but why is 'Linux' written smaller than the other OS'es?

Well, because Linux users are notoriously cheap and never pay for anything. I'd better start running now.


That's a common misunderstanding, like saying that firefox users are less likely to buy internet services because you can block ads with adblock

A clear example: I work for a company that offers free software solutions (our system dep. are even making a linux distribution for the local administration) and i can warantee you that i get paid each month.

Free software is called free for being libre not for being gratis, it's easy to mix those to up.

Btw nice game, i love the ragdolls falling  :D .

From your blog, ai with real world physics looks very tricky, you cuold try to do some "fake" physics for ia oponents, with enoug detail it could be hard to tell

@SeySayux:

Dude, seriously… you won’t stop until every single thread in the forum has turned into a linux advertisement, will you?

I know I’m no moderator or internet police or something, but this isn’t the first thread getting mutated into some “I have a bigger better OS than you” rantfest, and as you know, I’m a bit concerned about keeping the new posts the devs have to face every day at reasonable numbers…

Not to offend you in person, I like your enthusiam, but IMO this really affects the readability of the infected threads, maybe you could just tone it down a notch?



To clarify, I don’t mean to defend Tobias for being offensive towards linux users. In fact, I don’t even think he was. I understood his comment as a sarcastic little joke about a public prejudice.

Yea, i know, i know, I really should stop advertising Linux. I simply don't understand why people don't wanna use it? I think it is equal to, if not better, as Windows. And its free (as in "gratuit" and in "libre"). Just do me a favor and use it :). Just kidding ;).

To reiterate, diverting threads off topic to wage personal crusades will get your account gagged or banned.  No need to post excuses here either.  There is a place for such arguments and discussions (see offtopic).

Also, please do not respond to such postings, it only makes things worse.



My apologies to Tobias for using this thread to do moderation chores.  You have a great looking game coming along there and I look forward to seeing more about it announced later in this thread!

Thanks, everyone.

It is tricky, and "fake" physics was indeed a backup plan. However, it does seem like a neural net will be able to handle just about any situation in the game with some careful construction and training. I didn't really think NNs would be this good, to be honest.

Another entry of Turborilla Developer Diary has been published. Check it out:  October -07 : Spices and Menus



It’s mostly about spicing up the gameplay, and I also bitch a bit about GUIs and jMonkeyEngine :slight_smile:

Just getting better and better! Very impressive :slight_smile:



(And yeah I agree we need a gui system  ;))

I think I will keep the source closed. Is there anything in particular you are interested in?
