Let's see how they'll try the next step.

I'm not playing it much, i'm actually pretty bad at it, but it's totally fun. We mainly play aoc in wine, which works very well on local LANs but is crappy via internet, same without wine, which was the initial spark.

Nobody had suceeded in creating a clone with potential at 2013, so we took chances and are still trying to do it the "right" way.

I think the last year I played about 40h of aoc, so actually not that much, and haven't played aoe:hd yet.

I'd like to remind you that there's openage, a free engine for Age of Empires 2.

https://github.com/SFTtech/openage

It will be the future if you wanna accomplish things the original engine is incapable of doing, especially a sane mod API.

Help us make it more awesome :)

This is a free python gtk3 speed reading tool:

It needs a lot of polishing but may be a good start for you.

You might be interested in the free Age of Empires II engine then:

Think of the awesome applications:

* GNU Radio

* Pulseaudio mixing

* Desktop environment configs

* (your program here)

Terrain blending implementation: https://github.com/SFTtech/openage/blob/b7af79f1d5bfcc986935...

I think we got the perfectly matching algorithm, we even get the same blending bugs with snow :D

ok, it does work. i totally forgot about the command blocks. he's using them to change the block type.

Yes, but you don't see BOTH block types on the big tape. Swapping bits requires one block for each state, but the green ones are missing from the tape screenshots.

Imagine a write process: You'd need to somehow replace the visible blue blocks with a green block. But where does the green block come from?

This will not work as described. I think his design is a good idea, but still does not work.

I build a better harddrive (with 4 kb storage!) over a year ago, imgur link will follow.

Now to the design problem in this HDD: see that all the blocks are blue in the platter? No way to swap each of the bits without magically creating new green blocks. My hdd solves that problem by having BOTH block types available on the platter. But see for yourself:

but it's non-free software.

you should also consider trying emacs.

lol the first thing i thought this article is about was the wine software from winehq.org :)
