@fiery grottoSpeaking of peglin
I got the cheese guard combo twice

fiery grotto
#

nicee

terse basalt
#

And once I tried every single relic custom run

#

you know what happened?

fiery grotto
#

do you watch Aliensrock?

terse basalt
#

no

fiery grotto
#

he has played like 50 peglin videos and he played balatro 2 times

terse basalt
#

I got over the integer limit in 0.2 seconds

fiery grotto
#

LOL

terse basalt
#

it doesn't matter

fiery grotto
#

yeah

terse basalt
#

because the enemies died before the peg even finished

terse basalt
#

The other time I had a squirrel still bouncing on the pegboard while Peglin is already attacking

fiery grotto
#

also aliensrock is gonna play the game probably like 10 more times after full release

terse basalt
#

I didn't even know how I got there

fiery grotto
#

Peglin be wild some times

terse basalt
#

Once I used Cheat Engine to hack the memory
And I found out
your HP is actually decimal

#

not actually stored as an integer

fiery grotto
#

huh

terse basalt
#

It just shows the rounded values

terse basalt
#

which I can confirm by seeing it rolled over to negatives

fiery grotto
#

true

#

didnt even think about that

terse basalt
#

Imagine your current damage being "Infinity" or "NaN"

#

@fiery grottoDoes demon wall kill you if you have round guard?

fiery grotto
#

demon wall?

terse basalt
#

a castle boss

fiery grotto
#

you mean act 2 boss

terse basalt
#

yeah

fiery grotto
#

I believe so

terse basalt
#

Another unrelated thing is there's literally a relic called Alien's rock

fiery grotto
#

yeah!

#

it was named after him

terse basalt
#

I think Minecraft once named the Etho Slab in an april fools version after EthosLab

fiery grotto
#

also peglin created a platform game in demo with an egg thatt cant fall to far or dies

#

and has a high jump

fiery grotto
#

yeah

terse basalt
#

Just seen it on the steam page

thoughts on this?

sacred radish
#

I'd say that it has enough originality and different-enough mechanics to stand out!

#

Plus it was made in Scratch. Have you ever used Scratch? This is impressive for the engine.

#

I overall think Monster World is worth playing even if you already have STS.

#

it's short, sweet, and different-enough.

jovial steeple
#

There were some mechanics, but you can clearly tell it was directly inspired to the point of copying. Not trying to dog the developer or anyone's love for it. I wonder how it would have came out if the developer spun it a little more their way is all.

jovial steeple
#

I mean whats the line between inspiration and directly copying?

Pretty cool designs tho

I don't think they are stored somewhere accessible to users in like a folder somwhere

I think implementing an existing game in a different platform (or the same platform) is a good way of learning

balatro.wiki is your best bet probably

i recommend when yuo play dont try and take all of the cards out of the box just use 60-100 of each deck at a time

because there are like 1000 of each deck

tall topaz
#

oh i will not listen to that lol

you should it will save u lots of time

#

i mean feel free to pick the box apart and look at all the cards

Bang with all expansions taught me better than not playing with all cards

tacit moon

I dont want to save time, i want to play one game for hours lmao

if you have 4 players the game takes several hours

@atomic arrow (WoTC discussion continued from elsewhere)

After typing out an absolute essay (and deleting it), I guess I will just say that with Magic, they only have ever shown 3 ways to change/affect gameplay: banning/restricting cards, deciding to never use certain set mechanics again ("banding", as an example) and most recently, "alchemy" for Magic Arena (which I do play).

The alchemy stuff really sucks the most. In a way to try to balance gameplay, they are also hurting players by no longer rewarding wildcards when a card is altered. Here is an example: you use 4 of your hard-earned wildcards to craft a really cool creature that is the heart and soul of your deck (you can use a max of 4 per deck in most formats). WoTC comes along, sees that the card is a bit too strong, so they alter it with a nerf, and it completely loses all value to your deck. You get nothing in return except for 4 worse cards than you initially wanted. So while it is a gameplay decision they made, it also affects the business (in a positive way... for them)

#

Another side-effect is that with alchemy, they now allow cards that feel more hearthstone-esque: than your traditional magic card. The format I play the most, "historic brawl" (kind of like 1v1 commander) has all of those cards in the pool, and there is really no viable way to escape them, as a player.

#

#

I never got into MTG but generally I dislike the idea of outright banning cards or mechanics because it just continually restricts the play space. But I realize that there is often no better option when you are maintaining a physical card game

#

Can't easily patch cards or mechanics to fix the solution, so your only lever left is "is the card allowed y/n"

pulsar basalt
#

if you think about it, it actually increases play space because if something is too powerful then people are restricted to playing into it

hidden notch
#

Sure, if you ignore the possibility of the card/mechanic being properly balanced

neon mantle
#

@hidden notch and that is what they were trying to solve with Alchemy, since you can't really re-balance a physical card (or at least, they never came up with an official way to do so)

#

The end result was that they have a new format to push digital packs of and they no longer have to compensate players in Arena when a card is deemed "too powerful"

atomic arrow
#

I think digital design space opens up card games a lot

#

I much prefer tweaking cards on the fly rather than banning them

neon mantle
atomic arrow
#

Or avoiding something forever

atomic arrow
neon mantle
#

I think that we need to remember that magic is what, 25 years old? There was never a concept of a digital TCG for Magic's formative years, so this was never really thought about or explored. That also means the fanbase is a bit more "old school" with what they enjoy in a card game. I don't think it is any secret, but MTG players are usually quite opinionated and gate-keepy

hidden notch
#

MTG has a lot of stuff it needs to be careful about due to it's age and physical format

#

Iirc the card back is entirely unchanged since the original run to ensure compatability

atomic arrow
#

more TCGs that don’t care about the wording as much please

#

Grokkable > literal

hidden notch
#

The problem with changing the correct interpretation of physical cards is that it becomes increasingly difficult to keep up and ensure you are playing correctly and not breaking rules

#

It's already hard enough for casual players

atomic arrow
#

Because ultimately they usually only matter for edge cases

neon mantle
#

people getting annoyed I am constantly asking to look at their card to remember what it does lol

atomic arrow
#

And in most of those cases you’d need the rules anyways to distinguish between them

hidden notch
#

It's hard enough for casual players to learn those deeper interactions once, if they are constantly shifting then casual players will wash out even more than they already do

atomic arrow
hidden notch
#

I mean it is an issue, just one that's avoided by not changing them often and banning cards instead

atomic arrow
hidden notch
atomic arrow

#

Well both myself and MrWizzrd have been talking MTG which is held to the fact that they are physical cards and get balanced as such

#

Obv with digital cards you have the whole world of ideas and you can basically change anything at will

#

Totally different beast

neon mantle
#

Yeah, sorry for not being super clear, but I have been talking about MTG this whole time which has a design conflict between physical and digital versions of the game

atomic arrow
#

I mean that was clear, and I thought it was clear I was talking about digital card games

Are you playing some kind of ranked mode? I'll be real and admit if I am playing brawl and someone counters my first spell, I sometimes scoop. Either way, playing against control can be painful.

I think bottom line is something tilted them

or maybe dinner was ready lol

past matrix
#

still who keeps a hand with like 5 tapped lands, a consider, and a Tamiyo?

neon mantle
#

It's hard to say because I don't really play competitive anymore (used to play exclusively historic and then explorer for a while), and I never played B01. From what I can gather, B01 strategies are sometimes just "go all in on this thing and scoop if it doesn't work", so that is why I am thinking they just got tilted. Maybe they were running control themselves and were hoping you were in a creature heavy deck? Maybe they kept a hand with lots of lands because they need them in their deck, but failed to hit on subsequent draws? Really tough to speculate, but a quick scoop after a single counter usually (to me) means they just don't want to spend their time playing against control 🤷‍♂️

ashen granite
#

std::move() on a pointer is a no-op, right?

terse basalt
ashen granite
#

ah

terse basalt
ashen granite
#

it's so weird that pop_back() doesn't return the popped value

terse basalt
#

sometimes you want to just trash the last value

#

in which case the overhead is unneccesary

terse basalt
ashen granite
#

oh yeah... gosh darn it C++

#

I was about to mention "so why does it work in Rust?"

#

(answer: no move constructors)

terse basalt
ashen granite
#

in C++ the compiler is basically forced to run the move ctor unless it's trivial, right

#

(then it can optimise it out)

terse basalt
#

this is not just C++'s problem

#

lots of languages use pointers in place of concrete data in containers

#

and moving them is cheap

ashen granite
#

yep

terse basalt
#

If you want to store raw data in containers

#

and don't move it out

ashen granite
#

but those would likely be refcounted / garbage collected

terse basalt
#

when you pop it

#

C++ has std::shared_ptrs

terse basalt
#

you have to either destroy the popped element or move the array

ashen granite
#

actually... I know too little C++ to answer that

#

you're calling the move constructor of message through the emplace_back

terse basalt
ashen granite
#

ah

terse basalt
#

which is why moves must "leave the object in a valid state"

ashen granite
#

but that'd be calling the d-

#

yep

terse basalt
#

A not so good analogy is that
you still need to destroy the old house to build something else there
even if you moved out all the furniture already

ashen granite
#

I was treating destructors like Rust's Drop, which isn't the same

terse basalt
#

Also the difference between refcounting and GC

ashen granite
#

yep, but shared_ptr introduces more indirection and refcounting

terse basalt
#

More indirection?

ashen granite
#

C++ is just different to Rust, I should stop comparing the two

terse basalt
#

Rust assignment doesn't deep copy right

#

it just "copies" like C++ shared_ptrs

ashen granite
#

it does copy (effectively memcpy the bits from the old to the new)

#

there are no reference counts

terse basalt
#

weird

#

most other langs don't

#

like Java or Python or whatever

ashen granite
#

yep, those are garbage collected

#

ObjC has some weird refcounting thing too

ashen granite
#

the compiler will elide most trivial memcpys if necessary

terse basalt
#

What about e.g. socket objects?

ashen granite
#

are they immovable?

terse basalt
#

COPY

#

socket objects are conceptually uncopyable

ashen granite
#

ah, right, I see the confusion - moves in Rust are bitwise copies, there can only be one valid reference to it

terse basalt
#

I was talking about copy semantics

ashen granite
#

if you have a socket, then move it into a vector, the previous reference stops working (the compiler will check that)

terse basalt
#

What about copies

#

are rust objects value semantics or ref semantics

ashen granite
#

you need to explicitly opt into copies

terse basalt
#

What about a = b

ashen granite
#

value semantics, with a nice pointer type basically

#

let a = b is a move, you most likely want let a = b.copy()

terse basalt
ashen granite
#

more like "C++ does auto copy? that's rude"

#

copies are explicit in Rust, moves are explicit in C++

terse basalt
#

at least in almost every other lang

ashen granite
#

I would say that in Rust, let a = b is effectively a renaming of the variable a to b b to a

#

you can't access b any more afterwards

ashen granite
#

sorry, yes

terse basalt
#

in C++

#

Also for custom types only if it's really expensive to copy and you just don't want anyone to copy it you can Foo(const Foo&) = delete;

ashen granite
terse basalt
#

pBase clone(){return pBase(new Derived(*this));}

ashen granite
#

oh god

terse basalt
#

Why on earth can't shared_ptr just store the copy ctor alongside the dtor

#

Or add a copyable_ptr, idk

ashen granite
#

IMO, Rust is worth learning as a C++ programmer, moreso if you don't fully get move semantics (I think you do get it, though)

terse basalt
#

I find C++ better over any other language :)
I like the primitive vibes and the OOP at the same time

#

Though I find it incredibly annoying that we don't have an IMPLICIT std::shared_ptr<T>(T* const&&) constructor

#

because instead of writing sptr create(){return new Foo();},
I HAVE TO WRITE sptr/auto create(){return sptr/*ugh*/(new Foo());}

#

Or auto create(){return std::make_shared/*ugh, and also no weak_ptr support*/<Foo>();}

ashen granite
#

T* const&&? const rvalue reference to a T pointer?

#

I was just about to mention make_shared

terse basalt
#

However, as someone on SO pointed out, there's a reason

#

(pointer+offset) is a rvalue

#

and std::shared_ptr<Foo>(fooPtrAlreadyManagedElsewhere+3) is terribly wrong

#

You might not realize it even e.g.
pFoo oops{foop.get()+4/*point to second member*/};

#

Also I uhh

re: random seed speedrunning, I think it allows for more skill expression that set seed

i just didnt like the guy who was putting down random seed runners

lethal python
#

Both require extreme skill, and ‘casually’ performed are still beyond what I can do, but I understand the point that if you’re trying to go for a WR specifically then random seed (in most games) just boils down to reset after reset after the WR gets whittled down low enough

#

Still requires the same level of skill, just a lot of time is ‘wasted’ resetting instead of showing said skill

def JugTrig(...):

Seriously?

atomic arrow
terse basalt
#

you have to define the functions seperately

#

or use frickin' lambdas

atomic arrow
terse basalt
#

Because if you have a single class for a trigger

atomic arrow
#

Then you have an ABC for triggers, a class for specific types of triggers, and instances for specific Jokers

then you still have the issue

you're introducing another hiearchy

#

I’m picturing every game event as a trigger

spare sierra
#

Speaking from experience here - there are 100 terrible ways you can implement a game like this and all of them work. I know because I picked one of them

atomic arrow
#

From special cards to shop/blind/etc.

spare sierra
#

However you think makes the most sense for yourself may not work for someone else

terse basalt

#

atomic arrow
#

Handling events is something I never learned so it’s something I think about

#

I even asked about it in this server before

terse basalt
#

Joker triggers are during play
they may receive info like current blind, etc

#

The shop trigger needs not know about the current blind

spare sierra
#

But they are all terrible - any time you have this many rules and exceptions baked into code it breaks down any kind of neat and tidy design

atomic arrow
terse basalt
#

@atomic arrowAlso, an extremely ugly approach that nobody should use:

Juggler = type("Juggler",(Joker,),
    {
        "trigger":...
    }
)
terse basalt
#

These must be seperate from shop triggers

#

In Balatro the class of Joker cards is literally 'Card'

atomic arrow
#

Maybe not for user input like mouse

Same as playing cards/vouchers/etc

So you can convert an Ace into Jimbo

atomic arrow
terse basalt
#

I was just emphasizing

atomic arrow
#

Besides theory optimization

spare sierra
atomic arrow
#

That’s a bad way of describing it

#

Algorithm design is better I think

#

(As opposed to a specific implementation)

terse basalt
atomic arrow
atomic arrow
spare sierra
#

It's basically multiple queues, each event by default blocks the previous event in the queue, and they can have some 'delay' or 'condition' associated to firing

#

But it also incorporates lerping, simultaneous events, recursion, it's really a Jenga tower barely standing on its own weight

#

One of the part of Balatro I loved designing the most though

atomic arrow
#

Lerping?

fathom flint
spare sierra
#

If you are interested in game design, lerping is massively important. Linear interpolation

#

Basically easing a value from one thing to another

#

Or nonlinear too

atomic arrow
#

That I could figure out from googling

#

But not how it factors in

spare sierra
#

Where all the juice comes from

atomic arrow
#

Also I’m confident in the math part

#

Just not so much in the programming part

spare sierra
#

Best way to practice is to do - there's a wonderful talk where these 2 devs basically create a simple game and layer on various forms of easing to juice it all the way up

atomic arrow
#

Because for most problems I need to solve I could just write a .py or .jl file then call from it with different data or change it directly when needed, and it just processes a calculation

spare sierra
#

I'll link it one sec

atomic arrow
#

What I envisioned for an event system was some master object that handles it and multiple lists for different types of event listeners to subscribe to

spare sierra
atomic arrow
#

Specific actions send warn the master object when they execute (before/after) so they can see if any listeners care

spare sierra
atomic arrow
#

But there’s some inefficiencies and other things I don’t know how to do, like “when should an object subscribe” and “how to integrate with other systems”

#

Like when do Gold Cards would subscribe to the list?

#

When created? When a Blind starts? When drawn?

#

(I’m just using Gold Cards as an example if I were to try and think how to implement it)

terse basalt
#

You read from the "prev board" and write to the "next board"

#

then flip()

#

And when you flip you generate a "fix map" which maps the old board pointers to new pointers

#

and you update these in the code that wants to refer to the new board

#

remaining refs to the old board are fine as we use refcounting

#

And yes, I have an action queue

#

which is just an event queue

spare sierra
#

When you press play

terse basalt
#

So it's like at_play(...)

If you think that's dumb you're probably right
