That's it, everyone, we've lost.

Day 5 - Just started. No art yet. But there's blood. Lots of blood. And pbags. More to come soon.

So... The blood is... yours? some kind of sacrificial offering? only in your twisted fantasies? what?

I was beginning to run into crashes, and I noticed that the release notes for one of the last two versions (500.1213 or 500.1212) there was a bug fix with a note about "frequent appearance changes due to animate() would crash DS" (or something like that)

I updated to 1213 yesterday, and so far no crashes. I haven't put it to a stress test, though.

Yeah, I'm using 1213 as well and it's crashing without fail. I was trying to create an effect where wall turfs will jiggle around when something hits them:

    Animate()
        transform *= 0.75
        animate(src, transform = null, time = 5, loop = 1, easing = ELASTIC_EASING)


It crashes with 10 objects that are bouncing back and forth between walls, and not particularly fast (maybe 5 to 8 animate() calls per second)

Why does this only work when it is in a separate proc? When I used it in mob/Bump(atom/o) and did all of that (except with o. before things, of course), it gave me a "no named args" runtime error, but when I moved it to a procedure contained by /atom, it worked just fine?

Teka updated the front page with some HTML phooey. Now we have a clock!

The blood is just a particle effect when you shoot things. There's a lot of it. It's just red squares going everywhere. I made pbags as place-holder dummy enemies. And also as a joke.

Tonight was pretty productive. Per-pixel collisions means I can create slopes and not have to do a whole lot of fancy math.

turf
    var
        slope = 0.5
    proc
        get_slope(x)
            return src.slope*x


Maths.

That looks great.

If you mentioned this kind of thing in Chatters instead of gotten offended by my asking "why you had to reinvent the wheel just to post a gif of the simplest square collisions," things would've gone smoother.

As for avoiding math, stop that.

Make the box tilt in the same slope as the slope. :o

Heh I wrote something like that for a java game before, where the landscape was polygonal and the objects moving along it would rotate to match the surface normal.

A bit of animation work done.

Kaio, -drop it.-

Just realized I wasted a week. Attempting to recover lost time, will see what I can salvage. My original idea was in no way going to cut it, and was just eating too much time.
