@jcoglan I use floats daily, and rarely think about accumulating error. Games are a different place (unless you need deterministic replays)
-
@radiodario @chipzel you guys coming to London Indies tomorrow?
-
@terrycavanagh does that work as a for-each on iterators/lists? (I rarely use normal for loops)
-
@terrycavanagh right, unifying for loops as only happening on iterators, then giving a quick range construct. More than fine with me!
-
@terrycavanagh (though it would be nicer if you could use the ... syntax to specify step size and have it auto decrement if start > end)
-
@chipzel @radiodario The Crown, Angel, Islington all evening - I'll probably get there 7/8.

Tabluating expenses (tax return season!), and ruminating on everythingibought.tumblr.com/

@Poxican is there another renderer attached to the GO? How is trailRenderer set (is it even on the same GO as the script?) It's not built-in
-
@Poxican ah, I get you now! trailRenderer is also a Renderer, so renderer could refer to either it or the MeshRenderer.
-
@Poxican Ah great - you could also do GetComponent<TrailRenderer>() and GetComponent<MeshRenderer>() and keep it on the same GO.

Okay... I decided that going to Disney probably wasn't a valid expense. But what about my ticket to Lost Levels last year?
-
@hannahnicklin I mean, it was free if you didn't buy a ticket. So I got a link to a game I'd already played that's free on the Internet.
-
@hannahnicklin (I ask this because I am really bored, not as a genuine tax question)

Unity EventSystem : any way to customize the key repeat rate? Input keeps skipping past options when navigating between buttons.
-
@TomNullpointer I want the user to have to re-press, or at least wait longer for holding it down to move on again.

Duh! It's "Input actions per second" on the Event Module.

@TomNullpointer Nah, this is the EventSystem stuff from the new UI. Anyway, it turns out : @v21/552076816631222273

@richlitt guilty! sorry :<
-
@lexicobob I'm still (very slightly) bitter about Uniduino. I got that stuff to work before they did! And then I never did anything with it.
-
@lexicobob (I would pay $30 not to reimplement that stuff myself, though)
-
@lexicobob I don't see any reason that won't work, as long as the COM port fiddling works outside Unity.
-
@lexicobob Most Asset Store people are pretty reasonable about refunds if it doesn't work, though.
-
@lexicobob When I moved back to Mac I moved back to MonoDevelop, and ... nah, actually you should get VS, this sucks.

@awesommelier that condones the speech vs their right to say it, that deserves a backlash. Where's "Je Suis Ahmed"?

I really like this article on designing tight, elegant puzzle games rockpapershotgun.com/2015/01/22/how-to-make-a-puzzle-game/
-
@v21 I often find this kind of tight design constricting, and yearn for chewy problems to solve instead. Spacechem, not Jelly no Puzzle.
-
@v21 but: I also find it the most beautiful, purest form of game design. It's where the idea of level design as conversation most shines.

Just saw the Bjork interview (pitchfork.com/features/interviews/9582-the-invisible-woman-a-conversation-with-bjork/) linked as "crazily feminist" (in a good way). But... it's mild? And cautious?

It talks about how she's saying this openly because the mood has changed. Others have broken the ground, she's joining in late.
-
This gives me a lot of hope.

@richlitt Whoa, I forgot you live there now. First week of March!

there's some non-obvious tangles between the trad vg idea of choice, internal state selections and node-travel in these models.
-
@_JakeTucker like, this is all true (and valid!), but this confidence is far more likely from those from a privileged position.
-
@_JakeTucker it's really good feedback to give out, but it's a reminder of how difficult from a curation can be.
