Off Topic / A bad week

« on: March 03, 2005, 02:42:20 PM »

[sings]It's just a feeling
I get sometimes
A feeling
Sometimes
And I get frightened
Just like you
I get frightened too
but it's...

(no no no) No time for heartache
(no no no) No time to run and hide
(no no no) No time for breaking down
(no no no) No time to cry

Sometimes in the world as is you've
Got to shake the hand that feeds you
It's just like Adam says
It's not so hard to understand
It's just like always coming down on
Just like Jesus never came and
What did you expect to find
It's just like always here again it's...

(no no no) No time for heartache
(no no no) No time to run and hide
(no no no) No time for breaking down
(no no no) No time to cry

Everything will be alright
Everything will turn out fine
Some nights I still can't sleep
And the voices pass with time
And I keep
[repeat]
No time for tears
No time to run and hide
No time to be afraid of fear
I keep no time to cry

(no no no) No time for heartache
(no no no) No time to run and hide
(no no no) No time for breaking down
(no no no) No time to cry [/sings]

Off Topic / Oooh Snow!

I hate snow.

We've been ankle deep for the last three weeks or so. It's doing my head in. The only thing worse is sand.

:rolleyes:

Leak the key. People who try to sell that sort of junk to people deserve everything they get. But then, I'm a warez monkey, so I would say that. On a completely unrelated note, does anybody know how you can recombine a bunch of files from a DVD into a single file?

Only I have Hero here in fifty pieces and I can't find the subtitles.

Wormhole. Read the Algerbraist.

EDIT: And warp drive would take the energy of an exploding star every second.

Hey, Numsgil, check out that travesty of an abstract object; effort.

:(

I wanted everyone to know I was a mod. Although, just posting something in here probably would have worked.

I just have to find something worth posting...  <_<

I'm talking about the way that if you punished it for something a bare halfsecond after it had done it it would have a clue what the context was.

Ooh, he has a Livejournel...

Excuse me, I must plot a diabolical scheme.

EDIT: Ah, shit. It's all in Russian.

It was actually very complete.  The problem was that it was soooo complete.  The stupid little animal would remember how hard you slap/stroke it, not only what it was doing but when it was doing it, etc.

Numsgil, in all honesty, have you played the game? The context parser was shot all to hell.

The AI system in B&W took about thirty people the best part of  a decade to make and it was still a huge pile of dung.

I had an epiphany last night, at about two in the morning. Unfortunately, it's quite personal so I'm not going to share it with you (apart from the heuristic collisions detection bit; that's unrelated, really). But I just wanted you (everybody!) to know that for the first time in three months I am UNCONDITIONALLY HAPPY. It's a great feeling.

For those of you who feel like your life is falling apart at the seams, and you lack the will, inclination or the ability to do anything about it, I have one thing to say.

Everything will be alright. Believe that. Belief is the strongest force in the universe; if you believe that you will fail, you will fail. If you believe that you can succeed, you will succeed.

Trust me, and everything will be alright.

Fuck yes. I've solved it. :pengysmiley:  Add a layer to the e-grid that stores the objects currently present in that square. Then, when a bot wants to check hearing or smell or sight or anything like that it can access that information for a suitable number of squares in each direction a get a small list to check distances for.

You'd never need to search the entire array for anything ever again. At least from a single bot perspective.

Model the enviroment, I'm telling you,and everything will follow after. Trust me on this. Instead of searching through all the bots to find which ones are closest, then looking at what they're saying, model sound waves as objects. Update positions every cycle and set up a rule for collisions.
