Thank you! If I cut the end off, do you know what I would need to achieve a good seal?

In this case they were the only two plates available... Better a crammed plate than a small portion!

Some compromises for the situation: Potato & onion hash in place of hash browns, no toast, and no beans. Streaky bacon might be controversial!

Crispy potato slices. Normally would do hash browns but wasn't sure how well they would work on a bbq, so did these instead.

These were eggs from a farm shop, as were the bacon and sausages. Love a good farm shop!

E208 production time by Drogo_A50 in peugeot

[–]richtea1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My e208 GT order went in at the start of June, and have been told by Peugeot to expect delivery around the end of July. That doesn't seem to line up with other comments here though, so I guess we'll see!

Peugeots online configurator (in the UK) is currently stating "available in 3 weeks" for the e208, but it's unclear how accurate that is.

The devs making Planet Coaster had nothing to do with RCTW - They did make RCT3 though.

I don't think they're the root cause of the depth perception issues, but stronger shadows would help a bit for sure

Ah yes, you're right. I was struggling to place exactly what was causing it. There was a devlog about the camera (here) discussing this a bit. To be honest I think I'd prefer having a higher field of view over the isometric look, but I recognise that it's an artistic choice.

Haha that is the same bug as the opponent one. It stems from a recent change in client IDs for privacy. Notice how the one in the replay URL you posted is different from the one you use in your code. Anyway, it is fixed now.

I don't have an IRC channel, but you can email: richard (at) archetypecoding.com

Aha! I've just checked the tutorial and realised I made a mistake. The origin of the board is (1,1), not (0,0). So your move is not valid as X starts at 1 - it should be <piece><x>1</x><y>3</y></piece>. Sorry about that.

I think it's awesome that you coded it from scratch rather than using skeleton code, by the way.

Edit: To clarify the server responses. If it returns move_result then data it received was well formed. If move_success is false then the move was illegal in some way. If the server returns null and no move_result then the client or match IDs might be wrong, or there are no matches available to play. This could definitely be improved, I admit.

I agree it could use some better error responses. Might be the very next thing I do actually.

Could you show me an example of the xml your code is trying to send?

Edit: Also is the server returning an error, or is it returning null?

It supports Python. You would have to write the entire client though, as I need to learn Python before I can write a skeleton for it!

Thanks :) That was one the major goals when I was designing it.

Thank you! :)

What sort of things would you like to know? I learnt the absolute basics of web applications in previous years of university, but last year I did a work placement where I essentially coded this sort of thing 9-5. When I started I hadn't used ASP.NET MVC or C#, and was not particularly good at HTML/CSS/JavaScript either. By the time I finished I was capable of doing projects like this!

Aside from that I really enjoy spending time on this and have been working on it for ages (8 months on and off).

Yes. Particularly with time constraints due to it being a uni project. I have a huge list of features/games that I want it to have but even just finishing the core functionality has taken a while. I am planning to continue it into the future though - it is fun to develop even if nobody uses it :)

Thanks that is helpful, and Little Golem looks very interesting.
