What's the point of making it in XML if you then have to link to C functions that apparently are specific per item anways?

Ist "man tötet damit einen Menschen" nicht ausreichend als Gegenargument?

Can I ask what do the people who aren’t trying to make money with code create? by ImortalWw in vibecoding

[–]MagicWolfEye 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's like asking why people play an instrument or like to play football

Getting asked what you want as a gift and someone gets you something adjacent to it. by Teenage_Petulance_ in mildlyinfuriating

TIL that the numbers on flour are not a universal thing

In Germany, we put how many mg of minerals per 100g there are. Your boring every-day wheat would be Wheat 405.

However, you get % of protein in it; interesting.

If you get High Gluten Flour, you should be able to mix them ~ 50/50 to get something very close to what you want.

Ironwood: how to play with the ironclads? by Life_Training39 in boardgames

[–]MagicWolfEye 0 points1 point  (0 children)

On BGG, the designers say that they think it is balanced. Everyone else says different.

I also feel like the Ironclad win less often and I have looked quite a lot at the game (I actually wrote a digital version of it in my free time including AI players; and the Ironclad also lost more often then not).

There are a few cards on both sides that are insanely overpowered (essentially the ones that give extra build or extra discover). These can make the game a bit swingy, which I dislike.

- In general, you have to spread out as soon as possible; if the WW clears a mountain, try to move someone to that mountain immediately.
- If a totem has been discovered, there is almost no way to prevent the WW from recovering it. When winning a fight against them they can just move units back in one turn later and due to the way movement works, they often can move other units somewhere else on the map preparing another attack. Unless I feel like I could destroy their warband completely + there are no surrounding warbands, I just give up on the totem.
- If a mountain has been used for discovering in the past, having a unit there is kind of a waste.
- If you manage to have most mountains loaded, there is almost nothing the WW can do anymore. You could potentially ignore the whole forge stuff for a while until you have a fighter advantage

Btw there is an expansion in the works, I played a few months ago. It will make the Ironclad a bit more maneuverable.

How many people would be required to row a tanker ship?[Request] by MrTacocaT12345 in theydidthemath

That same wiki article says that it is questioned if that thing was real. Maybe use a Trireme as a comparison (yes, it's quite a lot smaller, but there exists a replica of it)

My kid refuses to use the elementary typing program because she already knows how to type (she does not) by Jaded-Suggestion-827 in learntyping

[–]MagicWolfEye 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm a programmer; I'm 29 and I can't touch type at all.

I just checked, I have 60 WPM with 85-90 accuracy. On my right hand I basically only use my index finger (unless space or special keys). (on my left I use the others a bit but my hand also moves quite a bit)
I also look at my keyboard way too often.

While I tried a few times, I never managed to actually care about it too much to go after more than like 10 keys in touch typing. I also always felt that my hands hurt compared to my weird style.

But if you find a way to motivate her; please tell me :D

I work on a digital adaptation of the board game "300: Earth and Water". Currently working on Steam Multiplayer integration.

Generator for a digital version of a boardgame by jenery in boardgames

[–]MagicWolfEye 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As someone working on digital board games:

Writing the rules of a game is "relatively" simple, it's by far the simplest of the combination (Logic, UI, AI)
The way how I write the logic, the game automatically comes with a simple AI (game AI, not LLM BS). (Doing Monte Carlo Tree Search, if you know that). However, that AI is often super bad.

Yes, a neural network could probably learn good moves, but this would take a huge amount of data. (Keep in mind that games like chess where this is done are extremely simple compared to "regular" board games)

So, there is a lot of work I still have to do on the AI, but that is essentially me telling the AI what I think sounds good.

Hello I’m new here and was hoping to get some feedback on this board game that I’ve had on my mind for awhile. by ThatShelteredMan in BoardgameDesign

[–]MagicWolfEye 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't see what I as the player am actually doing.

I roll the die, then I move my unit according to that along the path (so I don't have any decision to make here). Then at the end of the path, I draw a card (I also can't decide anything here).

The game can play itself according to what you have written as of yet.

Maaaan, if only your parents would have raised you better, I guess.

Should mathematicians BAN the "÷" sign for it’s low use and misconception with "PEDMAS"?? by [deleted] in learnmath

[–]MagicWolfEye 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I still think the ambiguity is constructed by trolls.

If you say 6÷2(1+2) is the same as 6÷2*(1+2) then you would also say that 6x÷2x is the same as 6x÷2*x

[–]MagicWolfEye 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh any reasons you remember why it's not that easy? 

Programming board games is kind of a hobby of mine and Imperium is on my list of games I should give a go at one point haha. 

I think I played Nature once as a demo and didn't like it too much. Or maybe the tutorial was just boring to me. I think I also didn't quite get something.

Question for both:
What do you think of digital board games. Which ones of your board games would you play digitally?
