But he also constantly tried to bombard the synchronous part with requestAnimationFrame requests. This combination was essentially lethal. The browser had no time window to rest, because it constantly had to execute code, leading to 100% CPU usage and soft locking the computer in the end.

Ah ok. Thanks for explaining. I wasn't aware of the differences in synchronous and asynchronous tasks. Currently learning Javascript, so this is quite interesting.

Are you all casting spells?

they said that is "newer is better"

@Isabella Ava, I just realized that. It takes time for me to comprehend.

You need to revert your main project then.

Of course, if there's a karaoke *singer* with the karaoke background, and they're putting their all into it, that's nice too

Don't get me wrong. Human vocal is good on its own. But with the vocal removed, I could appreciate the background by listening to each instrument. Some of the melodies usually overshadowed and unheard because of the presence of the vocal.

B-but you can't rap without vocals!

Yup. The more the game progresses, I give my enemies stronger skills, especially spells with greater AoE and damage, and skills that have better chance to inflict status effects.

Procedurally generated enemies? Why not kick it up a notch and go for neural network generated enemies?

Sounds like an idea

Which is?

Don't tell me it's scripting

None of those. It's the eventing. Been many times I evented stuff. It didn't look natural. Then scrapped them all together.

well, you at least can do a celebration dance and get a pizza or smth

In these situation, I always have a printing of a hand attached to the wall behind my chair, so I can stand up and lean against the wall with the hand patting my shoulder.

We can celebrate with you, even if we don't know what you're talking about

Is there a source?

Weird, I don't celebrate birthdays anymore and I'm still alive.

It's most likely to do with the fact that people who celebrate birthdays often are generally the happy-go-lucky, social type, and it's already pretty obvious that being more positive is better for our mental and physical health, as well as having a rich social life, so those people are likely to live longer.

Smoke bugs everyday!

I've heard smoked bugs are very nutritious.

Good eats. I live on the edge sometimes.

I never know what you're talking about--but that's why I like ya--ya tell it how it is.

My like count is more than double my post count, which is probably a good sign anyways. At least it means I'm not posting garbage all the time.

*smirk of hatred and jealousy*

Did they come to capital Jakarta? Because sure it's tough there. I'm not living in there, and it's already burning here.

@TheoAllen Well I'm not in Jakarta, but they said they'll go there the day after, so I'm guessing they'll feel the TRAFFIC AND THE HELLFLAMES

It's just becoming winter here, the trees are nearly bare and the weather is starting to turn colder.

I like the system tho. Very nice.

can a creativity be taught?

Compassion especially from Pre-history

Cooking pasta.

I always wonder what would happen when you name your character like another playable one. Some discussions would be hard to understand.

It's kinda a hard choice. Some ppl may already remember my character name, that it might get weird if I changed it. On the other hand, this irl person is a popular one, not some random commoners that I could put a disclaimer. I also don't want to associate my character with this popular irl person.

Well, if you are worried about association then it might be better to change it.

wait a second. you meant both at the same time? lmao that's cray. i thought it was visual enemies triggering random encounters

I mean, a visual encounter, appear randomly triggered by step count just like random encounter.

I can feel the tension.

An artstyle matters. Arts subjective yknow? Crappy graphics might be the aesthetic (Undertale, Iwannabetheguy, breath of death, etc) Its mostly 3D games that suffer most from bad graphics. FF7 looks like hot garbage today, FF1 is still pleasing to look at.

The same. I like having a cute girl running around. Spices up the deal.

I definitely do feel the same except instead of me staying for cute graphics I stay for surreal and insane visuals playing as a weird, stupid looking character. Like in Pizza Tower or Tingle's Balloon Trip of Love.

: ) it's very nice. Now it's time to develop a super smart AI script

super smart AI script would break the game tbh

I think it looks fine. And you even have a little armor bar too, so players can see the change.

When you have free time, give yourself some work. Go do the dishes, clean the house, etc. While you are doing those jobs that require more movement repetition than thinking, ideas will come.

Now that's a tip I could try lol.

For me, even though I'm not working right now, I still keep busy. And the game- there still back helluva whole lot to do.

Hero and heroine are titles given to those who are actively going out there to fight against evil. If the supposed hero stayed in town and did nothing all day, he would no longer be the hero. He became the hero because he's actually putting his life on the line to save the peoples.

No one is the hero before becoming the chosen one. They become the hero, because they were chosen to become one and accepted their role and acted on it.

How does the hero meet anyone? A coincidence. They hero happens to like the heroine. The feeling is mutual. Coincidence. But it makes a great story.
