any plans to add async downloading of files? my network latency is fairly high so I can only download about 2 to 3 files per second with the current code |

It would seem from your analysis that B. A. Or B. B would be optimal. At the least we can agree that Best Author > awesome author. |

the SVN source code link is broken |

Given another two cups of coffee and a night to sleep on it, it turns out it was just NaN poisoning and now it's basically working. :)
J: Oh thanks! I have always wanted to enter IOCCC but for a long time it wasn't even running, and I guess I keep forgetting that it
Maybe that's enough time for me to put something together. Will think about it.
A: I did play DOOM 2016, it was good. I think the new Wolfenstein games were both very strong too, as well as Prey... that's basically the kind of thing I'm looking for. Titanfall looks like it might be up my alley; I think I probably missed it because it's not on Steam. Thanks for the rec! |

"Seems like nobody even really makes single-player shooters any more" - not totally true thankfully! Guessing you already played it but DOOM 2016 was extraordinarily good, and it's getting a sequel. Titanfall 2 from a couple years ago was great too. Also I can't help but plug Earth Defense Force 5 (has multiplayer but it's just coop) which is just stupidly fun. |

Happy New Year! SIGBOVIK reminds me that a new IOCCC contest has started, the submission deadline is on 2019-03-15.

You have less than half a day to post a blog entry in the next month.
|
| |
Today I bought as close a mason jar to yours as I could find (Bell, rather than Kerr, but same size), because I wanted better lentil storage and figured you know what's what. Happy new year! |
| |
I would never forget!
(Just kidding I often forget) |

For DOS actually. I think it will run on in versions of windows with a 16-bit subsystem, although probably not do anything that you'll notice. DOSBox is an option on both Linux and modern Windows, among other platforms. |
| |
You still have most of a day to post in November. |
| |
Running this on MacOS High Sierra. Says it can't find any .esp files. Where should they be written/stored? |
| |
Is this research paper for Windows or Linux? |
| |
You have less than a day to post a new entry, unless you hide behind the plausible deniability that the radar is giving an error message again.
|
| |
No, I'm having some trouble with the server but I have unable to figure it out yet. It seems like it could be a problem with the virtual host itself since it's manifesting as extremely slow disk reads. :( |
| |
Your radar is intermittently down for days, displaying an error message about "this directive" or some such. Are you trying to conserve energy? |
| |
If you count in the New York City timezone, then you still have more than a day to post an entry in September. |
| |
Apparently johannhowitzer says that the SNES puzzle game "Trodderls" is very well designed, and it looks like the sort of game you (Tom7) might like. |

Интересно, что же это такое |

tom7 can you put a mushroom in my bathroom
thanks |

Also: Yes, there is an extraneous item, but it was planned to be used the way you expected.
And the speedrun softlock is also something I knew about (I think there is even a comment in the code), but I discovered afterwards that it's actually not game-breaking, even though it looks like it is! You just need to be standing in the right spot. |

Thanks for all the notes!
I haven't uploaded fixes for any of the bugs yet--I'll do this after the compo ends tomorrow. I think some of the changes you're seeing might just be finnicky behavior (for example, the captain says "Please make yourself at home" but I don't have any logic to position text so that it's right edge is on-screen, so depending on where you're standing, text can get cut off). I think many of the other bugs are due to the bad path planning--the alien gets stuck on the boundaries between zones. Still haven't figured that one out, but I should fix it. (For example, I watched some people play this and they were doing exactly the right thing, but the alien would get stuck, and then they thought that was their fault.)
Anyway, I apologize for the rough edges (many of these things I knew about and still regret) but it was a lot to cram into 48h! Thanks for playing and for suffering those. :) |

wow i cannot belive how common this is when i looked down and saw 2 shroomies comming ouut of the floor ....i was like WTF!!!!... had to double check my eyes to make sure that i wasnt just already tripping on the little buggers lol!! |

I am completely wrong in point 3. I transcribed the version of the alien alphabet version of the second command word wrong to my paper sheet, despite that I knew that letter from an early word (rot13: ybbx), and then kept looking at my sheet and saw the typo I wanted to see after shachaf told me there'd be a typo. There's no typo in that word, it's the word it should be, you didn't make such an embarrassing mistake right in the menu that is always on the screen. I apologize. |
