(3:40:46 PM) kirkjerk: yo
(3:44:34 PM) kirkjerk: anyone paying attention? ;-)
(3:44:38 PM) sixenhaus: hey kirk
(3:44:49 PM) sixenhaus: how's it going?
(3:45:41 PM) kirkjerk: s'good!
(3:46:02 PM) kirkjerk: wondering if I'm breaking the rules by thinking of my next game
(3:46:11 PM) kirkjerk: a little ahead of time
(3:46:46 PM) sixenhaus: yes.
(3:46:50 PM) kirkjerk: FUCK
(3:46:53 PM) kirkjerk: Oh well.
(3:47:02 PM) sixenhaus: the klik thought enforcers will be arriving at your door shortly
(3:47:03 PM) kirkjerk: I hide behind the guidelines of cheating encouraged.
(3:47:14 PM) kirkjerk: actually i had a hell of a warm up
(3:47:18 PM) sixenhaus: for re-education
(3:47:28 PM) kirkjerk: i'm gonna go back to that java stuff i was doing
(3:47:34 PM) sixenhaus: oh, cool
(3:47:41 PM) kirkjerk: and make an action game based on Conway's Game of Life
(3:47:46 PM) kirkjerk: 2d cellular automata
(3:48:07 PM) sixenhaus: in two hours? this sounds crazy and awesome.
(3:48:12 PM) kirkjerk: as a warm up this afternoon, I started plotting 2D life in 3D to make translucent blue sculptures
(3:48:14 PM) kirkjerk: http://kisrael.com/temp/conwayice/
(3:48:21 PM) kirkjerk: I AM CRAZY AND AWESOME
(3:48:47 PM) kirkjerk: IF I HAD 5 OR MORE PARTS 2 MY NAME, 2 OF THEM WOULD BE "CRAZY" AND "AWESOME"
(3:49:29 PM) kirkjerk: but jeez, I'd better order pizza now
(3:49:47 PM) sixenhaus: YOU SHOULD GET A LEGAL NAME CHANGE TO KIRKRAZYAWESOME ISRAELKSTREME
(3:50:03 PM) kirkjerk: HELLZ YEAH
(3:50:17 PM) sixenhaus: hey, that's kind of pretty.
(3:50:48 PM) sixenhaus: any plans to make it develop in real-time or anything?
(3:50:52 PM) kirkjerk: yeah, not as nifty as I had hoped, but pretty, and absolutely geektastic
(3:50:59 PM) kirkjerk: it wouldn't be that hard of a mod
(3:51:15 PM) Haze_R: HEY GUYS
(3:51:21 PM) kirkjerk: HEY HEY HAZE
(3:51:40 PM) sixenhaus: oh man, kirk, i just had a really dumb idea
(3:52:22 PM) sixenhaus: what if you made those procedurally generated levels for some platformy game? some of the mid-density ones look like sandcastle towers
(3:52:57 PM) Haze_R: i completely missed 24 hour comic day today
(3:53:05 PM) sixenhaus: oh man, that was today?
(3:53:09 PM) Haze_R: so i will make my game something to do with comics probably
(3:53:14 PM) sixenhaus: excellent
(3:53:30 PM) kirkjerk: Heh, my housemate is doing that
(3:53:31 PM) sixenhaus: make an overambitious comix zone fansequel
(3:54:09 PM) Haze_R: i should find some comics to steal art from
(3:54:17 PM) kirkjerk: if he had mentioned it, I mighta saved a place at the comics store he's at -- it's not a neccesity of 24 hour comics day, but seems like it would be a lot nicer
(3:54:32 PM) kirkjerk: so then I'd be doing a comic rather than this
(3:54:34 PM) sixenhaus: rob liefeld 4 lyfe yo
(3:54:36 PM) kirkjerk: but still
(3:54:43 PM) kirkjerk: glad to be here
(3:54:57 PM) kirkjerk: Is ApM about, or all too busy being fatherhooded?
(3:55:48 PM) sixenhaus: he's been idle for a while, i think.
(3:56:44 PM) kirkjerk: right, he already did his game right? wonder if he'll show up or just his ghost holding the channel..
(3:57:16 PM) kirkjerk: that's not a bad platformy idea
(3:57:34 PM) kirkjerk: in fact i was thinking about doing something like that in 2d at first
(3:57:45 PM) kirkjerk: then in my warmups, i realized it might not be as slick as i thought
(3:58:59 PM) sixenhaus: oops, i think i'll have to start a bit late.
(3:59:04 PM) kirkjerk: !!
(3:59:06 PM) kirkjerk: :-(
(3:59:19 PM) sixenhaus: :(((
(3:59:25 PM) kirkjerk: whazzup?
(3:59:36 PM) sixenhaus: just have to go pick some stuff up for my parents.
(3:59:42 PM) sixenhaus: be back soon, hopefully!
(4:00:06 PM) kirkjerk: :59....
(4:00:36 PM) kirkjerk: GOGOGOGOGO!
(4:00:49 PM) sixenhaus: shitshitshit

(4:01:17 PM) ItsPizzaTime: Greetings true believers
(4:01:35 PM) kirkjerk: yo!
(4:01:58 PM) kirkjerk: welcome to the special 24 hour comics day edition of glorious trainwrecks
(4:02:07 PM) kirkjerk: or, err, whatever the name of this event is
(4:02:15 PM) kirkjerk: not that i'm doing anything w/ comics, at all, in my game
(4:03:05 PM) ItsPizzaTime: I did Outrun last time, this time I am totally going to do Afterburner
(4:03:07 PM) kirkjerk: i am so cribbing from my old code and other people's life code
(4:03:10 PM) kirkjerk: nice
(4:03:15 PM) kirkjerk: you did the one w/ the scaling?
(4:03:19 PM) ItsPizzaTime: Yeah
(4:03:23 PM) kirkjerk: brilliant
(4:03:33 PM) ItsPizzaTime: It will be interesting to see if I can get it done in two hours
(4:03:37 PM) kirkjerk: really great in the It Can Do That?? sense
(4:12:03 PM) Haze_R: great it's displaying everything in 256 colours again
(4:18:42 PM) Haze_R: i gotta reboot D:
(4:20:08 PM) Haze_R left the room (quit: ).
(4:23:38 PM) Haze_R [n=hazeracc@75-143-65-242.dhcp.aubn.al.charter.com] entered the room.
(4:32:52 PM) BiggerJ [n=BiggerJ@dsl-58-6-85-217.sa.westnet.com.au] entered the room.
(4:33:22 PM) BiggerJ: congratulations, you are the first force on the planet in years to get me out of bed at this hour
(4:33:36 PM) kirkjerk: local time?
(4:34:02 PM) BiggerJ: i usually have trouble hauling myself out of bed before around ten
(4:34:12 PM) BiggerJ: iit's not long past nine now
(4:34:32 PM) BiggerJ: in my local time, klik-of-the-month started at 8:30
(4:35:20 PM) BiggerJ: i'm not angry though. i should really start getting up earlier
(4:38:38 PM) BiggerJ: i'm going to try modifying Mz into a sequel
(4:38:50 PM) BiggerJ: it won't just be a level change
(4:41:18 PM) ItsPizzaTime: I thought Mz was great and I own an optical mouse
(4:42:20 PM) BiggerJ: yeah, it turned out my failure was all me
(4:43:12 PM) ItsPizzaTime: The combination of the resolution and the the touch the walls of the maze and you fail gameplay is what made it great
(4:43:46 PM) ItsPizzaTime: Do a sequel where you control four different mazes at once
(4:44:28 PM) ItsPizzaTime: Though it would probably take more than two hours to work out how to make them different but still completable at the same time
(4:46:29 PM) BiggerJ: ooh, moving walls in multiple simultaeneous mazes
(4:49:55 PM) sixenhaus: okay
(4:50:02 PM) sixenhaus: 70 minute klikening
(4:50:04 PM) sixenhaus: i can do this
(5:19:54 PM) ItsPizzaTime: I don't think I will be able to ;_;
(5:21:26 PM) kirkjerk: shit
(5:21:29 PM) ItsPizzaTime: I might have to do a different game real quick
(5:21:32 PM) kirkjerk: i think i just lost everything
(5:21:34 PM) kirkjerk: fuck
(5:21:52 PM) ItsPizzaTime: oh snap kirk
(5:22:24 PM) kirkjerk: it was unbelievably sweet
(5:23:36 PM) kirkjerk: fuccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccck
(5:23:51 PM) kirkjerk: oh thank god
(5:23:54 PM) kirkjerk: i saved it
(5:23:58 PM) ItsPizzaTime: hooray!
(5:24:11 PM) BiggerJ: huzzah
(5:24:18 PM) kirkjerk: but now i have to put up or shut up w/ the unbelievably sweetness
(5:24:30 PM) BiggerJ: also, i just finished making my sorta-sequel to Mz
(5:24:32 PM) Haze_R: like last month i'm stuck and don't know what to do
(5:24:38 PM) kirkjerk: sweet jesus fuck was that scary
(5:25:04 PM) ItsPizzaTime: I'll have to start on my second game right now if I want it done before the deadline
(5:25:17 PM) ItsPizzaTime: I'll finish my first idea later
(5:31:21 PM) BiggerJ: just so you know, the sequel to Mz was an edit of Mz, but it was a clever edit that took about an hour so that balances the universe out
(5:33:01 PM) sixenhaus: it is cool dude since Mz was going to be your early mail-in entry anyway, right?
(5:33:10 PM) BiggerJ: yeah
(5:33:22 PM) sixenhaus: so all is right with the world
(5:38:34 PM) kirkjerk: IF YOU LOVE SWEET RICH CELLULAR AUTOMATA YOU'LL LOVE MY NEW GAME, "CONWAY WEST"
(5:38:46 PM) sixenhaus: oh god yes
(5:38:55 PM) sixenhaus: fantastic title.
(5:39:09 PM) ItsPizzaTime: excelsior!
(5:39:54 PM) ItsPizzaTime: I am probably the only man on the planet other than Stan Lee who uses that word
(5:41:11 PM) kirkjerk: god, i rock so hard. 20 minutes and all i need is a title and end screen
(5:46:39 PM) sixenhaus: my epic shadow of the colossus sequel is nearly finished too
(5:46:46 PM) sixenhaus: now with more helicopter
(5:48:37 PM) ItsPizzaTime: I am almost finished my dominatrix assassinates the diplomat espionage action game
(5:48:42 PM) ItsPizzaTime: It even has a four player mode
(5:50:17 PM) ItsPizzaTime: Well, will if I can finish the main game first
(5:52:04 PM) BiggerJ: nine minutes left
(5:52:13 PM) sixenhaus: okay. almost there
(5:52:14 PM) kirkjerk: sixenhaus: you made me giggle
(5:52:23 PM) kirkjerk: (re: now w/ more helicopter)
(5:52:36 PM) sixenhaus: well i mean i was like: what if he falls off?
(5:56:58 PM) ItsPizzaTime: Solution: Commander Keen pogo stick
(5:57:30 PM) BiggerJ: three minutes left
(5:57:39 PM) sixenhaus: shit
(5:57:43 PM) sixenhaus: i need a victory screen
(5:59:15 PM) kirkjerk: now in convenient web or zip form! http://kirkjerk.com/features/java/conwaywest/ or http://kirkjerk.com/features/java/conwaywest/conwaywest.zip
(5:59:48 PM) kirkjerk: ah, how shall i luxiriate in my extra minute
(6:00:02 PM) sixenhaus: bastard.
(6:00:08 PM) sixenhaus: why don't you gloat some more
(6:00:15 PM) ItsPizzaTime: six, rip the game over screen from my Kick The Hobbit game I did for the Pirate Kart.
(6:00:16 PM) sixenhaus: you and yer fancy minute
(6:01:15 PM) BiggerJ: time's up
(6:01:34 PM) kirkjerk: except for the cheatin' time
(6:01:43 PM) ItsPizzaTime: I actually got done
(6:01:47 PM) kirkjerk: zipping, uploading, adding victory screen, what's the diff
(6:01:49 PM) ItsPizzaTime: Multiplayer has no end screen though
(6:02:30 PM) kirkjerk: so i guess everyone should be sure to put a link etc on the glorious trainwrecks site, right, esp. 'cause ApM ain't around and about
(6:03:34 PM) BiggerJ: blog entry, comment on the page for this event, and add name to the page that list the klik of the month events
(6:03:49 PM) BiggerJ: and kirk, your game is just genius
(6:04:42 PM) kirkjerk: oh shit, now i have to go from crazy bluster mode to aw, shucks.... so, thanks
(6:05:12 PM) BiggerJ: everyone add a blog entry about your game for additional findability, then link to it in a comment at http://glorioustrainwrecks.com/?q=node/49
(6:05:14 PM) ItsPizzaTime: Either my genius game sense is tingling or I have feathers down my jocks.
(6:05:36 PM) BiggerJ: and this page needs to be updated - http://glorioustrainwrecks.com/?q=node/44
(6:06:16 PM) kirkjerk: oh, i hadn't made a blog entry before
(6:06:38 PM) sixenhaus: i don't think it's really necessary, unless you'd like to make one
(6:06:54 PM) kirkjerk: well, i'm chatty, so it might make sense
(6:07:02 PM) sixenhaus: fair enough!
(6:07:58 PM) kirkjerk: actually, though, i think the first priority needs to be a comment at http://glorioustrainwrecks.com/?q=node/49 , so if there's a chance you might forget to link to your blog, put it there first
(6:08:17 PM) ItsPizzaTime: I totally put myself on the title screen of my game except I inadvertently made myself look like Jesus
(6:12:19 PM) sixenhaus: http://sixsecondfiesta.googlepages.com/Kolloss2.zip
(6:12:58 PM) kirkjerk: pizzatime, i can't follow your link
(6:13:03 PM) kirkjerk: on the comment page
(6:13:27 PM) sixenhaus: yeah, the title can only lead to a permalink for the comment
(6:13:52 PM) ItsPizzaTime: Now that I know that I have edited thusly
(6:14:32 PM) sixenhaus: kirk, this is wicked.
(6:15:25 PM) kirkjerk: ASSASINATRIX IS RIGHT SEXY
(6:15:57 PM) ItsPizzaTime: If KnP could handle it I would do a sequel that is like Bangaioh
(6:16:12 PM) ItsPizzaTime: Only you control the enemy
(6:16:19 PM) ItsPizzaTime: And have to shoot the player
(6:16:36 PM) kirkjerk: is AA winnable?
(6:16:49 PM) ItsPizzaTime: I didn't have time to make it winnable
(6:16:55 PM) ItsPizzaTime: old school!
(6:17:17 PM) kirkjerk: it's ok. I'll just relish the sexy and take it as a lesson in existentialism
(6:18:16 PM) kirkjerk: hey, hazer never came back
(6:18:29 PM) Haze_R: I'M HERE
(6:18:33 PM) Haze_R: but i kinda gave up

(6:18:40 PM) sixenhaus: : (
(6:18:42 PM) sixenhaus: why?
(6:20:14 PM) kirkjerk: great SFX on Kollosus
(6:20:32 PM) ItsPizzaTime: Kollosus is hilarious
(6:20:36 PM) sixenhaus: ripped wholesale from rise of the triad!
(6:20:44 PM) ItsPizzaTime: GAMES ARE ART! GAMES ARE ART!
(6:20:57 PM) sixenhaus: did you guys figure out how to win AGAINST ALL ODDS
(6:21:12 PM) ItsPizzaTime: not yet
(6:21:18 PM) sixenhaus: (which hopefully works since i barely tested it)
(6:21:23 PM) ItsPizzaTime: I will use my spider sense
(6:21:26 PM) kirkjerk: ooh rescue helicopter
(6:22:47 PM) kirkjerk: i got a bug
(6:23:34 PM) kirkjerk: somehow i shrunk the penghuin
(6:23:36 PM) kirkjerk: i think
(6:23:40 PM) sixenhaus: keep at it!
(6:23:40 PM) ItsPizzaTime: I just found the bug too.
(6:24:14 PM) ItsPizzaTime: I am sad about the cake though :_(
(6:24:37 PM) sixenhaus: it is sad end :'\
(6:24:51 PM) kirkjerk: i'm so lost
(6:24:57 PM) Haze_R: woo i beat it too
(6:25:05 PM) ItsPizzaTime: It was a lie, the cake was a lie
(6:25:26 PM) sixenhaus: i should've made a weighted companion cube fangame
(6:25:28 PM) ItsPizzaTime: CROSS GENRE POLLINATION
(6:25:42 PM) kirkjerk: i've heard so many cake jokes i don't get lately
(6:25:55 PM) sixenhaus: they may be mostly from Portal maybe?
(6:26:06 PM) kirkjerk: yeah, i figured that much out
(6:26:20 PM) sixenhaus: you should play it perhaps! it's worth it.
(6:26:26 PM) Haze_R: mario please come to the castle i have baked a cake
(6:26:40 PM) ItsPizzaTime: I think it got pushed back to Monday out here
(6:26:48 PM) kirkjerk: yeah, but not quite $60 worth of worth it, and i don't have time to enjoy the rest
(6:27:15 PM) kirkjerk: so any hints for KOLUSSUS?
(6:27:20 PM) sixenhaus: well, you could always grab it solo off Steam.
(6:27:28 PM) sixenhaus: not sure how much it is, though.
(6:27:29 PM) BiggerJ: i've gotten onto the penguin but i don't know what to do
(6:27:44 PM) sixenhaus: hint:
(6:27:51 PM) sixenhaus: think outside the
(6:27:51 PM) sixenhaus: uh
(6:27:57 PM) sixenhaus: keyboard?
(6:28:07 PM) BiggerJ: i think i have an idea now
(6:28:11 PM) sixenhaus: use your heart!
(6:28:15 PM) kirkjerk: oh you
(6:28:23 PM) Haze_R: i kept trying to crash the helicopter to see if that was the answer
(6:28:25 PM) ItsPizzaTime: I could buy it off Steam but I am probably the only person in the world not to have a credit card
(6:28:47 PM) kirkjerk: someone should grab an irc transcript of the event for future reference
(6:28:48 PM) sixenhaus: steam takes paypal, too! i was pretty pleased.
(6:28:52 PM) ItsPizzaTime: I am not in the 20th century just yet
(6:29:07 PM) BiggerJ: i finished it
(6:29:16 PM) sixenhaus: hooray
(6:30:15 PM) kirkjerk: me too!
(6:30:17 PM) kirkjerk: yay
(6:30:25 PM) kirkjerk: zm is brooooooooootal

(6:31:56 PM) sixenhaus: almost!
(6:35:24 PM) BiggerJ: dammit, i accidentally butchered the Klik of the Month wiki page and don't know how to fix it
(6:36:11 PM) BiggerJ: http://glorioustrainwrecks.com/?q=node/44
(6:36:17 PM) BiggerJ: could someone please fix this? i don't know how
(6:37:10 PM) BiggerJ: nevermind, fixed it

(6:39:16 PM) sixenhaus: okaycool
(6:39:44 PM) sixenhaus: five submissions. not bad!
(6:40:02 PM) sixenhaus: i guess next time we should all try to pimp the event as much as possible
(6:40:54 PM) sixenhaus: i mean, there's no reminder or anything for people who have us RSSed or anything
(6:45:28 PM) ItsPizzaTime: Well gents I will be off.
(6:45:33 PM) ItsPizzaTime: Same time next month
(6:45:35 PM) ItsPizzaTime left the room (quit: "http://www.livejournal.com/users/badmspaint/ ARRRRRR! fucking... emo pirates!").

(6:57:13 PM) BiggerJ: welp, bye for now
(6:57:18 PM) kirkjerk: yeah, not too bad, not too great. people should pimp it more like 6haus sayd
(6:57:21 PM) kirkjerk: see ya!
(6:57:27 PM) kirkjerk: thanks for doing the updating
(6:58:04 PM) BiggerJ left the room (quit: " HydraIRC -> http://www.hydrairc.com <- The future of IRC").
