The Still New What Did You Last Do Thread

[DoomRater]

I'm tempted to find a picture of Dick Tracy to back that up. But Penny is more awesome.

I've got your Dick pic right here

1. Why is a watch filling the role of a phone

Because we want to enjoy the video call while getting some serious information like, all the time?

This is the "What Did You Last Do" thread. Not the "What Did Some Jagoff On The Internet Last Do" thread.

Most of the features showcased in that video look embarassingly bad... Only some of the props look decent, but they look completely out of place on iwad maps. Who on their right mind thought this was a good idea?

[DoomKrakken]

I did...

I especially love the added jungle effects in Plutonia... definitely makes it look more realistic. And the rain... oh my goodness, the rain... it makes it into the one type of map that I would play.

I haven't played Plutonia yet... I'm thinking I might try it once the next version of Brutal Doom comes out. I hope there is a generic version for it, so I could play it with my mods...

[Dynamo]

Yes, a mappack known for its relentless chaingunner placement (not that that's a bad thing), now filled with trees right in front of the chaingunners who you can now no longer see while they're shooting at you. That definitely makes the map into something I would play compared to before... Oh well, to each their own I guess. Let's also not act like rain is something never seen before in doom maps, though...

The whole way this effect is implemented makes it very specific to the IWAD levels. I've done some experiments on procedural visual geegaw generation, if you're curious.

I spent hours banging my head on my keyboard, trying to find out why something in Gamemaker 2 wasn't working despite it clearly should... and then I found out that multiple assignments like the following doesn't work.

Code: Select all

var1 = var2 = var3 = 4;

It all has to be done like this:

Code: Select all

var1 = 4;
var2 = 4;
var3 = 4;

So I reported it in the hopes that it'll be fixed.

But that right there just screams a land mine of many...

Got SADX since I had some wallet pennies leftover from preordering Mania, applied some bugfix/Dreamcast visual mods, etc.

I wasn't aware there were languages where this was valid let alone recommended even if it can be done.

It's done alot in (G)ZDoom... C++ allows this. I think C does too (?). ZScript and ACS allows it too, as I remember the latter being something I used to do a lot even back in the day.

[Gez]

There's the C paradigm that (nearly) every expression returns a value. x = y sets x to y, and then returns y, so you can chain assignments because if you do x = y = z, it starts by processing y = z, returns z, and so it then processes x = z.

There are some excessive stuff you can do because of that, at least in C++. (x=y)=z is legit, but also really wrong. See this.

I heard that a lot of people are going to see the total eclipse of the sun on Monday the 21st of August. I'll be going down south to see it for myself because its right below where my grandmother lives at in Illinois and this happens every 38 years, so this well be my 1st time seeing it.
