Bored? Feel the need to go to a room and dodge spinning blades? I have the solution: http://identicalsoftware.com/simplediscroom/SimpleDiscRoom.html Arrow keys move. Don't touch the blades. What is this you ask? Disc Room is a new game coming out (closed source). I stumbled on the Disc Room Game Jam to promote the game. A game jam is sort of a contest. You have a short period of time 24 hour up to generally a month to develop a game. They generally have a theme you need to incorporate and possibly other restrictions. They may or may not have a prize or even judging. Disc Room Game Jam wants people to develop disc room like in their game. They released a simple disc room written in Game Maker, a closed source game development program. I decided to use the time to learn Godot, an open source game development program. I recreated their sample with only slight changes. The version on my web site doesn't have the update with sounds at the moment. If you want to edit it: https://github.com/dulsi/SimpleDiscRoom You will need Godot 3.2. (Which is not in Fedora 32 so I've been using a beta of Fedora 33 in a virtual machine.) Would people be interested in a presentation on Godot? -- Dennis Payne dulsi@identicalsoftware.com https://social.freegamedev.net/channel/dulsi
doug> fun, reminding me of a MontyPython sketch (even has its own wikipedia
page)
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Architects_Sketch
===========================(my shorter copy/text from above:) snip ON
...first seen in Episode 17 of *Monty Python's Flying Circus
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monty_Python%27s_Flying_Circus*, 'The Buzz
Aldrin Show
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Monty_Python%27s_Flying_Circus_episode...'.
The episode was recorded on 18 September 1970
The sketch proper begins (on videotape) with Tid in an office with two City
gents (Michael Palin https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michael_Palin and Terry
Jones https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Terry_Jones). On a table near the
window stand two architectural models
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Architectural_model of tower blocks
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tower_block. Mr. Tid informs the City gents
that he has invited the architects responsible to explain the advantages of
their respective designs.[2]
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Architects_Sketch#cite_note-AllTheWords-p220-2
First to arrive is Mr. Wiggin (John Cleese
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Cleese), who describes his
architectural design and modern construction, and then explains his killing
technique starting with a conveyor belt
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conveyor_belt and 'rotating knives'. It
turns out that Mr. Wiggin mainly designs slaughterhouses
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slaughterhouse and has misunderstood the
owners' attitude to their tenants.
doug> snip OFF. Thanks for holding it in, and dodging. BTW, Dennis, THANKS,
yep that does describe me(all?) at(most?) times..
