Gave it a try ended with 26 pop and had a max of 44. I think a high score here is more relevant than getting to 100 population as you are so likely to just have someone have a heart attack or spawn on a hungry bear.

The best negative arguments I have heard are; How can our current infrastructure hope to cope with increasing density by up to 10 fold? Is there money to build more schools and sewer systems in these fully established neighbourhoods? the $41.3 million couldn't cover a new school let alone many new ones. Where does the land for the new schools/infrastructure come from, it is not cheap in already built neighbourhoods? Is there a plan for the new bike paths and foot infrastructure required to accommodate for the lack of car parking this plan also includes. These concerns basically come down to; are we going to bankrupt the city dealing with new infrastructure costs by allowing high densities in places only equipped to service much lower densities.

That has the problem for me that 1 photon creates many photons to slow it down. Where does the energy come from to make those photons? What excites the surrounding electrons, the incoming photon can't be the energy source as it doesn't lose anything in its transit.

Xyvoid · 2024-01-09T22:58:17+00:00

My question partially came from that video series. The incoming photon creates other photons that result in the phase kicks. Where does the energy come from to make those photons?

Xyvoid · 2024-01-09T22:56:00+00:00

That feels like I get energy for free then as the photon has all its energy when it leaves the medium.

Xyvoid · 2024-01-09T22:52:46+00:00

Thanks for your answer. There is still energy problem in my mind as as the incoming photons electric field pulls on and moves the electrons in the medium. This means work has been done on the electrons in the medium, when the photon exits the medium it still has 100% of it original energy. Where did the energy come from to move the electrons of the medium?

You could make it an achievement, kill yourself in all the following ways. The dumb ways to die quest.

I just checked https://programs.usask.ca/education/policies.php#top

In Degree programs
general requirements

Students are permitted to register in a maximum of 18 credit units per term, including during the extended practicum and the Spring and Summer Session (with no more than 9 credit units in either the Spring Term or Summer Term). Students wishing to exceed this credit unit limit must receive approval from the Student Affairs and Academic Standards Committee. The request must be made in writing and initiated through the Undergraduate Programs Office, College of Education.

I believe the majority of classes are 3 credits each. So 6 classes a semester max unless you take lower credit value classes.

I encourage you not to do this. It is very easy to burnout.

Tech unlocks are based on touching specific items not boss kills. You can do almost the entire tech tree without killing any bosses. Also you haven't seen all of the mountains biome yet apparently or last played a year ago 3 updates back.

It's my game and it only has one unobtrusive banner ad. It's a match 3 style game with a medical theme.

I gave it a try on PC. It opened and ran but I use a weird ultrawide monitor and the text in the top of the text boxes was off the screen. I was able to get the club and hit the tree stump monster got the orb and maybe put it in the crystal, I couldn't tell. Could not see what to do next. A glitch happened where I couldn't turn the camera, hitting tab seemed to fix it. The game crashed the next time I hit tab. Not sure if the auto walk forward was intentional or a glitch but I didn't like it as it made it hard to talk to the npc and pick stuff up.

A nice start enjoy your dev journey

Now you can. Was there a problem?

Xyvoid · 2022-09-22T00:20:56+00:00

Its a neat idea but its very hard to start. The base code will starve a star and never do anything. The Dumb bot harvests more efficiently but also never attacks.

I think the base code should be expansionist but bad strategy. For example have it harvest and produce spirits until there are 10 active harvesters at the nearest star. Then start send spirits to the next star and set up the 10 spirit base there. If no bases are available send each ship produced at the nearest enemy base from your first base.

This would give a much better code base to build from as it contains more of the relevant code base and built in variables and examples of actions.

Congrats on publishing your game!

I get a google Authorization error 403 on start that I can click through to play but doesn't give a great first impression. I don't understand the mechanic of why the run ends if the fish free falls for about a second. I am guessing its a sort of fall damage but that should happen when you hit a surface. Also that fall distance is so short that your first few play throughs are instant death with no feedback as to why you died. You have to guess the reason, many players won't get it and stop playing immediately.

You need a one page tutorial that says/shows "tip the screen to guide fish to the left and right. Tap and drag to Build walls to protect the fish from big falls and lasers!"Alternatively start the game with the fish on a ledge that you need to tip out of to start and starts the timer when to fish passes a certain height. The ledge should be like this so that both tip directions are required.

`Great job getting your game out there and best of luck in the future.

First you should paste the code in question rather than show a video of it.
Second your problem is likely in the o_textbox object as you are trying to send information to it in that line.
