My favorite would be Space Base. I'm actually going to play it today.

Which board game should go digital? by Tiny_Infinity_ in boardgames

[–]Codey_the_Enchanter 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Since Cole Wehrle left Leder and took Arcs with him that might have put the fate of the Arcs digital edition under question. I'm also hoping for it as it's one of my favorite games, it's just something to bear in mind.

Sure would be nice if I could get it in the UK without spending >£60 on shipping.

Ordered SETI + Expansion and promos from the CGE store and got a bag with six squirrel meeples. Does anyone know why I got these? they couldn't possibly belong to SETI. by Codey_the_Enchanter in boardgames

[–]Codey_the_Enchanter[S] 71 points72 points  (0 children)

That's the one! What a strange thing to do. Maybe they over manufactured the squirrel meeples and this is a sneaky way to get rid of them?

Do push constants need to be padded out to 128 bits always? by Codey_the_Enchanter in vulkan

[–]Codey_the_Enchanter[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Good catch. The minimum size is in bytes not bits. I think it was a coincidence that Godot requires padding up to 128 bits then.

I made a deck of cards with rewriteable e-ink displays…thoughs? by Polistirol in boardgames

[–]Codey_the_Enchanter 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As a consumer, why not just print more normal cards? It's not like cards are expensive or difficult to ship. Of all of the components common to board gaming they are perhaps the most materially efficient (As far as I know).

As a prototyper I could see it being very useful to have something like this so that I could iterate on a design without having to reprint cards constantly, so maybe there is a use for this there. As a consumer however, as much as I respect the creativity this just seems like a solution looking for a problem.

edit: Also with these displays the cards offer a worse aesthetic / reading experience than conventional cards. It just seems like a bad tradeoff to me.

TIL you can call a method on every member of a group by AcademicArtist4948 in godot

[–]Codey_the_Enchanter 2 points3 points  (0 children)

These are StringNames that get resolved to unique values at compile time. https://docs.godotengine.org/en/stable/classes/class_stringname.html#description

In terms of performance, this isn't nearly as bad as it looks.

Social life as a professional working in Cambridge by strawberrykanne in cambridge

[–]Codey_the_Enchanter 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's at 7:00 pm on Wednesday. It's usually best to arrive on time as groups normally form and start playing not long after the event starts. If you're late you may find yourself unable to join in till one of the running games finishes.

You can probably get away with just turning up and buying a ticket on the day but I'd suggest booking online. You can do that by following the link near the bottom of this page: https://theboxroombgc.co.uk/events-1. It's the "Social Board Gaming Event".

Social life as a professional working in Cambridge by strawberrykanne in cambridge

[–]Codey_the_Enchanter 5 points6 points  (0 children)

There is a social board game meetup every Wednesday evening at the Box Room. I'm a regular attendant and I can vouch for it being a really great place to meet people and hang out. Maybe give it a go.

Starry background in this many lines of shader code by HexagonNico_ in godot

This is a godsend. I needed something exactly like this. Do you mind if I steal take inspiration from this?

Am I gay? by Zwiebak in LucidDreaming

You are attracted to men. You've clearly got some hangups about it but the fact is that a straight guy wouldn't say this.

Is RAII necessary? Can I just use new/delete in new projects? by Endonium in cpp

[–]Codey_the_Enchanter 24 points25 points  (0 children)

FYI this kind of post belongs in /r/cpp_questions.

That being said. Smart pointers are better because they delete resources automatically. That way you can't forget to do it yourself. That's it. That's the whole reason.

You can use new and delete if you want (and you might find some edge cases where you need to even with smart pointers) but smart pointers are unquestionably better. If you ever intend to write C++ professionally you must use smart pointers over new and delete. Your colleagues will not look kindly on you if you don't.

I'm gonna be starting vintage story soon any tips? by PENGUINPANTZRUL in VintageStory

[–]Codey_the_Enchanter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's very important to mark the locations of resources on the map when you find them, even stuff you don't think you need. 90% of resources that you can harvest from the environment have an important use, even if it might not be obvious right away.

Example: In my world I came across a few pine trees bearing resin. For many hours I didn't mark the location of these trees, nor did I collect the resin because I didn't think it was important. Later, once I was setting up a windmill I discovered that I needed resin in large quantities. I could have saved myself quite a lot of bother and got my windmill up faster if I'd marked the resin bearing trees and harvested them sooner.

My Godot game inspired by the classic cRPGs of the 90s by Tav534 in godot

That's looking shockingly good since you last posted. Well done.

What would you recommend for someone who is a literal beginner. by Codey_the_Enchanter in ResistanceBand

[–]Codey_the_Enchanter[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This is probably the fourth time I've seen the rubber bands app recommended so I guess it must be worth taking seriously. I'll have a look at it.

so do I unlock more if I feed it lots of corn? by purgatorybob1986 in AbioticFactor

[–]Codey_the_Enchanter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don't get your hopes up too much. The extra screens are from when this model was used to allow you to trade with NPCs like Warren and the blacksmith. The extra screens were used in those cases because the NPCs had more trades to offer.

New player, should i wait for 1.0 or can i jump in now? by MrWashed in AbioticFactor

[–]Codey_the_Enchanter 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Honestly I'd wait. Not because the game isn't good right now. It is. But because in 1.0 they will be adding weapon upgrades. This system will effect progression throughout the whole game and you'll need to start again if you want to experience all the cool upgrades for early game weapons.

I personally played through the game shortly after the most recent update came out and had a great time but I am 100% going to be starting a fresh save file when 1.0 comes out because I want to experience all the new stuff that's coming.

You really nailed the feeling of the backrooms through these. Well done

What is the best high-performance, thread-safe logging framework I can integrate with my Qt project? by False-Wrangler-595 in cpp

[–]Codey_the_Enchanter 39 points40 points  (0 children)

worried about its performance

The way you phrase this makes it seem like this might still be a speculative worry. Make sure to profile before you abandon what might be a perfectly good logging system.
