04:18 <Thelema5> I'm still hungry, WTH? I've been snacking all day, not sure why. I typically only eat once a day- so this is unusual.
04:18 <Thelema5> I've not been more active or anything
04:23 <ADragonDreaming> no, that makes sense.
04:23 <ADragonDreaming> eating once a day adjusts your metabolism to that
04:23 <ADragonDreaming> from what I know, it slows it down
04:24 <ADragonDreaming> eating throughout the day keeps it going, and grazing throughout the day is likely to keep your hunger active
04:25 <Thelema5> Yeah, but I've done that for a year+. I'm pretty sedentary so I don't require a lot of calories
04:39 <ADragonDreaming> Yep! The grazer still winds up feeling peckish the whole day through.

18:24 * DashedRainbows licks Cepheid
18:26 <Cepheid> How goes it?
18:27 <DashedRainbows> better, it sucks that I can't go out til July
18:27 <Cepheid> If it is any consolation, my mother is in the same boat.
18:28 <DashedRainbows> s/can't/shouldn't/
18:28 <DashedRainbows> that's rough
18:29 <DashedRainbows> what do you tell the donor's family?
18:29 <DashedRainbows> I'm trying to write a letter
18:31 <Cepheid> I haven't a damned clue. My mother has a broken leg, not a broken organ, so no need for such a letter.
18:33 <DashedRainbows> I don't have to send one but I think I should and ouch
18:36 <Cepheid> Mmhmm. It probably would be a nice gesture. But you would have to be careful. It is easy to say the wrong thing.
18:36 <RazorSharpFang> "I will have a part of you [redacted] "
18:37 <DashedRainbows> great example of what not to write
18:39 <Cepheid> "I have assimilated your [redacted]. I am coming for you next."
18:40 <DashedRainbows> the thing is they just had a family member die too so it complicates it
18:42 <Cepheid> Yeah. I know.
18:42 <Cepheid> Got a psychologist or psychiatrist? Next time you see them, ask for their thoughts. They may know better than people like me who lack any sort of sensitivity.
18:43 <DashedRainbows> actually I see her today so I'll ask
18:45 <Cepheid> I don't know why I lack the ability to feel certain emotions, especially around specific situations. Wonder if I should ask my psych.
18:45 <RazorSharpFang> My sis thinks I have anxiety, or an anxiety-related disorder, which is disheartening.
18:46 <RazorSharpFang> She's got clinical depression, ADD, and an anxiety disorder, so she probably knows what she's talking about.
18:47 <Cepheid> Given what I have seen and heard about your and your studies, I am inclined to agree. It is not disheartening though. It is one of the more easily-treated issues.
18:47 <RazorSharpFang> As opposed to the likes of various trauma, or PTSD, etc.
18:47 <DashedRainbows> I'd ask. That's huh
18:48 <DashedRainbows> also it's not that hard to treat just meh
18:49 <DashedRainbows> some lyrica at first does wonders sadly in the US it's off-label for GAD
18:49 <Cepheid> Meanwhile I have anxiety, OCD, ADHD, Bipolar type 1, and anger management issues.
18:50 <DashedRainbows> me just MDD and SAD
18:50 <Cepheid> My brain is broken. Or at least the part that regulates emotion and such.
18:51 <Cepheid> My school now recognizes me as permanently disabled. OSAP actually gave me an extra 883 dollars.
18:51 <DashedRainbows> I used to have GAD but therapy helped a lot
18:52 <Cepheid> Right now my ADHD and bipolar are being treated. My OCD is not. The doctor wants me to manage that personally.
18:52 <RazorSharpFang> I don't know how any of this works.
18:53 <DashedRainbows> well the usual treatment is ssri but bipolar
18:54 <Cepheid> No, my doc specifically stated she wants me to manage it personally through willpower.
18:54 <RazorSharpFang> Is willpower even real?
18:54 <DashedRainbows> exactly since you can't take the meds
18:54 <Cepheid> Basically, to deal with it, I have to learn to become aware that my OCD is kicking in, and manage it somehow. By perhaps forcing myself to do something else.
18:54 <DashedRainbows> they tend to induce mania
18:55 <Cepheid> So far it is so-so. Starting one of the meds, I became OCD over La-Mulana.
18:56 <Cepheid> However, I am gaining awareness of the symptoms, problems associated with it, and I am managing it.
18:57 <Cepheid> La-Mulana 2 induced it again. But after having a mental break over the weekend, I have begun to manage it. I force myself to stop playing after 4 hours. Usually I go off to read, or do design work.
18:58 <DashedRainbows> meanwhile I have the opposite problem where I don't want to do anything
18:58 <Cepheid> Anyways i am gonna pack up, grab one last snack, then wander off to lecture hall. Back in a bit.
18:59 <DashedRainbows> between those and my physical ailments it's hard mode

19:07 <Cepheid> Back.
19:08 <RazorSharpFang> What would treatment for anxiety even look like
19:09 <Cepheid> Usually determining if it is anxiety in the first place, and what form. For myself, an amphetamine is used.
19:25 <Cepheid> Tonight, i think I shall get started on the basics of the map editor I will need for my project.
19:31 <DashedRainbows> gabapentinoids are magic for anxiety before tolerance sets in
19:32 <Cepheid> Tolerance doesn't seem to be an issue for me.
19:33 <DashedRainbows> amphs for anxiety. how odd. I thought stimulants usually made anxiety worse
19:35 <Cepheid> No idea. But i take an amphetamine to help me focus. Apparently it is meant to help me focus despite the anxiety? It outright silences anxiety for me though.
19:36 <DashedRainbows> focus yeah
19:36 <DashedRainbows> depressants ftw
19:36 <DashedRainbows> well for me

21:10 <Cepheid> Off the top of my head, the best way to do an overview would be to space out all the rooms of the world, and then draw connecting lines between rooms.
21:11 <Cepheid> Because then non-euclidean connections can be drawn as a line going from room A to room B.
21:11 <Cepheid> Or from room A to room A but on the opposite side.

21:46 <Cepheid> Huh. All rights of Destiny have been handed to Bungie. Activision no longer owns any of it.
21:46 <Schism|Nocturne> hmmmm. Now the question is, A. can they roll a saving throw well enough to get it back, and B. do they want it anymore?
21:49 <Cepheid> Dunno. But presumably this would allow Bungie to expunge the stuff Activision demanded be put in for the sake of 'fun'.
21:49 <SunsetShimmer> I would say that bungie clearly desire it enough to get the rights back
21:49 <SunsetShimmer> so the next year for D2 will prove interesting for players
21:53 <Schism|Nocturne> Hm. "A Story About My Uncle", a non-violent, swinging, platforming game, is free on Humble for the next while.

22:38 <Cepheid> Home at laaaaast~
22:44 <Cepheid> Schism|Nocturne, you're editing a room(A screen, 64x48 tiles. Though I'm debating doing a 16:9 setup of 198x108.), you want to switch to another room. How would you prefer to do this?
22:44 <Cepheid> I've a few ideas about it, but no idea which approach is most intuitive and useful.
22:45 <Cepheid> The basic approach is a drop-down list, listing all the rooms by an internal name given by the designer.
22:46 <Cepheid> Next up would be a side-view listing of all the rooms(Might be tricky, due to wanting to avoid clutter of the UI.), each with a thumbnail, and their internal name above/below the thumbnail.
22:47 <Cepheid> These approaches can be delegated to a dialog window, for the record. Though I'd prefer to avoid that if I can.
22:48 * Finwe hats on Ali.
22:49 <Finwe> Almost home.
22:49 * Ali squeaks
22:49 <Cepheid> And finally, since the main view will support showing the current room, and the four adjacent rooms connected, if any, I'm debating a simple "switch to this adjacent room" function using a popup menu.
22:49 <Cepheid> Said popup menu can also follow any connections such as doorways in the currently viewed room.
22:50 <Finwe> It's snowing again.
22:50 <Finwe> o3o
22:50 <Cepheid> Yes, well, that happens during Winter in the colder regions of the world.
22:51 <Finwe> And sometimes even in the summer.
22:59 * Finwe throws a snowball at Cepheid.

23:14 <Schism|Nocturne> Cepheid: I'd have an overlay of the sections of the room which lead to an adjacent room or area, said overlay being just a colour transparency which can be toggled at a button press. You could also have a dropdown for other purposes, of course.
23:14 <Schism|Nocturne> Mousing over the transparent sections would tell you which room they lead to, and double-clicking could load up that room.
23:17 <Cepheid> Mmm, hold CTRL, ALT or something, it shows the overlay, and you click or double-click the relevant boxes to switch to that room.
23:18 <Ali> And hitting Alt F4 will reveal all the rooms! *shot*
23:19 <Schism|Nocturne> Well, I would suggest something more like a button at the top to reveal those overlaid elements. I'm assuming that you want to be able to right-click an element in order to adjust its settings.
23:19 <Cepheid> True.
23:19 <Finwe> Ali: Type /disco for flashing lights in IRC.
23:20 <Schism|Nocturne> And /part for a party!
23:20 <Finwe> o3o!
23:20 * DashedRainbows licks Ali
23:20 * Ali has been on IRC too long to fall for the part one
23:20 * Ali squeaks at DashedRainbows
23:21 <DashedRainbows> So cute
23:21 * Ali puffycheeks, not cute
23:21 <DashedRainbows> Even cuter
23:21 <Schism|Nocturne> Cephy: In particular I'm thinking of the Twin Labyrinths, where there are multiple room exits which can lead to entirely different ones - though that was more like a door-esque warp.
23:22 * Ali ish not cute!
23:22 * Finwe ruffles the cute unicorn.
23:22 <Finwe> o3o
23:24 <Cepheid> Schism|Nocturne: Ah, right, those. Yeah.
23:25 <Schism|Nocturne> Cephy: In regards to all that, are you also considering a thematic layout for 'areas', like La*Mulana, Metroid or the like?
23:25 <Cepheid> Of course.
23:26 <Cepheid> Right now though I'm just focusing on getting an editor going, 'cause without a proper editor, I can't do anything, not even create an engine.
23:27 <Cepheid> I'm gonna go for a text-based file format from the editor, that's compiled into a binary format.
23:27 *** Joins: Pinmane (Pinmane@Pony-vdcche.elisa-laajakaista.fi)
23:27 <Schism|Nocturne> Then why not create just a broadsheet-esque program, where you can add, remove, and adjust the /visual/ locations of the rooms to suit your needs? That way you can have multiple copies of each room on that screen at once, and move them about for a better flow of how they connect. Doubleclicking a room would then open it and let you edit it directly, but that visual layout wouldn't affect gameplay in the end.
23:28 <Cepheid> Hmm, that could work yeah.
23:29 <Schism|Nocturne> Admittedly, I'm working from a MUD- or Infocom-like design here, where rooms aren't connected in a necessarily logical fashion, but instead have actions which move the player from one point to the next.
23:29 <Cepheid> The trickiest aspect of it all will be the non-euclidean nature.
23:29 <Ali> bless you
23:29 <Cepheid> Rooms that cycle upon themselves, etc.
23:30 <Cepheid> Or, heavens forbid, areas that literally overlap.
23:30 <Cepheid> There's no easy way to represent such cases.
23:30 <Ali> Or pull a Zelda 1 or Mario 1 where the same room repeats itself until you figure out the puzzle to it.
23:30 <Schism|Nocturne> Mm.
23:31 <Schism|Nocturne> Ali: Heh, that was a part of La*Mulana in a few spots.
23:31 <Cepheid> Yep.
23:33 <Cepheid> Regarding loops like that, it'd be easy to do wherein on the world overview display, you have a line originating from one side of the room, curving around and pointing to the opposite side of the room.
23:33 *** Joins: JonTheVGNerd (JonTheVGNer@Pony-48j.p7d.45.70.IP)
23:33 <Schism|Nocturne> Yup.
23:33 <Cepheid> Which is why I'm thinking a grid with spacing between all the rooms.
23:33 <Cepheid> Because that space between the rooms can be used to show connections.
23:34 <Schism|Nocturne> Definitely a thing, but a more freeform display might work better, especially if you overlap elements.
23:34 <Cepheid> Yeah.
23:34 <Schism|Nocturne> For the aforementioned frontside/backside thing, you could overlap them at 3/4s, so that it's evident those two are conjoined.
23:34 <Cepheid> So simple drag-and-drop rooms, with some sort of button on each side that you click, and then drag the mouse to one of the side buttons for another room.
23:35 <Cepheid> It'd create a connection in the direction specified from the origin room to the destination room.
23:35 <Cepheid> For doorways inside rooms, that's a bit trickier.
23:35 <Schism|Nocturne> Heh. Of course, there are also other tricks you could play...
23:35 <Cepheid> That'd be where the idea of an overlay would work.
23:36 <Schism|Nocturne> For the frontside/backside thing, well... did you ever play Riven?
23:36 <Cepheid> I have, yes. Though that was ages ago.
23:37 <Schism|Nocturne> Ah, well. Do you remember that one room with two entrances, but it would rotate between five different rooms? So in order to solve the puzzle, you'd have to keep rotating it over and over to solve each individual piece in turn?
23:37 <Cepheid> Yes.
23:37 <Schism|Nocturne> Because I'm evil, I'm imagining something like that in your game.
23:37 <Cepheid> As for how the editor will handle doorways, I'll render a translucent box over the doorway in the world overview. Click that, drag to a target room or target doorway.
23:38 <Schism|Nocturne> That'd definitely work.
23:38 <Cepheid> I think I'll use the same translucent overlay for the edges too, instead of OS-specific buttons.
23:39 <Cepheid> Hmm. Next scenario: What to do about the rare case that I forget to connect an edge of the room that the player can reach?
23:39 <Cepheid> I'm thinking "just do nothing, as if there was a wall."
23:39 <Schism|Nocturne> Indeed.
23:39 <Cepheid> It's better than crashing or doing weird stuff.
23:39 <Schism|Nocturne> Maybe have a visual cue, like turn it purple.
23:40 <Cepheid> In the editor, yeah.
23:40 <Schism|Nocturne> Or debug mode, yea.
23:40 <Cepheid> Or even a warning in a log when saving.
23:41 <Finwe> I got a rather puzzling itinerary suggestion for the public transport this evening: https://users.aalto.fi/~vhalkola/Reittiopas.png

23:44 <Finwe> And almost five hours before starting.
