I added laser doors.



I also made them expensive to craft since they're so powerful. I want to add different types of biomes but I haven't decided what types I want. I also want a day/night cycle. I'm thinking of having the asteroid belt be orbiting some kind of sun. The night cycle would be when some large planet or asteroid would be eclipsing the sun from the player.

I dunno, I'll see. As always, more at http://dangerz.blogspot.com

edit: I made a trailer. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8KzCQXOGwIs I wanted something different to do and this sounded fun.
edit #2: Now, a website. http://www.astrominer.net. I'm going to release a dev build on there soon.

Then I'm going to write up my experience building this and document the hell out of it.

Wow, that's impressive and quite unintentional. I can't imagine what's causing that, but it's fine when testing with latest dev Chrome on OS X. I'll look into it.

Thanks for the heads up!

You are right, I was lazy and under-delivered. I ran the installation on the street, but never got any good video of it in action.

I'll set up the installation again tonight in my living room tonight and make a proper demonstration video recording.

Factor Mystic posted:

Weekend project: A little Nancy extension which exposes your methods in C# as async calls in Javascript (calling it "NanIO")

And continuing this weekend, I build up a NanIO project to try out this stack + Appharbor deployment. It's a Chrome userscript which allows you to tag posts, and then on each page all the user's tags show up, crosslinked to the posts where you originally tagged them. Or, at least that's how it will work, right now it just shows them statically. And you can add new tags with the "+ Tag" link.

(The dark stylesheet is not part of the project, that's just something else I run.)



And all I needed to implement serverside was the first two methods, which are basically just wrappers for SQL queries (also testing out Dapper.net for fun):



And then glue it together in the userscript (excerpt, to show the simple NanIO call):



90% of the project time this weekend wasn't hacking on NanIO, it was bashing my head against the wall trying to get started with Chrome extensions. It is not at all clear what the right way is to get a remote script in a page. Right now I'm injecting nanio.js and my app.js code directly into the forums' dom via script tag, not in an isolated world, since apparently I can't bring remote scripts into the isolated world (and nanio.js is built/hosted dynamically so it wouldn't be proper to embed it in the extension as content). I could include it in a background.html file, then communicate between the forum page and the background.html via chrome's APIs, but that seemed like a lot of annoying work and I wanted something to show by the end of the weekend.

garbage man from a garbage can
We've been getting a lot of complaints that "everything is slow" and can't get any specifics about anything. We don't see abnormal usage patterns, our servers are sitting at 2-3% cpu usage, memory usage is fine, we're seeing a max of 4-5 mbps utilization on our main switch (gigabit switch, though other switches on our network are still 100 megabits). By the time the users let us know it's slow and we can look at anything, it's magically fine again.

So out of frustration, I wrote a new app yesterday:



  • Gets current CPU and Memory usage on the workstation
  • Pings the SQL Server 10 times
  • Pings Google 10 times
  • Runs 20 queries, each pulling back 100 random rows, on one of our most used database tables
  • Runs 20 queries, each pulling back 100 random rows, on one of our biggest and "slowest" databases
  • Copies a 250 MB file over the network to the workstation
  • Downloads a 5 MB file from the internet

Each event gets microtimed down to ten millionths of a second, then it automatically creates a helpdesk ticket to let us know. The total test takes about 2 minutes, or on the lovely 802.11b wireless about 10 minutes. It was stupid easy but way too fun to write.

Edit: http://pastebin.com/0jUQeG7J

Rather than try and setup a github and clean up the references to company-specific applications, I just did a quick modification. Also I'd be embarrassed to have this on github because the code was slapped together in an afternoon and I didn't bother to make it as clean as I otherwise would if it was a more serious application.

This is just the source for the main form, so you'll have to make the form which takes like 30s and the instructions for doing so are included.

FYI, every-single-apps you make are worth writing properly. The smallest, must one-time use ones usually end up snowballing into projects of their own.

That application you did looks pretty useful indeed, and I can guarantee that IT peeps will contact you to make it generate ticket for other poo poo.

Yeah, I know. It's not really that the code itself is bad or that I'm embarrassed about what I put on pastebin, but more that in order to make it something others can use beyond what I put up, I'd have to put in some effort in making it configurable and not tied into our own exception handling and helpdesk system. It's just not in a stage ready for putting on github, and if someone wants to take it in it's current state and have some fun, more power to them. I'll definitely be putting more work into it, but since the entire app is designed to work with our specific setup it's not something I'd want on a public repository yet.

I really just need to pull out each test into it's own function, throw in regions for easier readability, comment it better, throw in better error checking for when tests fail (my own exception handling is also done by my HelpDeskTicketer class), and make it configurable with a config file or a registry edit or something. Other than that it's pretty well done.

In a state ready for pushing to github is pretty much just "doesn't have any proprietary stuff that people would yell at you for posting on the internet". Github is not a publishing platform for completed projects and there's no reason not to push something that still requires some work to actually be useful.

If you developed this application at work you should be careful. Many employers make new hires sign a work for hire clause as a precondition to starting the job. Especially in the US and IT related positions.

They may not care, but it's something to keep in mind. If it were me, I wouldn't open source it unless I had a signed document from my company's legal department saying it was OK.

My boss has let me open source stuff before. We use lots of open source products and, when possible, like to give back to the community. He's all about letting me put poo poo up as long as it doesn't include company-specific work. Usually there's no reason to, because it's SO tied to our internal systems, but anything I can pull out and do separately is fair game. I just have to do it in my own time.

I don't like putting anything in version control that doesn't at least compile, and it'll take a few hours of work to make the app in a state that can be setup that way without proprietary code. It's just a personal preference of mine.

Click for a huge image of the base I've built in my game AstroMiner. I use it for testing any new features that I put in. Fortunately I haven't had any major map changes that I couldn't convert this over to, so I've had this base for a while.

When I first built it, there wasn't any water in the game. When I added water to the game, my base was a mess. I then coded in buckets so I could lift the water and move it. After that, I coded in the ability to place a block and push the water around. The culmination of that is the three pools that you can see.

Post video of stuff you are done working on.

From this year's OSGCC (24 hour game competition) placed 3rd. There's actually sound but I couldn't be bothered to try and get it working in the capture stuff I was using.

The christmas ball type things are health potions (I am not an artist). Pygame and python since we were working with a first year participant who didn't know D and I didn't want to be cruel and make them learn openGL when neither of my team members had done it before.

It actually has networked multiplayer so you get multiple sheep running around attacking ghosts, and yes sheep can hurt other sheep and that was everyone's favorite thing to do.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WsWhWeWthAE


source is anyone is interested. The source is horrible, but you can download and play if you have python, pygame, and whatever other dependencies.

Yeah it's not common at all. It's just the preferred language of the other guy I was working with and the language we used to write the 1st place game last year.
