What i need to achieve is to take the size of a 2d array, and an integer that reprisents the amount of sections/chunks that need to be created and output the result. The idea is that the output is closest to the aspect ratio. Per example: With x = 64 and y = 32 (0.5 aspect ratio): 6 sections = 2x3. 10 sections = 2x5. 16 sections = 3x5. etc... I've almost managed to get it working by creating several possibility's based on the input (size and section count) then going through the results to find the best sollution. But, there has to be a simpler way to achieve this, i just can't seem to find it or figure it out. … [Read more...] about How to find optimal section/chunk amount from size ratio
Machinima is a good reminder of just how disposable the internet is
12 years ago, if I was looking for sweet 480p video footage of a new game, I'd probably go to GameTrailers. A few years after that, if I was hunting for new footage, it was probably on YouTube, and odds were good the video I'd end up on was uploaded by Machinima. Today, GameTrailers still exists in name only as a trailer dumping ground on YouTube. And last Friday, after a reorganization driven by parent company AT&T, Machinima suddenly set every video on its channel to private, effectively erasing more than a decade of game-related videos from the internet.If anyone still needed reminding that the internet's history is more fragile than we often assume it to be, well, here it is.For years, Machinima operated as a powerhouse multi-channel network on YouTube, and it had some scandals along the way, with problematic undisclosed endorsements and draconian contracts for creators. Whether or not you mourn the loss of Machinima as an organization, it's striking to see the gaming channel's … [Read more...] about Machinima is a good reminder of just how disposable the internet is
IndexOutOfRangeException on array of transform prefabs in Unity
I have a public array of length 9 containing prefabs I'm using as position references for a moving object. The start function finds the transform.position of the appropriate transform in the array and makes it the target for a Vector3.MoveTowards() function that is called every update. I have an exception for the start function, but the object moves fine. If I print the length of the array on every update, It shows zero every other frame, and 9 otherwise. There's nothing in the script changing the array, how is this happening? I'm using the Linux build of Unity. … [Read more...] about IndexOutOfRangeException on array of transform prefabs in Unity
It looks like Resident Evil 2 Remake will get PSOne-era character skins
Resident Evil 2 Remake is getting very favourable reviews, especially from us: Andy called it a "tense, challenging, and beautiful remake of a classic survival horror game". But it does have one glaring problem, and that's its flagrant lack of chunky, eerily robotic-looking 1990s polygons. Apparently that will change, though.As the image above suggests, ye olde skins for both Leon and Claire are currently available for Japanese PS4 owners, though apparently they'll roll out free for everyone on March 22. According to a user on Resetera (who also provided the gif below), the news was announced during a RE2 launch party in Japan last night, so there's no guarantee these skins will reach Western regions. Why wouldn't they, though?Here's a pic of the Leon skin in action – for the short gif, click over here. … [Read more...] about It looks like Resident Evil 2 Remake will get PSOne-era character skins
Pokemon GO February 2019 Community Day Details Revealed
