Creativity / Game idea (up for grabs)

« on: April 17, 2013, 08:39:34 PM »

Each player starts with 10 bots. There is a battle field and 2 teams (2 players)
The person opens up the programming window and begins.
He can pick Python or Lua, and he begins. He codes the bots to the last detail. When they both finish they battle to the death. This is a competition of who can
A) code better
B) have more efficient code and
C) have the best life saving algorithms

here is a fun scenario:
Person A codes his bots to fire after every 10 seconds in front of the bots, then to move forward a bit and repeat. He puts his bots in a line and he hopes that it will act as a firing squad.

Person B codes his bots to do the same but any time a bullet is near them they crouch.

The battle starts, and person B wins in 30 seconds because Person A only focused on offensive code.

think about the possibilities.

« on: April 10, 2013, 07:58:24 PM »

I installed Anvi and avast! and both found some stuff, Anvi only found masm stuff though, and C:\END which I removed. Though it also found things like faxcool.exe which got removed and I'm pretty worried.

Modification Help / Little Ingame Browser

« on: April 03, 2013, 08:24:45 PM »

I made a little ingame browser using Awesomium and Python. It isn't very "feature packed" because Stack Overflow wont let me ask questions and I can't find any good documentation on Awesomium v1.7.5.0
Though here is what the protocol:
1) Torque connects to python
2) Torque sends URL
3) Python recieves URL, and runs a program called AwesomeStuff.exe path/to/save.png http://mondaycunt.com/yougetit.php
4) Awesome.exe does all the awesomium handling and saves the image
5) Python sends a ping command to Torque
6) Torque sets the current GuiBitmapCtrl to the new saved image.

I'll get pictures in a bit.
Though I want to do make the protocol this
1) Torque connects to python
2) Torque sends URL
3) Python recieves URL, and runs a program called AwesomeStuff.exe path/to/save.png http://mondaycunt.com/yougetit.php
4) Awesome.exe does all the awesomium handling and saves the image and creates a file depicting the location of each link and where the link goes.
5) Python sends a ping command to Torque
6) Torque sets the current GuiBitmapCtrl to the new saved image.
7) For every single link and position in the file, create an GuiMouseEventCtrl and make it so when you click it, it loads the link.

Modification Help / Class Functions not Working

« on: March 23, 2013, 07:38:33 PM »

I wrote some class functions and when I call them they appear not to be defined.
calling sqliteServer("data.db"); and it gives an error saying "Unknown command sql_connect."
What do?

Code:
function sqlite::sql_connect(%this)
{
   if(%this.ip $= "")
      %this.ip = "localhost";

   if(%this.port $= "")
      %this.port = "7212";
   
   %this.onConnect = "SEND CONNECT " @ %this.database;
   %this.connect(%this.ip @ ":" @ %this.port);
}

function sqlite::onConnected(%this)
{
   echo("Connected");
   %this.isConnected = 1;
   %connect = %this.onConnect;
   %this.onConnect = "";

   if(getWord(%connect,0) $= "SEND")
   {
      %this.send(getWords(%connect,1,getWordCount(%connect)));
   }
}

function sqlite::onDisconnect(%this)
{
   echo("Disconnected");
   %this.isConnected = 0;
}

function sqlite::sql_disconnect(%this)

Games / I just played Borderlands 2 for the first time

« on: March 22, 2013, 11:30:37 PM »

Ever since I built my new gaming computer, I have been fulfilling my dreams of the games I want to play. Borderlands 2 (never played 1) was on top above chivalry. let me say this game is AWESOME. I once demoed it on my friends alienware laptop but i didn't get the full immersion I got from my big monitor. I had my nice earphones in and had the resolution on something high and I never experienced lag. I'll add something about chivalry once I download it. Though this is how i rate it:
9/10: It didn't explain some things I didn't understand so It was a bit confusing in the beginning, though after some time I figured it out.

Off Topic / New Build and the internet is loving

« on: March 20, 2013, 08:42:50 PM »

Seriously, everything has been working so great. The internet was working great a couple of hours ago, I downloaded blockland and python and all these apps and I was playing blockland at max shaders with tens of thousand of bricks with 60FPS and then I go to dinner come back turn my computer on and...
pblew. Interwebs are broken :C. it is just kind of not working. I installed the LAN drivers because those were the most relevent things I could find. I have:
Gigabyte GA-970A-UD3
AMD Octo-Core 8150
I click i diagnose problems and it restarts the internet, then it is on but REALLY SLOW. Like unbearably slow. Then it'll break down. Please help guys, you are probably my only hope :C

Off Topic / My fancy calculator

« on: March 15, 2013, 10:12:41 PM »

I currently have the TI-84 Plus. I got this for free (long story) but it's retail price is $114. This thing is basically a mini computer. I can play loving fruit ninja on it. If anyone else has it, share your interesting stories with it.

Current OS: MirageOS
Current Apps:
- Fruit Ninja
- Pac Man
- Pong
- Slime Soccer
- Federal Elephant Control
- Paper Mario

If you don't see the advantages of this
imagine how much nicer it will be to space out playing pacman or playing fruit ninja during math class w/o your teacher flipping.
