[QUOTE=Matte;31975636]I was inspired by dajoh, so I started making my own boot loader as well.

Well, I'm not writing the bootloader (I use QEMU's one, with the -kernel command line option), I'm writing the kernel/OS.
But uh, nice work :D

Its a gravitational attraction simulator for 400 particles/stars. Currently there is no user interaction, and the mass of a star isnt represented by size or colour (this matters because stars absorb when they collide).

Its a big bang simulator! Due to the universe not being perfect and leaving a few atoms out of place, they pulled eachother together due to the inbalance and gravity made the stars and then we are here
But yours looks buggy

Are the stars supposed to fly off in random directions when they merge? I'm guessing this has something to do with the extreme acceleration they experience as they get close to eachother, but obviously collision should cancel that out.

Oh, ok. I'm most likely going to try making a kernel myself, once I get my bootloader to recognize FAT (as in actually doing what a bootloader is supposed to do :v:).

Yes, the acceleration should cancel it out. Any ridiculous speeds seem to be as a result of two stars passing very close to each other, not actually merging

Speaking of big bangs, I have a question. I know this isn't really programming, but w/e. Theoretically, in a really long-ass time from now, wouldn't the gravity of everything in the universe draw everything in the universe into a single point? This point would be infinitely small, and would contain all the matter and energy in the universe. Since it contains all that in a single point, wouldn't that mean that when it exploded, it would explode in a predictable way? And doesn't that mean that I have typed this many times in the past, and will type it infinite times in the future? Wouldn't the universe expand because of the force of the big bang, then contract to a single point, then expand...ad infinitum? Sorry if that doesn't make sense...

Oscillating universe is the name i think, or something like that
And, at this point the gravitational attraction of the universe as the whole doesnt seem to be large enough to cause a "big crunch".The evidence points towards that this is the first big bang and that its not going to un-big bang itself

The universe is constantly expanding, so most likely not.
here's an interesting question
should GameGoal win the level when it detects a GamePlayer touching it
or
should GamePlayer win the level when it touches a GameGoal
I usually try to avoid cluttering GamePlayer.
either one works fine, it's a bit of an ethical discussion at most......i used to have the win logic in GameGoal but i moved it to GamePlayer which would make more sense if there are multiple players
[QUOTE=Map in a box;31978878]The universe is constantly expanding, so most likely not.[/QUOTE]

Well, who wins the game? The goal or the player?

GameGoal. Its the purpose of the goal for it to do win logic.

Of course, the big crunch/oscillation universe theories are just a drop in an ocean of the crazy shit physicists have thought up.

that's the type of thinking that leads to absolutely nothing actually getting done :v:
at least IMHO, could be different for others

Smoothed the edges of stars and made them circular, now they combine when properly within the radius of the star (rather than arbitrary distance), stars now have a certain amount of lifespan which is vastly decreased the larger the star is (prevents large stars nomming everything and is realistic as well), and visible star size is now based on how massive the star is

[QUOTE=danharibo;31979887]You could have a factory system for creating different types of wins![/QUOTE]
Maybe we can have a base virtual win class that you can inherit from so that you can implement various win routines for the different types of win. Then you can create a win list (polymorphism hooray), full of all the different types of win to make it easy to check for the various wins. Your code, by this point, would be quite literally full of win

How would you append the hash of a file to a file without changing the hash it already has? Cause:
CRC32 a file, prepend it. Oh no because you did that the crc32 changes. Might as well do this til the end of time!
