Design Strategy: Following Party.
Design Strategy: Following Party. Hi,SO in a lot of RPG games, you'll have a party, but when you're not out of combat, they'll just not be visible. I was wondering, would there be a possibility of having the other party members actually follow you around the maps. My mains worries are thus:In an audio based game, the footsteps behind you would be loud and distracting:A way to solve this may be to use a concept I talked about in a topic before about Sound Queues, where the order of sounds, if you have 10 footsteps, is determined randomly where no number repeats, played in that order, and then reshuffled. I feel like there would have to be a lot of footsteps per surface, so that it doesn't end up reshuffling to fast so you don't keep hering the same steps sound over and over. In an Rpg system, this could be helped with armor/clothing clinks or rustles being added in to add variety.Characters moving at different speed. This could just be left out, but if someone is walking in Plate Mail, they're going to move slower than someone in Leather Armor. This means that the player has the opurtunity to leave behind other characters, which also means that travel would be slowed suggnificantly, if the players were forced to make sure the characters kept up.Any game design ideas for something like this? By the way, I'm not looking for code, simply bouncing ideas.

Re: Extended PEMDAS.
Re: Extended PEMDAS. @9, that's actually a good point. So you're suggesting randomizing each seperately? Probably wouldn't be that big of a deal.

Extended PEMDAS.
Extended PEMDAS. This has been a thought in the back of my mind for quite a while: I see Discord bots for dice rolling and such that have the advanced dicerolling, but also support the entirety of PEMDAS. I've sat down and tried to do it a few times, but I'm imagining this would take some RegEx and or Recursion skills that I definitely don't have. Let's take a few examples.First, let's say that I pass in:(1*8)*(3+3)**3Solve all of the parenthases first, so the equation ends up to be:8*6**3In this instance, ** is exponent, so the equation then becomes:8*216And then, we solve, to 1728. It would be really funny if I totally did this all wrong. It's actually been a minute sense I've had to use that stuff.Example 2: Original, but replace the original 1 with 2d6, which would mean 2 dice with six sides.(2d6*8)*(3+3)**3The difficulty here: I know how to do dice, just get a random number between amount of dice and amount * sides. The issue is how do we do all of this in a way that you can easily parse all of this. Let's just do the quick example, saying that 2d6 turned into 4.(2d6*8)*(3+3)**3 =32*216 =6912Any general logic will work if anyone wants to try their hand at this. My luck, it's super simple and I'm just dumb.

Re: Am I too stupid for programming?
Re: Am I too stupid for programming? It gets demoralizing, yes. There's really not much to help you becides remembering that there will always be someone or something better than you. it also boils down to the fact that you don't have to be ... smart ... to program, you need to be creative and logical. Being smart is a huge help, but it's not the leading factor. Thus, you're not stupid for not understanding someone's code, because, unless you're an entire beginner, which i know you aren't, then it's probably either a stupid complicated algarithm, or it's just way to convaluded.

Re: searching for developers
Re: searching for developers All I'm going to say on this matter is you're most likely not going to find very many developers here who are qualified to do something like this. A majority of them are 12-15, at least the active ones, who have no grasp of what networking is.

Or, maybe a more fair comparison would be Audiogames and the more advanced developers who actually attempt to design correctly to make there games run and act like mainstream games, frame timers, fluid movement, physics or pseudophysics, etc. I don't want to say that all of this is beyond your scope, especially before looking at your Github, but a lot of it can get quite confusing if you don't have someone to explain it to you and help you through it.But regarding your question, most Audiogames, especially of the recent BGT variety, use perfectly linear rounded XYZ coordinates. A lot of them even cheat and do things like: Pseudocode:if(key_pressed(KEY_UP)) {
if(facing == 45) {
x, y = x + 0.5, y = y + 0.5
}
}Etc... It's stupid and rediculous and not how it works. If you must, if you don't have any background in Trig or any such things to understand how to make such math, like i was, you can port over Sam's 3d rotation functions from BGT. I think it's at least a good start.Now, Mainstream games still use coordinates under the hood as far as I know, because... how else... but they don't let you see the coordinates, and they use under the hood collision detection like Camlorn's, which, as has been said, is probably a bit much for you, especially because you won't be needing order of magnitude optimizations for a very long time, especially if you're using Python.Regarding jumping:I had a similar question actually, a while ago. I was given very good advice that I was to stupid to actually use properly. Take it step by step, what do you do when you jump. This depends on if you want very realisti jumps or the ridiculous gravity defying jumps that you can do indefinitely in a lot of Audiogames. But, for clarities sake, generally you'll jump, start rising at a near constant speed. Once you've hit the height of your jump, which, if that is a constant amount, we can just calculate by checking if the player is that many feet above where they jumped from. A lot of games have you hang in midair at the height of your jump for a small amount of time. Am I just imaging this wrong because I've never noticed something like that in real life... Anyway, do that or not... But you'd then start falling... Now if this were real life, you'd accelerate, physics people correct me if that's the wrong term, downard quite fast, because... gravity... so that jump wouldn't last very long, but if you make the time something decently long, like 0.15 or 0.25 seconds, then you'll fall decently slowly, making the stupid jumps. Generally, if you're not going for the physics aproach, you're going to want to rise and fall at the same speed.I'm not going to provide pseudocode because I'm sure you can figure it out.Keep in mind, i'm not all that acomplished myself, so if any else on this topic says something to my contrary, then you should probably follow there advice, but this is a couple things I've picked up or been able to logic out.

Atempting Github Pages with a Header/footer System... Help?
So I started messing around with github pages, and I was like hey! It almost worked with a multilevel folder structure, so like... Let's try it here where all of the html will probably be in a single directory.So in each page I have the following jQuery:$("#header").load("header.html");$("#footer").load("footer.html");this produced some crazy error about Cores that i had when I atempted this locally, so I switched it to:$("#header").load("https://brennandraves.github.io/header.html");$("#footer").load("https://brennandraves.github.io/footer.html");And that produced the same error. So I did some research and I came up with:$("#header").load("http://cores.io?https://brennandraves.github.io/header.html");$("#footer").load("http://cores.io?https://brennandraves.github.io/footer.html");And that gave the following error for each page:Blocked loading mixed active content “http://cores.io/?footer.html”[Learn More]jquery-3.3.1.js:9600:9My header and footer pages have _javascript_ in them, and I'd really prefer that it stay that way. I'm going to go try it without _javascript_ and I'll update. For now, can someone try and explain how I might do this correctly? Or even if there's a better way to do includes in Github Pages. Like, do they offer SSI or something?

Re: Earwax Hello,So I understand how most of this works and would be able to make something that wasn't insanely complicated, but I'd really like to understand how the actual thing works, so that I can at least know what my library is using, and maybe even contribute code eventually. The main thing I don't understand is decorators. I understand the basics of how decorators work, but you use them... for a lot more than I thought you could. Any places you'd recommend actually learning about such things? This library is a lot more Pythonic then I've seen in many places, and thus is a little more confusing for me.Thank you.

Re: Playing Footsteps?
Re: Playing Footsteps? @2's solution works. If you're 60 fps, which is 1/1000, which is 0.016 seconds, then maybe a good time to play would be 0.25 seconds. 0.25/0.016 = aprox. 15.625 Frames between step sound play.You could do that, or maybe, depending on how fast the actual movement ends up being, you could store the start position and everytime you're a full 1.00 amount on whichever axis is more dominant based on your angle, you play. You'd have to do some testing to see if the sound lines up and sounds fluid. If it doesn't sound very fluid to you, you can always add some short foally movement sounds in the middle to pad it out and make it sound fuller.

Re: Designing an Audio FPS
Re: Designing an Audio FPS @jimmy69, I disagree. I don't recall if he said that this would be a fully 3 dimentional game, but even if so, I don't think that you really need anything fancy. As long as you can tell up from down, you really don't need that much quality. Sure, it definitely helps, but I've also found that you have to be careful with it. Some people will use circular based audio in a linear tile based game or something similar.I guess I should ask, and this is before atempting the demo, @op, may I ask what polygon's you're using for movement and audio?@CheeseWheel, that's a bad ass gun! I didn't know you could buy guns with mounted launchers like that. You were probably being sarcastic, but to my knowledge you definitely wouldn't have been able to buy grenades for that, right?@op I also don't know if you're using frames, you probably are. If so, if you have a form of constant freform turning, please make it move by small increments of 5 or 10 degrees. My experiments show that in a 60 FPS, when turning 1 degree every frame, which is 0.016 seconds, it takes a long ass time to turn a full 180. Speaking of, ways to snap 180 would be nice, as well as a possible indicator while constant turning to due North.I'm now going to play the demo and post again afterword.

Re: Python: Confusion on the Way I Might Pull This List Comprehention Off The order of items is unimportant.

The issue is that of the possibility of there being containers inside containers, and so on.The game won't be very complex, probably not even worth a release of any kind, maybe a Github Repo, but even that's iffy.Any simpler solutions pop into your brain that can be easily listed off?

Python: Confusion on the Way I Might Pull This List Comprehention Off
Python: Confusion on the Way I Might Pull This List Comprehention Off Hello,I was messing around with some RPG style code out of boredom. Many other questions will follow as I continue to make it.Anyway, I was coding an inventory type system. The inventory is lain out as follows:The inventory it's self is a dictionary in the player class, helpfully labeled inventory,The keys are the item object its self and the value is the amount of that item.Name is stored in the item's object, and I've come up with a passable system that's is a bit to conveluded to lay out here, but it involves inheritance for different item types. More or less, there is a class for containers.Now my issue is when I'm trying to search the entirety of the inventory for an item.Obviously, I could just do item in self.inventory.keys(), but you know, the small issue of having containers in my inventory.My original function was going to be:# Note that this is inside the player class, hence the indentation level. def search_inventory(self, item, quantity): # Returns item object if found, None otherwise. for key, value in self.inventory.keys(), self.inventory.values(): if item == key.name: return key # Otherwise, it's not on the surface level, so we need to check, one, if the current item is a container, and if so, loop through it's contents. if isinstance(key, Container) && item in key.contents.keys() && quantity >= key.contents[item]: # Container is imported above. return key return NoneNote that this doesn't follow my normal standards, it's really messy, but I wrote it by hand.Anyway, I'd like to do this a lot cleaner, and I assumed that list comprehension would work for something like this, but I've never used comprehension with nested things, and wasn't sure exactly how to get this to work out. Any suggestions? Am I aproaching this entire thing wrong?P.S.

Re: Theoretics and Pseudocode: Sound Cues.
Re: Theoretics and Pseudocode: Sound Cues. 5 reminded me. I'd like to start loading sounds into memory instead of streaming from disk, at least for things that don't have two many sounds. First of all, what's the recommended limit for when I should stop preloading and start streaming due to ram usage? This probably depends on the type of game, but figured I'd ask.So if I started doing this, how might I intigrate that with a sound cue? Could I make the items of the list I use to store the unused sounds the actual sound objects? I feel like that may get a bit costly.

Re: Theoretics and Pseudocode: Sound Cues.

Theoretics and Pseudocode: Sound Cues.
Theoretics and Pseudocode: Sound Cues. Hello,I'm planning on porting your ideas into Python, but I'll accept answers in any language, even pseudocode. I've noticed that in a lot of audiogames where we pull a random sound for, say, steps or gunshots, we sometimes play the exact same sound twice, or even more. My record is hering the same step time 7 times in a row. To me this is jarring, and I was trying to think of a good way to fix this.I came up with something tht I'm fairly certain has been done before, Sound Cues.In the Python Engine I'm develpoing in currently, we have an Audio Backend that operates nearly identically to Bgt's SoundPool Class. My idea is to somehow store two pieces of data per sound:Soundfile and or key:Problem one: I use multi-folder archives for my sounds. Should I display the full path? Make up a key for each sound, which is the absolute last resort.The list of sounds related:I've developed a system where we can have as many of a specific sound, say, fire, in a folder, as we want, provided they all start with the ame string. Therefor, we could store a list of all collected sounds that can be played and pop them upon play,Or, we could store a list of what's been taken.I'm trying to figure out a way to do this both cleanly, in a way that doesn't take up a bunch of resources and in a way that doesn't chop at all. The main reason I'm worried about these is that in the systems I'd be using these for, I'd probably be using a very large amount of sounds.I thought about just making sure I don't use the same sound twice, which is a lot easier, but I'd really like to be able to do this where no sound plays again until every sound has been played.Be aware, I haven't put this to any code yet, so I don't have any performance checks, but I don't know enough about such things to say whether it would be expensive or not, although I'm asuming a list of such proportions would be, so I'd like to here your suggestions first, so I can hopefully do this right.

Re: could someone make me a visitor counter?
Re: could someone make me a visitor counter? Honestly, I wouldn't use Php for this, but I also don't use Php for anything, because it's disgusting and I hate it.I'd probably just use _javascript_ and send an HttpRequest to your server that says: "Yo, I gots a new visitor." and the server's like: "Ah ite, that's cool." And it updates the counter, and then sends back a packet with the amount of visitors.Also, why does security matter? It's not like it does any harm if someone gets a hold of his visotrs file. The worst I could see them doing is grabbing it, writing a number that _javascript_ can't handle and putting it back, but I don't even know if you can do that or if _javascript_ will throw errors if you go over it's number limit, or just round it.Also consider I know jack shit about security and all that.

General Languages: Confusion on Callback Func Procedures
General Languages: Confusion on Callback Func Procedures
Hello, I was messing around with Lucia (via Python) and I came across the idea of Callback functions. now, I"ve seen these before, however the wording confused me a little.It tells me to pass a function to the class, however...I'm asuming this would be a string of the function name, because if I directly called the function, it would just contain the returned information. However, I'm confused at just passing it a string. How does it trace this to a relative file path.For example: I have some random functoin:def myCallback ():
print ("Stuff happens... Yea!")
Then, I pass that to a callback variable inside the Lucia Module.
ui = lucia.ui.menu2 () #This doesn't actually work because it isn't enabled.
ui.callbackFunction = "myCallback"My confusion on this matter is that the calling of the actual Callback occurs in the run loop inside Lucia. How, then, does it know which actual function I am referring to wen I pass it a string such as this.Am I misunderstanding the process? Is there a better way to do Callbacks?Thank you.

Re: GUI Alternatives to WxPython @WxWrapper. I thought about something like that, a sort of wrapper moduel designed to automate the long winded parts and maybe help out a bit with the placement of GUI elements. I would just have to buckle down and swallow Wx by the handful.

GUI Alternatives to WxPython
GUI Alternatives to WxPython WxPython is the special child of the mix. It makes my brain hurt, it's overly verbose and somewhat redundant at times. Another issue is that I have to give exact positioning arguments for elements, which, understandably, I can't do effectively.Are there any simpler modules that allow quick and easy ways to create accessible GUI elements? I don't need anything to complex here, just that I don't want to keep using the same stupid menu system that we've used sense the old days of Bgt.Cheers: Redfox.

Re: The quickest way to build maps in bgt?
Re: The quickest way to build maps in bgt? Because that's not how packfiles work.To answer your question OP: There is a function, I think it is like script_compiled or something of that nature, check the help files.For map creation, asuming they would be dynamic? Just use loops to quickly lay down tiles and hazards and whatnot.If you can come back to us with a more specific set of questions I'd happy to go into more detail, but as of right now I'm not quite sure what you need.

Html, javascript, css, php, collapsable lists/accordians?
Html, _javascript_, css, php, collapsable lists/accordians? I want to make a collapsable list, like an accordian, but the example on w3schools doesn't work and every thing I've tried won't work.I even tried to puzzle out how Nathan did it on nathantech.net, but it only works for one item and you gotta add a bunch of extra shit if you want to have multiple dynamic items.Does anybody know a good way to have items in a list, with a link, button, or clickable that you can click on to expand lists, that would say expanded or collapsed based on what that list is?

Logical: Realistic Weaponry and Amunition?
Logical: Realistic Weaponry and Amunition? Hello, my fellow "Programming Elites!"This doesn't have to be in code, just logic, or pseudocode if you like. But how would you program as realistically as possible, weaponry and ammunition.I read up on this a bit, and was thinking:For melee weapons, you would probably use raycasting. Raycasting is a system used in fps games that would basically make a ray and throw it in the direction faced, starting, usually, at the muzzle of a gun. This would instantaneously travel the range specified and if there was something hittable in that, it would just hit it, no time would pass, it would just happen. I wouldn't use this for guns because it offers no chance to react, not that you really have a ton of time IRL anyway, but still.Firearms and bullets are another thing though.Maybe give ideas for properties, how they would effect player[s], and what they might do and how?Peace.

Can you explain why this happens?The way you coded it... Everytime the code loops, it calls the countdown function. The issue with this is that at the start of the countdown function, it will ask for input, so it will start counting, and imidiately stop because your asking for a new number.Why does input only work for strings and not for integers? I don't see why input cant work for ints.The input function just basically makes an input box. As shown @2, it is very easy to convert it to an integer.Why does it break after it gets to 0? I mean why doesn't it keep printing blastoff!?I'm not a hundred percent on the syntax for python, but the reason it keeps going is that you call countdown again.What I would do is put that in a while loop and break after you print blastoff.Is this forum only for game development or for development in general?Please elaborate on this question.Thanks a lot.

@op, why is that second array there?I would do something like this:uint j;

string[] array;
int index=0;
double[] numarray;
void main()
{
//open existing values
f.open("test.txt","r");
array=string_split(f.read(),"\n",false);
f.close();
//convert string values to integers
for(uint j=0;j

Re: what is the problem with this bgt code
Re: what is the problem with this bgt code
Your issue is that the string you created is only alive while that function is alive.Variables come in two fashions: personal and global. Personal isn't the right term for it but I'm tired ok?Personal variables are variables created in the midst of a game, in a function.Global variables are ones that have been created out of functions.Take this example.int x;void main(){int y;}The x value would be reachable from anywhere in the code. But the y value, because it was created inside a function, would only work in the main function.Let me know if this helps.P.S. I know the solution to your problem, but I want to see if you can figure it out yourself first.
