Slime Salad

HS doesn't offer a method for square root, but we don't actually need it. It does , actually. vx := speed * (x2 - x1) ^ 2 / distance vy := speed * (y2 - y1) ^ 2 / distance That's not right. You do need the square root here (or otherwise some trig). Co...

Since I don't have a paypal account, I can only transfer money if you give me a link to a donation/purchase page.

Oh, I'd forgotten about this. So I guess there's actually lots of magnets to spare? I'd like at least 4: Bob & James, OHR, Sephy's eel, and the sock puppets are pretty amusing Do you want payment in slimebucks (2000 each) or in real internet money (Cordial Minuet credit, up to US$3 (withdrawable...

Oh, that looks promising!

I don't have any free time to work on it :( Maybe later this week... but probably I'm only going to get busier.

I really need to apply James' advice more too!

"stop timer" actually pauses a timer, by setting its speed to zero. All you have to do to resume it is use "set timer" to set its speed back to the correct value. All arguments to settimer except for the timer ID are optional, and if you leave them out or write timer:default, the...

The totally correct solution is to never use sliceisvalid, and instead set the variable to zero when you delete the slice it points to. In most case you know when you're deleting it.

It's worth noting that "a massive number" here means 5000. However this is the behaviour in nightlies since a couple months ago only; before then "slice is valid" was far closer to being useless.

This is an enjoyable way to replay Wandering Hamster again :) Music tracks might seem quiet, but that's perfect for the layering when multiple sound effects and music play at once (multiple voices in the music would be cool). It's not complete; I assume you weren't intending people to play very far!...

I laughed. Wait, if it's actually funny, then the joke is spoilt, which isn't very funny. And paradoxes normally aren't humorous either.

My (terrible) strategy for dealing with it:

1) Get REALLY motivated
2) Act fast before you lose motivation

A much better idea:

3) Use discipline rather than motivation

Fyrewulff once joked that his wristwatch was more capable than the OHRRPGCE. I wasn't expecting it to come true! I hadn't even heard of Android watches and know nothing about them. "Wearable Apps" apparently have to be embedded in an Android app and are automatically installed on the watch...

Hmm, in that case sending slices through network streams could be less than ideal. But having a server that does anything nontrivial probably always complicates things. I've never done any netcode programming; I've only read a few articles on it. Here's two great starting points: https://news.ycombi...

Yes, if the framerate target (eg 60fps) isn't being hit, then the game would run slower (things literally moving around the screen slower). Frame skipping means just not redrawing the screen for some frames to save time, so that the target can be hit (even if you can't see all those frames).
