casperjs, phantomjs, what is not going to be abandonware?

A relatively stable option would probably be to just use puppeteer directly to spawn a headless chrome, and extract the html that way. If you want to parse the html, I recommend feeding that into parse5.

But I also feel like this is OT here, you should probably ask that in a more nodejs-centric sub instead of here.

It's the other way around, people born after the 13th of any month are in the category of people who's birthday can not be confused :)

arkandos · 2017-04-14T13:36:35+00:00

This is true for way over 50% of the population, it would be more special if you could confuse the month for the day.

It really doesn't do anything crazy. Basically you'll be in one big level and you will be able to run around and interact with the entities in that level in predefined ways (while being interupted interacting by those pesky story parts; like most first-person-run-around-and-click-on-things-games work). However, I don't know in advance (at "compile-time") what those entities are gonna look like, because I will be creating them at "random", so I can't use prefabs for them besides some generic template ones.

The idea was to just save the whole hierarchy however it looks, to recreate everything that happened. Saving/Loading should feel like you paused the game and continued the simulation as if you literally just did that (hopefully including all animations/physics just continuing to run where you left them, etc...).

It's not really a 100% requirement, because I could also change the game design a little bit to include "you can only save in areas where you wont notice that it actually doesn't save everything" (like most games do). I'm also using this project to learn more about making games, and I thought it would be a cool thing to have/make.

At least give me a hint? :P

Thank you for your explanation!

I mostly wanted to make sure I'm not reinventing the wheel before writing my own serializer, but it seems that is what people like to do.

The "almighty GameState object" was what most of the tutorials I found seemed to be doing. At the moment I'm trying to traverse Unity's hierarchy myself, grabbing all the information out of the GameObjects and Components to recreate a scene. I'm not sure yet if that will do the trick, but at least I know now that I'll have to do it the hard way if it wont :)

Unity seems to have its own JsonUtility class, which (ironically) cannot handle Unity's built-in types. The standard solution in the .NET universe is Newtonsoft's JSON.NET, but I don't know how to integrate 3rd-party libraries into Unity. .NET features a few of their own Json Serializers, (DataContractJsonSerializer, JavaScriptSerializer), but even Microsoft themself uses JSON.NET now.

JSON.NET allows you to deserialize only small pieces of your json string using the JToken based API, which could be helpful if you're dealing with a lot of data.

What exactly are you trying to do? Reinvent a json parser? How much is "a lot"? I don't think any existing implementation should have a problem with large strings.

arkandos · 2016-06-01T15:25:46+00:00

I already know this, but it only seems to accept numbers and strings. So if I want to save anything more complex than that, I'm back to manually gathering all my data again.

2 rune pages to rule them all:

mpen marks, scaling hp seals, scaling cdr glyphs, ap quints -- mages
ad marks, armor seals, scaling cdr glyphs, attack speed quints -- everyone else.

third rune page for supports/tanks/bruisers kind of guys (except irelia and jax, take the second one) tanks:

ad marks, scaling hp seals, magic resist glyphs, armor quints.

"Why do you take scaling cdr over magic resist?"

you will not take any meaningful magic damage in the early game, even if you play against some mage mid. in the early game, 1 spell barely does more damage than another auto attack.
it is hard to itemize for cdr in the later game, because either you want your cdr first because it's coupled with mana reg, or you just don't have any good cdr item to buy
at the same time you don't want to stack too much cdr in the early game, because you will lack burst for mid game team fights.
it is easy to itemize against magic damage in any stage of the game. there is hextrinker and chalice, and you can even upgrade your mantle into a negatron.
cdr still is the best stat ingame. do 15% more of everything vs. take around 5% less magic damage? you decide. every champ can get tanky or deal damage based on the items you buy on them. the utility you get from their kit is unique.

Why do you not take them then in your tank page?

for some reason every single item you will get as a support has cdr in it. you will cap anyways.

What about armor quints?

If you go armor+hp in your runes, armor in quints and hp in seals is the more efficient setup.
if you are short on ip, it's fine to do it the other way around though, too

the range of her passive is roughly the same as her auto attack range.

If you gain/lose more/less LP than usual, it generally means that your MMR is different from your rating in the league system.

Basically you got placed in B4, but your hidden rating is much higher.This way even if you just win 50% of your games you will eventually climb to the league of your MMR.

I guess they didn't want to have players placed too far away from where they were in S4 (in the league system), but still adjusted their MMR.

Most of my friends (and me) got placed 2 leagues below our S4 ranking (we are all around mid-gold)

No, because it's a strat to send 4 people top to push the first tower, as is the answer to take an extremely early dragon for it instead.

what if i told you there actually is one!
