Slime Salad

Sorry wasn't the right word, I meant I'm saddened. But I do constantly wonder, isn't all this peer-pressure on people to make games a bad thing? Surely most of us have more important things to do than spend time on hobbies; I don't see that many people trying to push the state of the art or attain a...

Rather than using "npc reference" to get a reference, you can also do the opposite and get the ID number from a reference. E.g. to check for any copy of NPC ID 5: variable (npcref) npcref := npc at spot(X, Y) # change this if (npcref != 0 &am...

With the current script interpreter it should be pretty trivial to not kill the scripts. But with the new interpreter it'll be more complex, because it'll be aware of every slice handle, npc reference, etc, and those all need to be invalidated. Still, shouldn't be too big a task. I guess not killing...

Motrya ruled out for several years? Dang, sorry to hear that.

Can you link to the open source clone? Unflattener I don't think it does everything that Sprite Lamp does - it only generates normal maps - but that is the main feature of Sprite Lamp. I haven't tried it. I also found this free and cross-platform tool: AwesomeBump which has many features and seems ...

Would be possible for us to do it for them.

There are a few people here interested in Unity. I never got around to trying it.

Are the courses on game development multidisciplinary, or do the students specialise in 3D modelling, non-3D art, programming, etc? I wonder to what degree things like game design or marketing are covered.

Went ahead and improved some of the docs.

That includes the ability to modify the local variables of the parent script (which you can't do with a separate script), so you can deduplicate repeated code by moving it into a subscript.

Funny, I was just looking at the previous bundle a couple days ago, and realised it was never really completed (nobody added Mac downloads for the games except James and PHC). I actually couldn't find the previous bundle with Google, so here's a link: OHRRPGCE Bundle 2014 That looks like a good list...

If you do use global variables for a variable length array, it's convenient to store the length in a global immediately before the array so that you can see it in the script debugger: define constant(99, array:items length) define constant(100, array:items&...

I was just wondering whether traditional chess puzzle would work. There are a few different types of chess puzzle. One is where you're trying to find a way for both players to cooperate to achieve something like a certain position, which would mean controlling both sides. Another is whether you're t...

Oh, that looks great -- both the concept and the graphics. I hope that creating a good AI isn't too onerous. I guess there's two approaches: either write a simple AI but give it more pieces/other advantages, or try to make it actually play well (game tree search). How would the puzzle stages work? P...

I wrote a wiki article about fake arrays last time someone asked. http://rpg.hamsterrepublic.com/ohrrpgce/Scripts:Fake_arrays Arrays of global variables are easier to inspect, using the script debugger (press V a few times until it shows global variables), although you can't see where the array ends.

But... what's the link between pumpkins and Pascal's triangle? And what do Fibonacci number have to do with either?

(I don't have time to enter this contest)
