I removed all alcohol from the house about a week ago (as in I drank it all and purposefully didn't go get more) and I'm slipping into existential crisis mode help

I miss turning my brain off

You've already been a week so you know you can at least go that long, if you need we're here for you man.

Why'd you do it anyway?

Now I remember why I hate roommates. Place smells like trash because roommate1 and his girlfriend made a bunch of food last night, overfilled the trash can and didn't empty it. So it sat all day in the heat today.

I want to be healthier. I'm not giving it up completely but having less is sure to be good for my body and my mind.

I could rent my spare room out and make $150-200 extra per week, but it's not worth it.

My roommates do annoying stuff like that sometimes, but I just have a conversation with them about it and that tends to be enough. Then again, I don't know how reasonable your roommates are, so...

Thank you for the offer. :) Good night!

I backed MN9 and have it on Steam right now, but I also got Kirby Robobot today so there is literally no reason to play MN9 until I beat that

My last experience with roommates was during my stay on a different campus for some program. The roommates were fine, but my experience there was marred by getting sick from bad pizza and then almost crapping my pants in a room filled with military veterans. Also I went to both senator's offices in the capital building and no one was there so I had to talk to their secretaries.

I played Night Trap as a kid. It's one of the first games that comes to mind when I think of Sega CD.

Sega CD had a few good games but it was full of FMV garbage.

My brand new computer died and Dell won't be able to fix it until the end of July. I was graciously lent a laptop, but damn is it slow and heavy. :(

How have y'all been?

It wasn't...at least not that last part. Sacramento is a bit more humid than it is down here but it still maintains the heat. Also there was something about ghosts because the other people on my floor were playing a prank on someone.


And I'd kill to get a mobile port of Night Trap. That game is so damn 80's it's hilarious. The vampires are dudes with stockings on their heads.

Bought the Humble Bundle the other day, haven't played anything yet. Why it doesn't have Cyberlip, Top Hunter, Burning Fight, KoM 2 etc... escapes me.

One morning it just decided to not turn on. It's about two months old too. :/

How do you find doing AI stuff? Is it hard? :O

I'm exaggerating a little. My AI is nothing too special. I'm basically just doing a creature that makes decisions about how to get around a (predefined) room but without ACTUALLY doing a pathfinding algorithm because that would require actual intelligence on my part.

I use sensors and place them around the room and they tell the unit how to react depending on what motion he's doing. E.g., if he's running and hits this sensor, do this jump with this power which will get him across this gap. It works because it's predefined.

Programming AI isn't all that hard. It's designing an AI where the difficulty comes in. You have to decide what you want the AI to think about, and in what order, with which preferences, et cetera. It's a lot of abstracting complex phenomena into simple considerations.

To that end, it's not much different from programming anything else in the game. Like making a character move and jump involves a lot of different parts (input polling, velocity tracking, effects of gravity, collision detection, triggering and running animation systems, et cetera) and putting all those systems together. The difference is that most of those systems are quite visible and obvious, whereas an AI is much more cerebral.

But it's fun to do and figure out.

aye I was never taught anything so I just sorta figured it out (such as "it" is for me). I just start at the beginning and have the unit check for what needs to be checked for and take an action and keep adding layer upon layer of decision making and conditions and stuff until it's unthinkably convoluted and I can barely understand it anymore.

Isn't that gonna cause your game to slow the longer it's on?
