@mtrc very few are open-sourced (as opposed to just having source visible), very few on GH. CBDQ doesn't have a central listing either...

@mtrc found some searching for "cheapbotsdonequick.com/source", others linked in the example bots list.

if anyone wants to come by Somerset House tomorrow night and play Fabulous Beasts, hmu. (or subsequent weeks)

Just think: if we do really well at this, no-one will notice it was difficult at all.
-
(that's not true, I have enough game developer friends who appreciate intuitive UI. (and who have seen the current one))
-
@KommanderKlobb yeah, just redid a bunch of work from yesterday, and wow that stuff was janky (and vastly better than what we had before)

@patrickashe @IsobelJournal damn, you're always one step ahead of me... ordered mine this afternoon.
-
@IsobelJournal @patrickashe ahhh, wonderful! excited for it!
-
@gothdome was considering it - will try to! depends on whether we have a set free.
-
@radiodario @ElectricObjects yeah! I should. There's a page containing them rn, actually: cheapbotsdonequick.com/source/softlandscapes
-
@radiodario @ElectricObjects rendering can be pretty slow (even on my machine) cuz of the big 'ol blurs... dunno if it'll be problematic.
-
@radiodario not at all! I was just about to look into formatting etc for the EO myself.
-
iZombie just had a bit where a man hides a gun in a dresser. On the top of the dresser is a copy of "Uncle Vanya". I'm enjoying this show.
-
bot of the day: @bookonbalcony bots are often about serendipity, randomness, incomprehensible machinery here's one powered by weather
-
@KommanderKlobb yes, though i doubt they'll reach it. Compare with OS X, on the same path but a year or so ahead.
-
@KommanderKlobb Running unsigned binaries is becoming a thing developers and hobbyists do, not a mainstream thing.
-
@KommanderKlobb I don't think those platforms enter into their strategic thinking much.
-
@KommanderKlobb Like, even on iOS, games are just a thing that's happened, and occasionally Apple remembers and gives them a plug.
-
@ojahnn I was prompted to do this by telling coworkers about it. They thought it was beautiful.

Wait, but. If the slipper tree produces only a single pair of slippers a year, then how comes there's brand new shoes for you AND me?
-
@semanticist well, the childcare probably needs some decent sponsor cash, but otherwise, yeah. 😕
-
@semanticist definitely agreed! just thinking about community confs like gamecamp.org.uk/about/ without a real budget.

I have never read a more interesting interview conducted by a more insufferable interviewer yessaid.com/interviews/94-05Q.html

-
except i don't know what perfect execution is necessary to get the beat to drop

@BJFrith yeah! have a look at the bottom of cheapbotsdonequick.com/source/softlandscapes - it's hacky, but that's part of the fun.

@Shrubbette current mood : flat grey British sky.
-
@UnburntWitch the most important things I learnt were the details of the event lifecycle and how serialisation works.
-
@UnburntWitch best tip? Maybe [ContextMenuItem], and generally being able to test stuff without fully hooking it into a larger system.
-
@UnburntWitch oh, and AnimationCurves are wicked cool for letting you just draw the relationship between input and output.
-
@UnburntWitch oh, and discovering LINQ was one of the most important things to happen to me as a programmer.
-
@FlorianVltmn we have a (single) room going in our flat from June 20th to August. Dunno if that's useful?
-
@FlorianVltmn ah, okay! Our lease is actually up in August - I don't know if there'll be space here from then, or possibly I'd be looking.
-
@FlorianVltmn which is not super helpful - but let's talk when you are around and maybe there'll be something there?
-
@jwaaaap I've been on a real Strugatsky kick recently - I think I've realized a thing I love in scifi is mundaneness, a sense of normality.
-
@jwaaaap assume you'd have read a bunch of these... Day of the Triffids (and Wyndham generally) is perfect for this.
-
@jwaaaap I love the sense of the everyday lives of various strata of society in The Space Merchants (beautiful offhand worldbuilding)
-
@jwaaaap shoutout also to Chocky, which takes this if anything further.
-
@jwaaaap Constellation Games is the best scifi book I've read about videogames.
-
@jwaaaap Of course, LeGuin. I kinda want to reread The Dispossessed again now.
-
@jwaaaap there's a strand of children's TV I grew up with that had protagonists who treated very weird things very straightforwardly.
-
@jwaaaap which feels very British, very childlike and very real. Examples: youtube.com/watch?annotation_id=annotation_495760&feature=iv&src_vid=lVbQco001_M&v=oNTIBBYf9C4, Woof!, The Queen's Nose.

@jwaaaap oh, and last one: One of my favourite books is Stand on Zanzibar by John Brunner. I love the way the collage of scenes builds up.

@shahidkamal I am. It takes an indeterminate amount of time after that - first build took maybe 12 hours?

@shahidkamal (this is iOS) still useful, but that's mainly just because Testflight is so cumbersome by comparison.

@hannahnicklin for that matter: here's all the times people have said "rhubarb" to me (or I've said it) on Twitter: twitter.com/search?q=v21%20rhubarb&s=09
-
@JKSTRSSR some trees depend on fire... I guess the sound of burning lasts longer, but with a smaller peak.
-
@JKSTRSSR do redwoods fall cleanly? That feels important.
-
@KommanderKlobb @JKSTRSSR I think this road leads to us discussing the intentionality of plants, which I'm okay with.
-
@KommanderKlobb @JKSTRSSR (though no-one better step up with "they've evolved to do that, which is the same as wanting to")
-
@KommanderKlobb @JKSTRSSR if the seed pod plant does it once and then dies? If the fire plant needs to burn so it's seeds can germinate?
-
@KommanderKlobb @JKSTRSSR where do you draw the line from external influence - even seed pods are a response to environmental conditions
-
@KommanderKlobb @JKSTRSSR nah - germination rate are often tiny, chances of maturation are often tiny. Excludes too much.
-
@LeeShangLun @KommanderKlobb @JKSTRSSR in truth I just wanted to make this prophesy self-fulfilling @v21/741035243847733248

We've been playtesting Fab Beasts for a while, and doing it kind of ad-hoc - which is working, but maybe we could be doing it better?
-
So - any good resources on toy playtesting? Or stuff I should definitely read on videogame or boardgame or live game playtesting?
-
Current process is generally: talk as little as possible, lurk in the corner, take notes. Think about: what do people do, understand, enjoy?
-
@nickludlam that's generally my take... but I'm curious if there's more we could be doing.
-
@fastramdesign drunk people can be useful for this! But actually I don't care that much (at the moment) about what people say.

Nice Irish phrase I heard today: "soft weather". ie grey and raining.
-
@new_nomad to play, or to run the playtest?
-
I am not that good at imagining I'm a new player approaching the game. Playtests are actually mainly useful for helping with that.
-
Half the problems I see I see before they happen. But I couldn't see them until someone else was sat there.
-
Maybe I should try rubber duck playtesting.

@new_nomad hm! That's an interesting thread to pull on, thanks!

@Gib 100mb

@ojahnn yep. the most famous person involved in a project gets most of the credit.
-
@Nifflas I like that less well... it makes me think of ranges of numbers (ie lists), not a range a single value could be within
-
RT @OhPoorPup: It's fun to joke and play about the Boston Dynamics robots but they are very clearly and specifically designed to have guns…
-
@LichLike i have found poly relationships to help with this, too. let's actually decide what we want, rather than assume.
-
@TylerCallich @thricedotted thank you! This means a lot to me.
-
AIs are pretty good at optimising things. The tricky bit is deciding what they should optimise for. @neiltyson/748157273789300736

FPTP trains us to vote really weirdly. @tamewhale/748136206064549888
-
@mattlaschneider @deer_ful FPTP + constituencies, I guess. Even BBC election night coverage gave percentages per voting area.
-
@mattlaschneider @deer_ful mmm, definitely emphasises geographic over demographic splits.
-
@JoeHilgard where's this from?
-
@JoeHilgard thanks! i've been reading a bunch on children's play recently, so it caught my eye.
-
RT @slimedaughter: I wonder if there are streamers who feel like they can't afford to have private experiences with media anymore
-
@TomLondon6 McDonnell is more leaderly - but a big component of Corbyn winning was his scruffy charm. McDonnell doesn't have the same fans.
-
RT @ADAMATOMIC: so far so good
-
@ADAMATOMIC beautiful

Hadean Lands: itch or iOS? My iPad is old and creaky, and doesn't have a real keyboard... but it's cheaper & portable & not where work is.

RT @rabihalameddine: Goodnight Lois Dodd, “15 Night Windows” (2016), oil on masonite, 18 1/2 x 10 1/2 inches

@mewo2 thanks!

Okay, this is unlikely, but politics is generally pretty unlikely these days. Labour Party splits, early election called, no majority...
-
... and a progressive coalition manages to scrape together enough MPs. Then it pushes through PR? This is a fun fantasy.
-
@hollygramazio ahh.. I really enjoy messaging @hannahnicklin when I'm in a games talk making facile Brecht references. Long may it continue!
-
@katierosepipkin I just noticed you dated the letter a year into the future, and I think that's pretty cute.
-
@john_brindle nah, i'm pretty up on Clippy these days
-
it's hard to "surf the net" these days
-
@tullyhansen they cling on! even if only in a kinda ironic way stephenssausageroll.com/
-
@HarryGiles yess! really excited for this. yes yes yes
-
i got new trousers and they make my bum look good
-
i have been trying to restrain my tweeting about Events, but what. just what. what next.
-
is this an implosion contest?
-
I don't know. Gove, May - it's an impossible choice. I'll just have to hope that when I flip the coin that it somehow explodes and kills me.
-
@KommanderKlobb yep, it's Black Books. looking up the exact quote for that tweet and the choice was apparently between walls & radiators.
-
@hellocatfood remember things, forget things... make your mind up
-
okay, i'm going to try to do some work for a bit now. can you try to not have any more politics happen in the next few hours?
-
@leighalexander @nextthingco oh okay fine i've bought one (now i wish i'd done so a few months back when i was looking longingly at it)
-
Bought a PocketCHIP. Might see if I can hack up a version of Beasts of Balance for the Pico-8.
-
@infovore I mean, it's actually just a super-cheap ARM Linux thing. But it comes with Pico-8 preinstalled & officially supported.
-
@alexhern A Paradise Built In Hell
-
@alexhern I'd probably actually go with "moving" or "compelling"? But close enough.
-
@ssssyg not true on both counts
-
@alexhern getting in the audience at a Question Time and yelling pointed questions about the timing of Article 50.
-
@mousefountain some a post commending zootopia for animals putting headphones where their actual ears are
-
@chipzel i dunno... I'm reminded of en.wikipedia.org/wiki/They_Shoot_Horses,_Don't_They%3F_(film). things are admittedly less grim than that.

@ADAMATOMIC @Nifflas @ColinNorthway @zachtronics the sometimes dispiriting/sometimes inspiring part is seeing markers for friends scores
-
@jsinsheim I loved Kissing The Witch
-
update: i got it on itch and it's drawing me in slowly but surely. i may be rarely naturally compelled by mastery, but learning shit gets me
-
@notquitereal remember picking up a crucible in school. Looking at it in my hand - "this is going to hurt in a second"
-
@hentaiphd oh shit... i really should have prioritized getting this tutorial in...

@polclarissou this video makes my heart ache just a little. dling now.

it's a tough decision! @corporabrackets/748577032058077184
-
@bzgeb i mean, yes. also if they're competition for the same role/attention, socially? or, just : familiarity breeds contempt.
-
@bzgeb i am way more harsh on faults in others that i've worked on in myself (i do try to correct for this)
-
@jonbro the IL2CPP stuff at least means XCode can do incremental compilation.
