In Topic: sprite follow screen?

15 September 2012 - 09:44 PM

Draw the sprite relative to the position of the room's view .
like

draw_sprite(spr_loading,view_x+620,view_y+440)
//not confirmed the code is right or worng

*view_view[0], view_yview 0 not view_x, view_y

This code would work for anysize as long as the origin is at 0,0
It's basically the same as Mr.Creator's  except longer :/
draw_sprite(spr_loading,0,view_xview[0]+view_wview[0]-sprite_get_width(spr_loading),view_yview[0]+view_hview[0]-sprite_get_height(spr_loading))

In Topic: What creates consciousness?

Plus, your explanation assumes the ability to learn and make associations preceded consciousness.  I think that's a topic for debate -- because those attributes are actually components of consciousness, in my view.

Yes I completely agree.   :sweat:

And maybe consciousness is just a point where that "circuit" has become so complex, that it needs to decide: eat the red one or eat the green one?

And this one..

And when we grow something new, or meet a new need (to eat the guy that's nicking our food) then we add something new to the circuit (or install some new drivers), then we become more complex and a step up the evolutionary ladder.

(Not learning, gaining something new, like growing thumbs)
Aaaaand that one goes with...

the neo cortex can learn almost anything

That's my bad, sometimes I'm not clear enough when I spew out explinations   :rolleyes:

In Topic: I make music and I know it.

I mainly create trance, I usually don't intend for them to be for a game. But I'll end up usuing them for it. That's why I haven't released any apart from one. Because I have only released one game that uses my song in it. In fact I was planning on releasing one either today or tomorrow and another one sometime next week on my youtube channel. I don't advertise it much because it's mainly for CoD videos, so it's not in my sig. But I have an eminem trance remix on there already. And by the time you read this, I'll probably have another trance song on.

Oh and @Pixel8ed72 I've heard of NI! I use Traktor scratch pro with timecode. ^_^

In Topic: What creates consciousness?

I think consciousness is a direct result of complexity within the human mind. Here's my take on it:

So first there is sub conscious, then there is conscious. And there are 3 parts of the brain, reptilian, limbic and the neo cortex. With reptilian being the basic fight or flight, the need to eat breath etc. The limbic system which is what most mammals have, emotions, memory, and the sub conscious. And the neo cortex, which governs the things we learn and what makes us different form most other animals (speech, culture, writing etc.) But if we go deeper then that.

Now, for simple understanding sake, let's take some code. Pretty basic. All it does is makes an object go left. Now we need the object to go left when we press a button. So we add that. And we need to make it stop. So we add that. And we need it to go right. Etc.

Now if you apply that on the larger scale, and in real life, and compared ourselves (a cell for instance) to a computer, lets say we started out gathering fuel (eating and breathing) and multiplying (computer don't understand it, it's a life thing ;)). And we are living happily like that, when all of a sudden something similar to us comes along. And it's learnt that it needs to move, and gather fuel, and multiply. So all goes well. But it's hogging all the food. So we need to get there before it does. So we learn how to move.

Now that's good and all, but if you take away conscious it's hard to understand, that's where the computer comes along. If we were like a circuit inside (or some code). Just doing all that we can. Then it seems easier to grasp the concept. And when we grow something new, or meet a new need (to eat the guy that's nicking our food) then we add something new to the circuit (or install some new drivers), then we become more complex and a step up the evolutionary ladder.

And maybe consciousness is just a point where that "circuit" has become so complex, that it needs to decide: eat the red one or eat the green one? (if {} else {}), go help my offspring, or eat them? :no: And from there, it has to differentiate between more things. FIGHT OR FLIGHT. Which is the kind of thing our reptilian brain decides. And after adding more and more things to this circuit, this code, our brain. How do we decide whether we want to protect our child or eat them and how do we decide which mate to produce said offspring’s with? We need to prefer them... We need... to LIKE THEM! (Ding ding ding! Congratulations! You have unlocked: The Limbic System! You have gained: Emotions! :woot: 1337 MLB.. lol gtfo n00b munky, I h8 u(sorry about that))

Then eventually, after more and more millenniums of gruelling evolution, we need to communicate. And once we can communicate (speech requirements: neo cortex) we shoot up from there. Because the neo cortex can learn almost anything, and then we can "connect" brains, and we become even more complex within ourselves (reading, writing, one person teaching someone else, someone else expanding on the knowledge etc.). And as said with the omega point theory: Once we reach maximum complexity. Our conscious will blow through space and time and take us into a new plane of reality. (I'm paraphrasing of course) Now, is it just me, or does that sound like we're gonna become extra dimensional beings?

So yeah, that's my take on what creates consciousness.   :rolleyes:

In Topic: i need help with a code

29 August 2012 - 12:36 PM

i corrected that problem but now what im getting is i have 2 enemies runing to me but when 1 reaches me, the other one stops runing, how do i fix this and having the enemies think for them selfs


try changing "Enemy.x" to "x"
