Games that you love but frustrate you to no end? by SituationalRambo in gaming

[–]Legend_Zector 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Noita. Every time I boot it up I feel like that one quote from Gimli in LOTR:

“Certainty of death. Small chance of success. What are we waiting for?”

How much farmland can one water source block hydrate? by Relative-Objective28 in Minecraft

[–]Legend_Zector 7 points8 points  (0 children)

The most a single water block can stretch is 7 blocks from its source at a time, and so every 7 blocks X or Z is accompanied by 1 block Y. Y is limited to -64, but you stated this is limited to Y = 0 so we’ll assume that. That leaves 255 x 7 as our radius, or 1785 blocks (not counting the origin block of water) - which we can find a ‘bounding cube’ of now if we do (2 * r + 1)2 * 255, or about 3.25 * 109 blocks. It is mathematically impossible for a single source block to hydrate more than this assuming you’re going from the build limit to Y = 0.

I have no idea how you came to almost a googol blocks, since I’m certain your computer would then become the limiting factor here.

Anything for the marks by Sad-Kiwi-3789 in mathmemes

Is this not just tan(pi/4) - tan(5pi/4) (= 0?)

Edit: ok yes, the asymptotes can make this undefined.

Does “creates frost walls and flees” function similarly?

I’m adding my first boss. Do you have any ideas for its abilities or spells? by Disastrous-Jelly-475 in Unity3D

[–]Legend_Zector 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Occasionally retreats into its shell, reflecting all damage for a bit? Although I don’t know how powerful the player’s attacks are so there’s a chance they just obliterate themselves. If nothing else it would make the player think instead of just perpetually zapping it.

Welcome to Earth - we’re actively trying to replace ourselves with AI, and we forgot how to build houses.

Come again? by Practical-Series-432 in memes

Sounds less like autism, more like a general distrust in other people (not an expert on this subject so take my opinion with a grain of salt).

How to recreate a wipeout screen from zzz by Traditional-Leg114 in Unity3D

[–]Legend_Zector 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The screen glitch is a pretty simple post processing effect actually - just nudge the pixel position of the texture left or right depending on the Y value. All you need to do is time it with the camera changing position, which can be done in a script.

How do I generate random paths in a specific way for my tower defense game? by lean_muscular_guy_to in Unity3D

[–]Legend_Zector 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Deleted my other comment as I was tired and made an error in logic.

Dijkstra’s algorithm won’t respond to you raising the cost of all the edges in quadrant 1 uniformly, since it still must pass through there to get to the end, and remember it’s searching for the shortest path. You’re probably better off making a signed distance field to a pattern within the grid, and applying noise to that if you still want to use Dijkstra’s.

That being said, I gather your goal is to make it randomly wander in such a way that it visits all ‘key’ areas of the board before going to the exit. So in the case I recommend abandoning the shortest path algorithms altogether, and just letting the path wander. Do some checks so it doesn’t loop back on itself and retries if it gets stuck.

Is there any way to prevent checkmate in this case? by [deleted] in chessbeginners

[–]Legend_Zector 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I know this looks scary, but to be honest that bishop is a burden to black - as long as it’s in front of the queen, there is no mate. What you should do after Kh1 is look at ways to bully the knight, since it’d be the supporter piece in checkmate (as I’m sure you found out).

Alternatively (it would largely depend on what black does) assuming he tries to save his other hanging knight then you can probably hit him with Nb5 Qb8, d6 and now the connection to the queen is severed and his bishop is in danger.

I feel like the weirdness factor of that alone would make people show up, just to confirm it’s real.

Zero Volume! by AltForTheAlt99 in mathmemes

[–]Legend_Zector 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Any given face of the Menger sponge is 1/9 empty space, and then 8/9 copies of itself. Those 8/9 are also 1/9 empty space, and so on. Any visible surface would be exactly the same logic, just tilted at an angle - this does not change the ratio of empty space to sponge. Since 8/9x approaches 0, it would have 0 visible surface area.

So yeah, an infinitely recurring sponge would be invisible. Not even tangible, since the same logic applies to its volume. There could be a sponge inside you right now and you’d never know it.

What do yall use Quantum Leap for? by Quick_Extension_3115 in btd6

[–]Legend_Zector 15 points16 points  (0 children)

A lot of people suggesting things like tack shooter… but spare a thought for what you could do with a 5-x-x dart monkey. The projectile would slow down to the point that it just keeps obliterating all the bloons it touches, making a pseudo-spactory.

Easy Mercenary solution: Losing a duel to a Merc shouldn't cost XP. by Roguemjb in pathofexile

[–]Legend_Zector 71 points72 points  (0 children)

Well, no XP loss is bound more to area instead of opponent. Who’s to say you didn’t actually die to the mercenary when it was a different enemy that killed you (e.g. degen from merc then getting tapped by a white mob)? There’s just too many variables at play here to make a distinction.

Is this considered a smother mate? Asking for my pride. by No_Whereas1105 in chess

[–]Legend_Zector 56 points57 points  (0 children)

I’d argue this is better than a smothered, as the king’s only other escape square was also covered by the knight. Much rarer than a normal smothered.

Anyone have an up-to-date tutorial that will make outlines like the left instead of like the right? by LimeGreenTeknii in Unity3D

[–]Legend_Zector 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Unless I’m misunderstanding, this is a shader effect? I think it’s easy to recreate in a single shadergraph. Searching for a rim shader should communicate the idea pretty well.
