This looks like it could be a really useful tool for us building internal query catalogues and dashboards.
Does the dashboard feature support any dynamic field selectors (similar to "variables" in Grafana)?
Social spaces work differently to patrol areas. 1 player won't occupy a full party worth of spots in a social space, it's possible you try to join your friend at a social space and get an error that the area is full.
Vault of Glass released merely weeks after launch, just like how Destiny 2's raid (Leviathan) did too. A lot of Destiny 2's complaints about end-game aren't about the quantity of content, it's the lack of incentive to play it; loot from the raid is underwhelming, loot in general doesn't offer anything to chase with fixed rolls and everything feeling much more homogenous (less perks on items and perks are less impactful), big design changes to PvP that massively affect the way games play out.
Not having a real controller cripples this type of game.
I disagree, this type of game is perfect for a touch screen. All you need to do is tap anywhere you like on the screen, you get all the tactile feedback you need.
The problem with "memoize" is people always think I'm trying to say "memorize" with a speech impediment, especially because both words usually (kind of) make sense in the context.
Can somebody please point out to me the obvious fact I am missing. Don't Apple design their security such that even they themselves can't crack it? Like storing hashed passwords, they don't want that kind of accountability. The media keeps suggesting that Apple won't do it, I thought it would be the case that Apple can't do it...
"No two games will ever be the same."
Does anybody know how big the seed is for Diablo's RNG? I'm guessing it would have to be 1 value for the environment (to ensure saving/reloading into the same world) but would that 1 value determine all pseudo-randomness (AI aside) in the game (e.g. item drops and their stats).
The way they talk about their Dynamic Random Level Generation suggests they probably already somewhat developed it (and probably other aspects of the game) as a proof of concept.
And "Python", not "python".
HTML is a programming language?
Makes me think there's a very grey area between declarative programming languages and just plain data. If writing HTML is considered programming, does that make a draftsman drawing up building plans a programmer?
Sydneysider here, 24 years old and pretty-decent salary. Maybe if I save for several more years, and buy with a partner, we may be able to afford a 1 bedroom apartment, with some financial help from our parents, in the outskirts of Sydney.
This instantly reminded me of the (true) story where people were able to cheat an online poker game because the site released its source to "prove" its fairness/randomness, showing that the deck was shuffled from a fixed state using a standard RNG with the time of day (in ms) as the seed.
Of course this meant there were only 86,400,000 possible decks, people could generate all the possible decks ahead of time and as soon as cards would be revealed in the game they could easily match the hand being played to the limited set of possibilities. Essentially they had foresight of which cards were coming out. Furthermore, once a few decks were matched up you could vastly reduce the set of possibilities even further by working out the approximate time of day on the server.
