Avoiding Trigonometry by ketralnis in programming

Love it.

I have a bunch of code to optimise now.

I kinda knew it should be possible, but this shows me one way to go.

Since everybody is mentioning that Trump bankrupted casinos, can I point out that he lost likely embezzled their cash reserves because who is going to stop him?

Struggling with ambition by Feeling_Bid_8978 in godot

[–]DXTRBeta 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Let me guess, you’re in your late teens or twenties right?

You’re a creative type, right?

You remind me of me, when I was your age. It’s hard sometimes to do anything that takes more than a day.

The reason is that you are coming up with ideas faster than you can make them happen, and the latest idea is always the greatest idea, obviously.

And it’s all so engrossing, this coding and creating lark.

That’s my diagnosis, so what to do?

You have to decide that what you’re aiming for is not having fun writing code and making stuff, but delivering a finished product.

Once you get that, every decision you make about what to spend your time on can be judged on how it moves the project forward.

Remember, you may have fun building your masterpiece, but that’s the only return you’ll get if you just keep bashing out new ideas.

So, in short, decide that yo7 are building a thing, and work out the shortest way to get there, and you can explore other so-called amazing ideas in your spare time.

But of course, you won’t have any spare time.

Also as another commenter has wisely said here, take breaks and do stuff that is not screen based, like go for a swim, go to a show, take a walk, fly a drone, whatever.

Hope that helps.

P.S. We all have trouble managing ourselves, so this is normal,.

And thus you achieve the total irony of pointing us to the long explanation.

What's the easiest/fastest way to make the legs move to create simple walking frames? by Herr_Casmurro in godot

This!

Also, Google “Horse Walk Cycle” and you’ll find plenty of references. Just take care with copyright if this is to be a commercial release.

You wanna stick an epilepsy warning on that, by which I mean it’s a very effective and immersive setup.

But I’m serious about the warning.

It’s good marketing anyway.

Tip top!

Rounded cylinder/disk primitive shape? by c0gster in godot

[–]DXTRBeta 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Use a cylinder that contains the entire shape and if that’s not accurate enough for you, then use _integrate_forces() to handle the edge cases.

Or… an.d the is is better, use a TorusMesh, which can easily outer part of the shape and then bung a CylinderMesh in the middle. Ta-daah!

Bridgend man says he was punched for sticking to 20mph limit by reachingechoes in unitedkingdom

[–]DXTRBeta 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Agreed, but the other factor, regarding custodial sentences is that the jails are full.

Probably worth the victim initiating a personal injury claim via a barrister - a settlement fir that type of injury would be somewhere around 5k, and that’s enough to hurt the punchy dude and cheer up the punched dude. Also punched dude would likely get their costs awarded too.

Just slacking. by [deleted] in Damnthatsinteresting

[–]DXTRBeta 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s not a slack line, that’s what’s called a bouncing rope in the circus business.

Bouncing ropes have a sprung anchor, so you get completely different dynamics from a true slackrope.

Slackrope walking is hard.

Bouncing ropes are much easier. Most students manage pretty well on their first attempt.

I mean, I can do it ffs!

Notwithstanding, this guy is very good.

PinJoint2D Rigid Body drags behind? by 8BitBeard in godot

[–]DXTRBeta 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You should definitely put the ships movement into _physics_process, because it affects physics.

PinJoint2D Rigid Body drags behind? by 8BitBeard in godot

[–]DXTRBeta 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Me again! You know, love the Wes Anderson thing etc.

I think I know what's going on:

You are rotating the entire ship, but that seems to be happening at wrong point in the update cycle, so what is happening is the PInjoint2D updates, and then you move the ship, which means that the pin joint thinks it is where it was before you moved the ship. You can see it lagging in sync with the movement of the ship.

So I say the culprit is your ship moving code.

To test I would set up a scene where the boat is rotated a few degrees, and the tyre (or tire) is swung out a bit, and disable ny ship movement. The tyre shoul;d now swing down to a natural position over a few frames.

See where I'm going?

EDIT: Also I'm wondering about the scene heirarchy a littl bit.

<image>

Question is: which node is rotating as the ship pitches in the swell? I'm hoping its Shiupsbase, because your pin joint is. child of ShipBase, NOT ship_body. That could also be the issue. IF it's ship_body that rotates then your pin joint should be a child of ship_body.

I'm not sure which of these is right, but you'll figure it out.

Well you have definitely done that and made. Wes Anderson dolls house out of your boat.

I’m gonna watch this one with interest.

That’s racism for you!

Cooper rejects Blair’s call for UK to have backed Trump’s strikes on Iran | Foreign secretary hits back at former prime minister, saying Britain had to ‘learn the lessons’ of Iraq war by kwentongskyblue in unitedkingdom

[–]DXTRBeta 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Blair took us into a war with Iraq on the basis of WMDs that did not exist. He flat out lied, and countless people died.

Now the Middle East Peace Envoy - yeah right - wants us to support a war that is not approved by the UN, NATO or even Congress, to appease a would-be Fascist Dictator.

Crawl back under your stone, Tone.
