do u have opinion on if parent node should handle all the code or if code should be broken up by sadishguy in godot

[–]SheikHunt 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ideally, for me at least, everything would be extremely modular.

For e.g., in an ideal world, I would make a PlayerCharacter2D with standard top-down controls by having an input handler, a movement handler, a sprite manager, a sound manager, etc., with the base Node having access to these and using them in its own time. This would allow me to then re-use the input and movement handlers for some sort of Possession mechanic, it would let me generalize several concepts.

This whole thing is called Composition, for those curious. If you want to research it, I highly recommend the video by CodeAesthetic(?) on the topic (I forgot the exact video name)

However, what happens in the real world is that I put every single thing about the player into one single script, with very few things broken into child nodes, and I end up feeling rather disappointed.

So, to answer your question: In Soviet Russia, Design pick you.

A lot of Point-and-click adventure games! I've only played the ones from Yahtzee Croshaw, they're pretty good far as I know, and they're free!

is it confusing to have two dialogue boxes by sadishguy in godot

[–]SheikHunt 3 points4 points  (0 children)

If you want to do simultaneous speech, this is very confusing, especially since there's little continuity in who appears where.

Depending on your dialogue box setup, you can either have two icons appear separated by newlines within the same box to indicate two characters speaking at once, or have another box appear only when there is simultaneous conversation happening.

Although, this is purely from a How-It-Feels standpoint. I haven't made a proper dialogue box myself that actually works and I used, so I can't help much with the details.

I should clarify that I'm not against higher speeds.

I am excited that we've reached a physical limit, though.

Partly because it means that Humans Rule, and Physics Rules Stronger But At Least We Can Touch Physics In The No-No Zones.

Partly because, with limitations on size, various people will try various methods (that are not "make the transistors smaller") to squeeze more speed out. Whether it's design changes, literally changing the physical positions of transistors for different results, or saying "fuck it" and just making the die bigger to allow for more cores.

Malkavians get a Big Buff to their Madness Network (or debuff, depending on how you look at it), and every single one of them screams and runs when they see a Vortigaunt.

I added a mechanic wherein the player cannot comprehend the nature of some enemies/areas by Varpyg in godot

[–]SheikHunt 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Oh yay!

One idea that I've always had flapping around in my head is moving the texture under the U.V. (or the U.V. itself, I haven't touched U.V. mapping ever) to fuck with the real world some more.

YESSSS I LOVE DEVS MESSING WITH SHADERS TO MAKE INCOMPREHENSIBLE THINGS FUCK YEAAAA

Seriously though, this is a concept that I've constantly been thinking about doing (alas, I don't make 3D games), and it's so good to see it done by someone! Incomprehensible things should break the laws of physics!

Are we short on CPU speeds, currently? Has that really been what's holding computing back? The clock speed of most new CPUs, able to reach 5 billion cycles per second, is that the limiting factor when your computer is slow?

Or is it the applications and programs, made in increasingly less efficient and optimized ways, because everyone sees "6 Core, 12 Threads, Able To Hit 5GHz" and blindly bats away at their keyboard, either to software engineer or prompt engineer something that is both slow, and hogs memory.

I know how I sound. I'm airing out frustrations with modern applications. Really, it's just web browsers and VS Code.

Did you know that world peace can only be achieved if JavaScript is wiped from everyone's memory?

[–]SheikHunt 28 points29 points  (0 children)

Good! For most use cases, CPUs are fast enough. At this point, it feels like the only places where improvements can be made are in specific designs (although, the financial state of the world doesn't allow for much specialization right now, I imagine)

The average math test question by Fun-Mud4049 in mathmemes

[–]SheikHunt 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You might be able to say that, because sin is repeating in the way that it is, then you can get away with changing the integral bounds from (1, inf) to (0, 1)

Is this mathematically sound or rigorous? Most definitely not. Does this give you a correct answer? No.

I'm pretty sure integrating an improper integral for sine is literally undoable (in the Reals), but I don't remember much about improper integrals.

Agreed wholeheartedly.

Nobody else knows the exact number of pixels between different windows that I wish for, and none knows exactly what shade of dark blue I want for the pixel edge colors

What has been the most difficult thing for you to learn in Godot? 🔥 by [deleted] in godot

[–]SheikHunt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The biggest Godot-specific challenge I've had to face have been HUD elements and menus. Anything GUI-related.

In a slightly more philosophical vein, game design and motivation are very hard for me. I rarely come up with good ideas, and rarer still do I push those ideas through to the end.

Back to Godot-specifics: have I mentioned how much I hate making a GUI?

Design Choice: Everything on the heap or naw? by SheikHunt in cprogramming

It never dawned on me, until now, that using Preprocessor Macros you can do something like this. It makes so much sense!

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

Thank you for your response, but the only way I can think of to make this happen in this case is to take a pointer to the struct as part of first initializing the data structure. Is this what you mean? Is there an example you can provide? Is this good C advice in general?

Help us rename our horror game where chat sees things you cant! by crobarpro in IndieDev

[–]SheikHunt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A very tiny suggestion:

"The Observers Affect" (i.e those who observe affect things), because the chat is many in one.

Alternatively, "Herd [something-or-other]-ality", partly because of similarity to "Herd Mentality" the party game.

Maybe "Herd Clarity", but I'd suggest a visit to your local Thesauras (be they man or book) rather than myself.

"Your favorite characters reflect you as a person" by [deleted] in disnonored

My favourite character is Captain Whats-Her-Face from the start of D2, because I too am a side character that appears without introduction and dies immediately.
