Dumb Lowtax posted:Does anyone know how PS4 Dreams handles this? I don't think it allows players/designers to do any scripting, but the end results do look like highly customized shader effects and render effects as if they had. See the below "game level" made by someone inside Dreams while playing it, submitted to the big online collection players browse through. As a programmer on dreams, I can say: There is no code, alas. It's entirely played by dualshocks and move controllers so code would be slower to create than the current methods anyway. It can definitely get a bit ratty if you're making something large scale but it's pretty solid and easy to understand, and you can pretty much wire anything to do whatever you want. Also the lighting effects are all just standard lights, Dreams' render-tech is bonkers. Objects have a sense of how "soft"/fluffy they are along with how much they glow, shine, how much the "fuzz" slides along the surface, wiggles, etc, and it kind of just.. works how you'd expect it. Users can artistically control this when sculpting or via sliders.

You see patch notes sometimes that are like, "Fixed bug where if you hit a buttmonster with a dicksword while it's raining the acid damage would not be applied", which makes me think the whole thing is one big if-else sieve.

Do you guys remember The Demon Rush? I had the source code for that, the entire game logic was like 120,000 lines of if statements in five scripts. The scripts all called each other and were only separate because the editor got too slow. There were also 50,000 lines of dialogue strings manually word wrapped, with all quote characters in the strings concatenated instead of escaped Gotta respect the effort but drat

That gave me a flashback  to the time when you got new games by typing them in from books and magazines, praying all the time that you didn’t have a typo. Because many were like that, and good luck finding the error if it didn’t work. Fun times!here's a sample

*sees PCGen could be useful for RPG game and has note saying they badly need help coding* *checks out repo* *25000+ lint warnings* *code calls its own deprecated methods, compares literals for string equality, and has if statements ending with “&& false”* *idly wonders if they have considered why they aren’t getting volunteers*

lol that made me remember Crimson Haze: the MMO where instead of paying a subscription fee you pay for your membership by contributing source code. Also, none of the source code has been written yet.

Zopotantor posted:That gave me a flashback The Commodore magazine had a checksum program you typed in first (mostly hex numbers because it was assembly code), which wedged itself into the system somehow. Then the other listings had the checksum for the lines at the end, and the checker program would make a good/bad noise depending on whether you entered the line right or not.

The listings that were mostly DATA statements were also useless in terms of teaching you programming. You could manually translate the bytes into machine language, but that was way too much work. At least the pure BASIC ones you could learn from.

Most of the good ones had line-by-line checksums by the end of that era. I don't remember that version specifically, but there was one that printed a checksum on the screen as you typed each line, to compare against the one in the magazine. I disassembled one of those games here https://github.com/hyphz/crossroads-2-disassembly/blob/master/xroads2.asm . The actual machine code isn't particularly horrific, although there's a few things that might be bugs. Also, aaaagh  AAAAAAAAAAAAGH  hyphz fucked around with this message at 18:25 on Nov 17, 2019 |

Arsenic Lupin posted:My Vizio literally won't let you pair the remote unless you give it network access. I found this out only after we'd opened it up and installed it.  That's insane. Now, I presume you can give it network access and then remove it (change the password of your wifi or unplug the network cable). Will the remote still work after that?

They usually have an equivalent "signage" model that'll run you several hundred more. Ultimately it's probably cheaper to get a nicer router and put IOT garbage on a restricted subnet, though.
