Worked on a little web based game where you have to guess the english phrase from the awkward backtranslated phrase  and it mostly works on mobile too which is pretty surprising  It's up here: http://lindseyb.github.io/phrases-machine/ if you want to play.

It's weird that it can contain a solution word:  (Also the button sizing is busted in IE11) Also I seem to be able to type too fast for it some times and it'll skip letters.

It's weird that it can contain a solution word: The prompt text was generated doing some scraping magic because I didn't want to pay to use the google translate API - I went through later and set the points by hand based on the difficulty. Some of them are way easier than others.

I use livestreamer with twitch from time to time, but tend to channel surf a bit and wanted a way to manage the streams in a VLC playlist. So, I wrote a flask app to process the URLs, interface with the livestreamer python API, and send the data over HTTP to VLC. I just add URLs to the playlist as network stream "localhost:port/w/<url>/<quality>" and can then use normal playlist management without launching new VLC/livestreamer instances. With a threaded WSGI server it works for multiple streams at a time.

I finished tidying up my movie simulation game. There's a whole bunch of screenshots and a download at this thread: http://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=3718656Edward_Tohr posted:So, uh, it might not be quite as impressive as some of the other projects in here, but... I've been working on a text game too, though not quite as complex. It's a wee labyrinth game a couple of days ago as well and it's come together surprisingly fast.   The game generates a random maze (still need to add interface to allow the player to pick dimensions) and plops you in one corner. There's a monster that moves around the maze and will chase you if it sees you. There's no map so you have to find the exit while dodging the monster which you can hear if it's nearby. You also get encouraging messages if you're near the exit.

Voronoi Potato posted:Are your particles accelerating opposite of the direction of the surface normal, because I think it'd be neat if the particles orbited and stuff. The particles start with a random velocity away from the origin of the explosion, then they are affected by gravity. I can change the parameters to get them to go out into space then come back in again, maye even around the planet once or twice, but i found it just doesn't look good. This is 100% fake physics, so real orbital mechanics are not going to happen. Shalinor posted:Now THAT is a sexy meteor impact.

munce posted:Thanks for the feedback guys. Slowed down and varied speed on the chunks. Looks much better I'm being ultra critical on this, and I know there's so much you can do with realtime graphics, but I know what I'm seeing is not what would happen. Even if it's in fast motion, particles from the explosion would look to remain almost stationary for a long time and either get ejected out of the Earth's gravity or get pulled back into orbit. Some could eventually crash back, and if they do, they'd cause long plumes of debris or ocean water and again look to remain almost stationary for a long time. Even though there's more involved to do this graphically, you could create textured cylindrical plumes for the large and smaller impacts that stretch outward and stay for a while then fade.

Physically speaking, the particles would not go into orbit, or circle multiple times before crashing. They would do one of three things: suborbital velocity: crash less than one rotation around the planet orbital velocity: go around the planet exactly once and crash back where they started escape velocity: go away and never come back

They would do one of three things: I would think that if some are able to reach an orbital velocity (with the right speed and inclination), then others would have be able to reach an orbital velocity that was > 1 orbit with high eccentricity that would degrade quickly after a few orbits?

It doesn't matter the eccentricity. The only thing we know about their orbits is that they started out in a position that intersects the planet, so the orbit then must intersect the planet at at least that point. Modeling effects that cause orbit degredation would shrink the orbit, and make it impact sooner, not later.

Modeling effects that cause orbit degredation would shrink the orbit, and make it impact sooner, not later. Yes, but there's a fair gap in velocities between a velocity required for escape and a velocity that is required for orbit, no? So the orbital velocity that has debris going around exactly once is significantly less than the escape velocity which has debris leaving orbit entirely. I'm questioning what happens to the debris that's in that middle ground.

Things operating purely under the effects of gravity don't spiral towards or away from things. In a simple two body system, the only shapes you can make are an ellipse, a parabola or a hyperbola.

quote:I got the initial alpha release of the ROM manager finished. Here's a new UI (which is limited to mostly the functional stuff now), with a few new enhancements thanks to drasticactions  Pre-launching  And here's the very beginning of a game playing on the big screen via streaming: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LmCZeIQ83Ow As far as I'm aware this is the only way to play ROMs with game streaming technology at the moment. The white noise isn't coming from the screen it's for our baby. Bad demo I know but it works as a proof of concept. Release page for anyone interested: https://github.com/Noppadet/Emulation-Manager/releases/tag/v0.5.0 homepage: http://www.hometheatertablet.com/tritium-emulation-manager-steam/ I've only had time to configure the controller with PCSX 2, which is the .lily file there. So if you're interested in streaming non-PS2 games this isn't there yet. It should work great for any desktop use though. So if you want to just launch emus and roms from Steam you shouldn't need more than this. Knyteguy fucked around with this message at 07:51 on May 19, 2015 |

I think it's pretty neat, but to avoid it making it look like little balls of cheese magnetically attaching itself to the earth, make them have some sort of small impact effects when they do that.
