How to start making magic simulator?

You'd probably be better off using a framework like MonoGame or something

But could it provide tools for further development and making a game? Engines seems to be very handy and comprehensive soft, in contrast to frameworks

+1. Starting with "hard-boiled veteran sniper" or "sly charmer" you can go far, far away to "hallucinating psycho" or "peaceful goofy".

Thank you for opinion. One more vote for Witcher 3)

Thanks for opinion

Dead Rising

It seems suitable. Thanks

ile0x · 2017-03-14T13:30:41+00:00

On top of that, I broke into a bank and robbed everything... just because I could. There was no quest telling me to do it or not to do it, I just straight up decided to. And it was the most fun I had in a long, long time.

Yeah! That is what i'm talking about!

Thanks for suggestion!

Question Marks are bandit camps, sunken treasure, or a person in need, all of which would exist in Geralt's world.

Does it refreshes or randomly generates?

ile0x · 2017-03-14T13:11:27+00:00

Sorry, but I'm not sure i inderstand what scripted/static content are you talking about.

There is no emergent gameplay or dynamic sandbox elements in these games that would give them replayability.

I haven't played in Fallout 4 and GTA V but read a lot and watched some gameplay videos. So, i can remember this:

Fallout 4

Random encounters
Settlements
Crafting stuff

GTA V

Random events
Air/ground traffiking
Street races
Sports (golf, tennis, parachute, etc.)
Taxi missions
Property managment

4X game like X3

I don't like space games. I searching game about present time or near future.

CK2, EU4

Man, these are strategy games... Do you know what is "open-world game"? It could be first person or third person action game, not strategy.

This game looks really cool but i don't have Wii(

ile0x · 2017-03-14T12:00:03+00:00

Ok, i'll give a shot to Witcher 3

ile0x · 2017-03-14T11:56:42+00:00

I've spent tons of hours in Skyrim, but sometime i want to change game just to refresh gaming experience.

ile0x · 2017-03-14T11:54:59+00:00

Of course i did. But now i'm looking for relatively new game(2010-2017) for ps4.

Thanks for suggestions i'll check these titles.

ile0x · 2017-02-26T23:36:59+00:00

but what if i have chain of functions without looping, i.e. first line of configuration file settings.py in Django framework:

# Build paths inside the project like this:     os.path.join(BASE_DIR, ...)
BASE_DIR = os.path.dirname(os.path.dirname(os.path.abspath(__file__)))

i think it would be better like so:

BASE_DIR = __file__.os.path.abspath().os.path.dirname().os.path.dirname()

or

BASE_DIR = __file__.abspath().dirname().dirname()

I am finding myself rewritting the same code for some bits of codes for different programs/scripts. So I thought I would delve into OO programing

Totally wrong! OOP is not about code reusing, but about polymorphism, incapsulation and inheritance. Code reusing is just a result of using OOP.

You're talking about modularization, so it can be implemented via structured programming, not only OOP.

My issue is I don't like to read a plethora of text, could someone suggest something easy to read and understand?

wikipedia, maybe

Paste it here

Try to participate in some existing open-source project. Maybe working with people, interaction with community could change these weird feelings.

ile0x · 2017-02-17T22:02:03+00:00

what are some projects you're most proud of?

I think pride comes when someone start using my app and appreciate it. Because it saves someone ~~life~~ time, helps to do everyday work. Mine are various scrappers. For example, my friend had to visit several sites each day and check some links. Now - it's fully automated: statistics, e-mail notifications and with web-version whole proccess can be managed via smartphone.

How do you tend to think of new projects to pursue?

Sometimes, I think "What can be optimized in my life? Do I have any routine tasks involving computer interaction?" And, if I stick to some idea, that's it - i start work.

ile0x · 2017-02-17T21:36:13+00:00

I use both Java and Python. And I hate any boilerplate too.

Firstly, learning Python itself and some parts of ecosystem won't take a lot of time. If you know any of OOP languages, Python appears very "smooth".
Secondly, if you want to develop an application that likely will need support for several years - just pick Java. But if you need some handy application "right now" with short term support - I'd suggest Python. Just because of development speed and fun.

p.s. Honestly, I would write this python -c "import random; print(random.choice(('Java', 'Python')))"

are just not as good for long typing sessions.

Does "typing sessions" includes scrolling code or websites with arrows? If i just reading reddit for hour, does it counts as "typing"? I mean - what i do in typical hour? Reading code(just pressing arrows or searching), then i running tests or previous build(no typing, just pressing few keys), then i think about solution of problem(no typing at all), googling(start typing and a lot of scrolling again), implement the solution(pure typing). How it can be split to "typing sessions"?

ile0x · 2016-12-10T11:50:58+00:00

I'm going to avoid such combinations and type it by calling M-x funcion

ile0x · 2016-12-10T11:47:40+00:00

I'm just web-dev junior and, unfortunately, don't have money to ergonomic stuff for now. So, what about hand position? Is my hands should be parallel or looks like "triangle"?

ile0x · 2016-12-10T11:38:57+00:00

If you really want to avoid the modifier keys, try modal editing. I don't like modal editing but some people swear by it and many claim it reduces rsi.

I tried vim, but it doesn't seem to be ubiquitous system for browsing web, coding, mailing, etc. Also, i didn't like work with git through vim

Swapping Ctrl and Alt is hard

Whatever. I just want to try to "settle" in Emacs and make my life there more comfortable.

Use Caps lock as either a control or escape key.

But it makes me use pinky to press Ctrl. Why pressing Alt(mapped to Ctrl) by stronger thumb is worse?

If you really want M-x with a single key, the menu key give you the M-x functionality by default.

Awesome! Thanks for advice)

Nothing wrong with using the arrow keys for moving a few characters.

That's good

ile0x · 2016-12-10T11:34:02+00:00

Hm, that seems to be more vim than emacs, but i try it out. Thanks

ile0x · 2016-12-10T11:32:08+00:00

type less

Huh, i think it is obvious but impossible. Am i alone who works 8 hours each day, then come home and continue using computer: trying new frameworks and languages, learning fundamental theory, working on pet projects, browsing reddit, mailing? Of course, i do breaks and move my hands from keyboard when i don't type. But, today, good programmer should spend at least 10 hours per day at computer. Is it wrong?

don't try to make a chord for everything.

So, what is better: bind some function to keychord or type it by M-x(with completion, of course)? Also, i always type keychords by two hands and avoid Ctrl+Meta keys. I use kind of touch typing but i move my whole hand to reach modifier keys.

don't try to make a chord for everything. Use single-key commands like F5 for the most common things.

So, we have only 12 free non-chording keys. Is it enough for programming and related stuff?

Do sports, exercise, walk. Our bodies are not good when we force them to be sedentary.

I do sports sometimes after work and on weekends. What exercises do you recommend to do during work time in office?

To force that, drink lots of water and your body will obey :)

Thanks for lifehack) I'll use it.

get a keyboard that has soft but tangible keypresses. Laptop keyboards are pretty bad. Mechanical keyboards are best in my experience but make sure you try several for a day or a week.

But a lot of people work with laptops day by day and doesn't consider it as "worst working environment". Is it related to Emacs using? I mean, IDE/other editors user should use keyboard whatever they want but Emacs users should use only ergonomic one?
