chillis back, fuck yeah! welcome back dude

Well, its not trivial but its doable. Obivously there are several different ways of doing it too but none of them are going to allow you to get around a bit of physics. The first method that comes to mind would be this: your character possesses a certain velocity in x direction ( perhaps you've code...

what youre having trouble understanding is not the x++ and y++ commands, but rather the fact that the loops are nested. so whats basically happening is your inner loop always creates a single horizontal line ( read: place dots in a row until while criterion is met ), once it has reached the end, its...

i would suggest you use what you learnt in physics, a jump is a parabolic arc: meaning your character starts out with a certain horizontal velocity ( for the sake of simplicity lets first of all imagine he cant change it during the actual jump procedure ), when you jump you are experience a sudden b...

looks good, nicely done bro ( worked the first time i built it for me, so added bonus points for that )

basically you need a big enough amount of particles of the colour of the ring youre colliding with to kill it otherwise you get killed ( the amount also depends on the size of the ring ) thanks guys for the awesomely quick replies, woah, i FEEL the motivation :P i.e. start by chasing all the white r...

hey there, after lots of lurking and one or two posts im finally getting round to formally introducing myself. im currently studying physics in germany and am an avid past-time gamer, whose always wanted to program but never been much good at it anyway, the game i would like to demonstrate to you is...

the stuff with emergence of 'swarm behaviour' and 'intelligence' is where it starts getting really interesting, but i havent yet had the oportunity to go into much more detail than that so far

well its more than just that, we did it at uni by assinging random very short code snippets to an ant colony ( pre-made obviously ) and then using criteria called fitness of each population you take the colonies with the strongest code and combine them using crossover methods ( so half of the one co...

here ya go virus killer, happy reading in one of the most awesome ideas in computer sience imho
( edit ) not that i know all of them, heh
