If it's time trial based you may be better off with fixed height as there's less frustrations for the player dealing with button presses. It can be annoying when your time is stuffed because the game thought you held on to the button for too long and you jumped too high. Also, from a design perspective, you can create much tighter experiences dealing with a single jump height.
Mirror's Edge is fixed height, and that's the best time trial game I've played in many years.

I think i said last night in steam chat that no one plays sc2 anymore, you're 2 months late to the party!
But we do watch the koreans play it live streaming form 7pm :lol
I'm sure there might be a few around who may be up for a game or two but the korean tournament is on tonight, so you might be on your own.

... from the AFL thread in the OT. Anyone not on the list taking a side? Post your team and I'll add you.
I'll probably first try it without variable jumping and see how it goes. It's not too bad as it is and it is meant to be a simple game (that is already getting a bit too ambitious).Mar said:

I'll go Collingwood. I'm told they're choke artists. Having supported the Aussie team this last world cup, I feel I should continue the trend.

St. Kilda. Because really, it's the rest of Australia vs. Collingwood.

So Recruitment-AUS-GAF I need some help.
The company I work for are looking for a new development guy to help build and maintain databases among other things - we have tried advertising on seek and got a pretty weak response - do any of you know of any techy sites where we could post an advert??
Thanks

I had a ten-loss streak and basically never booted it up again. Plus, the singleplayer story was so disappointingly poorly written, it kind of made me bitter toward the whole experience.
I guess I could play way later tonight, but I'm so rusty at this point.

I suggest you go back and look at our discussion there for tips as it is very difficult to get one through this deal. I've been lucky enough to get a cheap Wii for a friend once, though.
Tell me about it. I had a ten loss streak and got knocked down to gold from platinum, now i am slowly working my way back up. Constantly losing is devastating in that game.
Also agree about the campaign. The story was lowest common denominator shit, though i think the missions themselves were quite fun.
Restart machine to try fix games for windows / F1 error.
Machine BSODs, YAY!
Trying to figure out wtf is going on but i'm a bit stumped. Some stupid error i've never seen before and most of the solutions are fuzzy at best. Might just have to reinstall a backup image and see how that goes.

EVERYTHING WORKS. I AM NOW PC GAMER AGAIN. WOT WOT WOT. SPOT OF TEA.
Thanks to all those who helped. All I hope is that I was more bearable than Kritz was.

Exactly. Though this way they get to sell another round of tickets :lol
i happen to agree with coming back 7days later, lots more sports should look at it. its a logistical nightmare but its the fairest outcome
you can't be split within the parameters of the sport on the day, go again.
It would have been incredibly cruel on whoever lost today in extra time.
We all feel empty when the fifa world cup ends with a shootout.
it's also in AFL incredibly rare. So the over-reactions from Collingwood right now is just ridiculous.
They know they are now favored to lose based on history and I for one hope that St Kilda gets up

I dunno, having two extra five minute halves would have been intense and thrilling football. The contest was already epic, could have been more.
But I'm not one to judge, as I'm a Saints fan and just wanted a result... but I just think that we could have seen something a lot more exciting in those ten minutes then what we might next week, especially if it's one-sided. Now if it's a draw next week, there will be two extra five minutes halves. Now THAT would be epic

and if its still a draw?
we come back again apparently

it's not fair on the players. overtime should be required in such a situation.
For those who care, I started game programming not too long ago and I began creating a game on Monday. I had this little idea of creating a platformer where players create levels and share them. The gameplay is time trial based, so you basically need to finish the level as quick as possible.
I'm planning on releasing a pre-alpha version only to AusGAF by the end of next week (depending on how much further I get that is) and am hoping some of you can try it out and give me advice on what to improve with the platforming
What I've done so far:
- Basic platforming engine (fixed jump height, fast-paced)
- Obstacles (only spikes which send you to last checkpoint but no enemies yet)
- Working online leaderboards (though no names yet)
- Map browser
- Time-trial ghosts (like in Mario Kart)
- Ability to create a level in Paint, save it as png and play it after converting it with a little script I created
Any level you create and complete automatically creates an online leaderboard no matter what the map is actually called, but any change to that map will generate a new leaderboard.
The struggle right now is the platforming, mainly the jumping. I like it and so did one of my brothers, but the other called it generic noob platformer 101 :lol
Look out for it in a week AusGAF!

What are you using to create it? SDL & C++?
A Python module called Pygame, which I think is built around the SDL library. I'm so familiar with Python and many of its functionality that even if I knew C++ I would have probably still used PyGame.Megadrive said:
Never thought of that. I won't be making any promises, but I'll try. Which OS? Linux? Mac?hirokazu said:Sounds cool. Bonus points if it's not Windows-only.
A note, don't expect to be blown away or anything. Keep your expectations low and you should be mildly entertained :lol

Yeah, pygame is a wrapper around SDL, but adds some more functionality. I tried using Python but hated the syntax so I gave up on it. Since Pygame is a wrapper around SDL, your game is already portable.

What happens to fans who happened to travel to the game from interstate? They get completely fucked over by this.
Not to mention people who can't afford to go again, or people who basically have to camp out to get tickets.
It's also not fair on the players and i am sure they would say the same.
Also no other sport is going to do this. You say they should consider it. I say they have considered it and come to the conclusion that its stupid.

It's not stupid, its the fairest way to settle it. I completely agree that its a joke the AFL are charging again (considering the already exorbitant prices).
It's something that is unique to the AFL. Victories in Extra Time/Shootouts never are seen as the same as Victories in normal time, because one team always is exhausted....

It isn't the fairest way to settle it because you're essentially playing the game over from scratch. The sweat and hard-work leading up to that day is what should be judged. If a fifth quarter is required, so be it, it builds off of the team's fatigue and everything they'd worked toward on the day.
