3000^th!

how much stuff still needs to be Drawn?

[Jackrabbit]

3001 is better. Not to mention 201. No, I do not have anything of value to add.

k, this seems fun like its going to be more fun that goonstation.

If Qwerty keeps up his good work, it definitely will be. Only limitation I see is BYOND - We will suffer its drawbacks no matter how good qwerty's work is, but it can't be helped.

Alright, I got a basic HUD done.

[Yanlin]

While we're at it, how about extending the visible range to beyond the current one?

[Jakkarra]

hey, my Icons Don't look so bad In-Game.

ill have the Hp icons done as soon as i can figure Dream maker out.

[cib]

The current view is 6, which makes for a viewport of 13x13 tiles. Many games use 7, which indeed fits today's screens more, but it's really up to qwerty.

For comparison, screenshots of 6, 7 and 8:

Well if you can make the HUD not interfere with the viewport, then make it as big as that lets it.

[cib]

You can set it to an arbitrary number, but you shouldn't forget about those people with smaller screens. Also, the larger the viewport, the higher the lag.

[qwertyuiopas]

SS13 uses 7, but then it puts a menu bar over the right and lower lines, and crowds the lower left corner.

I decided to go with 6 and put the menus "off-screen", If it doesn't really work with 6, all you have to edit is the hud's New(), as everything else that needs to uses those numbers.


And now it's back to work!
I have to get it accepting pipes as existing, and add more pipe types.
Then some job related things so that a) people can select jobs and b) they have something to do with them
Then finally a map redesign.

[Jakkarra]

here we are,




here they ALL are.

oh, i forgot to cut out the other stuff, sorry.

[cib]

Nice, I think I'm going to host your next update. Also, where's Johbson's server? =(

Jakkarra: Neat, I'll put it in right away.

[Yanlin]

Where's the 2nd belt slot? There should distinctly be left and right belt slots.

[Cecilff2]

For now, we should probably have a single backstory, which I can write too, if you guys want, but for our next update, I think Genetic additions would be the coolest. Going to need two sets of SE's, though, so SEa and SEb, I would guess.

Given the nature of the disease blocks, you could probably just bunch them into subblocks instead.  Either way works.

[qwertyuiopas]

Idea:
Give genetics more control, with increase or reduce rather than random.
MAybe even full control.

BUT at the same time, encode everything with an XOR with a diffrent part.
The specific part each is XORed with being randomized, like  the wires.

The function of each block should remain, but suddenly you will have to experiment to be sure that giving telekenesis doesn't also require changing blindness and hulk(each pro is given a single con XOR, so some cons are unconnected, and some are affected by almost anything. As it is an XOR, you simply XOR the pros it is linked to with the desired result value, but the challenge is identifying what diseases are affected by what pros.)

Example:
STUTTER = XOR(STUTTER, TELEKENESIS, HULK)
SOMETHINGELSE = XOR(SOMETHINGELSE, FIRE)
ANOTHERTHING = ANOTHERTHING
LASTONE = XOR(LASTONE, XRAY)

[Jakkarra]

anything else needing creating?

items perhaps? what the 'bots look like Holding certain items?
