That one where clause is quite the doozy.

Some guy on /dpt/ was doing enterprise-quality
use std::ops::{Add, Mul, Div};

fn to_farenheit<T, U>(c: T) -> <<<U as Mul>::Output as Div<U>>::Output as Add<U>>::Output
where T: Into<U>, U: From<i8> + Mul, <U as Mul>::Output: Div<U>, <<U as Mul>::Output as Div<U>>::Output: Add<U> {
c.into() * 9i8.into() / 5i8.into() + 32i8.into()
}

fn main() {
for celsius in 1..11 {
println!("{}C = {}F", celsius, to_farenheit::<_, f64>(celsius));
}
}

i'd post in this thread but i don't have any progress nor fanart to post yet

So what are people's current short term goals?

After work today I'm planning on cleaning up the movement physics in my terrible platformer so I can get on with building some fun levels.

Godot is a pretty good engine

So I took a look at the official Rust language book or whatever, and the first thing they show you after Hello World is a small thingy that takes user input:
io::stdin().read_line(&mut guess)
.expect("Failed to read line");

Even they think it's too long so they put it over 2 lines, I assume that's why people don't like Rust. And of course you had to first declare AND initialize guess with:
let mut guess = String::new();

This is almost Java tier verbose

>>172899410

yeah me too man. a lot of my progress is intillectual and conceptional.

>>172899536
And Rust doesnt do implicit casts, which isnt bad but just inconvenient.

>>172899536
>Even they think it's too long so they put it over 2 lines, I assume that's why people don't like Rust.
The equivalent would take more than 2 lines in a different language. It's common to chain successive methods on the same value on new lines.
>And of course you had to first declare AND initialize guess with: let mut guess = String::new();
How else should it have worked?

>>172899418
Try to figure out how to code in stats and then set up a combat system.
Might be getting slightly ahead of myself. I think I need to fix collision first, but I want to run a mock battle to test out my numbers. On paper it looks good but everything looks good on paper.

The problem with that is that the memory management is limited by the API. The user can't choose how the string is allocated, the library must create a new one. If the API just mutates strings, the user can pass a string with any memory state they want, typically a brand new one, but an existing one might be faster.

>>172901735
The masses are stupid. By not being popular, it doesn't have to change to appeal to the masses. By not being changed, the masses won't be able to use it. Thus the wheat and chaff shall be split.

>>172901735

fuck rust, i say.

>>172901849
Thus it will never be used for any large scale projects.

Aggydaggy, how do you keep passionate about what you want to make? I feel like I lose the desire to actually create what I planned out whenever I actually put in the lines of code. I can't seem to connect what I'm writing with the grand design I have in my head, I spend two hours writing an inventory system UI and it feels like I'm two steps in out of a marathon.

Sometimes it feels like I get manic highs where I can put in 300-500 LoC in an hour or two, or draw up in-depth UML diagrams detailing mechanics all day, and lows where I write fifty LoC, can't begin to think how I want the game to play, and call it a day thirty minutes in.

3D is so hard. This took me like 4 hours

>>172902574

you can find objects by their tag

if this doesn't help ( there are more than one object with the same tag) there are other ways to find the game object you are looking for but that depends on the conditions of the game you are making.

>>172902858

are you a girl or underage ?

>>172903463

lookin' good though

So I'm working on a roguelike right now where the ticks happen before your action for the purpose of more involved, positioning based combat. The general idea is enemies giving some sort of a tell, and then only launching their attack after a certain number of ticks. Bigger bosses of course hitting multiple squares. This gives you time to notice patterns/timings and hopefully sneak in some of your own attacks between the enemy's. You're of course bound to the same rules, though.

My question is how much information I should be displaying to the player. Should I be giving them precise turn/tick numbers for the message log? Show them the tick the monster raises up their hand and also the tick it comes crashing down? Or do you think that would make it too easy and remove all danger?

If the attacks aren't such that they're likely to one hit kill, it seems to me like it would be okay to figure out by practice how many attacks you can sneak in during attacks and still get out. I've been staring at this all so long and am familiar enough with the numbers that I'm not sure if this would be annoying from a player perspective.

>>172903517
Sure. But that's not the point.
It would be better to be able to find an object by their unique instance id.

>>172904220
i think you should let the players figure it out themselves. like you said giving them the ticks will probably be too easy.

i'd just suggest you make a lot of easy early game enemies for the player to get usef to the system before you throw the hard stuff at them.

what language are you using ?

>>172903823
Sounds like a femanon to me.
I've been on teamspeaks/vents a lot and have always been able to tell the difference, even when others couldn't.
Not that it matters anyways.

>>172904420

it's a non issue.

>>172904704
And it's a fucking leaf femanon. Oh boy.

Almost done tweaking my ledge grabbing behavior. Of course I'll eventually need actual models and real shimmy behavior instead of the hack I use to visualize the effect. Last two part I can work on before that are:
- fixing the camera so it isn't allowed to move too much when in ledge grab (so far, no success, but this could be fixed when I implemented proper head rotations, then I just need to prevent camera movements that also move the pawn)
- Lerping the camera (but not the pawn) when entering ledge grab (right now the view just snaps into place).
Not too sure how to handle the latter.

a game whose design imitates an old-ass ASCII graphics game called rogue. basically it's a turn-based dungeon crawler with procedural generation and permadeath with a reputation for being very difficult and unfair (but that's part of the fun)

roguelikes these days tend to deviate from that design a lot though

>>172908152

Also maximize Blender. Also turn off sound notifications for any messaging programs you have open.

IDK at this point. There are 4 weapons so far, and I have a few ideas for others. I want to have a number of powerups. The weapons will kind of count as powerups themselves. But it's basically a case of I need to try things to see what I can make fun. The biggest issue will be designing enemies/threats for the player that are fun and exciting. That's what will make or break this game. What I have so far is rudimentary, but I'm just taking it one step at a time.

Though I imagine youd want to use bright or extremely drab colors to compensate.

The problem with unlit is that it's boring to look at. There simply isn't much information in the screen. Indie games that use this style often use a single hue in a gradient.

A shitton. Artists are overpayed cucks. They receive thousands for smearing shit on a wall.

>>172916675
aren't they the ones cucking you if they are overpaid?

>>172916675
Wouldn't that make the artist the bull in this metaphor, not the cuck?

Is it possible to use unity or some other framework to basically plug my own 3d models and shit into some generic code and hack it together into a semi-playable mess without actually having to learn anything much more than what kind of plug-socket is being used? (fuck weirdo english plugs)

>>172918247
it's just convention. i think it started because the upper left corner of the screen is (0,0), which made more sense for screens rendering text.

>>172918247
It's a trend that started back when games had to explicitly tell the console/computer to draw individual pixels/lines to the screen. It always started at the top left, so coordinates were such that x increases to the right and y increases downwards

ur the inbred

rust just has smart-pointers built in, and makes them the only memory allocation you have

which must mean that it cannot support memory mapped files as that uses virtualalloc under the hood, and if it does then there is a way to leak memory, just forget to close the file

but with rust, the smart pointers are unique (useless, might as well use c99 variable-sized stack buffers) or shared (normal), and if they are shared then rust uses a garbage collector to deal with them

the garbage collector will not erase them if a single shared pointer remains active, which means that if you create and forget about one then you have a memory leak. Same as in any garbage collected language.

You got a bunch of objects that are still taking up memory because there is a non-null reference to them somewhere.

You might not want to brand it as a board game, but as a strategy game. Digital games can do things technically that board games can't, while still following board game design principles.

>>172918717
If that object is in charge of drawing other things and you have those things listed before the lasers they will always draw on top of those things. If that object only draws the lasers then the best I can offer is to reference the player's depth (since it should always exist if the laser does) and subtract 100 from there (depth=player.depth-100) etc. Put it in the objects create event (and for good measure the step event first line) and that should do it.

You still can have motivation to dev regardless.
Just destroy the industry insetad improving it.

I want to put conditionals into the scripting language I've made today, but I can't convert string literals into object references.

(I can't convert the string "bacon" into a reference to the variable bacon and say bacon = 2 from "bacon = 2").

Any ideas? I don't feel like storing every variable in my game in a map, because that's really tough for the exact same reason in reverse, I can't convert the variable bacon into the string "bacon".

>>172919428
>>172918717
Should be depth=player.depth+100 but you get the idea (sorry about that)

>>172919428
>>172920104
>If that object only draws the lasers then the best I can offer is to reference the player's depth (since it should always exist if the laser does) and subtract 100 from there (depth=player.depth-100) etc. Put it in the objects create event (and for good measure the step event first line) and that should do it.

Your suggestions don't really make sense anon (not that this issue does anyways). Nothing is changing the depth variable so setting it over and over won't accomplish anything. I did try it for good measure and nothing changed. Thanks for trying to help though.

>>172920048
I think you're right.
I just need a game idea that significantly minimizes the actual "game" part of making a game
all I want to do is program something and have a product people can use at the end

>>172920273
Do you accidentally have depth set on the objects depth property in it's main window? (or is that where you are normally setting it)

>>172920486
That's where I'm normally setting it. I've confirmed in debug that the depth variable is 100.

Why do board games seem to have more creativity and variety than videogames?

Is because they're the manga version of the game industry?

>>172920641
its because the games with creativity get drowned in a sea of retards recreating their childhood.

>>172920641
Do they? I think most board games are pretty boring, except the big ones like chess of course.

>>172920596
Assuming you aren't using a d3d function to draw the laser for effect (it has it's own way of setting depth) all I can think of is to double down and make it +1000 instead and hope for the best. Sorry, anon.

>>172920641
Because it's easier to make a board game with cool shit than video games :^)

>>172920641
I think because you're forced to think more about the core structure of the game itself and less about other factors like graphics, sound, etc.

You've basically just got the raw tools of a game, the rules and such. Meanwhile with a videogame, you can rip the entire general concept from someone else, all the rules etc, and still make a perfectly "Original" title by slapping your own textures, models, story, audio, etc into it.

NavMesh: Improved pathfinding and AI

In Unity 5.6 we are introducing low level APIs aimed at solving the limitations from previous versions. These changes enable a whole new set of use cases and gameplay options for character and AI navigation. In addition the low level APIs, we are also providing four new easy-to-use components that are open source and available from Github.

The ability to use Unity’s NavMesh tools for procedurally generated or dynamically loaded content has been the most requested feature. With the new features in 5.6, it’s not only possible, but easy and very efficient. Simply load or generate your scene and then tell the NavMesh surface to Bake.

With the new feature set, NavMeshes are now component-based instead of being scene-wide. This new structure allows you to have multiple NavMeshes per scene. Additionally, we can now have different agent types. This allows you to easily adjust radii, heights, and traverse settings for your different characters.

Why does everything have to be sexualized

>>172929053
because furfags are thirsty deviants whose entire lives revolve around fantasizing about fucking animals with human features

there is no vector art used at least yet, it's drawn the ordinary way
the game makes them look much smoother than they actually are through filtering
a lot of drawn frame animation and simple sprite manipulation here and there as well
few entities like the player characters are already made of multiple sprites, but this system isn't very flexible and i need something more adaptable for sake of bosses, set pieces and other things

I hate you guys.

Like it or not this guy is a very competent artist who is more of a yesdev than 90% of the people in this thread.

Starting on the village. This ship will take you to the various islands. Do you guys think it fits? Still unsure how I feel about it. Ignore the background, its placeholder.

How do you all stay on one project?, I have 4 on the go, all shit and all will take a year or so at the rate of my work,
I just chip away at tiny aspects of each instead of large chunks of just one.

what do you want a pat on the back and someone telling you "ganbatte oniichan!"?

because I would throttle you if I could
you are self-admitted idiot and you see nothing wrong with it

>>172926238
The one on the left and the ones in the corner are good. On the middle pose: Ass out and legs that look like they're walking along with some dramatic upper body pose is just a bit stupid, either keep the back straight or keep the legs straight. I don't think anyone would ever push their ass out during whatever situation that pose would fit in. Rightmost pose: Again the ass is pushed out too much. The pose doesn't remotely look balanced. The face is a little unsettling.

>>172931728
what keeps you motivated?

>>172932295
hatred
but seriously, sorry for popping off in your face like that
but if those projects of yours really suck and you dislike working on them, why not dump them and start something new
you must have some experience from those past things you made, so it should be easier and more coherent now, no?

Cleaned up my physics and collision code. Still need to tweak some variables but its smoother and less prone to weird issues. Now I need to add some kind of threat and start building a few levels.

Not the other guy, but poverty.

I have huge debt because of my family and a shit health condition so i can't go and be a labourer. If i don't put my back into programming(or anything else, really, i just chose that), i won't have any means to eat.

Is movement interpolation for sprites worth it?
It smoothes movement so little that it is almost indistinguishable yet trails can be seen on hi speeds. And it STILL got jerks.
