[QUOTE=Limed00d;46560981]found a newspaper from 1942 in th attic, when norway was under german occupation. some of the headlines are about marshal law coming into effect in more towns within the county, and that an american battleship had been sunk near the african coast.
really interesting to read.

I have a "magazine" from the late 1800s. The cover says it's for casual Sunday reading but it's pretty much a 300 page hardcover book. It's really interesting to read through though.
[code]
#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
int main() {
int a, b, hold;
a = 0;
b = 1;
cout << a << endl;
for (int i = 0; i < 20; i++) {
cout << b << endl;
hold = a;
a = b;
b += hold;
}
}
[/code]

If it were 300 pages of beautiful FP posts sure, but 300 pages of 1800s English is not casual imo.

I've been thinking about making a text based adventure game

although it would be something more focused on gameplay than telling a story
You have many,many,many,many rolls of cling film. And a terrapin.

You could write a Fighting Fantasy style adventure in the form of a dungeon crawler. Be a bit more generous with the takings than the average module is though.

if I make a game there's definitely going to be easter eggs like that :v:

i was working on a choose-your-own-adventure game a while back but my ambitions got the better of me and i stopped working on it. i was planning three different campaigns, several cities each with their own sub-campaigns, random encounters, and tons of other shit, and i got two cities fully programmed, one campaign done, and sixty random encounters written before i eventually realized that i was never going to finish it.
I have been thinking about thinking.

TV Tropes could be 100 times better if they'd just use core Mediawiki instead of this bullshit
Freaking so stoked about UE4. In Cryengine, creating terrain from a heightmap was pretty cool, but the overall maximum world space wasn't all that big, and creating high resolution terrain was very performance intensive, so in order to get any decent performance, I had to smooth out divets and ditches and craters and hills, so mountains looked way too smooth and polished.
In UE4 I loaded up a heightmap and scaled it to 4 times the maximum terrain size that Cryengine supports, and didn't have to smooth anything out. Mountains look so fucking sexy, and huge, and I'm rocking a constant 120fps. Granted there are no objects, but with no objects in Cryengine, an un-smoothed terrain generated from the same heightmap - at 1/4 the size - granted me 70fps to work with. And I have a pretty decent rig.
Also, skybox support is 1,000,000 times better, solely for the reason that, by default in UE4, [I]you can set the skybox to rotate on the Z axis[/I], simulating cloud movement, which you can't do in Cryengine. So I can make a super sexy skybox, layer it with actual rendered clouds , and have a really nice looking sky, in very little time.
And, finally, lighting control. Lighting control in Cryengine is very stiff, rigid, and interdependent of too many elements, making it very difficult to get stuff done. UE4 is the polar opposite, each light source can be and is independent of itself and the surrounding environment, but also works beautifully with other light sources, so lighting a scene is so intuitive and fluid, that what would take me an hour in Cryengine, can be done in 5 minutes in UE4. Lighting and shading calculations are also much more precise, so things look much more realistic, with much less effort.
And this is only what I've learned in messing with it for an hour last night.
