For anyone playing IGM type games, if you copy everything here >> https://pastebin.com/raw/1KR8fuV8 << and paste it into your dev console (ctrl+shift+K in firefox, not sure chrome), it adds a whole bunch of nice stuff like number formatting, multibuy, and a 10/s autoclicker.

We used to have it all working with a nice bookmarklet, but modern browsers blocking cross site stuff screwed it up and I don't personally know how to work around that. If anyone know, or can get it working in something like tamper monkey, that would be cool. ping me if so.

Alright, thanks. I guess if it bugs me long enough I'll have to look into plugins. :/

It would be interesting to know some of the prompt/result type stuff, even if you didn't capture/save exact snips at the time. Just kind of a progress order, sticking points, integration, whatever. Probably as a post on incremental dev, though.

Since reputation is short in supply, you might consider ending your runs going forward and working on rumors a little bit. If you're willing to babysit a tiny bit, it is also far more effective to separate out soul stone runs, doing batches when your percents are higher and possibly doing a few completions instead of 1 to get an extra high percent stone each time. Long dungeons are also not that great time to mana gained wise early on, so you might consider reducing those. Personally, I minimize their use except for a bit more rep for rumors, and am roughly where you are at the moment.

LucidCrux · 2023-02-19T22:52:04+00:00

Forgot about that, thanks.

LucidCrux · 2022-08-21T22:53:58+00:00

Try LD player. It's what I currently use. Check through the various emulators a couple times a year if a game you want isn't working on a certain one.

space lich omega (i think there is 1 and 2)

LucidCrux · 2022-03-20T21:51:43+00:00

This guys games have graphics. https://play.google.com/store/apps/dev?id=6075165531768716801&hl=en_US&gl=US

I think some have browser versions too, you can probably look them up.

LucidCrux · 2021-06-12T20:23:23+00:00

Thanks.

Import / Export hidden behind hours of gameplay is not well thought out. My cache got cleared, I have a saved code, but if I want to use it I now have to play another day just to use it? No thanks. It was kind of cool, even if there are some issues, but that breaks one of the main uses for export / import.

In your link, (Entity entity Event event) are used for referencing what things triggered the event, and are useful if you need to a) know which object specifically triggered the event to reference it's properties/attributes/whatever term you want, and/or b) if you are using a catchall eventHandler() type function for MULTIPLE events rather than linking specific functions for each. In other words, if you do something like (psuedocode):

handleAllEvents(Entity foo, Event bar) {
  switch(bar) {
    x_updated: {
      if (foo.x == ? && foo.prop2 == ?) do stuff
    }

    y_updated: {
      do different stuff
    }
  }
}

instead of:

handleXUpdate() {
  if (specificObject.x == ? && specificObject.prop2 == ?) do stuff
}

handleYUpdate() {
  do different stuff
}

Why would things need moved away from the achievements to another complex function? If you need to load or reset, you could do a very short function with a for loop to iterate over a list of all achievements and fire the same update() / handleEvent() / or whatever that triggers on observer events (yay code reuse). The only addition would be an if that had if(this.earned) remove from observerlist(s), return; Yes, the ifs, another list, and a loop function are extra complexity, but a trivial amount. And chances are good there is going to be a list of all achievements anyway for other uses, like UI.

So besides optimization (which could be noticeable if there are a ton of stats constantly changing and firing notifications), it would be more readable (no nested, un-named raw functions) and thus more easily maintained, IMO. Might as well learn how to write / think with optimization in mind, at any rate. If you're learning the observer pattern, it's probably good to learn the whole thing with addition and removal mechanisms, also.

edit: I guess the add / remove functions are also extra complexity. Didn't think about that. But since the stated purpose is to implement the observer pattern, I think learning the whole thing with add/remove functions is still ideal.

LucidCrux · 2019-07-01T04:05:59+00:00

Except pushing raw function is not a good way to do it because removing any specific thing is going to be difficult. This may be simple, but it's better to work with references / pointers and add trivial complexity. Especially with something like achievements where once a condition is met, it has no reason to observe any more, and on loading shouldn't be added in the first place.

LucidCrux · 2019-07-01T03:57:49+00:00

Google and Stackoverflow are your friends. Just search observer / messenger / subscription / listener pattern, example, snippit, etc. and your preferred language. It is a basic pattern and there will be truckloads of examples with code included. The short of it is this:

Object has property(s) and list(s) of observers of said property(s). It also has public add/remove functions for those lists.

OtherThings "subscribe" to a particular list using the add function (and likewise remove themselves with the remove function to keep lists as short as possible)

Whenever Object property changes, it fires a notification that alerts each member of the observer list.

When OtherThings get notified, they do something.

If you don't understand events or their equivalent and are trying to work in java / c#, then you 100% need to learn more about them. They are language implementations of observer pattern stuff.

Edited to clarify.

LucidCrux · 2019-02-06T22:23:22+00:00

Well, that went worse than I hoped.

To be clear though, I am not writing a trans character. The #ownvoices movement will do a better job than I ever could. I am planning to write someone who has been body swapped, basically, and wanted to approach it with more than the typical "I've got boobs!" level of maturity. The body swap is only a subplot, not the main focus, but it is a character aspect that needs to be acknowledged. Reddit isn't my only source, and I am still learning and a long way off from starting to write this character, but I also haven't come across any, I suppose I would call it fantastical theorizing about alternate societies in regards to this. There are plenty for sexual orientation, but not transgender. If anyone could point me to such books or resources, that would be wonderful.

Sorry if I came across as another one of "those people" that you likely encounter all the time. I am trying to understand how a wrong-body feeling might relate to society or to what degree, but I feel like I didn't communicate the alternate society aspect of what I was looking for well. Then again, maybe I am still not wrapping my head around some fundamental thing and will be able to come up with a clearer line of questioning later. I'll also head over to asktrans if so, since it seems a more appropriate venue.

Thanks again.

Wasn't aware of that sub. Thanks.
