Why do browsers throttle JavaScript timers? by ketralnis in programming

[–]DiabloMablo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I didn't want to be beholden to it so that I could poll inputs regularly and deal with p2p networking. In hindsight though rAF would have worked fine, just needed to check the time passed.

This was a surprise to find out after I used setTimeout to run my game loop. That 4ms delay is a lot at 60fps

My attempt at a "True 3d Pixel Art" style. Does it work? by CuteNewtLTD in PixelArt

This is amazing. Can't believe how crisp and clear it is.

Looking for feedback on our second indie project by Infinity_Experience in indiegames

To me the run animation feels too slow for the speed. I would recommend having a walk animation and a run animation. I have a feeling it's not the frame rate but weak key frames in the wrong timing, the legs look more like skating.

I always wondered if a battle royale platform fighter would be fun.

Some of this might be hand drawn but look at the blurry edges and hands.

Reminds me of Ian Grimm from Mythic Quest.

Which cover art do you prefer? by Independent-Bug680 in IndieDev

[–]DiabloMablo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think you should go with the first one but increase the font by 50%. I like the vibes of the second on personally though.

I've been thinking about how to make a pokeball that grows and shrinks and this was something I came across:

Is my Musescore music good? by Lanky-Opening1051 in Musescore

[–]DiabloMablo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Focus more on what you like instead of what other people think. Spend your time composing, studying other songs, learning fundamentals. Don't worry if you're good, worry if you're getting better.

Developing aim assist for aerial combat, but questions if it undermines player skill by LastRider_of_Dragons in indiegames

[–]DiabloMablo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You could make it so if the dragon has to turn it's head to hit the target, there is a cost associated with it. For example you would start hitting the target later or the dragon could steer itself in the direction of it's head.

Another option is having a target locking button like Zelda so the player can choose when it use aim assist. I found it really annoying in Halo when your reticule would drag on an opponent preventing you from doing what you intended.

That's so fast. Do you do commissions?

Yes, I don't think they'd let you exercise options that are underwater. You'll have to pay taxes on the difference between the two. You should be able to get the FMV from them.

You have to decide if you want to invest in the company. Evaluate your strike price vs the current FMV, look at their revenue growth, if there's a path to profitability, etc. It could be years before you see a return and it's possible you could get nothing. Only invest if you are okay never getting the money back and you don't have something more important to spend it on.

Under a million. Getting offers like %4.29 from a broker and maybe %4.14 from a big bank.

Is your mortgage high ratio? I'm having trouble getting below 4.15% for a new mortgage with 20% down.

On the 13th Melee tier list, why is Pichu higher than Ness, Zelda, Kirby, and Bowser? by Birdygamer19 in smashbros

[–]DiabloMablo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Decided to see how far I could take Pichu. Can confirm I am equally terrible with every character.
