What are you working on? v19 - Developers

Oh! I had an idea for easily networkable variables: You have a NetworkableObject class that contains a value (int, bool, string, char, float mainly) and a name. This NetworkableObject is then added to a List of NetworkableObjects. Whenever the game notices the object has changed, it sends a packet containing the name of the object, the type of the object, and the new data.

Only because you broke mine!

[url]http://jimbomcb.net/spec/8/[/url] Does anyone mind checking if this actually loads in their browser? Will need websockets of course, chrome/firefox with it enabled/safari/opera. I'm having a friend tell me it's not loading but it's loading for me in all my browsers and I can't figure out why. If it does fail to load, can you let me know if you can see why/if you're getting any JS errors?

[QUOTE=Jimbomcb;30910980][url]http://jimbomcb.net/spec/8/[/url] Does anyone mind checking if this actually loads in their browser?[/QUOTE] Works fine for me :) I know this has been asked about 1000 times but what's the architecture for this system? Do you have a server plugin pushing out data or is it simply the client imitating a spectator?

Sourcemod plugin acting as WebSockets server pushing out data updates 10 times a second

Jimbom, how much programming experience did you have prior to this? This is the first thing you've posted in WAYWO to my knowledge.

[QUOTE=geel9;30910151]How do you guys do efficient networking? In the examples I've seen, you need a while(true) loop that captures incoming packets.

[QUOTE=geel9;30911448]Jimbom, how much programming experience did you have prior to this? This is the first thing you've posted in WAYWO to my knowledge.[/QUOTE] Really not that much? I don't know how other people learn stuff but I just get an idea and start messing around with whatever language it is until I get something working, and sometimes some of the stuff I do sticks. I've messed about with a lot of languages but wouldn't say I know much about any of them. All I do 90% of the time is just go and find some working bits of code someone else has done, jam them together into something new until I get something that functions.

That warning is in the jquery ui stuff which I'm not even using, forgot to take it out. The cart position is messed up for that map, it has an awkward bomb cart setup and the way I was using to get the cart position is broken because of it. I'll need to find another way to get the cart position.

Is Java really so terrible for games?

No

[QUOTE=theJohn;30912907]Is Java really so terrible for games?[/QUOTE] Depends on the type of game it's used for. For a performance or graphics intensive games such as FPS's (source games, CoD, crysis etc) it would be a very bad choice. For small web/mobile based games where graphics or performance are of less issue, it's more ideal.

Python or Java for game development. Which is preferable?

Neither is preferable if you prefer neither

Java is pretty much just as capable as many other languages, it really comes down to the programmer. Not gonna point any fingers here, but I think you all know who I might be talking about.

[QUOTE=ColdFusionV2;30911729]You talked about adding a documentation(wiki)(something like gmodlua has) for OpenGL functions, are you still gone do that? i thought it would be a pretty good idea.[/QUOTE] Yes, but later. It takes a bit more work to set up.

Working on a type of "Bot Net" Where the main computer takes a task and splits it up. It then tells other clients to do certain parts of the task. Prolly just going to use it for generating huge encryption keys.

Started working on porting SteamKit2 to C. [img]http://imgur.com/KpJlh.png[/img] [img]http://i.imgur.com/YTwq3.png[/img] Nothing special so far, the library can connect and authenticate with Steam2. Now onto blob parsing and the real deal, Steam3.
