  • Serialization (with Joanna May)
    2024/12/12
    We invite Joanna May into the clubhouse to discuss serialization. We get ever so slightly closer to discovering what serialization even is with Joanna's help! We also have a little time to throw a little shade at Stephen's commenting style and brackets on their own line.ChickensoftTibo, artist of the Chickensoft mascot.Eating your own dog food (Dogfooding) - WikipediaLogic Blocks - WikipediaSerializationProgrammingToolsSerialization - WikipediaBinaryFormatter migration guide - gewarren, jeffhandley, terrajobst, adamsitnik, Microsoft Learn@JsonSubTypes vs. Reflections for Polymorphic Deserialization in Jackson - Ovidiu Mihai Tacu, BaeldungWhat are the advantages of just-in-time compilation versus ahead-of-time compil… - Stack OverflowIntrospection - jolexxa [Joanna], GitHubIL2CPP Overview - UnityMartha had mentioned unit tests (which Mark and Stephen still don't do) in a previous episode.“That wasn’t the angle I was going for.”Chickensoft Development Philosophy - ChickensoftJoanna MayGuestJoanna May is the creator of Chickensoft, open source tools for Godot and C# as well as a grassroots community.

    2024/12/05
    In this episode Lydia is back to discuss join the clubhouse in both a discussion of her first job, and making a game about set job. But, because the club can't choose, it is also about Ellen's job at her parents' pet store. When introducing Lydia to the concept of a nice games jam, the stages of the nice game jam are referenced. Here are the stages: 1) Panic 2) Prompt 3) More Panic 4) Scramble 5) Oh, we can do this 6) We did this - let’s do more We have throw pillows nowWhile designing this game Stephen mentions the phrase "experience bij." This comes from the 'Star Trek the Next Generation Interactive VCR Board Game."Star Trek the Next Generation Interactive VCR Board Game - Board Game GeekCompilation of "Experience bij." - YouTubePrompt"Create a game based on one of your team’s first job (either gig-based, such as babysitting or lawn mowing or paycheck based), but set in a world with either evil robots, monsters, or aliens."Game typeTabletop gameMaterialsVHS tapeMall mapRulesTakes place in a mall, in a starbaseTheater, retail, pet store, cafeteriaPen and paper RPG, players need to figure out what’s going on outside without leaving the mall/their jobsCommunication is limited somehowNosy kids?Point where we’re in too deep?It’s now a VHS tape/DVD game.Each character has unique roles and abilities based on their jobCafeteria unboxer person, sees recycling bins, can make things out of trashRetail, interacts with customers regularlyPet store, young kid who does mischief thingsTheater, technical expertise, interacts with other staff of theaterMall wide announcements (security, mall, etc.)Different locations have a stack of cards containing information, they have unique ability to access these different decks. Info from cards cannot be talked about, you need to move to another player to give them that information.NPCs move on a track separately, they move during the “computer” turn, the mall is a separate turn/entityNPCs control how much players can move (they may have customers they need to deal with)Each round the players have certain actions, different actions if there are customers in the storeSome cards are gossip (from customers), some cards are evidence (physical things you find)Some of the gossip is false, good/juicy information is rareNarrativeThree actsAct 1: Something’s going on! Busier than normal, more security, longer shifts than normal because everyone needs to be in the mall, the management wants to keep everyone thereA lot of the rumors are about not being able to do their regular jobs outside of the mallAct 2: It’s one of three thingsAct 3: Did we figure out what’s going on?You have to figure out what the threat is, afterwards pick some number of ways to deal with it, depending on the response you have a list of tasks to complete to fulfill. If the tasks you did relate to the actual threat, you get points.
