>>135718871
Probably most real programming requires you reading through a whole bunch of books or articles or tutorials on how say for example an if statement works and the concepts behind it then having practice problems to figure out on your own to become a real programmer you need to figure out how to think like a computer scientist which is a difficult thing to do because it requires a lot of patience and a lot of practice coding

I like your determination. Never give up on your dreams. Always believe in yourself. Find the courage within to surmount any obstacle. Let your heart guide your path. Trust yourself and act before thinking. Review your notes before taking a test. Always maintain firm eye contact when speaking with someone. When meeting someone new, immediately give them a nickname. When you find yourself in conversation, plan what you will say for best effect, to ensure a quick victory. Pump your gut in and out quickly so no one can know your true weight. Walk with a hunch in your posture so you can impress people when standing straight up. Always pause before accepting a handshake or high-five, this puts you in the dominant position.

>>135724320
Start a discussion then. Be the change you want to see.

This shit results in an infinitely slow speed as the gameObjects gets closer to its destination at chosenPos, and it never arrives.

I have a ConversationHandler class, and calling playMusic from anywhere in it causes a crash. It's not a problem with the music file itself or the playMusic function, because I can call it from other files and it works just fine. As I said, this didn't happen before when my code was shitty, but now it's happening even when I revert it back to the shitty code.

Make a game with a dude who can throw punches like Mantis Shrimp. Scaled up in power to weight to adult human, his punch would have more energy than a 7 ton shell fired from Schwerer Gustav, projectile that could punch through 30 feet of reinforced concrete.
His punch would have enough energy to press carbon in human body into fucking diamonds.

Just think about that shit for a second.

>>135727986
Learn to use your debugger. What exactly is being passed to playMusic()? Is it a valid file identifier, or whatever it is it expects?
We don't even know what language you're using, so maybe it has stupid scoping and where you call playMusic from actually does matter because you're reusing a variable name. We cannot possibly help you with the information given.

Fine, fine. This is just the relevant part of the code, I feel like seeing the rest would just confuse you also it's humiliating how spaghetti-coded it is, if you absolutely have to see it, I'll upload it.
What's interesting is that the crash doesn't technically occur immediately after starting the song. After calling playMusic, the game continues to update for just a fraction of a second before the crash occurs.

This kind of shit always bothers me in animes. He wouldn't be able to punch a hole in anything much deeper than the length of his arm.

You can't just stop an attack dead with your katanas when the same attack would have blown a giant crater in the ground you're currently standing on.

The shell you spergo.
also that much energy released would evaporate people, including the one who threw the punch.

>>135730005
>He wouldn't be able to punch a hole in anything much deeper than the length of his arm.
The material doesn't just disappear, it needs to go somewhere. So given that someone has super animu strength, the material that's being pushed directly by his arm is also an extension of if.

Find a subject, and draw it. Then draw it again, trying to improve on your last drawing. Then do it one more time, still trying to make it less shitty.

You can do it quickly, just do it once a day minimum. I'm pretty happy with my art skill gains.

What engine leads to the least shitty coding practices? I know it's really up to the programmer but you have to admit certain contexts really help or hinder good practice.

Please don't meme me, I have been memed no less than 5 times today.

what do you call this effect when something is moving so fast it leaves a transparent image of itself behind and the faster you move the longer the effect

>is pixel perfect collision something that 's very important?
Depends what you mean.
Pixel based collision, where you'd collide with the land because that part of the tile has an extra pixel sticking out is not at all important. Usually it's a positively bad idea because it means the player will get caught on little sticking out pixels.

Far better instead to have collision take place between abstracted out forms. Simplest is square tiles vs a player square or circle. That way the player can bump against something and slide along nicely.

I think the only place I'd use pixel based collision is something like a Worms clone.

>>135735269
>I'm not posting this one because you don't give a shit about my game, you just want to be right
No, I want to see the game that you made without having to spend dev time on stuff that you can buy in the asset store, as stated.

>>135733902
I suspect you're using the lerp incorrectly. I'd guess you're doing this:
function perFrame {
// something to calculate a value of r
position = lerp(position, target, r);
}

Instead you want to be linearly interpolating from your original start position to the target position.

var moveStart;
var moveTarget;

function perFrame() {
var r = (currentTime() - moveStartTime) / moveDuration;
position = lerp(moveStart, moveTarget, r);
}

function startMovement(target, duration) {
moveStart = position;
moveStartTime = currentTime();
moveTarget = target;
moveDuration = duration;
}

>>135735893
>where is your game hurr durr
No, I told you I wanted to see what a game where you don't spend time working on stuff you can get off the asset store looks, since I assume all the devtime is dedicated to content.
But, surprise, you seem to have no game. How foolish of me.

>>135735469
>>135735697
Well I have my collision parsing logic working efficiently so even if I add dips in landmass that are larger than the raft those will get picked up, and then I can just directly draw over are too small for a raft to pass through
the downside if I do this is if I have the ability to swim lets say, the pixels for the head would allow travel for smaller spaces (visually wise) so I probably will need to map out the areas to the smallest possible object (a sprite's head) and then glide over the rest
that might cause problems while in the raft or larger object states though but I can't really see a better solution

>>135737119
Yeah, what I'm saying is that you shouldn't be passing a lerp() function a "speed" in the first place.
You give it a ratio (between 0.0 and 1.0) that it uses to interpolate between the start and end position.

I like the new colors a lot, actually.

>>135737169
>is my color contrast enough
turn it into greyscale, best way to check

>>135737335
Well thats what I mean by speed, its the rate at which it gets there, and thus the number of frames.
Feeding it 0.05f it never got where it needed to. You wouldnt notice, but if you listen to the update function you will see its 0.0003 away from its end destination, and keeps "moving" towards it at a rate too small for the coordinates to even update, thus getting stuck.

Is Haxeflixel a good toolset to work with?
It's listed in the OP but I don't see anyone ever mention anything about it.

>>135737538
I love that you're talking about this as if you've discovered a massive bug in every linear interpolation implementation ever made.

I don't even know what language, library or engine you're using. But I guess it's something like
pos = lerp(start, end, r);

That "r" value is NOT speed, or rate of movement, or how many frames it takes to get there. You have misunderstood interpolation.

>I love that you're talking about this as if you've discovered a massive bug in every linear interpolation implementation ever made.
But I am not? You are just reading it that way, for whatever reason you have.

The language is C# in Unity, and I mentioned it, because this way of doing things is often suggested on forums, Stack Overflow and such.
Also me calling the rate at which the animation completes "speed" seems perfectly reasonable, regardless of its technical role. It is for all practical purposes the speed of the animation.

>It is for all practical purposes the speed of the animation.
Again, you're misunderstanding and misusing interpolation. Apparently some people on forums are too.
The "r" value I've talked about indicates how far through the motion you are. NOT the rate at which you wish to move through the motion. The lerp function should be called with the same start and end position each update, with just the r increasing as time goes by. Otherwise what you're doing is not linear interpolation.

The most obvious way to tell you're not doing linear interpolation is if the motion slows down when it gets closer to the target (in your case it slows to virtually zero). That's not linear motion.

>>135739167
Actually three:

The lightness method averages the most prominent and least prominent colors: (max(R, G, B) + min(R, G, B)) / 2.
The average method simply averages the values: (R + G + B) / 3.
The luminosity method is a more sophisticated version of the average method. It also averages the values, but it forms a weighted average to account for human perception. We’re more sensitive to green than other colors, so green is weighted most heavily. The formula for luminosity is 0.21 R + 0.72 G + 0.07 B.

Luminosity is usually the most correct one.

>>135739676
I understand what you mean now, and that might be true. In the manual its done using deltaTime, I did it with a set value that never changed.
In many approved answers on forums and such it was done in a similar, and in some in the exact same way, with a static value as the last parameter.

In any case, I've also found basing stuff on that a bit inconsistent, so I try to use window_get_height() instead.

FUCKING CHILLY WIND.
How can I progress when my mouth hurts and dries up all the time?

YOU DON'T NEED A MOUTH TO MAKE GAMES FAGGOT

Game idea: just implement procedurally generated physics in a space game.

As in, every time you load an instance, an algorithm produces new laws of physics that will govern that instance. So today, F=Ve — as you apply force to the ship, it will expand its volume in the same direction while maintaining the same state of energy as some kind of horrid space-shoggoth. Or maybe a=ω/m2 — the more massive your ship, the more you have to cork-screw it to create acceleration.

So your CPU is 7c above room temp

Your programmer works for handjob? Man, I wish I could find one like that.

>>135742828
That will turn out awesome or the worst game possible.

I have Hyper 212 EVO already and I'm not buying a fucking Noctua or some shit to please someone's autism.
Those things are made to shrug off 90°C.
50-60 is nothing for them.

You're the biggest autistic freak in this general.

Nodevs are ridiculous.
