Also in my language, you don't declare anything and everything is a double, even arrays, which don't have any real limit (assuming you don't actually use all of the space). Good enough for my needs really.

I'm a little confused, is it a C++ interpreter, or is it an interpreter for a language you created?

pokemon go is not an mmo.

it's an ARG.

Considering it's also massively multiplayer and online, I'd argue that it's also an MMO.

It doesn't have to be one or the other.

Also, this pokemmo is getting a C&D as soon as Nintendo's lawyers see it.

About 70% of our household income goes to bills including food, it's a little rough. The $1700 mortgage payment is the toughest.

70% is almost twice as much debt as what you should have.

Your debt should be equal to around 40% of your income.

Seems to me like bills include more than just debt....

Heat, power, water, rent/mortgage, other debts (loans, credit cards, etc), and insurances should be 40%. I am assuming he is not spending 30% on food.

Most people don't consider utilities and rent as debts. Those are living expenses. Debt means owing money to a credit company or bank loan.

Banks and lenders consider them to be debt.

The first job I had where I didn't get paid by my parents was working at Walmart returning carts. It was really boring, and paid minimum wage. Not great. That said, it was planned from the beginning to be a job for the summer, so it was always a temporary situation.

My first job without an end date was as a software engineer after I graduated college. I'm still there, so I must be doing something right.

As far as I can tell there's a specific register that can be set to switch between the two modes:

http://problemkaputt.de/pandocs.htm#cgbregisters

FF4D - KEY1 - CGB Mode Only - Prepare Speed Switch
This register is used to prepare the gameboy to switch between CGB Double Speed Mode and Normal Speed Mode. The actual speed switch is performed by executing a STOP command after Bit 0 has been set. After that Bit 0 will be cleared automatically, and the gameboy will operate at the 'other' speed.

On Android (or on my phone at least) you can check by opening up the WiFi settings and tapping on the connected network.

It should have a dialog pop up things like the link speed, security type and frequency.

You're on your own for iOS (I assume you don't have a Windows Phone).

As for changing it; I thought at one point you could set the frequency band that you wanted to use, but I don't see that option on my phone, so maybe I'm wrong.

Tough question.

If you end up investing all of what you get from either option, and assume a conservative 3% yield per year, the $5k per month beats out the $1m after about 24 years. Less conservative estimates are better for the $1m option though.

$1m would be a good amount to have invested somewhere, but if that's all it is, I would probably not want to let it affect my standard of living very much, since I'd keep it out of my day to day finances.

The $5k on the other hand (assuming it's tax free) is equivalent to a roughly $80000 raise, which is pretty significant, and I could use that when planning my day to day spending.

I think the $1m is probably better for the long term in my case, so I'd probably choose that.

Bayes' Theorem: P(A|B) = (P(B|A) * P(A)) / P(B)

Possible combinations:
BB
BG
GB
GG

Probabilities for each of those events:
P(BB) = 0.25
P(BG) = 0.25
P(GB) = 0.25
P(GG) = 0.25

P(Count(G) = 0) = P(BB) = 0.25
P(Count(G)>=1) = P(BG) + P(GB) + P(GG) = 0.75
P(Count(G) = 2) = P(GG) = 0.25

So, using Bayes' Theorem:

P(Count(G) = 2 | Count(G)>=1) = (P(Count(G)>=1 | Count(G) = 2) * P(Count(G) = 2)) / P(Count(G)>=1)

= (P(Count(G)>=1 | Count(G) = 2) * 0.25) / 0.75

So the only thing left to figure out is what is P(Count(G)>=1 | Count(G) = 2)?

Well, in words, that means the probability that the number of girls is greater than or equal to 1, given that the count of girls is equal to 2.

Obviously, given that the count is 2, the probability of the count being greater than or equal to 1 is 100%, or 1.0.

So putting that back in our equation above:

P(Count(G) = 2 | Count(G)>=1) = (1.0 * 0.25) / 0.75 = 0.3~, or 33%.

ok, I went through it a bit more even though I should be sleeping.

you're kind of right.

what it is is that spritebatch queues up its draws. he calls LocalSpriteBatch.End();, which processes all those calls to the render target, but he then draws the rendertarget with the other spritebatch and keeps that one running. he queues up all the rendertarget draws that way, but he destroys the rendertarget each time before the spritebatch ends. when he finally calls end on the outer spritebatch, it runs through its queue and draws only the rendertarget in its final state in each case.

this needs to be fixed by calling end and begin on the spritebatch more often. (it would also be fixed by, like you said, using separate render targets). for example, if you do this at the bottom of that draw method:

spriteBatch.End();
spriteBatch.Begin();
spriteBatch.Draw(renderTarget, position, sourceRectangle, Color.White, rotation, origin, scale, effects, layerDepth);
spriteBatch.End();
spriteBatch.Begin();


it fixes the problem (because the spritebatch now draws the render target immediately), although some of the other graphics get lost (mostly the central area).

gonna go to bed now...

Oh you beat me to it. :(

Yeah, that's another option than using separate textures for each frame.

I think you may just be blocking the issue from being visible by doing that (whoa does that ever eat memory fast).

He seems to be drawing all images to all frames, instead of each image to its own frame. (if you add two different images, they both appear on both frames). but I can't tell exactly where or what it is causing it because the code is so messy and I'm too tired. if it manages to remain unsolved till the weekend I will probably tackle it on saturday.

As far as I can tell, renderTarget is a texture that gets written to by the calls to LocalSpriteBatch.Begin/Draw/End, then that texture is passed to spriteBatch.Draw. That Draw call stores a reference to the texture, which actually gets rendered when spriteBatch.End is called (after the call to DrawUI is completed).

So he's telling spriteBatch to render the same texture in several different places. By the time End is called, it iterates through each place it was told to Draw and draws the texture (which at this point is not changing) at each one.

By using a separate texture for each frame, you do what you actually expect and render what you drew during the call to AnimationSetFull2D.Draw.

Okay, so I think I may finally have an idea of what's going on.

I'm not very familiar with the semantics of XNA/monogame, but as far as I can tell, the problem has to do with using a single RenderTarget2D for every frame.

I spent some time playing around, and it seems that the last frame that gets drawn to the render target is what gets rendered to every location where that render target is used (i.e. each of the Frame Selectors, as well as the 'Project' draw call).

Adding this line to the beginning of the AnimationSetFull2D.Draw method "fixes" that problem (I say "fixes" because you end up allocating memory every frame, and eventually the process slows to a crawl, so this is just a proof of concept).

public void Draw(GraphicsDevice graphics, ref SpriteBatch spriteBatch, float Frame, Vector2 position, Rectangle? sourceRectangle, Color color, float rotation, Vector2 origin, float scale = 1f, SpriteEffects effects = SpriteEffects.None, float layerDepth = 0f)
{
var renderTarget = new RenderTarget2D(
graphics,
graphics.PresentationParameters.BackBufferWidth,
graphics.PresentationParameters.BackBufferHeight,
false,
graphics.PresentationParameters.BackBufferFormat,
DepthFormat.Depth24);
...

Maybe each frame needs its own RenderTarget2D object?

Hopefully that helps pinpoint the solution.

since SomeProperty returns a copy of the value and not an object, assigning a value to the property of the copied value does nothing.

You'd want to do something like C.Position = new Vector2(C.X, C.Y);, and the same thing with Origin.

Vector2 is a struct not a class, it has value semantics

Actually that's working as intended (for all I know), I don't want a seperate texture for every frame. Plus the texture itself has no say in where it's drawn.

Ah, maybe I misunderstood the problem. It's not that after you add the image it shows up in every frame, it's that the position data is the same for every frame?

Edit: Ignore everything below here; I'm wrong. Sahuagin corrected me below.

Taking another look, I see that Position and Origin in SingleLimbAnimationState are both references:

public Vector2 Position = new Vector2(0, 0);
public Vector2 Origin = new Vector2(0, 0);

Inside SingleLimbAnimationState.Clone() you're copying the references to the Position and Origin:

public object Clone()
{
SingleLimbAnimationState C = new SingleLimbAnimationState();
C.InterpolationType = InterpolationType;
C.Rotation = Rotation;
C.Scale = Scale;
C.Name = Name;
C.Colour = Colour;
C.SpriteEffect = SpriteEffect;
C.Layer = Layer;
C.Position = Position;
C.Origin = Origin;
return C;
}

So if you're updating the Limb Position directly, since any cloned Limbs would reference the same Position, they would all get updated.

You'd want to do something like C.Position = new Vector2(C.X, C.Y);, and the same thing with Origin.

I'm not familiar with lists, but I can already see the headache of working with arrays that are supposed to change in size during runtime. Maybe once I get it set up and working I'll come back and change that.

Indeed, it looks to me like you're doing a lot of work to allocate new arrays and copy everything from the old array to the new array whenever you want to add things to the array.

Lists are much simpler.

var list = new List<TypeOfThingToHaveAListOf>();

list.add(new TypeOfThingToHaveAListOf());

Also, I think your bug is that in DrawFrameSelector, you iterate over each frame and call CurrentAnimationSet.Draw for that frame, but inside AnimationSetFull2D, you don't have a separate list of textures per frame.

Inside AnimationSetFull2D.Draw:

for (int limb = 0; limb < NumberOfLimbs; limb++)
{
LocalSpriteBatch.Draw(
Textures.Limb[limb], // Texture
Animation.Frame[frame].Limb[limb].Position, // Position
null, // Previously sourceRectangle
Animation.Frame[frame].Limb[limb].Colour, // Color
Animation.Frame[frame].Limb[limb].Rotation, // Rotation
Animation.Frame[frame].Limb[limb].Origin, // Origin
Animation.Frame[frame].Limb[limb].Scale, // Scale
Animation.Frame[frame].Limb[limb].SpriteEffect,
Animation.Frame[frame].Limb[limb].Layer);
}

So once you add a texture, that same texture will be drawn for every frame.

I could be wrong though.
