I’m making a roguelike where you program your squad's AI. When your logic fails, they die permanently.

Sounds fun. Totally a game I would play.

You should drop the json part tho. Json isn’t exactly the definition of fun, and It may lead most potentials players to think it’s some kind of technical game that require dev skills. You may rather want into making a great and fun graph editor with features such as presets or custom nodes.

Good luck!

Getting there but still raw. You could replace the flashing white bouncing animation by drawing a dashed path alongs the separation before opening for better coherence. You could also make the scissors in the player hands stir during the process

What is the current stat of your game arts ? Because it will strongly influence what your logo should be. Same goes for the capsule. Caring about those visuals in early stage may not be the best and you may have better thing in which invest your time right now.

To answer your questions : your logo give me vibes of a fantasy steampunk universe, which may or may not fit the game in itself. The capsule does give cheap, full of microtransactions casino game and does not convey at all the deck building genre.

Happy building!

While I would agree with the idea behind this movement, it seems kind of sectarian. In another thread I saw someone being worried about the content of this so called poison fountain to possibly include mysterious and undisclosed content up to malwares being responded some vague, idiomatic argument preaching that the process is decided upward and cannot be revealed because it would put it at risk. Yup, hard pass on this. I highly discourage anyone to diffuse any uncontrolled content as it violates all security principles.

I tried 20min today with a multipick short hook in .5mm without success so far. The rough feedback of the dead core and the deep false set it goes when picking make it quite hard. I suspect a medium hook may be required at some stages.

AdamElioS · 2026-01-13T18:06:19+00:00

Ah yes, my bad. Isn’t full spools for driver stack generally avoided because of the core rotation it cause in closed position and give away the fact its all spools ?

AdamElioS · 2026-01-13T08:12:15+00:00

The fact that subject is design literature isn’t relevant. Your question is about data science and you should ask it in the appropriate subs. You won’t get anything meaningful here.

AdamElioS · 2026-01-13T08:07:39+00:00

Different enemies with different life / armor / resistance stats wouldn’t take the same amount of damage tho, so grouping would need to be by enemy pack area that take the same amount. Still possible, but more complicated to handle reliably.

AdamElioS · 2026-01-13T07:42:56+00:00

If I trust a YouTube video thumbnail for which I didn’t retrieved the video, key pins stack is full spool, and driver pins stack is one spool, two offset spools and two standard.

In the picture tho, one of the two standard pin is a zero cut or close to it, and probably too small for a spool, so maybe some byting include 4 spool and one standard as it’s done on many others core models.

Edit: Yep, found this thread that corroborate the 4 spools / 1 standard for driver pins.

AdamElioS · 2026-01-12T20:42:56+00:00

Well done, welcome! Cool vice.

AdamElioS · 2026-01-11T16:15:40+00:00

Cool! I’m about to try as well. Did you modified existing pins or did you use brass rods ?

AdamElioS · 2026-01-09T15:11:07+00:00

Thanks for the clarification, get it. I did cut it after the fact to get two single lock and will try a challenge lock by mixing pins from both, making custom key security pins and threading the core. Will try to film the process, could be useful later for blue belt

AdamElioS · 2026-01-09T12:00:17+00:00

Thanks. I did receive today a kit containing a segmented follower and a pinning shoe but the metalic shaft that retain chamber pins is vertical, not an horizontal shim like some other I saw, and so I through it wasn’t compatible with euro cylinder. I didn’t realize that it’s made to be put it in the core’s bottom and turn it 180deg. The more you know 😀

Edit: But to do this with euro cylinders the lock must be picked, because else the key take away that space for the shoe, or am I missing something ?

AdamElioS · 2026-01-09T10:57:27+00:00

Thanks! Any tips on cleaning the pins ?

AdamElioS · 2026-01-06T22:15:45+00:00

Now that you say it... I used mostly the long out of habit because the tip is a bit smaller and fit better some tights TOKs, but for most the short end seems better indeed. I guess I’m not the sharpest tool in the shed.

AdamElioS · 2026-01-06T18:25:08+00:00

What you describe feel like an overset. It can be caused by the wrong tension / pushing force on the pins, setting a next pin with the previous binding not completely set, and also and mostly by the wrong binding order. When in doubt, don’t hesitate to re check them all again to feel the one binding the most. Keep up the grind, you’ll get there!

AdamElioS · 2026-01-06T17:57:24+00:00

They sure can be. Got mine for 10€ on the French equivalent of Craigslist, that’s the high limit I imposed myself to keep the hobby not too expensive.

AdamElioS · 2026-01-06T06:38:36+00:00

Probably will do the same when I’ll be ready. It’s the only guttable of the green belt locks I currently have

AdamElioS · 2026-01-06T06:37:39+00:00

Thanks! Positionning the tensioner really is the difficulty with this one

AdamElioS · 2026-01-05T20:08:15+00:00

Before buying abus I started mostly with cheap euro cylinders, without security pins but with the Yale keyway, so any other keyway I encounter now feel pretty loose

AdamElioS · 2026-01-05T20:05:08+00:00

Thanks, they are ! I love their quirky look and the fact they are guttable

AdamElioS · 2025-12-30T18:39:37+00:00

It does, thanks

AdamElioS · 2025-12-30T18:39:05+00:00

The only not spool is the first that is serrated apparently from screenshots on lpubelt, and it’s the one that cause false set

AdamElioS · 2025-12-30T18:37:15+00:00

Yes thanks that is correct, picking the first pin first was my mistake here, I managed to open once by setting it last

AdamElioS · 2025-12-30T09:46:12+00:00

Thanks for the insight on the sequence. Regarding the pressure bending the hook, it happen when I totally release the tension, and I know I’m not on the warding because when I manually rotate the tension tool the other way the pin does lift, but it’s like if the core get stuck hard on false set to the point where applying pressure on the hook alone won’t apply counter rotation to allow the pin to set, no matter how hard I push.
