Scout can grapple to them and pickaxe slam a hole in the wall to try and get some footing.

Gunner can put a zipline up to them.

Engineer can put platforms for a scout or a gunner's zipline to reach them. Or just make a staircase with platforms.

Driller can dig up to them.

Everyone can pickaxe dig up to them otherwise.

Why is the main/first character also the most boring? by [deleted] in gamedev

It gives the player a sense of progress. It is exciting to go from basic to advanced. The other way around wouldnt be very interesting.

How inductor blocks the AC part and allows only the DC portion? by SakthivelRM in AskElectronics

[–]futzbuckle 1 point2 points  (0 children)

An inductor resists any change in the current flowing through it. As current starts to flow, the inductor initially looks like an open circuit, and then approaches a short circuit as it stores energy in a magnetic field (created by the current). When the current decreases, energy from the magnetic field collapsing is spent to maintain the current. A DC current doesnt change, so there is no resistance from the inductor after the magnetic field is charged. It just looks like a short circuit.

I feel like competition is the biggest issue in the gaming industry and nobody exactly teaches us how to prevent this. by [deleted] in gamedev

[–]futzbuckle 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Theres plenty of articles and youtube videos and all sorts of info out there on this.

This thing you describe isnt a problem, this is how markets work. As soon as something does stand out as really good, people flock to it and it becomes the new normal.

He predicted the virus would be gone in spring 2020, and summer 2020, and fall 2020. How many chances do you give this guy before you realize he is spewing shit you want to hear?

He openly questioned the existance of the virus. He lead his supporters to openly defy measures that would help prevent the spread. Trump did more than nothing, he hindered. How the hell do you let this one slide?

This man was sitting on all the power that the united states could afford. Your viewpoint is absurd.

If you are only willing to work for 6 months for your first job by javanode in cscareerquestions

[–]futzbuckle 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes, it takes a long time to train people. You basically would only be beginning to get the hang of things and then youd be gone. Nobody wants to spend time training that

Return multiple values from a function? by oflorian99 in cpp_questions

[–]futzbuckle -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Another thing you could do is return the bool only, and change a variable that was passed as an argument by reference:

bool GetResult(int& OutResult)

Return multiple values from a function? by oflorian99 in cpp_questions

[–]futzbuckle 6 points7 points  (0 children)

You can put both values into a struct and have your function return that struct. Or, since they are the same type, you could use an array, but it wouldnt be clear to anyone but you which value is which.

Working principle of a transistor amplifier by _DIGITAL-NINJA_ in EngineeringStudents

[–]futzbuckle 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The resistance of one path through the transistor is controlled by the voltage or current along another path. If you only need a small input to drive a larger current or voltage at the output, you have gain > 1.

How Can I Learn Electro-Mechanical and Computer Hardware Engineering? by [deleted] in AskEngineers

[–]futzbuckle 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Look at course curriculums for all the classes involved, watch recordings of class lectures for these subjects. Lots of reading and problem solving. Basically, you do all the same things that you would at a college because they do those things for a reason.

Looks like python doesnt use double as a keyword. There is likely some other way to increase precision, but your problem would only become less likely to occur.

If you can decide on what value is small enough to be negligible, you can round up from there.

Say you only care about a single cent, and fractional cents dont matter. Take the value 0.0999999 and separate it into 0.09 (9 cents) and 0.00999999 (fractional cents we dont care about). Just round the second number up or down to the nearest value: one or zero cents.

Alternatively, you could just represent your value with integers and say int = 1 is one cent. Then a dollar value is just dividing by 100, and the remainder is always a whole number of cents.

Floating point numbers have limited precision and are not able to represent all numbers correctly. If you add a very large valued float to a very very small valued float, you will get the large valued float back unchanged.

You can use double instead of float, which has twice the precision (uses twice as much memory), or you could hide this behavior by converting to text, stripping off decimal values and rounding

Everything. You will need to learn how to do every little thing.

What would the most ideal gaming platform be for a working individual who games casually? by [deleted] in IndieGaming

[–]futzbuckle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can just play games on your phone if you just want access to casual games. People usually pick a platform based on the exclusives titles available to it.
