I am currently developing a game i am going to try and kick start, it is a turn based, fps, rouge like. I have every aspect of the game implemented but am still working on fine tuning and re-building the level generator. I am using cellular automata to generate my caves and i am curious do to the lack of information i have found on the inrterwebs. Is Conway's game of life supposed to work cell by cell so that each sell is affected by the change of the cell before it, or am i supposed to work on an unchanging static buffer that i used to create the next iteration of the game in a new empty buffer?
>turn based
>fos
What convinced you this was a good idea?
>>55942354
>turn based, fps
Doomed to fail.
>>55942354
1) Is the level supposed to be static or changing?
2) Have you checked other cellular automatons that may output more interesting results, game level wise?

Hi /g/, I've recently been looking into learning assembly, but all the tutorials I've see so far are cancer and start doing stuff without explaining anything, i have a good idea of how registers and RAM work, but I cant find a tutorial that just does it for me.
>inb4 stop shitposting
i'm actually curious about assembly due to that its the root of all programming. plz share links.
IT ebooks.
It's where I grabbed my copy of learning to program in X86. Get that book, you won't regret it.
Also pick up Intel's X86 CPU manual.

Thanks senpai ill look into it.
In college. Finished an into into it and decided it wasn't my cup of tea, but the teacher was one of the best I've ever had.
Super interested in what he does, really skilled, built prototype shit for the Mars rover, knew his shit. Being in a real setting helped a lot conceptually, might be worth looking into if you don't find any options.
What advantages do Mac's have over PC? I understand the advantages of PC over Mac: affordability, better gaming, more customability and less restrictive software. But what do Macs do that PC's cant other than being able to use them to pick up chicks? Everyone always explains how PC is better than Mac please explain to me what Mac has over PC?
Is it 2006?
Macs are personal computers.
OS X is a good operating system if you work in development.

Do you want to game? Get a windows PC.
Don't care about games, have a job, enjoy products with undeniably superior build quality, or want to delve into a very well integrated software ecosystem? Consider buying Apple products.

Unless you are /v/, give me 3 reasons to have laptops with more than 128GiB of storage?
Common bullcrap that won't get (you)s:
>Muh porns
>Muh music
>Muh photos
>Muh torrents
That's what (home) servers are for
>Muh VM
>VM in a laptop
>What is VM server
>Muh Network lag
>Streaming 4k Video in a 15'' laptop
All the stuff you imply should be on a server available with no network connection.
Well that was easy.
The fastest drive on the market happens to have a capacity of over 128 GiB

I want to learn how to code, but I don't have access to a PC. Is there any way I can learn to code using my phone? If so which language(s) should I learn first?
Scheme is a great language for mobile because its function calls are largely alpha-numeric and whitespace is irrelevant.
It's impossible, you've already failed the first test which is being self-sufficient
I'd recommend not doing so. If you every get your hands on a computer of any kind, I'd start with Python (3.5) or C++. Those are the ones i learned and they are simple enough. If you want to mess around while you learn, try out Game Maker Studio (you can get it on steam) and it has a really easy and simple engine and programming language that can help you get the ropes and make a fun little game while youre at it.
A 2016 desktop. Are a browser & pdf reader basically still the powerhouse of any desktop? Plus a office suite for normies, and a shell for /g/
>>55941778
It should be the base vanilla install of the OS in its default configuration.
>>55941778
For most people you really only need a browser and editor (which is not quite there yet in the browser)
People doing specialized work like programmers, cad, artists, music/video editing, will still need dedicated applications but really most people can get away with a chromebook type deal.
The browser/javascript is everything java promised to be and more.

Videogames. Not everyone can afford a gayming laptop, and a lot of normies have the perception that a desktop will always be more powerful than a laptop (even if their builds are completely unbalanced and poorly tough out garbage).
In third world countries people will still get desktops for basic web browsing and such taks because it's cheaper, or alternatively a smartphone.
Is the v10 the best sounding phone on the market?
I don't know.

I have one. The DAC is pretty good.
I haven't encountered this, but I've read about some users getting bootloops because of faulty boards or something. It's a common issue with the G4 too.
I had one on launch for about 6 months. DAC was fantastic, but not enough to make up for the other shortcomings.
Ended up selling it and getting a Exynos S7Edge, which is much faster, water resistant, has better camera, OLED, wireless charging and with no annoying dual display. I do miss the DAC tho.
I found a really cheap Raspberry pi B+, comes with accesories and pretty much everything that you might need, i was planning on putting android on it or some version of linux that supports browsing and videos, so i can make my RCA tv into a smart tv

I'm retarded and I need help....want to put a new cpu in this comp I built in 2010 and I have no idea what would be compatible. I don't remember shit about when I built this and haven't been keeping up with the computers lately..
tl;dr need a cpu you for this, please recommend
fx 6300 would be really the best choice imo, unless you need like a shit ton of cores in which case get the fx 8350

cool, what about ram? i have 4gb of ddr3
open that little booklet that came with the board or look on the cd for the board manual. it'll tell you in that thing.
