[QUOTE=Chris220;29267198]Argh I find it so hard to come up with ideas normally, but then as soon as I'm working on something I start coming up with tons of other ideas which I really want to make, but doing so would mean stopping work on the original project! So annoying :v:[/QUOTE]
Same here. I find if you keep a notepad (physical\digital) and just jot down a brief description of the idea it really helps - so later you can go through your brief ideas and sort them out and expand upon them, when you have more time
Of course, once you have ideas, actually making them is the next problem :smith:

Got Box2D working with SFML:
[img]http://dl.dropbox.com/u/8226262/screen/box2d_test.png[/img]
The code is just temporary code that I quickly put together to try Box2D out. Sometimes the boxed tend to be misaligned, but that probably is the simulation inaccuracy.
I was surprised when I wanted to flip the view because Box2D y axis is the other way around. It as as easy as giving sf::View a negative half-size.
Also does SFML have some AA option or something? It looks quite ugly like this.

If you mean the mouse, the points have an offset (they spin around the clicked position)

I have this thing going with my brothers where, whenever they leave their computers unguarded, and I'm at their house, I change their desktop wallpaper to a picture of a random pony off Google.
I thought I'd make a program so I could do it from the comfort of my apartment.
Jesus fuck it's god damn impossible to set up cURL to link statically, and I had to guess that I needed to get OpenSSL aswell, and I can't find any friggin code examples or even a reference anywhere that related to what I'm trying to do, and when I then do find it, it's for a version that's 5 years old.
Fuck that, I'll stick to my bike.

So, I'm trying to use the Skype API. I, so far, know nothing about it, and will probably fail to accomplish this. Does anybody know how to sign applications with VeriSign's CodeSigning certificate? Just talking about certificates sounds scary to me. :ohdear:

Took way too long to generate (15-20) seconds maybe, so there's definitely room for improvement but it will do fine for simple games. Maybe more when I optimize it a bit.

Why is the API documentation in a zipped HTML file? Wouldn't it be easier to just host the html file? All of the links inside it point to 'localhost:8080'. Including the link to the examples zip.
Automerge :(

Does Minecraft seem to fail do this? It might just be me, but when I stay idle in a server for a while (head away for a drink or something) I timed out back when I hosted a server. I figured the game didn't send packets when you weren't doing anything, p. cool sure, but if you weren't doing anything, it also didn't sent a keep-alive.
This may no longer be the case, but I feel that one point in time, this was an issue. I could be entirely wrong though, as I have no evidence from networking tests to prove it.

The main concern here is that Minecraft uses TCP.
It does send keep-alive packets though.

The official software sends pings from client->server and server->client. Also the classic client had a tendency to spam movement update packets even when standing still. Not sure about beta.

Hm everything I found says you shouldn't set it under 2 hours. Also when I tried using this example and setting it to 1 minute it stopped my code from receiving packets :\.

Yeah, 620 is Portal 2.
Actually I'd be extremely surprised if using those functions did actually work.
