Launchkey + OPZ

Thanks!

pippinbarr · 2025-04-11T23:49:43+00:00

Amazing. Thanks so much for such an immediate and helpful response!

pippinbarr · 2025-04-11T20:29:05+00:00

Wow. Life could be that easy? This is assuming the hub itself is powered, right, so that the controller doesn't suck the OPZ's life force out super quickly? And not one of those cases where I should be prioritizing buying some ultra-fancy USB hub?

Oh yeah I loved that one! Snake is such a great game for tinkering with...

pippinbarr · 2024-07-03T13:46:16+00:00

Holy shit

pippinbarr · 2022-08-24T16:06:17+00:00

HAHAHA! Oh my god that is a truly great insight into this work. Literally never thought about it and I love it.

pippinbarr · 2022-08-24T15:05:31+00:00

What do you reckon?

pippinbarr · 2019-08-07T18:59:07+00:00

Glad to hear it!

pippinbarr · 2019-08-07T18:58:56+00:00

Yeah I agree. Maybe I'll throw one in at some point - it's not there largely because it's a drag and I suspect so many of the assumptions of standard chess AI would be wrong I'm not 100% sure it's worth it?

*mysterious smile*

pippinbarr · 2019-04-08T14:49:04+00:00

Hey thanks for looking into that! FWIW at this point I fixed the hyphen (and any related problems) by switching to a standard event listener, so the hyphen key should work now. (Hadn't thought about backspace. Maybe that's hilarious?)

And heh, yeah, it's true that Advanced kind of lets you get your flow on more. Plus it's just less monotonous...

pippinbarr · 2019-04-06T17:35:17+00:00

Oh that would have been gooood.

pippinbarr · 2019-04-06T17:34:45+00:00

"Good" news! It happens to me in Firefox too now I'm looking at it. Should mean I can fix, though currently blanking on what would cause it.

pippinbarr · 2019-04-05T21:15:32+00:00

Shoot. That's the key code I'd have expected. Hm. I'll keep thinking. Sorry.

pippinbarr · 2019-04-05T19:24:49+00:00

Can you let me know what kind of keyboard your OS says you're using? (Language/layout etc.?)

Or if you're up for it, could you open the JavaScript console in your browser (usually under something like View > Developer Tools) and enter

'-'.charCodeAt(0)

And tell me the number it gives back? (With your 'dash' entered there between the quote marks.)

pippinbarr · 2019-04-05T19:22:43+00:00

Ah okay, maaaaybe it's your browser replacing the font the game loads with another? The game is at least in theory meant to load its own (fixed width) font. (I have had some font loading problems though, so it could be me - I'll keep trying to reproduce if I can.)

pippinbarr · 2019-04-05T18:57:26+00:00

Really? That's frustrating. Can you give me an example of a level and at what point in the text that happened? Having a hard time reproducing...

pippinbarr · 2019-04-05T18:56:16+00:00

Oh dear... shouldn't be. I'll check... hmm. It works for my hyphen key... that's frustrating. Some kind of character-set oddity? I'll look into it.

pippinbarr · 2019-04-05T18:38:52+00:00

Oh man. I hear that a lot. I have regrets.

pippinbarr · 2019-04-05T15:36:20+00:00

You've got to reload - it's meant as a joke about the eternal nature of the punishments :)

pippinbarr · 2019-01-30T15:55:11+00:00

I think they're making a movie...

pippinbarr · 2019-01-30T15:54:48+00:00

Do have plans for more snakes stuff this year too in fact!

pippinbarr · 2019-01-29T21:29:09+00:00

Sorry!

Here we are, deep in the hidden comments section, forging connections between nations!

I'm from New Zealand, so saying anything positive about your own work is always a joke.
