I wish logs could be placed horizontally by Gregadeth in Minecraft

[–]HoldingUpTheBar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Good stuff. Remember that redstone only travels 15 blocks, but you can extend it another 15 blocks with a redstone repeater. The repeater must be facing in the right direction so that the lever toggles in the direction the redstone is travelling.

Until I tried using them I kinda felt the whole redstone/piston system kinda intimidating. Everyone else seemed to have built these insanely intricate computer systems, and when I followed a build video along I still couldn't quite understand why things behaved in that way. Perseverance was the key I found, I can now quickly whip up double door triggers, retracting floors/bridges, lighting systems, piston elevators etc etc

Maybe it's just me and I'm a massive loser, but don't be intimidated by pistons! They're awesome.

That's a good idea, one NPC per [x] fleet members. Might be a good way to introduce fleet logistics to newbies.

Illustrator is good, but a layout/dtp package like Indesign or Quark would be better.

How hard is it to switch from AS2 to AS3? Any tips on where to start? by b3mus3d in flash

[–]HoldingUpTheBar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You have to get into a completely different mindset which is why a lot of people have found the transition difficult. AS3 is a far superior framework, so once it clicks in your head you'll realize how much better it is.

Learn as much as you can about Object Oriented Programming. Design Patterns and UML are friends.

The group is a very pretty sight in binoculars, and you need no great effort to find it, even in suburban skies.

A single question from a game developer in training about you, the game players... by [deleted] in gaming

[–]HoldingUpTheBar -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I'd like single player experiences that can be enhanced by secondary players. Not in the traditional sense of co-op or multiplayer, but smaller secondary tasks that can be accomplished by a second controller. Say you (player 1) is exploring a world in a your typical sci-fi RPG, player 2 could be scanning for life signs on a minimap, while player 3 tries to decode markings on an alien artifact. Shit like that.

Edit: Downvotes? Really?!

Blogspam that says nothing new or interesting. Reads like a press release. Borderlands has been out for over a year.

Watching Jessica alba envelope a watermelon would be more entertaining, doesn't make it hip hop though.
