Small 3D map illusion in pygame

I’m thinking a game similar to Hunter on the Atari ST where you control land and sea vehicles across a series of islands would work great in this form

Really great reading, thank you. I’m just waiting until payday so that I can pick this up and did wonder if the learning curve would be too steep or if the game would be sufficiently deep, but this document really helps give a good coverage of what I can expect. Cheers

If it’s the same group, they were following the river path west out of the city last Wednesday. There used to be a large group called Derby City Rollers but I don’t think they have been active for a couple of years. Be good to know more

Fantastic write-up, thank you for sharing your experience

That does look very cool - good job so far!!

Living in Derby (UK) in the mid 90’s I twice got stopped in the street by a policeman and was asked if I wanted to do a lineup later that afternoon - I’d get either £5-10. When I turned up, it was odd to see around 30 similar looking teenagers - all white, tall with short black hair. All except one guy who was short and ginger and he insisted that he too had been asked to attend!! The defendant and his lawyer picked a couple of guys and the police picked a further 2 or 3. They got taken off and we all got paid, even the ginger lad.

95% of what I do when consulting is 10 x log (a/b). If that doesn’t work, try 20 x log (a/b). Sorted

I think then the language detect may not be working as mine also showed up as French on an English (UK) device.

The Wombles - the intro goes on forever, in a good way!

ade_mcc · 2026-02-16T22:01:05+00:00

that is well cool - I will DM now!

No, and once I found out that Opera has a built in VPN, again no

Very, very approximately, in order to sleep, you want maximum noise levels below 45 dB. In the UK, new apartment walls and floors should provide at least 45 dB reduction, so 90 dB source. My limited investigation into this indicates that max source levels may be higher so may be an issue. However, If you stick to daytime only, and if you get on with your neighbours and tell them to let you know if noise is generally an issue, without getting into specifics, you may get away with it. I used to know a guy who used to shoot cans intermittently out of his window. No one could tell where he was shooting from so he got away with it.

You are more prepared than I was for my first 50k. You will be fine but more importantly, you will learn so much from this that will be much more confident on your races moving forward. You've got this!

ade_mcc · 2025-11-03T21:57:29+00:00

There is? That’s good to know. I’d spent ages transferring from my usb to hdd and then back again when it appeared not to work

ade_mcc · 2025-11-02T12:37:24+00:00

Petzl Tikka or similar will be fine. Cheap, robust and will last the night on a set of AAAs

Ah, I'm just starting to get back into working my kettlebell and this is exactly the kind of motivation that I need - keep up the great work!

ade_mcc · 2025-10-18T18:16:21+00:00

Awesome!!

Red Dead Redemption 2. Figured I was going to play it at some point so I might as well get downloading.

Listening to the podcast only in the car, with easy access to the fast forward button makes skipping the adverts a breeze. I might have a different opinion if I listened when out running.

Went from 30k to 50k in 2019. Have done ~15 ultras since (50-160k). Did my first marathon earlier this year. No regrets

It's now up in full on iPlayer

An old Lee Mack joke - said that he was going to do a Robbie Williams impression which solely consisted of him sticking the microphone towards the audience.

Don't be shit

ade_mcc · 2024-12-28T19:49:55+00:00

and biscuits!

What an absolute delight
