If no mistakes are found I'll hand out turn 13 in a couple hours.

stessier · Post by **stessier** » Thu Feb 19, 2009 8:57 pm

Twitch is good.

Shinjin · Post by **Shinjin** » Thu Feb 19, 2009 10:06 pm

Twonky is good, though facing an unhappy Turn 13...

Remus West · Post by **Remus West** » Thu Feb 19, 2009 11:12 pm

Give me a nice high move 2 please. I need to taste some revenge for that damned big one.

Oh, and I should only have 2 damage as I was killed last turn and virtual this entire turn. Nothing could have done damage to me beyond the two I started the turn with.

You have me getting shot in phase 3. I should have gotten a 7th card for my hand. A good one please.

Remus West · Post by **Remus West** » Thu Feb 19, 2009 11:20 pm

I'ma shut down for next turn though anyway.

Virtual = no bot interaction. You still interact with the board. man page

Ah. My fault, I thought virtual meant that I did not interact with anything. Live and learn a card down I guess.

Is this your announcement for shutting down on turn 14?

srdaniel · Post by **srdaniel** » Fri Feb 20, 2009 4:52 pm

test...

Isgrimnur · Post by **Isgrimnur** » Fri Feb 20, 2009 4:55 pm

Nifty. How hard was it?

A blank buffer might be in order to show a definite start/end point. And perhaps a bit more of a delay between steps.

It also appears to be missing Phase 2.

srdaniel · Post by **srdaniel** » Fri Feb 20, 2009 7:29 pm

Using GIMP 2.0 it was super easy. Each "frame" of the animation is simply another layer of the GIF and when you save the GIF, GIMP asks a bunch of questions, such as delay and what not. Going to spend a bit more time on it now that I'm at home. Just to see what can be done.

I don't know. I can adjust the time between each frame but it really doesn't change much. I think ultimately I would like to see the bots actually sliding around rather than just teleporting from one location to another. However I don't want to spend that much time building a neato animation.

Yep. I figure I may as well try and get healed or die for good.

Going to start soon if I get the last hand...

Well maybe tomorrow...

Laser only when he can't be pushed was perfect.

Whats the howitzer card look like again? Does it not shot in straight lines? Cause I didn't think I could get shot phase 1(not that it matters as I ended up where I was trying to be if not with the intended facing...)

Not sure what you mean.

The order is:
- bot's move
- board effects
- fire / laser effects

So after the board effects you are in a straight line with Twitch. Is there something I'm missing?

Shinjin · Post by **Shinjin** » Wed Feb 25, 2009 12:30 am

I'll come back with 2 damage (not powered down), east facing

Isgrimnur · Post by **Isgrimnur** » Wed Feb 25, 2009 12:33 am

Salvaged from Page 6...

And Twitch has a straight line shot on you after movement in Phase 1.

Clearly you overlook my stupidity. I was looking at the start pic and wondering how he shot me.

Should I have gotten 7 cards rather than 6? I have 3 damage and still have the Extra Memory option.

stessier · Post by **stessier** » Mon Mar 02, 2009 8:59 pm

Sorry I haven't turned in my hand yet, but I still think I get (and could use) another card.

You would have to go look but I thought that thing gave you a single card which you kept until used not an extra card each turn.
