iterating over a large list of ints and summing them:

(AS3) Vector.<Int> = 55ms
(AS3) FastList(int) = 18ms
(haXe) FastList<int> = 16ms

Well, bugger me.
I'm gonna have to get me some fastList. And haXe, for that matter.

In terms of structure, what is fastList anyway?

Ah, thank you. I was expecting some rather bizarre system, but that is refreshingly simple.
Also, I can't believe I had never considered adding things to the head of a linked list rather than the tail. How very stupid -_-
Oh well, no time like the present.

Was going to go with Patchman but apparently thats taken, plus my name is Jordan D, i might as well use it!

First name usernames are awesome: sam, luis etc.
First name surname initial usernames suckkkkkkkkkk

you should be ashamed! Now you blend in with everyone! YOU GOTTA STAND OUT MAN, FROM THE CROWD!

Can i say that it was actually Tom Fulp who told me in person that he could change my username to JordanD? I think with him backing me we could take you on

Your name sounds like that of a cheap hooker I had last night.

A good one though. :)

Yeah, I liked Duchednier better.

You didn't know how to pronounce it...

Either way, this feels more personal anyways, i like using my name :D

Meh. I guess it is better because I will no longer accidentally call you "douche".

Naw, you're great

Hai gaiz. I'm new here. You all seem cool.

Who here uses dap on their mustache? Any cool conveyor-belt-related stories?

Click to kill.

Had a go at genetic algorithms. They were interesting to do. Here's my attempt at a predator prey kind of setup. Whenever all of the current 'generation' are dead the highest scoring ones (kills + time spent alive) are bred together and then some mutations are throne in (I kept mutations rather high). Unsurprisingly the prey become rather well adapted rather quickly due to them developing the 'calm' gene in which they only move when approached. The predators suck though, due to the 'feeding time at the zoo' kind of scenario they become 'lazy' and just end up spinning around in circles. The only known issue is that as the prey get better they tend to trap themselves in the corners out of reach of the predators. if that happens just resize your browser window to view them and then click on them to 'terminate' them.

Meh.

@ the artist formerly known as Duchednier - Chided Rune just didn't sit right with you. Too bad. I love anagrams. Call me nostalgic, but I still like your old user name.

@archon. That's pretty cool stuff. Genetic algorithms are really fun in MIDI. Parents and children. Dominant and recessive traits. Fun times. Your predator problem (with the spinning laziness) sounds truly funny out of the Akai. You have to "push" it when it gets stuck. I know that's sounds weird, and I have no idea how to do that in flash, but I'm sure you'll find a way.

@impendingriot. That toon made me snort wine. Big ups. :D

It is funny. just a shame it does it.

I'll do that a bit later.

Slightly updated version.

as3 question: I heard a rumor that as3 has a fullscreen mode that is lag free. Any of you know how it works?

Yes, if you power it with wishes and dreams.

In reality, i don't know, if it is true, then shame on me

Just the normal

if I remember rightly.

It runs faster because flash is then running as an external application outside the browser so more system resources are allocated to it. Something like that.

I may be wrong.

you have to set stage.fullscreensourcerect to the size of your stage, then in full screen flash renders it at normal size and upscales it on the GPU to match your screen.

for normal apps fullscreen always runs faster than windowed apps since the OS doesnt have to render anything else besides the full screen app.

see: tetraform for an example of that. I actually up the quality one level when you go fullscreen cause of the performance boost it gets

Glaiel i respect you and want to hear what you have to say, but first here's my first game

I wouldn't say its anything original or exciting though, it was purely made for the lols :P

Nice job on releasing your first game! Might I be so rude as to inquire how much you got paid for it in the end? PM is also fine.

That's a nice sum indeed, congrats

just letting you all know

indiecade submissions close on the 1st of june so if you made an interesting game within the past year or so you should submit it, it's quite a fun festival

I did this for my art exam final piece ;)

Studied Dan Paladin as an artist and had to create his characters from a starting point - which was masks.

Thought it would be nice to shareeeeee

Holy shit, 4K for that? It was a nice game, but I didn't realize such a simple game could make so much.

Wow.
