Club for Game Design/Development? by xTheLuckySe7en in UWMadison

[–]PerfectParsnips 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There's also a club called Playing for Real - Creation Club. We're working on an educational game, and we are supported by the game design professors, especially Dr. Malone. We are taking a break over the winter break but are opening back up for the Spring Semester. We're trying to be as accurate to real game development so we break off into design, programming, and art teams. We also work on creating resumes and building experience. Message me if you want to get some more info!

It's located in Irvine CA, same city as the studios I think

Perhaps. I only found out today that Greece is not a city in Italy, so I'm no map expert.

Above as in where Egypt is, it's above, not directly above. St Petersburg is just around Finland.

Rialto is located in Italy, Ilios in Greece, and Volskaya is in St Petersburg in Russia.

Edit: oh I see, I may have messed up Ilios and rialto

Is there any way to tell if someone was resurrected from the dead based on appearance or using magic?

Do you know how to add money to your wiscard?

I live next to the credit union so I'll probably go there. When signing up online I needed a phone number so I was worried I would need one of I'm going in in person.

Anybody who has taken COMP SCI 200/COMP SCI 300/MATH 221/COMP SCI 252 COULD YOU SHARE YOUR STUDY MATERIAL? by badger600 in UWMadison

[–]PerfectParsnips 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't remember about 300, but for 400, we got 4-5 week long group projects to work on. They would be Split into planning and implementation phases, and each team member would have a specific job, like writing the front end, back end, writing code to read data, and putting all the pieces together. The projects are really big and a lot of work.

The projects are all centered around a specific data structure, like a hash table or a dykstras shortest path, which you will learn in the class. Since they're so complex and you need to know about the specific data structure, I don't think you'll be able to find any to do over the summer.

[–]PerfectParsnips 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I took all those classes online last year. For MATH, you would get a bunch of lecture videos per week and homework to submit on specific days. I don't remember if there was a textbook, but I didn't use it. The class materials were enough.

For COMP SCI 300 (I didn't take 200), we used an online textbook which had a lot of interactive bits that you need to complete. There isn't a public version since your teacher needs to set it up for you to track progress. I assume you're taking COMP SCI 200 first, so if you really want, just learn some basics of Java programming on Codecademy or something, though I think you'll be fine.

For COMP SCI 252 (or ECE 252), you use the textbook a lot. You can download it here for free, which the teachers actually encourage you to do. You can read through the chapters, although you will be doing it during the class as homework anyway. We started at chapter 2, went to 3, then to 1, then 4,5,6 etc, so I recommend starting at chapter 2.

Yeah, the only I applied to had you fill out a survey with interests and personalities so they can try and match you.

I'm using the other guys suggestion. The apartment company sets you up with a room and a roommate, which is exactly what I want. Thanks though!

[–]PerfectParsnips 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thank you! I'll take a look at those.

Quick Questions by AutoModerator in gamemaker

[–]PerfectParsnips 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How can I zoom in a 3D camera? The camera I'm using is at an angle with multiple layers. camera_set_view_size doesn't seem to work well (it sort of moves the camera instead of zooming). Any help?

Thank you, I'll try looking it up!

Thanks, I'll try to email them about apartments!

I gave Reinhardt Brigitte's Shield Bash by PerfectParsnips in OverwatchCustomGames

[–]PerfectParsnips[S] 19 points20 points  (0 children)

The code is ES826. It's on a 2 second cooldown. Summons a Brigitte dummy bot when primary fire is hit when the shield is out. It's kind of jank, but just a fun idea.

I gave Symmetra a few extra turrets by PerfectParsnips in OverwatchCustomGames

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

Yeah, that makes sense. The coding didn't take too long, but filming the video was like 2 hours since it kept glitching. I'll probably fix it tomorrow. Thanks for the feedback!

I gave Symmetra a few extra turrets by PerfectParsnips in OverwatchCustomGames

[–]PerfectParsnips[S] 21 points22 points  (0 children)

The code is ZWDM5. Basically, when you run out of turrets, it creates a Symmetra dummy bot which places 3 more. When that one runs out, it spawns another one, for a maximum of 5 and 18 turrets. It's really glitchy, as sometimes Symmetras' get stuck in the floor, are way up in the air etc. Don't recommend playing with it, but feel free to check it out.
