
Apr 21, 2019 01:05
@Pikalek Hitboxes surround all game objects completely (except for slight gaps to simplify collision-handling logic)
JesseTG
Apr 21, 2019 01:04
@Pikalek Holy crap, that's a brilliant idea.
JesseTG
Apr 21, 2019 01:03
@Pikalek Same here, can you be more specific about this as well?
JesseTG
Apr 21, 2019 01:02
@Pikalek Can you be more specific?
JesseTG
Apr 21, 2019 01:02
@Pikalek This is planned but I need to develop an AI first. Can you suggest any algorithms or techniques?
JesseTG
Apr 21, 2019 01:01
@Pikalek Okay, it sounds like I need to start showing controls on-screen during gameplay
JesseTG
Apr 21, 2019 01:00
> Thanks for including shapes in addition to colors to tell the blocks/enemies apart. I could tell the red blue green them apart despite being color blind, but the shape is a nice differentiation to include.


Awesome, glad that worked out. Do the colors yellow, orange, and purple give you problems?

Has anyone here worked with .tg domains before? I bought one and I want to set it up with my website (and eventually, for e-mail), but I can't seem to find any useful information from netmaster.tg (the very obscure Togolese site I bought the domain from)
