Total Conversion

With my road I generate planes in code which end up being the road tiles (like scalextric pieces). Sometimes I have the challenge that my player object can't make the ramp between 2 pieces. - > ______o----------- In essence the player gets stuck in the geometry. What could also happen is the diff in steps are such that -- > ______ ____ o-> Player falls through geometry. I'm having to calculate a slope between the 2 points using pythagoras and generating an intermediate sloping plan. I have to space the steps further aprt. ___________ / / ___ / Sorry for the ascii. It's late and my mind is a bit Destiny2 frazzled. Having to work on the sloping bit, I realised that I haven't used Pythagoras since high school. Did the pythagoras rotation calculation earlier in c#. I need to create the plan and do the spacing tomorrow. Hope it works! BTW, I have it running on my phone now, which is a rea...

So, I'm not sure how we're going to do this, but I wanted to kick this off and say that my idea was to get "something" in the Google Play Store before I turn 50. I thought by now it would be done, but here we are. I decided to use Unity / C# as I had been teaching myself Android Xamarin dev anyway and the skills were transferrable. I broke the problems I needed to solve into a bunch of technical bullets and for most of them, I have code that works. * Procedurally generated road * External geometry for the road loaded via .csv * Input control that works on keyboard, controller (windows) and accelerometer (android) * Ability to play sounds / music simply * Level management * Title screen * Options screen * Replacing .csv with sqlite I have code most of the above. I'm not sure if any of it is worth sharing and most of it comes from Brackey's Tutorials, but I'm willing to share what I've written or answer any questions on anything I've written. I...

#^&% it. If you're going to get the Cure in your feed this morning, why not the rela thing. Just put this on and drift. Good set. #TheCure #Live https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ckdHyuPZY8s https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ckdHyuPZY8s

One more. I really love the entire Disentegration era of the Cure more than any other part of their career. I also remember seeing Lily Allen at Glastonbury, beer in hand, singing in the rain. Love the attitude and voice. Then this one appeared in my playlist a few years ago and made itself at home. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZTWIn7An678 #TheCure #Cover #LilyAllen https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZTWIn7An678

Wanted to do something Cure related. If I was lying in a hospital bed somewhere, I think I need more of the Cure. #lame #TheCure #Cover #Adele https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i5bpYECjPJ4 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i5bpYECjPJ4

One last one that I couldn't resist. I love the odd Depeche Mode instrumental that comes along now and then. Nothing to Fear is one of those tracks that gave Dave a chance to have a drink and a massage while the boys just ignored the crowd and were head down in the synths playing this track. You rarely get to see Andy Fletcher's hands on the keyboard in videos, but here you get to see him holding down the bassline. It's an old clip of an early track, but I love this track! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mjI-Dlw7vs4 As a bonus, when I played it on YouTube, the next track was My Secret Garden, so just let it play... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mjI-Dlw7vs4

To finish my trilogy of People are People versions, this is one by Jonas Öberg. A few years ago Alan Wilder sold off his old DM samples and Jonas bought a bunch of disks in the auction. This remix is his version using the same samples (and others) and is a modern interpretation. It is a much more traditional sounding mix, but remade with newer tech. Really nice version. One of the YT commenters says Alan should be in the pic and I 100% agree. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_PmCOSkeIWc #depechemode #peoplearepeople #alanwilder https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_PmCOSkeIWc

Time to piss off some people. I present to you Are People People https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GmD0dd3NV38 Release by DM after what must be a virus wiped there floppy disk of a remix of People are People. Somebody probably used Norton Undelete and had to manually rename the files and got them wrong. My favourite lyric: Da da da dang zuum zuum zuum bab bab bab.. (see if you make it that far). I know G+ doesn't have a -1 button, but feel free to type -1 in the comments. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GmD0dd3NV38

I'm normally absolutely against mixes that bear very little resemblance to the source material's mood, but I can't resist this one. I love People are People in it's original percussive noise form, but this version is just so trippy and the vibe is so much at odds with the lyrics, it just feels almost sarcastic. https://youtu.be/iibKLJmJpVg https://youtu.be/iibKLJmJpVg

There are 2 book bundles on humble bundle at the moment. One for Cryengine and one for DevOps. Hope it's useful for some of you.

Another 5 mill bounties for Null at Conway. Not bad for Carrying 2 nights of non-cashed-in other factions bounties. Probably another 3 mill at least. Combat rank +1% Danie van der Merwe Earlier I posted this in the wrong group and had to delete the post. Oops.

Can somebody please invite Cmdr BuzzLiteBeer Garnet Prince to the Null Elite Private Group. He's a good wingman (although a bit shy).

One of my infrastructure projects at home is an Unraid NAS. I started the trial with unraid and my hardware wasn't suitable, so I should get it back after the trial expires. I will probably ask for an extension! Anyways, I ordered desktop components + notebook RAM. Bought and paid for, my mistake. The vendor just let me know that they think I ordered the wrong RAM and suggested a change (AFTER the fact), but before shipping. There's a slight price adjustment, but no horrific realisation when the delivery happens. I'm really impressed with the service. Thanks WOOTWARE! #unraid #goodservice #kudos www.wootware.co.za http://www.wootware.co.za

I'm an old school (Basic, Pascal, Delphi) programmer / networking / infrastructure guy who actually enjoys programming ;) For work I've transitioned into C# .Net via VB.Net to the point that I'm doing a fair amount of it in different spheres including Android. Despite being inexperienced at C# / Mobile, I have been informally helping colleagues along and feel like I am helping them getting over hurdles that were making them afraid to get involved. Lately I've discovered Unity and I'm finding it almost revolutionary. Random posts on this forum have lead me to believe there are more of you lurking here who might be interested to walk this journey with the rest of us. I invite you to watch the following tutorial(s) on youtube to get a sense of how easy/hard it would be to learn how to do something graphical and hopefully fun. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j48LtUkZRjU&list=PLPV2KyIb3jR5QFsefuO2RlAgWEz6EvVi6 Please post in the comments if you want me to STFU abo...

Are any of you interest in being part of a coding sub-community of GGG+ One of the things I enjoy most about G+ and the communities that formed around Elite Dangerous has been the gathering of personalities that seem to share a lot of hobbies and interests. Many walks of life and philosophies interested in overlapping topics like music, tv, movies, humour, food, wine, etc. One of my hobbies has always been coding. The past is littered with 100's of started projects and abandoned code. Clearly, I haven't been an 'completionist' or 'achievement unlocked' kind of person in this regard. I guess in my case, I was not able to sustain that level of drive and enthusiasm for most of those pet projects. With Unity, I've found a system that allows me to express my gameplay idle thoughts as something tangible and I've started watching tutorials and putting objects on the screen and animating them. The results have been quick and rewarding and I'm starting t...

My Anaconda wip build.

Is there a post summarising the Felicia Winters attempted expansion into LTT 4961. I was a dumb grunt in the fight. Don't really understand the nuances of the alliances forged and the coordinated response. Would hate to see it forgotten. Newer players might find it interesting. If I think of the teamspeak chats on Suzie's server that must have some fun strategising and negotiating on it.
