Seems like designing a computer language for "good programmers" is an excellent way to insure that it remains a niche boutique language. Nothing wrong with that, unless one of your goals is a self-sustaining population of users. In my experience it seems a single good programmer is worth quite a fe...

... I'll pick this apart in detail at some point, but I'm fairly solidly done with batch. It's been an unnecessary time sink every time I touch it for years. I say that knowing my way around it fairly well. Just for a bit of perspective, consider the fact that it takes this much effort to do someth...

... There's some cool information in here, thanks for the detailed post. I didn't know there was a difference between :: and rem for f "tokens=* delims= " %%I IN ('do a system command') or for /f %%I IN (LIST.txt) do ( call :PROCESS %%I ) The problem here is the 'real time' requirement. Using a for...

Wednesday, February 15th, 2018 Allllright. It's been a little while since I've rambled on the forum so I figure it's time for an update. Plus, with Lindsey down for maintenance and Josh defragging the system someone's gotta keep y'all in the loop, right? It looks like PAX was a little more draining...

Because when I start on multiplayer I can guarantee you that a missed packet is going to cause crashes, and that's going to get super frustrating super fast. We wouldn't intentionally crash the engine in that case, so I'm assuming you mean the net result of ending up with bad data due to a missed p...

These days we have fancy try/catch blocks, or a general catchall UnhandledException to make sure the game keeps going and we can see more instances of the bug. Josh and I are both of the opinion that that's a one way ticket to crazy town. Exceptions have failed miserably. And continuing to run a pr...

what happens when theres heavy lag (for whatever reason), does it still catch all inputs and behave like expected or does it start dropping inputs? With the callback (which we'll be shipping on) and event loop usage patterns input is never dropped, no matter the framerate. For direct queries, altho...

Allllright. It's been a little while since I've rambled on the forum so I figure it's time for an update.

I'm not entirely sure that's Adam, by the way. *sniff* Talv doesn't even recognize me. I'm a nobody. How many visitors to the booth were impressed with the line "This is not really Limit Theory but believe us the real thing will be awesome"? That actually ended up being a pretty good approach. For ...

Do you think it would be worth it to create several similar slices of freeform-fun for different aspects of the game, with stripped down mechanics and interfaces? Possibly. I'd hope that that happens sort of naturally since you're going to have to research/acquire tech over the course of the game, ...

Thanks! Happy new year to you too. PAX was awesome . We had a steady crowd the entire time, people seemed to have a great time playing the demo, we ran into several Kickstarter backers, we spawned ludicrous number of ships and lasers, what's not to love? The booth was in a prime location this year w...

Well that won't do...

Where are Adams dev logs? Have I missed one since the 2nd, or did he get chased off? I really like what he had to say Not chased off, by any means. Just working on boring stuff at the moment. I should be done by Friday and I'll either post something small or delay until I start something that I can...

I think we have enough wall space to have this framed and hung.

Concerning this topic, whats the planned logic ticks per second for LT? (For RTS games I have found 16 Ticks per second to be more than enough. For a Racing game or Shooter, it probably should be around 60 or even higher though.) It's too early to tell at the moment. Such a model might make scripts...
