Spring RTS Engine

I'm not certain I'd change it either, but if I did change it, I'd introduce a unique and permanent identifier which is not visible in normal usage, to which I would bind names and - potentially - other tags such as clans. Seems like a reasonable solution, I see it in a lot of multi-service systems....

Why Debian for your only OS? I ask because, personally, I would pick Mint. Congrats, though!

I'm not sure who would buy the Total Annihilation IP. The passionate are spoiled for spiritual successors and derivations, the IP itself is dated and difficult to apply, and the genre is not precisely thriving.

I'm not certain I agree, bright colours persist in most unsavoury environments.

This is known, has been happening for years. I don't mind it, it provides another crease to prevent functional stalemate. It does have to do with trajectory intercept, can't remember the details. Not really a bug.

Which is not to say RNG used wisely cannot be a part of good design.

Yeah and there is a lot of difference between drones and fighter jets. In the physics involved and the investment risk. I mean, I can pilot an rc copter, but if you give me control of a fighter jet I hope you aren't going to need it later. If you can pilot a RC helicopter, you can fly a fighter jet...

Google, I don't think many people discounted ZK and ZKL - I certainly didn't. That is needless hostility, that is. :-) I was hoping some of the core community members would gather and decide on what to do next, assign tasks among themselves, then do it….like how things are done with the engine devel...

I kind of lost interest when I realized that there were crucial, non-replenishable resources.

you are an autopilot?

You never knew? Waldo is AF's final AI program, the one which will eventually replace him.

I've never been convinced that we shouldn't advertise Spring as a whole because it is a game engine, not a game, but at the same time I recognize that it is a game engine, and nothing without the games that populate it. The fact is that when I advertised Spring titles aggressively, I found no effect...

I thought you were only away for three years or so...

That would be the lesser of two evils, he might want model deformation instead.

"We're deathly afraid of that stabbing word "pretentious," the word that students use to curse each other's ambition. It's a young person's word, a shortcut-to-thinking word. I'm a big fan of pretension. It means "an aspiration or intention that may or may not reach fulfillment.&...

Twitter is not much like Facebook. Facebook exists to monetize on and against your personal information and service messages filtered through self-defined reciprocal social networks. Twitter exists to monetize much less efficiently through advertising against your public messages among diffuse, non-...

Welcome back! I've forgotten a few of my account credentials myself; I probably shouldn't have played in so many of the third wave clans...

Well, ignoring your initial "hipster rubbish" comment - elitism is fractal, after all - you've sold me. That sounds delightful, I like (in)sanity as a supermechanic, but in general I find it limited to very focused games such as Amnesia or Penumbra. I'm eager to see how it interlocks with ...

I issued Pepe's temporary ban in accordance with the Mandatory Minimum Warning System Ban section of the Forum Rules. He has been banned for a week as a result of being warned for numerous infractions over the past sixty days. In fact, his most recent warning, issued by me, was just record keeping a...

Hurm... well, it has been a long time since I textured, but I think I would err on the side of tinting sections of the body metal, sort of a tint accent? Eh, that would probably lead to awkward colour muddle in the end.
