well it's also part of the fact that I'm a "nudist" so once we get it all up I can grill out in the backyard butt neked.

That guy on the other side of that fence though is just the image of america. Other side of that fence is a $300,000 pool/outdoor kitchen, and the guy himself is a sleeve tatted, roid raging, likes to scream at my wife, but cowers around me, douchebag supreme.

Also, it was fun to learn how to build a fence. My step dad in law has taught me a lot of poo poo, high voltage electrical wiring, fence building. . . and I teach him computery poo poo in return.

Yeah, I've basically told the wife at this point that if he shows up in any way, tell him to sit tight and get me. Wife is a big "i've got a gun, I can handle it" kind of person, I'm more of a. . . if you want to get in my family, or my face, let's do it personal and if it comes to it I can stab you, kind of person.

He threatened to sue us because we had to replace a drain line made with old orangeburg pipe that had collapsed and *gasp* got some dirt on his grass in the process.

Valeyard posted:

Wish I could have, I can build the next section nude, because the folks who live behind us are in their late 80's, don't give a gently caress if I'm nude, and in general are cool as hell (just sad they're going the wayward route of life and might not be around for long, but they're nice as can be and will have a conversation for hours even if I'm just standing there naked).

The husband is an old mailman, and my big dog will bark like crazy until he walks up and looks at her. . . he always goes "you walk the streets delivering mail for 35 years, eventually dogs know not to gently caress with you"

yeah, that's the thing. I'm kind of more into micro controllers right now, and we use them a loooot at work, (our Electro-Mech guys almost exclusively use the BS2 Stamp). But I dunno I'd really like to just play around with a lot of this stuff more and more.

On a few occasions, last time was after the old lady got her hip replaced (her husband hasn't really been able to navigate stairs for 5-6 months at all, and she does with difficulty) and she warned me her kids, and grandkids would probably be about and to make sure I had something on if I heard folks in the backyard.

Glad I did, came out one afternoon, and her 15 year old grand daughter was hanging over the fence petting my dogs, and wanted to talk about chiptune music that I was working on. I plan on putting a gate on the one along the back, cause even if they pass, if their kids move in, their kids are pretty cool, but walking around naked in sight of a child, or anyone who has an issue with it = no bueno.

She's told her kids about me, in the case they move back. . . but like I said, they're cool too, and I'd hate to lose a good neighbor cause of a privacy fence, but I'd hate more to lose a neighbor, getting arrested, and put on a registry because their children saw me cutting the grass wearing nothing but boots.

c# is pretty great, if you wanna do something game-ish then it + unity really are your best bet.

definitely dont use javascript that's a disaster in the making for any project of significant size (which im guessing yr final year project is)

c# is a nice language and the unity javascript stuff is not worth learning. if you want to roll with javascript then Phaser is supposed to be nice

fair enough. I have just seen quite often that a lot of documentation and examples seem to favour javascript for some reason. but c# will be fun to use. Phaser looks really cool, thanks for that. it reminds me of the guys at Jagex and how impressive it is that they managed to do Runescape in javascript and now html5

oh yeah my final year project..

well, very tentatively speaking, if I could get someone to supervise me just making some sort of game in unity, using c#, then that would be perfect

the safety choice will be another webdev project using django since i know i could probably do something interesting with that and also find someone to supervise that

outside of that, I am still not really sure what else just yet

I wish that were the case, but honestly, i could almost see it out of this guy. . .

He has a bunch of expensive poo poo, including a high end pontoon (with no reg numbers/etc) on the side that he used to roll the trailer into his backyard, and have a party all night, with nothing but women in bikinis.

He might be overcompensating, no clue.

Dudes a jackass though (and normally I don't walk around nude in the backyard, unless I know he's away, or it's late at night and his motion sensing lights in his backyard aren't on).

so i dont know the name of the kind of computer i am thinking of but its old as gently caress and its like the computer entry is a series of binary switches and on the front of the machine is lights indicating binary data or something


anyway i dont know mch about them but since reading a book on assembler ive been really intrigued


so im going to imagine out loud this "project" . i am thinking arduino but i dont know


im picturing this board
th input is a series of 8 switches. each represents a bit. youre entering instructions into a simple computer
and on the right maybe it has like 8 instructions i can hold. there is a light indicating what instruction will be performed next
so you're coding this simple 8 bit computer that has like 8 bytes of memory
and it can perform instructions on itself like add two numbers or move memory
and so you program it. and run it
and also i think maybe display as hex? itd require a LOT of led things to come off a smal ardy

as i type this out it seems less cool
