Gotta say that this looks pretty intriguing and look forward to playing it

Now enough reading comments and get coding

RemiD · October 20, 2019, 07:42:16

wrong thread, sorry !

@3dzforme>>curious to test your game !

iWasAdam · October 21, 2019, 08:28:20

I'm using a very small screen res (on my surface) and the window is too big - any way of making the default smaller?

3DzForMe · October 21, 2019, 08:41:05

Yep, 1st on my list of bug fixes!

I confess there's some Gremlins to address, IDEal is the IDE I use, I even spent time losing one of the backdrops to apologize for the need of a day one patch! I'm no software conglomerate, so it may stretch to day 2 to 5,

IDEal can you the last DIR you worked from, causing serious version control hell and hair loss!

iWasAdam · October 21, 2019, 08:54:25

excellent

I've got that work thing to go and do shortly...... might squeeze another small compilation out this morning - no promises though!

Will have a fresh compile out sometime in the next 4-5 days - gotta go away with work.

Could you make a video (YouTube or whatever) of you playing your game for a few minutes?

I don't seem to be getting anywhere with it!

Did you get any Player 2 AI working in the end?

Yeah it seems very buggy, the water floods and I drown for a start. But apparently you press 2, not 1 for a 1 player game (so AI is the other player).

Yeah, terribly sorry, I'm squashing bugs as I write this on the way to work on the train. Hope fully the competition s still have a bug fix week, yes, the AI will kill you in......2 player mode (at the mo) and the logic to let you evade the water is also requiring a bug squash. My team, eh that'll be me then, is on it in between work.

Good luck with the bug fixes, upload again before the bug fix deadline so we can help spot any more bugs before judging.

3DzForMe · October 22, 2019, 09:21:42

Cheers, I usually like to appreciate the view s from the train, am setting for glimpses. My son said the instructions cube was crap, the camera view didn't let you see it... At least that's fixed, and 1 starts a .. 1 player game now. Still a farmload of bugs to squash. Sorry for not...

Must be pretty cold in your train as you wear a hat

Hope you enjoy your coding mojo covering more and more of your spare time - but please take a look at the daylight every 1 or 2 hours

..... Providing a 800 X 600 version I was Adam, not worth uploading another version until I squish bugs. How can a 12 month old train from Peterborough to Gatwick not have power outlets! Looks like I'LL see a bit of the view after all!

It was bloody cold this morning, the train was late, and I'm fighting of the lergy still, a whisky chaser at Portsmouth harbour should help there!

Unplug one of the surveillance cameras ... they are surely some kind of AC powered

Not far from you (globally seen

) and we have 20+ °C here in Germany (short throusers and shirt - in West European October).
BTW our ICEs have one between the seats - under the arm rests. IC or EC you must be lucky to have "German waggons" as they most of the time have some.

Maybe you should look for a second pack of laptop batteries. Or if you are brave and have Wifi on the train: use your phone or a tablet to code via VNC at a remote compute

See, I (could) use my phone as a mobile hotspot to email my .BB s to my work laptop, then hotspot to my work laptop... But work are a bit precious about that, so.... I'm going to work on designing a car port for the side of the house, might do it Friday..... But wait... I could be bug fixing, however I also have a dead mini for want of an alternator....... Decisions, Decisions. My daughter's driving test in t-minus 2 weeks, that's why we bought the mini!
