@spiderwebsoft What are your thought's on using AI to generate text and conversation in games, a la Ghostwriter at Ubisoft? Would/do you use it for that?

[Warren Davies @WarrenDaviesDev]

@jmechner @colehaddon @goodreads Like Battlestar Galactica

@tsv_stacks Sweeeeeet glad it was useful!

everyone post your most salient line of code

Big fan of this - Nightdrive, made in canvas by James Stanley: https://t.co/CVYf8xutGr

He has a cool explanation here too: https://t.co/t8dM2SbSyU

Incredibly, his site is part of a web ring! Haven't seen one of those since 1998.

@HistoryofPersia The narrative episodes are obviously great, but I love these deeper dives into the more day-to-day stuff too. Interesting that they put a lot of effort into developing the value of gratitude in children (or maybe just the habit of it, but still...)

@ewainy You've only just left The Shire, which to your credit, is something most folk never even do! Keep heading towards the mountain, the path will present itself along the way... and it may not be the path you expected to take... [cue deep yet optimistic music]

[Warren Davies @WarrenDaviesDev]

holy crap, he's right! It's pretty cool too: https://t.co/CN1243U0QT

Fun fact:

98% of developers don’t know that StackOverflow has a landing page 😝

looks interesting - pyscript, a way to run python code within html tags #Python #webdev

Ahhh, so apparently the deal includes paying off some of SE's debt, so the final price paid will be higher. That makes more sense now.

[Warren Davies @WarrenDaviesDev]

At $300m #SquareEnix's #TombRaider (etc.) price seems like a bit of a fire sale. For reference:

* TR sold ~14.5m copies
* Rise ~11.8m
* Shadow had sold 4.12m by the end of 2018 (Sept release)
* Microsoft paid $100m for xbox rights to Rise (which later came out on PS4 anyway)

apt vs apt-get - what the difference is and when to use one over the other

WHAT, #SquareEnix apparently selling off a big chunk of its operations and IP, including #TombRaider, to Embrace Group for... $300m??

A nice good bird's-eye view of what's involved in data analytics for gaming by @TheDishnawy. As he explains, the same principles would apply to games, websites, apps, or anything really https://t.co/IvZHAp6Cvw

@JohnKubie @SimianSeminar @DrGBuckingham yeah, there's two things going on. The pink snowflakes rotate back and forth, and when they connect, they create a "pink space", and the white snowflakes can rotate within it.

Who made this GORGEOUS effect?

[Warren Davies @WarrenDaviesDev]

@itsgorain @SanskarTweets 10 PRINT "HELLO"
20 GOTO 10
RUN
?

[Warren Davies @WarrenDaviesDev]

@athomas_jr Congrats! It'll depend on what the place is like. For me the main hurdle was getting to grips with large and unfamiliar codebases, as opposed to greenfield projects I'd built myself and knew inside out. Working with devs much better than me was really really useful.
