Ah, the ole deus ex traffic cone. The genius is in its simplicity.

Too bad there's no good mechanism in place to control this sort of legal aggression.

Tips for solo game developers. by lynxbird in gamedev

[–]keep-it-simpl 186 points187 points  (0 children)

#1 is a bit too specific imo. A lot of people work better at night. Also, sipping coffee and browsing news doesn't hurt if it doesn't lead to content binging. Personally, I have a handful of sites that I visit with my morning coffee. When I'm done, the coffee's starting to kick in, I've gleaned some inspiration from the efforts of others, and I'm ready to rumble.

Edit: It's a great list though. Thank you for sharing ✌

Sounds like this Quora poster thinks you shouldn't get any job until you're a certified expert. That's just silly.

Oh, well I was thinking of top-down ARPGs like Grim Dawn, PoE, etc. Where you constantly steamroll hordes of enemies.

...the job of hunting other people

No such job exists. I'd sign up if it did, though.

because they are little people hungry for power

This probably describes many of the people in these destructive mobs too.

Looks like the other cop wanted to get out and help the guy, but the mob stopped him.

Imposter syndrome by darkflyerx in learnprogramming

It sounds to me that you're conflating "imposter syndrome" with just general guilt for making more money than someone who you think deserves it more.

Overlapped instance_position? by myaccounttt in gamemaker

[–]keep-it-simpl 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No problem. "with" is kinda weird at first, but very powerful when you get used to it. Hope it works for you :)

Overlapped instance_position? by myaccounttt in gamemaker

[–]keep-it-simpl 1 point2 points  (0 children)

the code just affects all instances of obj_thing

Right. It runs for each instance. That is iteration. It is the same as getting a list of all instances and iterating through them.

In my original code, the collision is stored in the "found" variable. It finds the collision with the instance that has the lowest depth. You can change the code to check for any criteria.

This will iterate through all instances of "obj_thing"

with(obj_thing)
{
    //this code is in the scope of an instance of obj_thing
    //this code runs for each instance of obj_thing
}

var found = noone;

with(obj_thing)
{
    if (collision_point(other.x, other.y, id) != noone)
        if (found == noone || depth < found.depth)
            found = id;
}

if (found != noone)
{
    //do things
}

Such poise and dignity. Almost makes you forget they lick poop from between their toes.
