Creativity / 'Tracing' Thread

« on: July 22, 2015, 11:43:10 AM »

I found that if you trace round objects, with the straight line tool on Paint.net on another layer, you can get some cool results.

EDIT: After creating this, I realised that if you want to do this, set the line to 'Anti-aliasing off'.

Modification Help / ( and { characters

« on: June 05, 2015, 04:29:22 PM »

Hi, I've been wanting to code in Torque, so I am viewing the tutorial, there are two characters I'm a bit confused about what they do, here is an example from the tutorial:

Code: [Select]

function helloWorld()
{
echo("Hello World");
}

I was wondering why you need '()' after the 'helloWorld' since you are naming a function, and also, could you tell me why you put '{}' around the object you wish to echo?

Thanks!

sorry we didn't use technology from the loving stone age, most of the time, 2010 kids can relate to them too.

AoT General / What were your first events when you got AoT?

« on: May 27, 2015, 06:32:28 AM »

I joined a server, and there was someone on it, (he played Blockland). He told me his username and I recognized it, He was swinging everywhere on buildings near the spawn while I ran round getting killed by monsters (I freaked out the first time I died as the scream when you die made me jump). We then worked as a team to complete the first level (To he honest, he did most of it). Then he lead me to the grapple hook, and he taught me how to swing effectively, then taught me some code you needed to input into the console in order to be able to buy things, and that's all I really remember.

Off Topic / Awkward Stories Thread

« on: May 22, 2015, 03:57:02 PM »

1) I'm on the toilet listening to a song I found on Facebook, dad connects to Spotify and it blasts "This ain't for no forget brother, if you a real brother then forget with me, this one for the hood brothers, hipster bitches that shop at Lenox" all out of my dad's phone through the whole house. He laughed for 2 minutes straight, but I didn't get in trouble, he didn't care.

2) My classroom was locked, so I had climb from an outside window to get in to get my bag (the window is about 1.4m high), I say to my friend, "Tell me if any teachers come" just as I say that, a teacher walks past and smiles at me, he obviously heard me but I went red when he left.

3) I was roughly 10 when this happened, we were learning about Queen Victoria, so we were in a computer room doing a project, then my friend, who was sitting next to me, asked a question, the teacher said she didn't know and that he should look it up, my friend reads the search out loud so that the teacher could tell him if he was getting the correct information, then I read the first thing that came up, which was the Victoria's Secret website, she awkwardly said, "No I don't quite think it's that", I still shudder about it to this day. I can't believe I said that.

Off Topic / My teeth are richards

« on: May 05, 2015, 04:03:33 PM »

So:

2011 - My bottom front teeth touch the roof of my mouth, I get a retainer to fix that and all is well.

2012 - 2015 Pointless trips to a stuff orthodontist.

Mid April 2015 - Transfer to a new orthodontist, they take 'prints' of my teeth, and due to my overbite I'll need Twin Block Braces

5th May 2015 - They contact us, I arrive today and they have it done already, and they fitted it. It's very uncomfortable, it hurts, I can't pronounce my 'S's and my mouth is producing lots of saliva. She said I would only need them for 3 - 6 months which isn't that bad, I've been wearing them for 5 hours now and I'm getting used to it. I'll need to wear these 24/7 except for sport and eating.

Next step - Once my overbite is fixed, I will have Train Track Braces for 6 - 9 months, just to straighten up my front teeth a bit.

After that - I will need a Retainer Brace (It's just a see-through mould which goes over my teeth at night to keep them from moving).
