Shinmera Fare: Perhaps Fare can provide some specific feedback later "didn't like", what aspect of it, etc

Shinmera
In my experience many adults, let alone kids, aren't great at formulating why they didn't like something :)
20:08:59
jeosol
Shinmera: I see, "didn't like" seem very general, there is probably some input that Fare may be able to share later with you

Fare
jeosol, I don't know what my kids didn't like, but my limited play with the Kandria demo had too much going in a vast universe without knowing what I was supposed to do. Maybe missing a tutorial bit explaining the things to do in smaller environments, and/or more storytelling.

Fare: Thank you for sharing additional details. This should be a feedack that Shinmera could consider, or add to some list

Shinmera: What I meant was, not that you'd go change it for one user, but perhaps there is a list of feedback, if you see similar concerns or related points, it could be something to consider. Of course, you are the boss here.

like, I think the game should prohibit playing after midnight (up to 6am), to avoid dads forcing their children to play

Hey everyone, got another question regarding "changing running lisp programs". If I want to ship an executable that can still be "changed" at runtime, am I correct in assuming that I have to also ship some "server" facility built-in, like slynk, or is there another way?
20:40:09
jackdaniel
there are some security concerns afair; I don't know whether they apply when you are listening only to localhost connections on a "safe" machine

I think changing a running lisp program is usually done via a REPL, where everything you need is already builtin

I forgot that my actual question was the follow-up, sorry, a little disorganized today :) I'd like to use this while developing the program as well, so have it running while interactively changing it from my emacs. I could do that via sly directly, but I don't yet know whether that also works with long-running stuff and something like an ncurses interface. That's why I thought having a REPL be part of the program might be the/a

When I was testing deployment options for my web app, I had swank on a port and hunchentoot on a different port. Normally, I want to reload a particular system after updating some code on server (git pull). After connecting to remote swank, I can then send reload command. It worked but sort of cumbersome

kenran
jackdaniel: sure, it shouldn't always have to run, right. Should it be started in a separate thread, so interacting with it works smoothly?

I went down to fix the pipes and when returning I did a little exploring, jumped down a hole to explore a tunnel and couldn't get back :joy:
21:48:45
Shinmera
everyone I watched discovered it on their own after a bit, often in exactly that spot.
21:49:14
Shinmera
I stand by my decision, because there are other mechanics as well that aren't tutorialised, either.

Was putting duct-rigged instead of jerry-rigged intentional? Seems very strange as a native english speaker

left/right mouse buttons are much more intuitive for combat than the displayed z and x keys
