Well, i guess not many of us could have given a nicer gift then you did, that's wonderful

i got my dad those bike handlebars, like these:


we only give a present to one person each, we write our names on a paper, put them in a jar and pick one, so that everyone gets a gift, and no useless cheap stuff is bought. this way you can buy one nice gift, and everyone is more happy than with 4 small things you only use for one day...

My sis got me a beer collection, and i love it! it has 10 different beers, each of them delightful and very tasty

Hi everyone

As you may have (or may not have) noticed I was gone for quite a while, about 6 months i guess. I came to visit now and then, but never actually reacted to something or made something new. But that's changed, 'cause I'm back in bussiness! I just had about enough of any calc related stuff for a while... but since I'm having exam stress right now, I needed something to relax, so I started a new program/game. You probably know it, it's the most famous/fun/hilarious/etc. cardgame existing, UNO!

I just started yesterday, but I suppose it's kinda finished, so I would ask you guys a favor to test it if you want. Any bugs/glitches/crashreporst may be posted here or in pm (thanks).
It's two version, a normal one and a small one. The images take up quite a lot of memory, so I made one with smaller images, and it runs slightly faster, but it's not as good looking as the normal one (the gameplay and code is exactly the same, just the images changed).

Here are some eye-candies:


the first one is from the normal version, the other ones are from the small version.

controls:
[r]eset
[.] move to next player (i did not let this go automatically because now you can follow what each player does --> you can think what cards are left)
[<][>] select card from own collection to lay down on pile
[enter] confirm card you want to lay down (there's a check to see if it is legit to lay that card, so no cheating should be possible)
[esc] another reset
[tab] take card from pack if you cannot lay down one that fits

edit: [enter] without any selection makes you skip, that is when you cannot lay any card that is legit.

also, the black bar indicates the player that is on the move.
And it has 3 AI's obviously, you are the one with the shown cards, the other ones pick their cards themselves.

Any questions, remarks, bugs, glitches may be posted

greetings,
Nick

P.S. it feels good to be back, i missed it

Found bugs/mistakes/glitches:
 - Number 0 as card not available
 - Ndless loop when only one Player (AI) left

It seems like some people have different rules than the standard ones, if so, note them, i'll try to add them to a settings dialog
 - 2 of exact the same cards can be laid down at the same time
 - If another player lays down a card, you can lay down exactly the same one if you have it (even if it's not your turn)

a quick google search gave me this:

(it might be easier to start with..)

and

I don't see the pictures

Also, dat Kirby.

you don't see them?? wut? well, i can see them

i don't know about the monitor, but i LOVE the atari, it's beautiful

so now we can trick the sending software by telling it we are running another OS?

haha, cells with eyes

well, it's a totally different ganme though, the osmos i know (and cloned here) is a game on itself (an android app, but now also available as computer game)

I pick up a piece of A4 paper, and a I write everything I should do. Before that, though, I choose the tools and libraries I'll use to make the game. It's also good to make a quick prototype before. For example, if I plan to make a 2D game, I could make a very quick prototype in Python (faster to make) to see how it feels, and then rewrite it using the final language and tools (for example Vala with OpenGL).

I also make some drawings on the very same A4 piece of paper, like sprites and levels. I scratch out things I've finished too.

then you must have a very big kind of A4 paper i mostly use like 10 pages for every project, not counting the sketches i make on random pieces of paper i find
