odd

how old is it?

um toshiba has been doing well for me

tried but no unity from office and not allowed to install it

hey

ciao

time to get out of work

@TrevorPowell whats wrong with integrations?

today was the first time I remember seeing it

@TreDubZedd Thanks, good to have validation that I'm headed in the right basic direction.

I guess I'm a bit afraid there is some method or algorithm I'm forgetting about that would greatly simplify things. But most things I can recall would be overkill for this at this stage.

which should do things like play a 5 instead of an ace if you are the last player and a 7 is all you need to beat.

the vague idea I have right now is having a function to evaluate the value of a given hand based on what you know about whats already been played and then trying to pick a play with the best result for the trick with maximizing the value of the hand you're left with as a consideration.

I'm not too worried about the nuances of the unique rules so much as wondering about the basic structure of tackling the AI

yeah it would get switched and then switched back

similar structure to bridge or spades except it alternates between high and low rounds and there is a 5th suit which changes the particular trick from high to low when played if it wasn't what was led.

For this game: clichegames.com/files/2011/12/fortunes.pdf

Its a partner trick taking game with alternating high takes trick and low takes trick rounds.

just musing about how to approach the AI for my current project.

particularly trick taking partner games

Have any of you ever done Card game AI?

what do they need to wake up from?

that's unfortunate for them

@JoshPetrie lately, working on digitizing a card Game

@thedaian I think that would be a valuable undead skill

at least I think I do

@JoshPetrie yep

@thedaian Never saw a save dialog it just started replaying when i stopped recording.

@Noctrine Also got to be a speaker at a small gaming convention last year, which was pretty cool. How's gamedev going for you?

I'll give it another shot though

@thedaian I think I tried that one and had some kind of issue of it not saving or not knowing where the files were or some such.

yeah. for the app you'd have a little map and hit a button(or eventually planned to talk into the phone) and the other people playing would show up on the map for a few seconds.

The idea was something similar but on a phone using GPS and whatnot

have you ever heard of the game Marco Polo?

networking issues grew to be a bit of a nightmare. Eventually going to clean up the code for what I got done and will probably put it up on google code to see if anyone can do anything useful with what we had made so far on that front.

The Marco Polo app wasn't as simple as originally expected

Making good progress on the current project but the last one had to get abandoned-ish

allright-ish

I think that as long as the comment explains why it was closed and the fact that it will be re-opened once edited woud mitigate the newbie flight.

sounds reasonable

Morning

works over. time for home and game dev, have ag ood night all

ah

does something bad happen if you cross the beams?

the game., "The new super mario brothers" for the wii seems designed to maximize this destructive interference

you get in the way of each other, or disrupt each others timing

sometimes adding people makes a game harder, not easier

like the new super mario bros

but what if you and the other players have desctructive interference

my co-workers want to know
