"There are bugs" is also the next ten rules of programming, actually, in increasing font size and intensity of formatting. Rule 10 literally catches fire when you turn the page to it.

You have to turn the page to it because by rule 9, there's no longer room on the initial page to put more words.

Huh, that didn't happen to me. Maybe something was wrong with my copy of the rules.

[Frumple]

See rules zero through ten :V

There were bugs, and they didn't get printed. Reminds me when I had a bug while following a coding tutorial 8 or 9 years ago where I managed to lock up my computer for a good 15 minutes. That was fun. Maybe not so fun at the time, but it's a story to share at least. Was following a Derek Yu shmup tutorial for game maker (okay, it was scripting, same principle applies). I managed to accidentally make the ship object create more ship objects instead of bullet objects. Those ship objects made more ship objects, and they made it as fast as game maker fliped through frames, so a full second of hitting the shoot button created 2^30 ships or so.

Children of a Dead Earth has been greenlit on steam.

This shit looks unreasonably neat.

And hype go.

Spelunky was pretty damn solid.  Enjoyed that for many hours.

[Eric Blank]

That looks like it'll be fun. I'll definitely give it a try

[miauw62]

Yeah I'll keep an eye on that. Hyperrealistic games are always sort of iffy, but that looks like it has potential.

[Spehss _]

Man it sounds too good to be true. That features list made me geek out a bit.

Real Space Warfare - All of the combat is a physically and scientifically accurate simulation. Every railgun accelerates its armature based on numerical integration of force equations. Every propellant tank, filled or empty, affects the delta-v and the mass distribution of ships, affecting how the ship will tumble when torqued. Every projectile impact damages each tile of armor based on actual hypervelocity impact studies.

Real Technologies, Real Science - Every technology, from the Nuclear Thermal Rockets, to the Railguns, to the Magnetoplasmadynamic Thrusters, was implemented using actual equations from Engineering and Physics textbooks and white papers. Everything aspect of these systems, from the efficiency, to the size and mass, to power usage, are all derived from equations, not estimated or faked.

Extremely Accurate Orbital Mechanics - With an N-Body Simulator (the kind NASA uses to plot actual spacecraft trajectories), all orbital phenomenon from hyperbolic orbits, Lagrange points, and orbital perturbation are all correctly simulated. Spacecrafts can stationkeep orbits, or enter into free falling perturbed orbits. You'll never see the highly inaccurate Patched Conic Approximation used in this game, unlike other spaceflight simulators.

Completely to Scale - The solar system is modeled completely to scale. The sizes of all planets, moons, and asteroids are accurately enormous, and the distance between them is similarly mindboggling huge. Gravitational attraction is precisely modeled, and the extremely high orbital speed of your ships that results around low orbit of large celestial bodies is correspondingly correct.

It's sounding like Dwarf Fortress in terms of ambitious design goals.

Hopefully you won't have to be a supergenius to get far enough to die horribly.
It's too much to hope for that non-supergeniuses will be able to win.

[BorkBorkGoesTheCode]

This shit looks unreasonably neat.

Cautiously optimistic!

(It would have been neat if they did in-house experiments to get their equations instead of relying on textbooks.)

[IronTomato]

No. No khezu noises. Ever.

There is not a creature on the face of this Earth that is more worthless than a khezu.

[Tack]

People is probability, little one.

Probabilities that get mad if you calculate them?

7/10 times, yeah.
