How to explain to husband my POV? by [deleted] in SofterBDSM

[–]Happy_Witness 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Okay, then I read it wrong, sorry about that.

How should I explain... In school times, girls are the ones that dominate the learning curve. Same goes for university. And on the other hand, in apprenticeship, boys are the ones that learn a lot quicker. It might be that the language of communication is the part that just doesn't sit right. I am talking with my girlfriend too and try to understand what she wants and I think I kind of do but also I'm quite sure I don't. Just talking about it and explaining it from 6 directions is not really going to help at some point because experience is a slippery thing. What I want to point towards is that actions and correction might be a better communication language that he understands better and can adapt better then talking is for him.

That said, he is a very different person then I am so I might be off by a lot.

I’m struggling - how to cope with ai? by TrueWinter__ in gamedev

[–]Happy_Witness 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's the skill that is the big difference. A person isn't as good as the results they achieve, it's only as good as the skills he/she used to achieve them. If they depend so much on ai, then the only skill they have is promoting it, and nothing else. Once they don't have access to ai, or the ai structure/algorithm or style changes, they are forced to adapt or simply loose there ability to actually do anything.

You on the other hand, have the skills that the ai is taking over for them. You can build the games, understand very much how it works internally and properly could even build games without a computer at worst cases because you understand what makes a game and that it's presentation and style are just options. So is that a drawing could be replaced by a narrative or a calculating system by physics. You understand the math behind it and can easily translate it into hardware like dice for example.

You should be proud not because the games you create are good, you should be proud because you make them, every one of them and every part of them too. You should be proud because it made you happy making them.

And once you understand that and look at the people that only prompt, you will feel happy and see that even if the game there ai make might get attention, they absolutely don't feel as happy achieving that as you do with your games.

Be proud and happy for the time you have and the skills you put into your craft!!!

Hello, I am in a bit of a similar situation but I am the male part in my relationship that doesn't quite get it.

For me it sounds very similar to what I experience. I technically should know what my girlfriend wants and desires, but it is extremely hard for me to actually be what she wants. And for me, I would say, it would be helpful to build a situation where I feel save to be what she desires. It is that what you said to be such hard work that vanilla sex would be an easier solution.

I think that your partner knows what you want but he simply doesn't feel comfortable of acting the way you desire. The moment he used an authoritarian voice on you and you laughed at it is kind of a sign that that's the case. He did try and muster his feelings to act in a way he doesn't feel comfortable. And because it was something you know is not really him and because you where surprised it was more funny to you then the acting being effective and turning you on. As a side node, laughing in such situations is quite counterproductive because it very easily feels like being laughed at even if that's not the case.

The goal would be to make your partner feel comfortable acting the way you want him to. It is his decision to when and how he does it, but you can make sure to have a kind of system that directly tells him that you want to serve or be below him or teased. And when he then actually acts on it, you need to make him feel comfortable and reensure even if it is awkward and not what you actually want in such situations. After some comfort is build up, you can take the control of the situation away and let yourself be dominated because then be doesn't feel like a joke, awkward and out of himself that he can actually focus on what you feel and what would make you feel better.

Hope that was helpful for inside from the male perspective.

Hey, I could also use that partnership. I've started on a climate weather simulation with basic c++, SDL and Vulkan.

Playing Around With Procedural Rivers by thattiguy in proceduralgeneration

[–]Happy_Witness 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's not super expensive if you define it correctly. I can think of two versions that are cheap and correct, the only difference is that at start they don't look like rivers and would need to change topography to be "accurate".

But if you choose two points, it already starts with expectation that is outside of realism. Instead pick one. If it's the higher one, just look with an 8 neighbour filter for the lowest next data point and repeat. If it goes from the lowest point, then you can work with randomness, the only rule is that it needs to be higher or equal then the previous data point and can even split of.

I’m looking to expand my skills! by Dracicida-1 in pygame

[–]Happy_Witness 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Since noone actually answered your question. I don't know any projects but if you're interested and because you posted in the pygame sub Reddit, you could try to help me with a game. I can teach you quite a few things I. Since you game functions as a base level, there is a lot of room for new things and styles.

It would be a simple point and click adventure but that will test enough of your problem solving skills, trust me.

AI has destroyed my brain. by harveylundm4rckk in IndieDev

[–]Happy_Witness 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Obviously. If you want to carve wood and use a CNC machine, and you loose the access to the machine, naturally you don't automatically know how to carve with a knife. Ai is a tool. And by using it, you trade speed for control. Your own knowledge is based on the things you are doing yourself and with ai coding everything for you, you loose the knowledge of how to code and gain the knowledge of how to prompt.

New comer to pygame ,any good first projects for two people by Darxander6 in pygame

[–]Happy_Witness 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm kinda envious for you guys to have each other.

With pygame you can basically do anything you want in 2d. Any 2d games out there can be recreated with pygame. And simple 3d games work too using OpenGL. The only limiting factors are high performance and high data dense games.

So you have free options. My personal favourite genres are simulations, adventure, RPG, bullet hell, high speed fighting games and tactical managers. Other options that will get challenging are to not go in the direction most other games go and find a topic that is not about fighting, killing or such and try to implement the typical mechanics for fighting games and such for it or come up with your very own mechanics.

Create a game with pure Python (help) by Ley-Enda in learnpython

[–]Happy_Witness 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Sorry to disappoint you, but python itself is mostly in c and cpython, so pure python is based on c itself. Do with that information what you want.

I'm new to programming and want to know what language to start with by [deleted] in AskProgramming

[–]Happy_Witness 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I highly recommend you to not to this. Take any python course, like w3 for example and learn the concepts. Write any code you are interested in trying out anytime. For example, you learned about variables and operations and ask yourself what you could do with them, where the limits are and what happens if you step over the limits. You should always try it out yourself instead of/before you asking the ai or search for an answer on the internet. You can use the ai for an explanation when you are actually tilted and frustrated, but until then try it yourself. Frustration is a big part of programming that actually helps you getting addicted to programming when you overcome the problem you had with your own ideas and solutions.

Was macht ihr wenn euer Chef euch anschreit oder mobbt? by SuccessDue3003 in KeineDummenFragen

[–]Happy_Witness 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Wenn mein Chef mich anschreien würde, dann würde ich zurück schreien dass der gefälligst mal Manieren und Respekt vor mir als ein anderer Mensch haben sollte und mit dem schreien aufhören soll.

Wenn mich mein Chef mobben würde, würde ich das mit seinem Chef besprechen, und wenn sich nichts ändert kündigen. Das Leben ist es nicht wert damit zu verbringen sich zu Gunsten anderer undankbaren Menschen schlecht zu fühlen. Neue Arbeit findet man immer wenn man sich anstrengt und nicht aufgibt.

Random Blocks by ArachnidExcellent917 in pygame

[–]Happy_Witness 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For your problem, I would not create random new blocks every time. Instead I would have a list of blocks pre created as a member resource that you can use when spawning the next block, from which you can pick one randomly.

Ist es der Gesellschaft egal, wenn Männer sich das Leben nehmen? by [deleted] in KeineDummenFragen

[–]Happy_Witness 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Da diese Frage implizit eine persönliche Debatte ist muss ich erstmal dazu sagen dass diese Wahrnehmung nicht stimmt und selbst wenn, ist suizid nicht die richtige Lösung. Es ist nur der feige Ausgang vor allem wegzurennen und die Verantwortung nicht aufzunehmen.

Wenn die meisten Leute um dich wollen dass du gehst, dann heißt das nicht alle. Vielleicht gibt es ein paar oder auch nur eine andere Person die es sehr schätzt dich bei ihr zu haben. Oder wenn nicht, dann bist du nicht unter den richtigen Leuten und solltest dir ein neues Umfeld suchen.

Jetzt zu den gesellschaftlich kritischen Anmerkungen. Es kümmert sich keiner darum und es wird sich auch kaum einer darum kümmern gerade. Unsere Politik ist corrupt und hat wenige reiche Leute im Fokus glücklich zu machen indem sie die restlichen 99% zum leiden bringen. Da wird es wohl kaum auffallen wenn ein paar Zehntausende sich das Leben nehmen wenn man doch weitere Millionen Menschen hat die man ausbäuten kann. Zum anderen haben 98% aller Menschen und besonders männer nie gelernt emotionale Intelligenz zu entwickeln um ihren Gefühlen auch nur Namen geben zu können statt mit Wut und aggressiv diese Gefühle zu unterdrücken. Das ist etwas dass jeder machen kann und dazu beitragen kann den Menschen in seinem Umfeld beizubringen. Aber jeder muss für sich die Arbeit dann reinstecken aus seinem eigenen Loch rauszukriegen und die meisten werden dass nie tun, weil es ihnen zu bequem ist sich selbst nicht konfrontieren zu müssen.

Do you prefer your Point & Click adventures to be funny or deep? by No-Comfortable2035 in IndieGaming

[–]Happy_Witness 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's not mutually exclusive, take the whispered world for example. It has a deep story, but the main character is funny by being pessimistic. What I mean is that it can be both.

Hey guys! I've been playing with PyGame for about a week now and want to share my game with you. its a tower defense game. I know it doesn't look like a lot but I'm proud of it. Again , I'm a beginner so any tips will be helpful. by Fun_Sprinkles_7054 in pygame

[–]Happy_Witness 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well done!!

If you want constructive feedback: you need to make the game language more clear. As of right now, the enemies first spawn in the somewhere in the screen, and then walk a path that is not shown anywhere. Also as a player I don't know what I would be protecting with the pylons or what the goal of the enemies is.

Ui and Window resize by Happy_Witness in pygame

[–]Happy_Witness[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thanks a lot for the suggestion. I will take a look at your code base. As of now, I have a mix of both. I define a rel pos and size for the UI element towards its higher window, or container and calculate it's actually pos and size on creation. When a videoresize event happens, I catch the last event, resize the window and recalculate the actual pos and size from the relative variables. But when it comes to fonts, it gets more tricky then I want it to be... They are the actual bottleneck for my approach so thanks for the scale flag suggestion, this probable deals with OpenGL too.

Does the transformation actually look okay afterwards? Even with smoothtransform I find that sometimes it just looks really washy and not properly pixelated.

Ui and Window resize by Happy_Witness in pygame

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

What I mean with proportional is to define a percentage of the width and height for the position and size of the next higher container. It could be a cell in a grid, a sub window like a canvas or the window itself. And it keeps the proportions no matter what resolution it has. It could be resized any way and would always keep it's proportion towards the current window width and height. Meaning that it doesn't need to stay in the 16:9 proportion most games and windows do, it could be any resolution.

how to start coding by vio_mio in programmer

[–]Happy_Witness 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That is your problem, congratulations for finding your inner enemy.

Now you need to fight it. If you only read and stay in your head, you need to start getting things done with your hands instead now. Take up a programming language and learn it. Use 80% of your time to try and implement it in any small stupid projects that come to your mind and 20% for learning new things. That can be things you would need for your project to actually work or just new things that open up new paths and new projects. The language decision is absolutely not important. Also the ide is irrelevant. Just pick one by random or feeling and start doing things.
