    How have you changed in the last decade?

    Can I ask what field/line of work were you in that you retired at 57? Did you want to, or were you encouraged by management? Also, how did you manage to break your foot so thoroughly?

    Whats rustling your jimmies?

    Yeah they're percents, but I think the numbers are more different than 70M vs 69M. Taking an average of US Census 1960 + 1970 (179,323,175 + 203,302,031 / 2 = 191,312,603) * .43 of population = ~82M vs 2000 + 2010 (281,421,906 + 308,745,538 / 2 = 295,083,722) * .23 of pop = ~68M Averages...

    Whats rustling your jimmies?

    Smoking rate, in US, amongst adults from 1965-2007 is down about 20% from ~43% to ~23%. As for jimmie rustling, Firefox v29. Firefox needs to find their balls (that they lost around the time they switched to Chrome-like numbering), stop chasing Chrome and re-establish their own direction.

    Ludum Dare

    I didn't make it. I had the gameplay working with a sonar game, but it was just boring as shit. Switched Saturday night to a "Free Diving" concept, but just didn't have enough time to execute on it.

    Ludum Dare

    Theme is "Beneath the surface". I've decided to do a puzzle sort of game. You have a downward sonar that pings off underwater (invisible to player) objects. The player then has to drop sonar bouys to mark the tops of the underwater mountain peaks. The player is then scored based on accuracy...

    So can anyone explain the actions/abilities and button slots to me? I just hit level 10 on a Templar and am using a bow. There's buttons 1-5, Q and R. What is R for? I can't put anything there. I now have 8 or so abilities I'd like to have on the action bar (I imagine it'll grow even more)...

    Played a bit yesterday. Encountered two quest bugs (ground spawns not being clickable). Complete speculation on my part as I don't have enough data, but got around them by doing the following: -Played with girlfriend in a group (we've friended each other ingame as well). -Drop group, both...

    My new game - Tornado Time for iOS and Android - 3D physics tornado destruction

    Not at this time. Neither of us have a Kindle device, so we're waiting to see how it does on iTunes and Google stores before going anywhere else (our sales to date wouldn't even pay for one Kindle device). We may go for Win8 Phone and Microsoft App Store next, as MS is currently courting Unity...

    My new game - Tornado Time for iOS and Android - 3D physics tornado destruction

    Thanks for trying it out and rating. We're discussing the possibility of a few more levels. It's more difficult than you might think as: 1) We want to keep things at a cartoon violence level, so no people or anythingtoomean (hospitals, orphanages or puppy factories) 2) Has to be an...

    IT/Software career thread: Invert binary trees for dollars.

    Well you've had other real CS types already reply. I did also have some schooling (course on VAX basic and another C++ in HS), plus a year of C++ in college. Plus I've been tinkering with games all the way back to Tie Fighter with hex editor based ship editors. I am definitely not as strong a...

    Cool, let me know what you think! Haha, yep, exactly. I remember trying to explain to my British partner why Dick Cheney, I don't think he ever got it. It's a shame your iphone is too old (it's best on an iPad tbh), but perhaps some day! Thanks very much.

    IT/Software career thread: Invert binary trees for dollars.

    I wasn't going to reply to the thread as I didn't do the CS degree route (I did a BS in Bio, minor in Information Systems), and am self-taught, but I can say, unless you're 24 or something (since you're on the GI Bill I take it you're mid-late 20s minimum), you might want to reconsider that...

    Just a correction on this as I wasn't quite accurate before. Been re-reading some stuff since Unity 5 was just announced. $100,000 is a figure that does come up, it applies to organizations: Entity Size Restrictions for Unity Free Unity Free, which include the free platform add-on...

    Thanks Tenks! That sounds cool just from the "x + y" concept. You should pursue it if you can, even if it's one hour a week, it'll be more likely to get done (or far enough to see if it'll work) than never working on it.

    Haha nice. Thanks so much for playing. We'll be pushing an Android update in the next day or two, but just to add a "Quit" button to the menu, since apparently that's a thing Android games/apps generally have.

    My new game - Tornado Time for iOS and Android - 3D physics tornado destruction

    Glad you enjoyed it. What device are you running? There was a problem with version 1.0 (was released on the 6th I believe) on the iPhone 4 that caused the end of round points not to show, but that should be fixed with v1.0.1 from yesterday.

    My new game - Tornado Time for iOS and Android - 3D physics tornado destruction

    Don't worry about it, this isn't exactly a prime promotional spot (far better places to do so), just wanted to share my excitement about the release. And I love talking development. Unity recently released a 2D version which has made it a good (or better? than previously) choice for...

    My new game - Tornado Time for iOS and Android - 3D physics tornado destruction

    Thanks. Unity has its ups and its downs. We, my partner and I, both have Unity Pro ($1500) as I'm in the US and he's in the UK and it is just easier that way (and we do non mobile stuff quite a bit that requires the pro features). Unity also requires separate licenses for mobile platforms and/or...

    Whats rustling your jimmies?

    I've got an S3 as well, and it does the same for me. Are you using the built in browser? Have you tried a different browser like Fire Fox Android or Chrome? I just deal with it, but if it's a big enough annoyance for you, try one of the other browsers as the S3's built in is ~6 months out of...

    Doubt there's a surefire way, but I will mention what's worked for me (assuming you don't want to eat Fear Factor type foods). I was a picky childhood eater. A few things helped me: 1) You first have to actually want to change - Just like learning math, sometimes you just have to buckle down...

    Sutekh's C++ +More Thread

    Short answer is: yes. If you don't have other requirements that make you need C/C++ you're probably also better off with an easier language. If you want to stick with a C family language, C# has great built in string handling. Python should be able to do it too no problem. Could even use php...

    '=' is assignment e.g. int x = 1; '==' is evaluation (equal) e.g. if(x == 1) Though inforloop, you've got three parts (they probably have different technical terms btw) So when reading the condition, you can read it as (I know I do) "while counter is less than 21". So for it to be "while...

    I'm never sure if anyone is serious around here, but if you are legitimately looking for a solution Tuco, here's a shot. First, unwind your loops. That usually can save you time. From my experiences it's faster to calc x and y each iteration in a single loop than multi looping. I'm not...

    The Elder Scrolls Online

    I'm far more forgiving than most posters here, but I was not impressed this weekend. While I enjoyed crafting this time, there seemed to be more bugs, as several of the quests I had as a level 11 in the Aldmeri area were bugged and not spawning. So that basically made it impossible to advance...
