dicking around with source related stuff, using the 2013 sdk for a slightly larger project that i've had in my brain for a while, actually, lets just get to the point. working on a game. i'm tired.

I'm assuming you're making a first person shooter with Source? Or is it something different?
I only know first person games that use source.

I'm trying to write an AI agent that can beat the best performance on SQuAD 2.0 without using more than 1% of the training data.

Some interesting concepts that you might want to look into are…

1. Broad-phase collision detection
2. Binary space partitioning (quadtrees for 2D, octrees for 3D, k-d trees for k dimensions)
3. Viewing-frustum culling

As for your questions,

1. Your map can be represented in a lossless image format on disk. An image is essentially a 2D matrix.
2. The relevant parts of your map can be loaded into memory when it is necessary.
3. The parts of the map that are necessary are those that will be visible within the amount of time that it takes to load the next parts of the map into memory. This is a recursive definition that is based on the maximum speed of your viewport and the speed of loading tiles into memory.
4. You can either check every second, which is common, or you can apply a sweep algorithm, treating time as a dimension. For inspiration, look at examples of functional reactive programming in video games.

I've been doing https://www.nand2tetris.org , which is pretty cool so far. I'm also making a generic 2d game engine using pygame, which I'm planning on using to create and release a game within the year, which is almost certainly not going to happen considering that I'm a novice programmer at best and also that who the fuck can do that in six months, but having ridiculous time constraints is probably pretty good for enforcing a work ethic.

I got most of those from gelbooru and pixiv.
We never added "uboachan" on those in the end, huh.

This is spam. Unacceptable.

That definitely was lightning in a bottle. Animation wasn't always the best, but the fight scenes were serviceable and the aesthetic worked. Even Korra pales in comparison because two of the creators lost sight of what made the original good and the third didn't even come back. I do have to give credit where credit it due, Gumball has done some impressive things. It's not fully 2-d though and i'm pretty sure it's produced in Canada, or somewhere else outside of the states. The humor doesn't appeal too much to me and I've only seen clips, but it does impress me with its variety.

>If I really can't stand something anymore I'll just drop it.
Normally i'd agree with you, but this has been sevenish years of investment and at one point I really did see potential in it. A tiny bit of the fight scene animation in earlier seasons showed some effort. Beginning of this clip shows what I mean. Different angles, shots, panning.

For the most part, this is shot reverse shot. It's even lamer than these two characters first fight if you've seen that.

Mob Psycho 100, beginning of the season, totally insignificant fight for comparison.

>On the average, most western plots and premises are more unique and creative
Nah. I get what you're saying, but when you look at total volume, that's just not true. There's a sea of generic slice or life/harem stuff sure, but the bulk of anime with interesting premises it larger than the total bulk of western animation, especialPost too long.

I wanna condense my point as much as possible.
1.Quantity
Look at what's airing now. Now look at the seasonal anime chart. Do that for every season, of every year, for 30+ years. There you go.
2.Average
I randomly picked Hanamaru Youchien.
For the American one, hmmmmm, how about…. apple and onion.

I also looked at some truly bottom of the barrel stuff like Acchi Kocchi, that seemed comparable, but it's not average.
3.The Best
How good does it get? What's the highest quality anybody has reached? I don't really know where to start.

It's kinda weird seeing adverts again after mozilla fucked up the certificates blocking all extensions. It's like my sins are catching up to me.

you could have looked this up yourself pretty easily, but you didn't so now you owe me a favor. how do you plan on paying?

Good job finding the thread, but the file OP's talking about wasn't archived.

Wow, that's pretty funny.

>>19869
Tastes pretty good. It is some of the best. I also recommend High West, Bulleit, and James E. Pepper.

I locked a false thread telling me I'm STI, so I must be. April Fools! Ok, tell me how Australian I am. Tell me I'm STEE. Talk dirty to me bby. Discussion hours are open.

We don't have that in Vietnam

Seisatsu has promoted hate speech on the internet for over a decade and and continues to do so, yet when his efforts bear fruit in the form of terrorism nobody hold him responsible.
Does anyone else think thats odd?
If people on the internet were saying Seisatsu should be shot and then someone did it, the people who were saying to do so on the internet would be considered partly responsible, so why is it different when Seisatsu promotes terrorism and then others suffer while he benefits?

Jesus, people actually think STI and I are the same person now since that Seisatsu thread on 8chan. I hope this blows over. Shouldn't have joked about it.

>>19860
STI lives in Australia. I live in California. We're still in contact though. For the record, he recently told me he should have only saved /r9k/.

A torrent client and a keyboard. I've found most web-based resources to be rather lackluster for anything that isn't English or Japanese, and YouTube videos are a rabbit hole. Russian resources, for example, were very lacking. I haven't heard good stuff about Duolingo and it just looks and sounds like a procrastinator's dream. With most languages, you should in general learn the script/alphabet (if applicable), get a grammar sheet or two, and learn some vocabulary and get ready to try and contextualize stuff. Try buying a (reputable) college book on Korean or pirating it like everyone is supposed to. I don't know much about Korean, so take this with a grain of salt, but this seems to be the most reputable beginner level resource:
http://www.amazon.com/Integrated-Korean-Beginning-Textbooks-Language/dp/0824834402/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1260972037&sr=8-1

>>19802
I already know the alphabet; Korean is known for the easy alphabet and hard as hell grammar. Anyways, thank you! The book you found looks like a good find, positive reviews and cheap compared to other highly rated books I found. Good looking suggested books too. I'm probably going to pool resources for a college book, pirating's never been my thing even though I have no fucking money.

Good chance you already heard of several or all of these, but…

Lingodeer is a bit better app than Duolingo. More structure, teaches words in context and grammar right away.
If you already know a lot of words and grammar u can use Naver dictionary to learn more. Naver has a whole subsection of their website dedicated to foreign speakers and learners.
HiNative is made by the people who made Lang-8, it's an app where you can ask natives questions but again, assumes you know at least some basic shit. Speaking of Lang-8, they stopped new signups but if you just happen to have one from a while ago it could be useful.
Youtube and web Talk To Me in Korean. I haven't used it because I'm lazy and stubborn but they have free courses, native speakers, and free Youtube videos on all sorts of subjects. I heard people say they got very far with them but IDK about quality, sorry. Just throwing things at the wall here.


Or make a new (separate) Twitter account and post in Korean and ask questions while posting about daily life or your interests. I'm only in the super beginning phases of Korean, so I'm not much help beyond this, but I really see this as a good step since it kinda forces you to practice.

Make some Korean friends somehow. Whatever you do, at least try to be genuine with them in terms of friendship. If you just want a language partner I'm sure you could find one by asking around.

I have heard that written and spoken Korean can be very different, so keep that in mind if you didn't know that already.

Don't be afraid to make mistakes. Learn from them. Mistakes will be funny and you'll laugh at them later on down the line. Oh no, that's generic language learning advice…

I don't really care as I know most of the story by heart from the manga. It seems adequate enough but JJBA's style is inimitable in anime form. It's a manga first by nature. This can be said for any adaptation but Jojo in particular is so idiosyncratic in its own way that it's impossible to get the feeling across in any other medium.
