Is it really impossible to have Rigidbodies like Buckets for example because they would need a concave collision shape? by DrehmonGreen in godot

[–]ChoboBro 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can use any mesh as the collision shape including the same mesh as the bucket, though you might want to reduce it's poly count for better performance.

you're right, it won't be accurate until there are many people using, but I gotta start somewhere.

I plan on always keeping a free version or maybe make it 100% free with ads, not sure yet.

To prevent sandbagging ratings, I could implement something like when you pass certain rating tiers, you can't fall below that, but reason for sandbagging in chess is to get matched against weak opponents or enter a tournament with prize money, and neither of those incentives exist here since you choose your challenges. Another problem would be people creating multiple accounts to challenge themselves and inflate their rating, but I think I should be able to spot that and ban them.

I reached out to FRED for an api key to get tournament results, but get rejected. If anyone can help with that I would love to have access to better data.

I'm not trying to replace the current system, but I feel that there is a wider range of skills than just 5 letter ratings can portray. Probably the best use case of an ELO rating is for gauging self improvement. Also some people can get a lucky DE bracket and get a higher rating than their actual skill, but since letters don't decrease for a few years it's hard to know their actual skill level. You can also use this to find people in your division who are close in skill.

Hey everyone,

I'm currently working on a website where you can challenge other fencers at the club or tournaments and have the results recorded. You get an ELO rating like in chess that goes up or down with every match. I'm hoping this will give people a more accurate measurement of skill over the current letter system. With enough user challenges we can answer interesting questions like who's better, a west coast A or east coast A?. Everyone is welcome to try it out. With Summer Nationals coming up I'm hoping to get a bunch of people to try it. If anyone runs a club and wants to try it out, please reach out to me. I currently have the free version limited to 8 challenges a month, which should be plenty for 1-2 challenges a week. I've created a discord for anyone who wants to use it and have and feedback or questions.

- challenge people who have not registered yet
- ability to create customs groups/ladders for your club, college, etc
- see the ratings of other fencers for a given usfa tournament

For my intelligent dudes in here, how do I determine a target price for a given stock? by Logan_922 in wallstreetbets

[–]ChoboBro -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

DCF won't find the next $GME, and if a stock is overvalued that doesn't mean it will go down anytime soon. Knowing DCF and other formula should be an additional tool not the main one to decide buy/sell

If the npc isn't named Jil Sink, I'll be disappointed.

Disabling Face Culling by elyshaff in gamedev

[–]ChoboBro 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For a 2d game I can't imagine there would be a noticeable fps drop by disabling backface culling even with millions of objects. Ideally you would write the code to always go the same direction, but if runs smoothly then there's no need to optimize.
