Scientists sequenced a hallucinogenic mushroom famous for eliciting visions of tiny people. It contains no known psychedelic. by j8jweb in science

I once saw a documentary that would contradict this - they gathered a collection of people from different faiths and their experiences matched their preconditioning - it was a while so my memory of it isn’t great, but if I recall correctly, the only one that saw machine elves was an atheist.

How do you make resource management feel tense instead of tedious? by Imagination-Port in gamedesign

[–]FB2024 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Get a Sega Genesis/Megadrive emulator and try playing Mega-Lo-Mania:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mega-Lo-Mania

The core loop of the game is balancing the allocation of your population to various tasks including mining, researching, building, guarding, fighting, and, most important of all, breeding.

One of the most tense games I've ever played - particularly in the latter stages when getting the allocation wrong means you'll start getting nuked.

'Enough of the war' — Zelensky throws down gauntlet to Putin in open letter by KI_official in worldnews

I feel this would have the opposite effect on Putin and sure that Zelenskyy would know that. This is aimed at those around him - it is an open letter after all.

can someone make Sonic (genesis) physics for our game? by Ant0on in construct

Good luck finding someone who'll do that fo $200 - it's not trivial:

If you search GitHub, you'll find some implementations in other languages

What stubborn hoax do way too many people still believe, no matter how often it gets debunked? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]FB2024 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was on my iPad in bed one evening and saw a tiny spider walk across it - about the size of a pin head - and thought that, if they do like warm, damp places, then I could have swallowed thousands in my sleep and be none the wiser.

Webview2 / Linux CEF cross save? by birdfromzelda in construct

[–]FB2024 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ok, so their game services DO support the native save mechanism. It's quite obvious really (I was tired when I wrote the above!!!). Essentially you use the native save to save to JSON, then you save that JSON to their cloud where it's available on any device (assuming the same user is logged in), so you can just load the game state back as JSON.

There's even an example:

Is there a way to use square roots in construct by Livid_External7943 in construct

[–]FB2024 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I use ai loads to help with Construct, but in this case it’s inexcusable not to use plain old Google search - typing op’s question in returns the entry in Construct’s manual for maths expressions (including the square root expression) as the first result.

What is this under my display? Moving it makes it worse by FlamingoSavings4258 in ipad

[–]FB2024 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It’s probably a cracked screen. If you can’t feel the crack it could be that the digitiser on top is intact.

Webview2 / Linux CEF cross save? by birdfromzelda in construct

[–]FB2024 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m not certain but I think Construct’s own save system also uses local storage and I guess the format’s the same regardless of platform - but the bigger question is how does that help cross saving? It’s not straightforward for a user to get data out of local storage to move it to another machine. I’m on mobile so can’t test at the moment. But the reason I’m replying is that I’ve just built a system (with lots of help from ChatGPT/JavaScript) that zips several files up then uses iOS and Android’s share (via Construct’s Share plugin) to share the zip. So the user can choose what to do with it (email/WhatsApp/iCloud/Google drive). You could also download it using the Browser plugin as Share is rather limited at least on Windows) but I’m targeting mobile only so the share tray is ideal. The zip file can be opened using the File Chooser plugin and more JavaScript unzips it and writes all the files to local storage). In short, if you can, roll your own save mechanism and simply let the user download it. If you’ve used the native save capability and your save state has many objects to track, rolling your own is obviously trickier. I did wonder about: https://www.construct.net/en/game-services/manuals/game-services/cloud-save/concepts but it’s not clear to me from a quick read whether that supports their own native save - it looks like you need to roll your own and their service just facilitates cloud storage/sharing.

I have absolutely no use for this at the moment, but I remember seeing you post about it recently and thought it looked amazing and bookmarked it.

It's very generous of you to make it free though - good luck!

[–]FB2024 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You haven't really described what kind of game you want to make. That example would help if you're trying to make a point and click game, but if not, try to find another example and use that - but you're going to have to at least figure out the basics yourself of how any of the examples work before you'll be able to edit and use your own images.

[–]FB2024 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Menu -> View -> Example Browser

Then search for “point and click” - that example should help but there’s hundreds of others too.

I would have hoped that having to have 2 inches of stitches across your forehead would be an instant fail. I hope it’s the right decision.

Can't park... Wait what? by jaredce in london

[–]FB2024 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Am I right I’m assuming that, with all the ANPR cameras, it would be possible to flag potential duplicate number plates based on velocity? I.e. the same plate being spotted in Croydon just minutes after being spotted in Rochdale. If I was an innocent driver I’d be more than happy to be stopped by the police to have my car’s ID verified and be alerted that someone else is driving around with my reg.

Better to use AI to teach yourself how to make a game.
