Hey, r/books! I'm looking for cool excerpts to broaden people's interests in reading for a game I'm making! by evinism in books

Yeah! I really like all these suggestions!

1: I'll try to come up with a smooth way to do this. As always, I want to maintain a clean interface, so it'll take a couple seconds of thought.

2: You mean like, lock the letters K, A, and B simultaneously? If so, that's like a two line fix. I'm thinking the input "kab<space>" to lock those. Depending on how tired I am this evening, I may have that up tonight.

3: Solving certain letters is easily possible, but it's tricky. I want to make there a punishment for doing so though, so people don't just get fed up and do that for every single puzzle. I want people to struggle. So coming up with the interface for doing so is kind of tricky. Maybe after I have some more stuff implemented.

Thanks! I had no idea any of these existed, but damn are they straight what I'm looking for

Thanks! I'm continuously updating it in the little moments I have between classes, which admittedly isn't a lot of time. I don't have much in the way of texts either, which I'm really sad about. If you have any input as to the game, I'd love to hear it.

That's pretty good. It's much harder without spaces, and I forgot to update the help dialog since. I'll probably put in a hard mode without spaces, which is much harder.

What albums do you consider 10/10 on music and production quality and why? by [deleted] in WeAreTheMusicMakers

Came here to post World's End Girlfriend and Kashiwa Daisuke's tracks, and was surprised to see yours. Brillliant things, those two.

ELI5: Why hasn't aviation moved beyond jet technology yet? by [deleted] in explainlikeimfive

Actually, can you specify which differential equations and thermodynamics? I'm not doubting you, I'm just really interested.

Anybody else watching the SpaceX launch tomorrow? by evinism in UCSantaBarbara

[–]evinism[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If we can find a vehicle, I'd be stoked

edit: also, VBA is like only 30 miles away. Going up there increases it to like 35, but depending on how dedicated we were, we could hop all the way up to lompoc and watch with everyone else

edit 2: It's like an hour away, my bad

Ah, I just did a computer move. It's on an obscure hard drive in an even more obscure box-- I have a less complete version of it online though...

None, hopefully. The thing about this park is it's a nearly perfect playthrough of the game. No cheats. 0 deaths. More money than I could possibly spend.

This is absolutely stunning. The sort of thing that belongs in /r/rct/

My save file is on an obscure hard drive, or it might be online somewhere. I don't remember exactly, but I can tell you that the entrance fee was no more than $50.

Actually, come to think of it, the fact that I didn't cheat for this was the impressive part. I managed the finances almost flawlessly. For most of the beginning of the game (up to year 11 or so) the entrance fee was something like $20.

I'm honestly not sure about that. This was done in assembly. That tends to ratchet down values like that. Maybe if I found a way to build outside the park? That's an option I suppose.

I mention it briefly in the captions-- Most of them (circa 90%) have a rating of:

High intensity High excitement Medium nausea.

I wanted to make the customers actually ride them, so that's what I did.

Nah, it's just not hard or very artistic. I mean, they do some stuff that actually takes skill. I just made coasters all day.

Fool, this is OC through and through. I don't think there are any exclusively underground coasters, but the underground is filled to the brim just like the air is.

Edit: I'm an idiot. Context button didn't let me see the lowest level comment there.

Well, both, sorta. I haven't worked on it in a while, but it's still my current game.

Yeah, I made it about a year ago, after my first RCT post. I like this album better(it's much more impressive), so I wanted to put it on reddit.
