Reminds me of a harpy

Yes, it is a harpy! But I didn't wanted mix up birds and mammals, so I put bat-like wings.

i like it! since harpies sometimes are also described as chimera created by black magic it would be ok, but as a real species it seems much more authentic this way. i hate it when artists give everything female breasts without thinking about the fact that only mammals need them.

looks very promising reminds me of some enemies (puppet master stuff) in naruto shippuuden.

Thank you for the test app! The animation is so wonderful. It's so lifelike, I instinctively want to shoo the lizards away from my monitor.

I didn't play fez. When I see it, it always reminds me of "Super Paper Mario". Even this flying hypercube reminds me of the Pixl Tippi in Super Paper Mario.



edit: ah, Udderdude pointed this already out.

Yeah, I expected something like that

That might be true, but it is chili according to their rules, not traditional chili, but people's choice chili.

[PEOPLE’S CHOICE CHILIL [sic] MUST CONTAIN BEANS]

@SlGVATR: I don't care if chili should not contain beans, because I like chili with beans. In the ICS Rules and Regulations for cooks at the World’s Championship there is an interesting paragraph:

10. People's Choice Chili is governed by the SPONSORING ORGANIZATION and cookoff chairman of each cookoff, NOT THE ICS. The chairman can require (a) 2 gallons maximum in lieu of a cash entry fee; (b) 1 gallon maximum in addition to a cash entry fee or (c) a cash fee. Non-compliance by a contestant of the chairman’s requirement will result in disqualification. Discrimination by cookoff officials will result in non-sanctioning of their event the following year. PEOPLE’S CHOICE CHILIL [sic] MUST CONTAIN BEANS.

So I don't think they are totally against beans.

cool find! never heard of it before. i always looked at this list: http://code.google.com/p/thrift-protobuf-compare/wiki/BenchmarkingV2
messagepack looks very nice for games.

hey they moved the wiki and have a msgpack test now: https://github.com/eishay/jvm-serializers/wiki/Staging-Results

If you are vegan and able of understanding German you might want to look at the source: http://www.veganguerilla.de/rezepte/

i eat everything as long my pretty non-existant morale (when it comes to non-human creatures) allows it. i avoid stuff at the cruelty level of bear bile. i dont believe in things like natural order. sometimes my mouth waters when i see living animal's muscles, i think this is pretty normal for omnivorous creatures. i know eating meat in these modern times is rather illogical since there are many resource saving alternatives, but food is an emotional thing for me and often leads to great pleasure.

Does anyone watch this strange sometimes homoerotic eat meat anime Toriko? I quite like this series

anybody watched Yakitate!! Japan? ^^ since i read asterix and obelix as a child i have some kind of obsession about food depicted in comics and other non-realistic graphical media.

does anyone know why in many shonen food plays such a major role? i think it has something to do with japanese culture, but would like to know why. i sometimes have the feeling that in asia a "balanced" diet is much more linked to health and power than in other culture areas.

You might want to look at http://lucene.apache.org/core/ lucene.

You might want to use java.util.logging. Also beware of String concatenation.

Played Race for the Galaxy and Jaipur 30min ago with my gf. Both great relatively short games for two (or in case of Race for the Galaxy up to 4) players! So I second the recommendations

Wizard is a classic in my family.

http://brettspielwelt.de/ has some nice games to play online for free (playing online is nothing compared to playing in rl, but you might get a feeling for some games mentioned here).

I think most if not all browser games do PvP in this or a very similar way. In many strategy browser games you send units to an opponents setup. So it is not really setup vs. setup. In many browser-based "rpgs" (e.g. Shakes and Fidget) your character (in your terms "setup") fights other characters in a non-interactive way.

The only thing that I think doesnt exist yet, is the "deterministic" way of computing the outcome, at least from the players perspective.

I think your idea works well.

@Kryonet: What anonymous functions? It allows to expose objects and interfaces over network in a very simple and elegant way. It has very few LOC and is easy to understand.

NIO is indeed not that easy to use, but it is not that hard either.
http://code.google.com/p/kryonet/source/browse/trunk/kryonet/src/com/esotericsoftware/kryonet/UdpConnection.java is imo very concise.

Mina is not the successor of Netty.

Try Mina or Netty. There are several NIO libs that try to make it easier.
http://mina.apache.org/udp-tutorial.html

btw whats your problem with kryonet? It is very easy and lightweight.

The Java Standard Library has builtin networking. If you just want bytearrays, use the DatagramSocket or DatagramChannel: http://thushw.blogspot.de/2011/06/asynchronous-udp-server-using-java-nio.html

If you want more highlevel stuff try Apache Mina or JBoss Netty.
