  4. Adieu to lobby!

    If you don't want that people can get a rough estimate where you come from by looking up the Geolocation of your IP, you should only interact with the web and games via VPN. (I also hope you don't use any social media like Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, whatever. (Besides Mastodon and such))

    But sure nobody should reveal information about anyone without consent. (Even if the information is some kind of accessible to all)

    56. Something else I'm contemplating is replacing the AI's resource gain (Medium 100%, Very Hard 160%) with resource costs and build time multiplier(s), e.g. Very Easy 200%, Medium 100%, Very Hard 50%. Any suggestions on how to do that?

    rP21256        changes the difficulty, so you can look where the difficulty is set. Then you could look where this variable is used.

    I can also supply short mp3 files with actual pronounciation of some of the quotations, to play when loading :D

     

    Or we could have my expert guys do it, I have the most superb Latin and Greek scholars close to me here.

    Maybe they want to do some voice recordings for in-game?

    Say a 30 minute 1v1 game on a small map taking 5-10 minutes to simulate, a 60min 4v4 on a normal map with 150 pop 60+ min. Which means you can simulate somewhere between 20 and 50 games per day with a casual desktop computer and your CPU/cooler won't be happy

    Good analysis. But if you consider, that 0ad mostly runs single-threaded, you can multiply that number by 3

  20. Parallel GPU-based A* algorithm in pathfinding

    in Game Development & Technical Discussion

    Posted

    I think reducing retries in pathfinder and threading the pathfinding calls should give us enough performance. Also iirc the bottleneck is not our global JPS pathfinder, but the local vector(not sure if it was really called like that) pathfinder. But @wraitii should be able to tell you more, as he already started improving the pathfinder some time ago (better shortrange pathfinder, less retries and threading). He uploaded some WIP on D13

    As societies become less religious, the collective of atheist moral codes also becomes more divergent. 

    I'd say (and I'm not alone with that) humanism is a religion. A religion without any deity, but a religion.
    To reference Yuval Noah Harari: A religion is any belief system that helps coordinating a big crowd of people. Its use is that all people of this crowd have a common base, so they know how someone totally foreign, but from the same group, will behave.

    An atheist is not someone without religion, but someone who does not believe in any deity.

    I can definitely relate... I should probably give his works a proper read. 

    I have both of his books and can totally recommend them. :thumbsup:

    I think that morality is more of a hind sight thing we use to rationalize our actions. We're not nearly as conscious of our own mind as we like to think, and if we can't even correctly assess our own actions, how could we accurately judge the actions of others?

    So true, but nevertheless we shouldn't stop trying to act morally. :)

    Rule based society is a necessary evolution in the human condition. Since we don't live in small semi-nomadic family groups anymore, but in a large urbanized world. We need rules to survive as a group, a country, a global society. I just fear that our technological developments have far outpaced our biological evolution, and we simply aren't as physically and mentally adapted to the modern world as we like to think. There are a lot of unexpected and misunderstood side-effects of the modern world, which makes interpreting the rules or anything else we take for granted a lot more difficult. Creating rules implies that you know what is right and what is wrong, but so many things in this world are counter-intuitive. The road to hell is paved with good intentions. Most people believe that their doing the right thing, yet we live in world with a lot of suffering. 

    Seems like you read Yuval Noah Harari :D
