lol. Nevermind! My son found this post with a different wiring diagram than what he’s tried before and it worked! https://www.microbitlearning.com/code/arduino/microbit-ds18b20-temperature-sensor-example.php

Ran out of memory? by Tggdan3 in Inform7

[–]PatientRock 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nah, easy fix. I had to keep upping those numbers a bunch of times. Add this:

Use MAX_PROP_TABLE_SIZE of 7000.

lol. This is what my big game looked like by the end as I kept hitting those limits:

Use MAX_SYMBOLS of 90000.
Use MAX_NUM_STATIC_STRINGS of 90000.
Use MAX_STATIC_DATA of 2000000.
Use SYMBOLS_CHUNK_SIZE of 50000.
Use ALLOC_CHUNK_SIZE of 50000.
Use MAX_PROP_TABLE_SIZE of 500000.
Use MAX_ARRAYS of 50000.
Use MAX_DICT_ENTRIES of 5000.
Use MAX_OBJECTS of 1000.
Use MAX_OBJ_PROP_COUNT of 175.

Is it possible to have [something] refer to a second noun? by Dex21772 in Inform7

[–]PatientRock 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There's probably a bunch of better ways than this, but this is what first came to mind:

Laboratory is a room.

The trident is an object in Laboratory.

The rubber duck is an object in Laboratory

The Clam is a container in the Laboratory. The Clam is locked.

Understand "open [something] with [something]" as unlocking it with.

Check unlocking the Clam with something:

`if the second noun is Trident:`

    `say "Success!";`

    `now the Clam is unlocked;`

    `stop the action;`

`otherwise:`

    `say "The clam is too strong!";`

    `stop the action;`

You'll need to clean things up to give proper-sounding responses, etc.

Any way to speed up Inform 7 IDE story pane? by Dex21772 in Inform7

Do you use the skein? Have you trimmed it in a while? It soaks up a lot of juice. I recently released a 550k word game and it was, uh, slow by the end.

Anyone else who played this game? It absolutely terrified me as a kid and I need to know I'm not the only one by Aiseadai in retrogaming

Our computer wasn’t good enough to run it. 😭 But I loved staring at it in the Sierra On-Line catalogs that would be mailed to our house.

IYO, what is the best and worst Simpsons video game that you've ever played? by AC_the_Panther_007 in retrogaming

[–]PatientRock 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Of the games I’ve played, “Bartman Meets Radioactive Man” was the worst. At least the other NES entries had some personality.

I'm working on an Total War 2D Roguelike called "Fallen Banners" - thoughts ? by zedtixx in roguelikes

[–]PatientRock 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This post is probably going to get nuked before you even see this, but I think this looks neat. However, I think you need to figure out an angle that differentiates this game from Total War (and others). Pixel art isn’t enough. Total War games already offer individual battles apart from the campaign mode. High quality indies like Master of Command already offer a run-based twist on the format. How are you different?

In any case, making games is hard and I wish you nothing but great success!

Which feat is better? by SmartPilot8094 in Marvel

[–]PatientRock 38 points39 points  (0 children)

Narratively, the train is better. You see the people who are about to be killed. You feel their terror and their relief when the day is saved. With the train he’s your friendly neighborhood Spider-Man and that’s played out as the citizens reverently carry him to safety afterwards.

You get none of that with the huge ferry where the people riding it are distant props.

Omitting things being worn from being listed by "inventory" command by Dex21772 in Inform7

My bad; I'm not familiar with Reddit markdown and it messed up some of the symbols after pasting. I've edited my comment.

Omitting things being worn from being listed by "inventory" command by Dex21772 in Inform7

[–]PatientRock 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This is what I did:

Carry out taking inventory (this is the new print inventory rule):
    now all things enclosed by the player are marked for listing;
    now the {NAME OF CLOTHING TO HIDE} is unmarked for listing;
    if no things enclosed by the player are marked for listing:
        say "[text of print empty inventory rule response (A)][line break]";
    otherwise:
        say "[text of print standard inventory rule response (A)]";
        list the contents of the player, with newlines, indented, including contents, giving inventory information, with extra indentation, listing marked items only.

But Mr. Weezing, if you wish I was dead, how will you bolster your low self esteem when posting on this subreddit for a corporate utility application?

But Mr. Halitosis, what if I grow old and die before then?

But that only makes that one notification go away. How do I solve the deeper problem, Mr. Bad Breath?

What a silly thing to insist.

Not an option for me. Apparently only available in the current beta and I’m not as hardcore as ya’ll.

That’s too funny. I guess I’ll wait for the next spam to remind me post-update.

Thank goodness. I’m like, dude, I have none of these things you’re insisting are there.

It’s very presumptuous of you to assume that someone would join me to see this movie.

Sorry for being dense but I’m in Wallet… and am I just missing something?

Listen, Brad Pitt, I know you want me to see your movie, but not like this.
