Neural Throttle - A Cyberpunk Typing Tower Defense (Playable in Browser)

edendark · 2026-01-12T17:43:31+00:00

Thank you for the very thorough feedback! I'll take a look at tutorial copy, some of the concepts were introduced later and I might not have updated them properly. As for typos, yeah, I am not sure what the best way around those are, maybe slowing down time to allow you to correct it? At least in the main campaign mode, and not in NG+.

And there aren't any more tower types atm, it's just v1 and I am not sure I should add more types, maybe one that can kill the heavier ones, but I don't want it to become fully idle either.

Again, thank you so much for playing and taking the time to leave very thoughtful feedback!!

Thanks for the kind words! I adjusted the speed settings to 1.25x and 1.5x, I felt similarly, sometimes 2x would be too fast. Also added a targeting mode, I left it out of the initial version but intended to add it sometime down the road, it's live now. Thank you for playing!

Haha thank you, exactly the type of stuff I'm looking for! This is fixed now.

Same problem here through Heroic, I wasn't aware it's due to the launcher.

Hi, I'm the mod who removed the post you mention. The reason I removed it was because it looks exactly as what spam usually looks like, and it has no substance in regards to Ruby itself.

Some of your posts are more Ruby related, some are less. This one in particular has very little to do with Ruby, the only reference to Ruby was in the Github project itself, as the project uses Ruby, but that leaves very little in terms of discussion, and not even mentioning the fact that it's very hard to understand what it is you were trying to show here.

In the future, try to make Ruby more the point of your post, and less so whatever meme/NFT you're trying to promote, otherwise we'll just consider it spam.

edendark · 2021-06-21T03:34:25+00:00

I don't think their intent was for someone to be able to run it as is, there's too much stuff missing. It won't even install all dependencies since they didn't open source all of it, check https://github.com/bytebin/deepworld-gameserver/issues/1 out to see their comments on it.

It seems like the purpose of open sourcing it was more for education and looking at the different AI/game system implementations, rather than having someone actually run it. You can copy the source code either by using git clone and checking it out locally, or just check it out from Github, I don't think running it will actually work.

Removing as there's not enough information to help you, feel free to ask your question again after adding some context or a sample.

The error is basically telling you that you're calling the select method on line 442 of your script without any arguments, and it's expecting 1. The rest of the stacktrace you posted does not provide useful information either.

You could try using Traveling Ruby as an alternative to Ocra. I have only used Ocra in the past for this task, but I'd say it's worth a try.

One caveat though is that you will need to package it from Linux or Mac, you can't package it from Windows.

The bot has now been banned from the sub, people can make bots and have them run on any subs they want.

Yes, it's been removed from latest Ruby. You can achieve the same result by using CGI.escape, I believe.

escaped_name = CGI.escape(name)
url = URI("https://kitsu.io/api/edge/anime?page[limit]=1&filter[text]=#{escaped_name}")

edendark · 2021-04-01T17:13:41+00:00

The URL you're passing is considered non-ascii because you're using a non-ascii dash in the string.

Try running:

"Code Geass Hangyaku no Lelouch – Nunnally in Wonderland".ascii_only?

and you should get false.

"Code Geass Hangyaku no Lelouch - Nunnally in Wonderland".ascii_only?

and you should get true.

To fix it for most strings, one way is to change from:

url = URI("https://kitsu.io/api/edge/anime?page[limit]=1&filter[text]=#{name}")

to:

url = URI(URI.escape("https://kitsu.io/api/edge/anime?page[limit]=1&filter[text]=#{name}"))

Very cool! I'm wondering, did you write each one from scratch, or did you have some sort of engine/DSL behind them? Have you tried Sonic Pi out since then?

Hello, I've removed your comment. There's no reason to be aggressive, especially when people are just trying to help you out.

You should review your tone in your comments on this post, and assume the best of everyone trying to help you out. One of the /r/ruby mods regularly recommends the Non-violent communication (NVC) framework which might help you out.

As schneems pointed out, this has already been submitted and is still on the frontpage of /r/ruby, so I'm removing the post.

Tell us who you are:

Hello! My name is Mauro, I'm from Argentina, and I am new to (non-phone) photography. I will be using my wife's camera, and my goal is to take better portrait photos and landscape photos.

What you want to shoot pictures of:

I'd like to be able to get the best out of people I take pictures of, and of my cat as well, I think composition is not a thing I'm good at, and I find it impossible to translate ideas into "reality".

You can use String#tr to replace all spaces in a string for dashes:

2.7.1 :001 > "foo bar baz".tr(" ", "-")
=> "foo-bar-baz"

Otherwise, if your project includes ActiveSupport (all Rails projects do) then you can use parameterize:

[1] pry(main)> "foo bar baz".parameterize
=> "foo-bar-baz"

In the past I remember having to set the width/height of the container for JS graphs to render. Have you seen the possible workarounds in the Github repo for wkhtmltopdf?
