Topic: Game Programming / How Do You Pronounce...

I’m at an international education here in Denmark where everything is conducted in English – so during a day I switch a lot between English and Danish, and I would pronounce them a bit differently:

English:
http://vocaroo.com/i/s0vxed6wtI08

Danish:
http://vocaroo.com/i/s0NsKmCA34GU

(I might want to add that the JSON one sounds a lot different in Danish as I would pronounce it J (the letter) – Son)

Some of these I’ve never heard of, so that might change it a bit.

Use the time on creating games instead of playing them if you are actually serious about wanting to make one.

Round 1A was happening at like 3 AM for me, so I’m glad round 1B is possible for me, as I so far have no plans for that day :D… Even though I don’t count even passing through to next round xD

link because of a full-size screenshot.

My project with making music that fits the current environment is going along nicely. Need to tweak a few calculations, but I’m getting some decent results in my environment detection now :)

(Data of the surrounding blocks is being sent from Minecraft, and Max is taking care of calculations (what the image is showing) and later on the music as well)

Topic: Game Programming / Unity discontinues Flash support

And even if you were to make Unity games and want to publish them… It’s easy enough with the normal unity player really.

Oooh, awesome! I vote for that one. It’s been a long time since we had a theme as good as ‘elements’. Oh, wait…

I’ve never been part of any GITD competition, so I have no idea what themes has already been used xD

Topic: Game Programming / GiTD [#32] Entries and Discussion

Random theme ideas:

North

I’m not too sure if I’m gonna compete myself, as I’ll be busy with my semester project :(

Topic: Game Programming / TIMER PROBLEM

(I might be wrong)

But it sounds like you are trying to call the function addScoreOn by giving it a value, such ass: addScoreOn(100);

Whilst you have defined your function to not need any parameters:

public function addScoreOn(){
}

If you share your relevant code-snippet I can point out the specifics.

Topic: Game Programming / Collision in an object oriented manner

Thanks for the quick response ;)

Topic: Game Programming / Collision in an object oriented manner

Ahoy,

I’m trying to get better at object oriented programming and had a hopefully somewhat simple question:

If we take a platformer as an example, how would I go about checking collisions for the player (mainly against the platforms) in object oriented programming?

This is assuming that the platform and the player is separate classes.

I’ve personally done this usually by just moving the player in my main document, where I’m adding all the displayed content – but I suppose this is not much of a proper manner to do it.

Would I have to give the player class a reference of the level layout, or?

Topic: Game Programming / Google Code Jam 2013

Even if I did it in different languages… I would just have ended up using all the ‘normal’ ones such as java, javascript, c, c++ and c#…. Heck, even Matlab >_> It’s not much interesting when ActionScript is the most exotic one I know of xD…

That video was fascinating. I’m not kidding. I didn’t think it was boring.

that was including editing and 100 attempts of recording my voice…. If you see my ‘live’ presentations I sound like a tired pilot speaking xD

I tried to make up for the info by making some quick animations xD

Also fair warning; you can’t trust the conclusions we made in our report, as we ended up finding out at the exam we had made a calculation mistake (Always be sceptic with student projects, we’re still learning ;) )

Topic: Game Programming / Reviewing under rated games

Another suggestion: …. don’t be as boring as me!

Video presentation I made for an exam:

also… if you want to cringe, just watch my programming presentations haha >_<

Some guy…. I wonder who!

Non the less, good luck with your project, Oat.

Judging from what is popular on YouTube, if you want some more views doing things such as walkthrough / guides of games who just recently got a badge, or you think might get a badge should gain some popularity.

Topic: Game Programming / Google Code Jam 2013

Yeah… It ended up working… But it wasn’t fast enough to calculate the large input file xD

haha, thanks for sharing that site as well! Funny to see the list of my own country xD

also; I was 1/7 contestans using ActionScript xD… together with UG I see.

You might want to elaborate on why you need one.

Topic: Game Programming / Google Code Jam 2013

I just looked through some random entries…. a guy named ‘Soultaker’ from NL (rank 62). the first tic tac toe source code is just a txt file saying he did it in hand. for the large tic tac toe there is a brainfuck code, and the rest is coded in python, c and c++ hereby changing language at every problem >_<…. That Brainfuck part…. lol.

Topic: Game Programming / Google Code Jam 2013

only completed the first problem then I went to bed, haven’t started on the others yet… so 30 pts I think so far

Topic: Game Programming / Minecraft - Find nearby block ID's

Thanks for posting – that was the method I ended up using yesterday :)

For fooling around and testing I’ve now managed to be able to create a map in Max:

http://danishdragon.com/minecraftmapUnderground.png

So now we just have to continue our research, and figure out how we want our procedural music to work :)

If I want it to only send me the data when the player has changed position, I suppose I just have to track for a difference in position in the updateTick? Or is there a smarter way to do that.

Topic: Game Programming / Minecraft - Find nearby block ID's

Think I’ve figured it out with a little help from the Minecraft forums; found out how to check the block north, south, west and east of you – so should be easy to just turn that into a larger area :)

Topic: Game Programming / Minecraft - Find nearby block ID's

Ahoy!

I’m currently doing a project where I’ve decided to just modify Minecraft. It’s about producing music depending on your surroundings – so I want to figure out – as an example the nearby blocks in a 10×10×10 cube around the player.

I have just gotten Max MSP (what I use for the sound) and Minecraft to communicate together – but since this is my first time ever modding Minecraft myself, I’m in doubt how to gather the nearby block ID’s in an array or something.

Might have been smarter to use a Minecraft forum, but I’ll try my luck here first ^_
