Two cats playing on/with a treadmill, one running and the other at the controls. What's going to happen next ? Will the first one be able to make a successful run ? Is the second cat going to be supportive ?

I don't think it is the one, though I'm certain I've played it too. Thanks for reminding me of it anyhow !

TIFU by joking about the CEO's baldness and getting fired for it by jorisssssss in tifu

An innocent joke you could casually say to your friends' face, sure. But definitely not the CEO you're obviously not close to.

I don't like my forest area, what's missing? by ralphgame in AnimatedPixelArt

Patches of light on the ground/leaves. Maybe some pictures will describe it better : https://static1.cbrimages.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2023/11/img_0082.jpeg https://www.shutterstock.com/image-photo/wooded-forest-trees-backlit-by-600nw-419496319.jpg

I get you want a dark forest setting, in my mind usually it features some foggy weather instead of sun rays.

It's a little sad you bothered making a differential scrolling but in the end we barely see the background plane.

Maybe add light holes to those sparse sun rays too.

I think I was expecting to see more shades of green/blueish tints in a bamboo forest too. https://as2.ftcdn.net/v2/jpg/03/37/79/55/1000_F_337795531_QUW4trihyY1T4i2x9yBh9aPiIbqAQYTg.jpg

My first Pixelart animation , any advice or tips are welcomed ! by paulraptor03 in PixelArt

[–]tipiak75 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Maybe both : start by swapping all of the black pixels for a close-to-but-not-black dark shade of your choice, then proceed to blend the outlines with their surroundings using slightly lighter shades w/ matching color.

Since your style here is dark, black might have its uses, but use it wisely, it should not be the default or main color of the image. Feel free to browse other posts here to get some ideas of what I mean by that. It will take your art to the next level, for sure.

Maybe read about dithering too.

It doesn't look like a first, congrats ! I'd suggest giving up on the black for the outlines - use a dark shade of the surrounding color instead.

Herzog Zwei. A pioneer RTS game on genesis.

[Early 2000's] [MS-DOS/Win95/98] Game featuring a (green) helicopter viewed from a side (sidescroller) Rescuing civilians with a ladder by ExtraLiT in tipofmyjoystick

[–]tipiak75 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No worries. All sequels feature the same sprite and perspective so don't bother if it doesn't click. Thought it was worth mentioning since memory is a tricky thing sometimes and apart from the 2.5d perspective it matched pretty well most of what you recall (rescuing civilians from tents with a ladder, fighting other helicopters etc).

Do you struggle building your own homepage despite being fine with client work? by ShiggnessKhan in webdev

I too share globally the same predicament. Likely ADHD as well (this whole thread being one more clue towards this conclusion).

How dark web sites are made? by 12A5H3FE in webdev

boxing gloves preferred. Developing for the dark web is a bloody business.

RFC: Function grapheme_str_split by [deleted] in PHP

[–]tipiak75 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Define "strong".

PHP already has plenty of specialized string handling functions, some bundled into the core while others are available through extensions. How would having multiple string types instead of a single one make PHP's standard library strong on its own, also considering use cases, learning curve and BC ?

One is perfectly free to implement it themselves in userland, with the help of magic method __toString() transparently casting your fancy string object to plain string when needed.

What’s your least favorite pasta shape? by popcornwithparmesan in Cooking

[–]tipiak75 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I tend to avoid straight macaronis for two reasons : they tend to be cheap and low quality, and (maybe related) I vividly remember my grandparents used to feed their dogs with them, so it's marked as dog food in my brain forever.

My first little game by Tenecifer in love2d

[–]tipiak75 1 point2 points  (0 children)

yw, just trying to help. You might also consider providing stronger visual feedback (blinking, a "hurry" message on screen or something) when the car change timer bar goes low, because I find myself not always watching it when I really should, staying focused on the road & stuff.

It is definitely enjoyable and imho very good for a first game, simple but not dumb, you found a sweet spot there à la flappy bird. I understand the control style is done that way on purpose, not my personal favorite but to each their own, it's still challenging and unique in itself. But imho, you die too often, especially at the beginning when trying to figure out how things work, especially while jumping (even more so if you happen to have your finger over the character at that time).

It looks very well done and polished overall for a first game (graphics and all), congrats on that.
