Topics I've Started

Small Indie Team

26 November 2012 - 04:34 PM

Hey everyone,

Just wondering if there is anyone who is based in Australia (preferably Perth) that would be interested in getting a small indie game dev team going? Developing for PC and possibly iOS. I'm looking for programmers and artists.

Let me know via PM.

Cheers,
Jason

The Time-Lapse Challenge

THE TIME-LAPSE CHALLENGE

SUBMISSIONS:

Exkakx, his wonderful little time-lapse of his mini game "Defend the Cake": http://www.youtube.c...h?v=Z6jk0Je0woM



There are two reasons why I've posted this challenge, first, I'm bored. Secondly, I'm curious as to how you guys go about creating games. So anyway the challenge seems pretty self explanatory but I will explain some rules.

RULES:
1) Obviously you need to use Game Maker.
2) This one is a no brainer, but, all assets need to be yours.
3) The whole process needs to be recorded and a time-lapse created and posted along with your creation.
4) Their is no restriction as to what you create as long as it's yours.
5) Assets may be created through third party software.
6) Last but not least, you need to start from blank.

So yea, I hope to see some entries. I will be doing mine :D

EDIT1:

Knew I forgot something, so sorry guys but I'll explain a little bit more. A time-lapse is a sequence of images like an animation that shows the events lapsed in time. Like a stop motion. Anyway alot of people on Windows use http://code.google.com/p/chronolapse/ to record a time-lapse.

@dannyjenn, yes including all the asset creations.
@Slayer 64, Anything you want.


Can't get SVN working

26 September 2012 - 09:09 PM

Okay, I'm trying to set up my project for SVN and instead of using say a local SVN, I've decided to set up one through bitbucket. I've understand bitbucket use GIT and HG so I've set up the repo to HG. Anyway, I'm now trying to get my project to commit and it keeps either coming up with -non-interactive or it skips everything. Please can someone help me. Thankyou.

svn import -m "Initial Import" "C:\Users\***\Desktop\***.gmx" "ssh://hg@bitbucket.org/***/***" --username *** --password ***

svn: E170000: Unrecognized URL scheme for 'ssh://hg@bitbucket.org/***/***'
svn checkout "ssh://hg@bitbucket.org/***/***" "C:\Users\***\Desktop\***.gmx"

svn: E170000: Unrecognized URL scheme for 'ssh://hg@bitbucket.org/***/***'
svn add "C:\Users\***\Desktop\***.gmx\*" --username *** --password ***

svn: E155007: 'C:\Users\***\Desktop\***.gmx' is not a working copy
svn update "C:\Users\***\Desktop\***.gmx\*"

Skipped 'C:\Users\***\Desktop\***.gmx\Configs'
Skipped 'C:\Users\***\Desktop\***.gmx\help.rtf'
Skipped 'C:\Users\***\Desktop\***.gmx\***.project.gmx'

Refreshing SVN Status...Finished

I have as well tried the https:// url but that doesn't seem to work either.

EDIT 2:
Now with a local repository, set up according to the help file, this is what I get:

svn: E155007: 'C:\Users\Jason Lei\Desktop\Test.gmx' is not a working copy
svn update "C:\Users\Jason Lei\Desktop\Test.gmx\*"

Skipped 'C:\Users\Jason Lei\Desktop\Test.gmx\Configs'

Reading a large set of data in a txt

26 September 2012 - 01:27 PM

Hey guys,

I'm trying to open a .txt file and read a huge set of data. So basically I have this text file and it has hundreds of lines. Each line is a set of data about something eg:

numbers,ipaddy,1,2006,377,519,978,1,14,49875,135719,89,703,652,336,697,400,128,83,391,246,0,81,0,87,3,0,0,1,40,0,8,0,0,0,16,46,0,5,20,1,0,0,0,0,0,0,14935,3088,20,14,16,41,0,6,35,21,0,0,146,110,220,108,player_name

Now, I've got a key for all that data and what I was wondering was how do I get the data from the txt file and allow me to display it selectivly?
