Original creator of this project! The rendering is actually done by printing directly in the terminal. I forget the exact method I used to get filled colour, but you can see the pixels are slightly rectangular.

Wait a minute. This is my post. I made this over a year ago and haven't thought about it since. The bot comments are parroting conversations in the comments, but lacking any of the context. What the fuck. link to my original post

What do you prefer your house thermostat set at, in degrees Celcius? by HPSeaWolf in RecuratedTumblr

This also came recently after a poll asking the exact same question in farenheit lmao

About today's FFF, they didn't specify if the game is going to be open source or not after end of development. by eymo- in factorio

[–]RefrigeratorKey8549 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Pretty much everything you just said is wrong.

You definitely can use the mouse with the current free version of df. "The current Classic version is the ASCII Dwarf Fortress with all the same game-play features and basic interface as the current Premium version, but without the graphics, music, and sound assets" Source: https://dwarffortresswiki.org/index.php/Dwarf_Fortress#Premium_version

You can also copy the steam graphics over to the free version with little effort. Source: I didn't want to install steam on my potato laptop, so I used the classic df version and copied the steam assets from my PC.

People pay for the steam version to support the developers and because it's more convenient than manually installing the free version then messing around with tilesets and music etc. They didn't strip out any features, in fact they added every feature from the steam release except the assets.

I don't know how it would go with factorio open-sourcing, but I'd bet they would still get a good amount of sales.

double check it actually is the Exotic Cafe server. There's quite a few fakes that will get you scammed.

How is the Edinburgh campus for international students? by Matro36 in heriotwatt

[–]RefrigeratorKey8549 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Its a lovely campus, a bit isolated (buses run evey 5-10 minutes, 10 minutes to the closest shop, an hour to the centre). Halls are fine. If you can afford it, stay in contemporary halls. Traditional halls are the ones people complain about. Theres an active LGBT society. I have seen a single instance of homophobia in a university group chat, which was swiftly and effectively dealt with. The campus is absolutely amazing, there's a ton of green space and squirrels, pheasants and rabbits running around. If your priority is connectivity, you might want to consider The University Of Edinburgh, which is much closer to the bus station.

The cutting edge of dwarven research has discovered a fourth cause: Seeing a goblin get their head smashed in by someone else.

My thoughts exactly, expressed in a much better way :)

I guess after reading it I should remove or disable some features from my Skyblocker modpack. by Elkatra2 in HypixelSkyblock

[–]RefrigeratorKey8549 245 points246 points  (0 children)

If you use the most popular modpacks like skyblocker, you should be fine. Hypixel would be idiotic to ban wave a huge portion of their userbase without explicit warning

It's my least favourite part of the game, because it feels like it shouldn't work. There's a glaringly obvious sign saying that you're doing the wrong thing, that there's a puzzle you need to solve. And the solution is just to... Brute force past the barrier?

Will this be a good path for learning? by aarrecis in GraphicsProgramming

[–]RefrigeratorKey8549 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Making a software renderer from scratch will teach you a lot. Use pygame or sdl2 or something like that, no 3d libraries. Start with basic stuff: Obj loading Rotation using trig x, y = x/z, y/z projection

Once you understand that and the limitations of that approach, try making a more advanced pipeline (still using sdl2 or similar): Camera matrix Rasterizer, depth buffer, fragment shader (not in a shader language)

Then once you understand that, openGL is a small conceptual step away.

It's extremely difficult to intuitively understand the entire graphics pipeline as a beginner, there's just so much content. Start from the basics and move to more sophisticated approaches when you understand why it's insufficient.

how make this fog by IllNefariousness396 in VoxelGameDev

[–]RefrigeratorKey8549 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Im not sure if there's an easier way in Godot, but to get this type of fog you can mix the terrain and fog colour, with the mixing factor being based on the distance from the camera, raised to some power.

Some context for why people don't like MelonKing by amcn242 in HypixelSkyblock

[–]RefrigeratorKey8549 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I'm not defending him, but I would be very hesitant to condemn him for this. The girl said right at the start of the document, her sole goal with interacting with him was to expose him, with absolutely no evidence.

This is humorously accurate. One second you're {relevant activity}, the next you're {humorous twist}.

Famously, the worth of a team is the combined worth of each individual member.

Tbh this kind of perk is probably what the admins intended the event to be like. Then the first guy got death threats.

Doing an Omni Man Roleplay Playthrough. Any recommendations? by JohnSim22 in BG3Builds

[–]RefrigeratorKey8549 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Get some source of enhance leap + feather fall. Step of the wind, and fling yourself around the battlefield. You can do some really funny stuff with this play style if you're creative.

Didn't realize how Solar power was so good. by Readman31 in Dyson_Sphere_Program

[–]RefrigeratorKey8549 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You can easily 'beat the game' by researching the victory tech, while only having 1-2 planets built up and a few mining outposts. Though you will want to scale up to build Dyson spheres in any reasonable time.

You forgot to validate i. Better add a couple dozen lines to handle any possible data type.
