18:57	mr_lou	Small WIP video of my current game project: https://youtu.be/RNs6HqXhp3c
19:02	aditsu	huh, that's pretty cool!
19:03	mr_lou	I think it's cool considering it runs on a standard Blu-ray player. :-)
19:03	aditsu	it only runs on blu-ray?
19:04	mr_lou	Yes. But that includes PlayStation 3 and PlayStation 4 and Xbox One.
19:04	aditsu	well, nothing that I have :p
19:04	mr_lou	Although, the controls on PS3 and XB1 aren't that good. So the "official" platform is for PlayStation 4.
19:05	mr_lou	The controls for VLC and Kodi aren't good enough yet either. You can play it on PC with PowerDVD though.
19:05	mr_lou	But PowerDVD isn't free.
19:05	mr_lou	VLC (and Kodi I think) will be better in the future.
19:06	aditsu	anyway, it looks (and sounds) better than any game I ever made :)
19:09	mr_lou	heh.. and how many have you made? ;-)
19:09	mr_lou	It's easy when you can use assets from OpenGameArt.org for free. ;-)
19:09	mr_lou	Then you can focus on the coding.
19:11	aditsu	around 10 maybe.. but none recently
19:13	mr_lou	O_o
19:13	mr_lou	Really?
19:13	mr_lou	Where are they?
19:14	aditsu	not sure I can find them easily.. some of them are probably on an old disk in a drawer somewhere
19:14	mr_lou	Java games?
19:16	aditsu	I think I wrote some in pascal, maybe some C++, not sure about java
19:16	aditsu	I wrote a Go bot in java, and a sudoku solving assistant (kind of)
19:17	aditsu	they are not exactly games, but related
19:17	mr_lou	mkay
19:20	mr_lou	10 games is a lot I think.
19:20	mr_lou	The UFO Game! is only my 5th game I think.
19:20	mr_lou	Takes time.
19:20	mr_lou	Well.... not counting the crap I did in BASIC on my Amstrad CPC as a kid...
19:21	aditsu	well, they're not like professional finished products, just some stuff I hacked together :p
19:21	mr_lou	I did make an Amstrad CPC game in recent years though.... so... 6 games.
19:22	mr_lou	No wait, I count wrong. It's still just 5 games.
19:22	mr_lou	One of them is just ported to 3 platforms.
19:23	mr_lou	Ukko's Journey. :-) Java phones + Blu-ray + Amstrad CPC. :->
19:24	aditsu	ah, there's one thing you can see, that I wrote in java; it can barely be called a game though, it's more like a learning tool
19:24	aditsu	http://japanese.aditsu.net/hiragana/
19:30	aditsu	most recently I wrote http://cube.aditsu.net/ in js + css
19:44	mr_lou	Cool
19:44	mr_lou	Always wanted to learn japanese.
19:45	mr_lou	(Added to the list of a thousand other things I've always wanted to do)
19:45	aditsu	ほんとに？
19:46	mr_lou	:-P
19:46	mr_lou	Since my Amstrad CPC era I've also always wanted to learn how to code 3D.
19:46	mr_lou	Not fast paced shooter games. Just rendering something in 3D.
19:46	mr_lou	Learn the basics behind it. Plotting a 3D model into 2D space.
19:47	aditsu	css makes it pretty easy
19:47	mr_lou	I don't want it easy.
19:47	mr_lou	I want to learn/know the math behind it.
19:47	mr_lou	And understand it.
19:47	aditsu	I wrote a 3d editor in high school (in pascal), using all the maths :p
19:47	mr_lou	Nice
19:47	aditsu	wireframe only
20:01	aditsu	mr_lou: here's some fun mathy stuff: http://www.aditsu.net/rose.html
20:01	aditsu	explanation at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maurer_rose
20:02	mr_lou	I've done lots of those shapes.
20:02	mr_lou	Just experimenting.
20:02	mr_lou	Even back in my BASIC days.
20:14	mr_lou	aditsu, So you speak japanese? Fluently?
20:14	aditsu	haha, no, just a few words
20:15	aditsu	and I still struggle with reading hiragana
20:15	aditsu	btw, there's a guy on youtube who speaks almost every language in the world
20:15	aditsu	mr_lou: what's your native language?
20:16	mr_lou	I'm from Denmark. We speak danish.
20:16	aditsu	oh right
20:17	mr_lou	I know you told me where you're from too, but I also forgot.
20:17	mr_lou	I'm old. What's your excuse? ;-P
20:17	aditsu	Romania
20:17	aditsu	I'm old too :)
20:17	mr_lou	hehe
20:18	aditsu	can't find him speaking Danish, but here's some Finnish: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_5_KFRd5ITk
20:18	aditsu	(along with a bunch of other languages)
20:18	mr_lou	Say, you wouldn't happen to know anything about writing ISO files to USB sticks? I've spent almost all day on it today. Trying to get it working on Windows.
20:18	aditsu	dd (in linux)
20:19	mr_lou	I write the ISO to a USB with dd command on Linux. And Linux can read it fine. Same can my Blu-ray player, and Dune HD Smart D1.... but Windows? No.
20:19	mr_lou	Windows refuse to read it.
20:19	aditsu	maybe there's something wrong with the filesystem inside the iso
20:20	mr_lou	I've tried many.
20:20	mr_lou	Some I made myself. Some downloaded. None of them works on Windows.
20:20	aditsu	on usb you should use vfat or exfat for max compatibility
20:23	mr_lou	Hmm...
20:23	mr_lou	But ISO's are with ISO9660 or Joliet or UDF usually..
20:23	mr_lou	*with = usually
20:23	aditsu	well, why does it have to be iso?
20:24	aditsu	iso's are usually for optical discs, right?
20:26	mr_lou	Because I want to make USB versions of our Blu-ray projects - and because when I write an ISO to USB it apparently also becomes write-protected - and that's important.
20:26	mr_lou	If there were some other Write Once Read Multiple solution for USB devices, that would work too.
20:27	aditsu	nothing on usb is really write-protected.. unless the usb drive has a mechanical switch for that
20:27	mr_lou	I know people say that - but still I have to say that they become read-only when using dd to write an ISO to USB.
20:28	mr_lou	That's what I see.
20:28	mr_lou	And that's certainly better than a plain normal USB.
20:28	aditsu	you can use dd again to write something else
20:28	mr_lou	Yes.
20:28	mr_lou	That's fine.
20:28	mr_lou	As long as people can't accidentially delete a file.
20:28	mr_lou	That's my main goal.
20:34	aditsu	well, can't help much with windoze.. I guess you've already tried googling?
20:35	mr_lou	All day.
20:35	mr_lou	I found a post that seemed to indicate that Windows simply can't read USB sticks with ISO9660 / Joliet filesystem.
20:35	mr_lou	Every other platform can, but not Windows.
20:35	mr_lou	Ok then...
20:36	aditsu	I think the most Danish I can remember is: jeg taler ikke dansk
20:36	mr_lou	hehe
