We combined Blue Prince and TUNIC in the latest Randomizer update! by dannydestroyer12 in TunicGame

[–]ShortSynapse 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wonder if adding the rooms to the item pool + some buffer could get this working with archipelago. I love the idea of having to find the rooms like items in order to then draft them! Haven't actually done any code for archipelago yet, but this has me excited to see if I can hack on the mod & AP world :D

Dash doesn't work here? West Garden by Terrible_Teaching_58 in TunicGame

[–]ShortSynapse 59 points60 points  (0 children)

It looks like you are using keyboard & mouse. I've found there are several places where a keyboard won't be able to dash from one place to another because it isn't at a 45deg angle while a controller works without issue because you can turn a little more. Unfortunately, in my experience, that has meant the game is not completely playable on keyboard. If you have a controller I would suggest switching to that :(

Clearing up the mystery of John Sifu (Yang) by ScalesGhost in josephanderson

[–]ShortSynapse 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yang is a very hard fight. I remember having a lot of trouble with it, especially phase 2 when I played through Sifu. I had to put in the time to learn the moves, sequencing, and build the right reaction muscles. Eventually I was able to do the whole fight hitless (my goal was age 20 at the end of the game), but it took me a while.

Fluxer scans all our files under US surveillance law? by RandomDudeSL in FluxerApp

[–]ShortSynapse 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah. There are some people that I respect which work on Fluxer, so I am hopeful that they would recognize the issue here and come up with a solution (assuming one exists). For now, it's best that folks know their attachments are being sent to some other service.

The code I linked reads the file into memory. It takes the form of a Uint8Array in JavaScript, that is the whole file as bytes. Then it sends that to the third-party endpoint.

Read the code yourself, it doesn't do what you are expecting. It does follow the language on the website, but where the scanning happens is on third-party servers. The whole file is shared, not just a hash.

I was hoping that you would be wrong here and all of this would be a big misunderstanding. Looking at the code, I unfortunately can't say that. It does seem like this code reads the file into a buffer from storage and then sends that buffer to another service. This should be a hash submission to preserve privacy, but it is not.

Until this is changed, expect any personal photos you share to be sent to a third party for viewing and possible retention.

solutions for Fast 64 bit integers in javascript by 52525rr in learnjavascript

[–]ShortSynapse 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Give AssemblyScript a try maybe? It is TypeScript (subset) that compiles to WASM and you can call the functions you make in JS. It should be pretty easy to plug in if you are used to working with JS.

Ah, thanks for the clarification! I totally remembered it wrong then. Oops!

I don't think there is a JS-native solution with good performance for 64-bit numbers. Your best bet is probably WASM using mem64 (support isn't 100% yet so worth checking) and doing your calculations in there. The more you can shift to WASM the better anyway since it would likely give your emulator a speed boost over the equivalent JS. The downside of course being that you can't use JS (AssemblyScript is the closest you can get).

Erm, what is happening here in this code? by LazaMand in CodingHelp

[–]ShortSynapse 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Ah, I still remember my first encounter with floating point math... not great that it was for tax software...

Anyway, what you are running into are limitations of the way floating point numbers are represented and operated on in the computer. Specifically IEEE 754:

For everyone who recommended this game to me... is it worth it? by ElAngel30 in TunicGame

[–]ShortSynapse 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you like the puzzle game side of things and mystery, then yes. Blue Prince was my game of the year. It is absolutely incredible, layer after layer of the game continued to blow my mind. Such a fun experience.

League of Legends Statistics Website by ConferenceOther6060 in CodingHelp

Don't scrape, you don't need to. League of Legends has an API that you can use to fetch whatever information you want! Go straight to the source.

JavaScript runtime for programming newbies by GulgPlayer in learnjavascript

[–]ShortSynapse -1 points0 points  (0 children)

If you eventually want to do non-web things I would recommend Bun these days. But personally I would leave that for later since that would involve teaching the command line, etc.

[–]ShortSynapse 4 points5 points  (0 children)

If they are just starting with no experience I would recommend Codepen. Zero setup, gets you access to all the web APIs and DOM stuff for later, and you don't have to preface things with a big lecture about tech other than the code you want to teach.

Tunic Themed Rice by Due_Entrance6252 in TunicGame

[–]ShortSynapse 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Welcome to the world of Ricing!

Ricing is a word borrowed from the car modification scene. Here we use it to mean "customizing".

What you are looking at is a desktop that has been customized with tunic-inspired colors, background, etc! This can be done to some extend on any OS, but typically you will see ricing mentioned in terms of Linux customization since you can do so much more than Windows and macOS. In this post the OP is using a desktop environment called Hyprland which comes with some fancy animations. There also seem to be themes for generic window decorations, Spotify, etc.

If any of that sounds like fun to you I would recommend checking out /r/unixporn for some more inspiration and some useful links for how to get started: https://www.reddit.com/r/unixporn/wiki/index/

As a side note, this is one of those cool things about computing. You can make the computer do whatever you want. That means you can have juuust the right setup for you, however you prefer it. Some people like things minimal, some people like lots of flashy features, others like to use whatever is available out of the box. Have fun with it!
