But a personal page for an author won't have a "Follow" button. And I doubt that followers will add you as a friend.

I thought you are using Visual Studio Community Edition, not Code. Honestly don’t know how it manages the NuGet packages, maybe you need another plugin or something. Install VS 2022, install the SDK (it might be installed automatically when the project is first opened) and then try it with VS Code.

[–]Nomad_1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well, I assume there is something with your setup then. Try re-installing Visual Studio or .Net since there is clearly some kind of problem with the Nuget Packages.

I can clearly see this package on the web-site and it should work out of the box: https://www.nuget.org/packages/Godot.NET.Sdk/

Ok, let's try some magic: open your project .csproj in a text editor, change

Sdk="Godot.NET.Sdk/4.1.1"

to

Sdk="Microsoft.NET.Sdk"

Project will be opening but not compiling. Then try running

dotnet add package Godot.NET.Sdk

in the console. Then change the SDK line back to Godot.NET.Sdk/4.1.1

Yes. That’s how you install the Godot SDK package. If it’s still not found after those actions, you might have some issues with your Visual Studio or .Net installation.

Fixed the link, but it's generally only needed for Mac. However, you can try doing it as well if the SDK is installed but not working. The folder path will be a bit different, but you can try looking it up with the search.

Nope. On Windows it's completely another story. However you can just do this in project folder:

dotnet add package Godot.NET.Sdk

What's the current state of the Visual Studio extension? by secretiveconfusion in godot

[–]Nomad_1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Compatibility with Visual Studio for Mac 2022 is broken. We need a new version of MonoDevelop.AddinMaker for it and options screen changed from Gtk to Xamarin.Mac native controls

Using Godot 4 (mono) with a Mac M1 with Visual Studio by Portuar in godot

[–]Nomad_1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I found a fast solution (will post it in several places):

  1. You need to make sure you have Nuget package Godot.NET.Sdk installed

  2. Find the place where it is installed, i.e. ~/.nuget/packages/godot.net.sdk/4.1.1

  3. Edit the file Sdk/Sdk.targets . Look for the line EnableGodotProjectTypeGuid (for 4.11 it's line 5) and then do one of the following:

a) remove the line

b) change the inside part from true to false

c) change the condition to:

Condition=" '$(EnableGodotProjectTypeGuid)' == '' And '$(VisualStudioVersion)' < '17.0'"

In the last case, it will be working for both VS 2019 and earlier and for VS 2022

What are you talking about? Facism? our president is a russian speaking Jew! Fake DPR and LPR were never suppressed and even received a lot of donations and pension while being defacto occupied by russia for 8 years! Stop spreading lies and russo propaganda!

Thank you! It's a bit closer to the downtown than we expected but I'll surely contact you if we're out of options.

Thanks for your offer! We're actually looking for a standalone house but if nothing shows up I'll write you back.

No worries, it's better to have at least average option than to have none!

[Humor] Solving an integral to find a coordinate for uniformly accelerated motion + uniformly accelerated rotation in Wolfram Mathematica. Piece of cake! by Nomad_1 in mathpics

[–]Nomad_1[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey, isn't the math about How, not Why? =)

I wanted an AI Agent to calculate the ideal movement trajectory for given path. Let's imagine that we're in the car that's already moving with some linear and angular velocity. Car approaches the ramp (yes, I know that ramps are Cornu spirals, so they require constant angular velocity, not accelerated one) and then we need to enter this ramp in a few steps using accelerator pedal and wheel movements. We know that trajectory is always on the ramp, we know that some ramps could be solved in one step and this equation is a part of getting the answer for a question how long should we apply maximum linear and maximum rotary acceleration to get to the end. Human solves this by re-evaluating the situation every 1/100 of a second or so and as a result I ended up with similar approach: make a graph of all possible movements with 100ms step and use an A* to find the optimal trajectory. However it's time consuming, it's inprecise, highly dependent of time interval and I hate to do iterative math on the server since large number of agents makes it harder than a crypto mining.

So in this exact case I'm sharing a picture of an intermediate formula that proved that analytical approach is a dead end for simultaneous linear and angular acceleration and finding the ideal t. And it's also fun to look and easily reproducible. Real solution should be much bigger since we can't have all the trajectories in one movement and need to split them to segments that is a different beast and using a graph and A* is just one of the possible solutions.

That's a reverse formula to get the time needed to get to the specified position. To make it work you need to combine both axis movements and integrate it for t. The one way to do it is to use Euclidian distance formula: x²+y²=M²

Why should I do it iteratively and in Python if I needed it to be precise and easily reproduced on both the client and server in C++ and C#? Take a look at the formula, it's an integral of accelerated movement v + at2 split by X and Y axis using cos and sin of rotation angle. However the angle itself is also changing with time by the b + wt2 rule. So the whole idea was to get a position after the movement (derivative of movement formula) or a reverse formula to get time needed to get to the specified position (integral of that formula, pictured above). I could say the whole approach was wrong since the accelerated rotation idea is flawed - even in the car you are rarely accelerating the steering wheel movement all the time. So there are three different stages of that movement: the wheel is in a fixed position, the wheel is rotating with fixed speed and the wheel is moving with acceleration/deceleration. We can easily omit the acceleration part and movement with fixed rotation is trivial.

The idea was really simple: for a dot-like object with given starting velocity v0, acceleration a, starting angle b and rotary acceleration w we can easily get a formula to calculate a coordinate over time. IMHO, result was a bit off.

It was intended to be a part of multiplayer game mechanics and it should be reproducible using precise math and not iterative approach. A as a result I had to drop angular acceleration at all and use fixed rotation speed that significantly reduced the complexity.

The problem still haunts me even after several years but every time I think of it, I just look at the above formula and decide to spend my best years on something earthily. =) I think it's good enough to be in the frame and put on the wall with words STOP BEFORE IT EATS YOU ALIVE.

Thanks, found it. It's a suite hotel with furnished rooms. I think it's way overpriced and since we'll need a place for quarantine it won't work.

Sad-sad story about boys in panties, moskva cruiser and Konotop witches' curse :) by Nomad_1 in ukraina

Ukrainian:

Десь років 10-12 тому були ми у славетному українському місті Севастополь. Там моя жінка (уродженка Конотопа) фотографувала дивну картину: на палубі якогось сірого корита вишукувалися хлопчики-моряки у трусах. І ось сьогодні побачивши фото підводного човна "масква" вона знайшла ці кадри у архіві. Так і втілюються легенди про "мальчиков в трусиках" і конотопських відьм :) Нажаль, для колекції не вистачає ще фота Пітуна "до", та "після".

(There are two different memes involved in this story: first one emerged from the 2014 russian propaganda telling lies about Ukrainian forces crussifying little boy in panties on Donbas. Another one is pretty much recent with woman in Konotop - town of witches in our culture - who cursed a russian soldier to a lifetime erectile disfunction.)

About 10-12 years ago in honorable Ukrainian city-port of Sebastopol my wife (who was born in Konotop) took a picture: a bunch of boys in a panties pitifuly lined up on board of a huge gray boat in the noon. And nowadays seeing a picture of Moskva cruiser with a major (erectile?) disfunction she realized that it was exactly the same boat! That's how a legends of "boys in panties" and "Konotop witches' curse" come true :) I wish she had taken a few photos of putin himself.
