04:53:02 Is your puzzle game compatible with CGA? 04:54:05 This one isn't. 04:54:09 Cale: I got my Super Mega book in the mail. 04:54:15 (Although I have made other computer games that are.) 04:56:12 . o O ( a very big book, i presume ) 04:58:57 (This new game is design to be similar to Hero Mesh, kind of, although many things which were I think mistakes or other problems in the design of Hero Mesh, that I can do them differently this time, in order to make it better and avoid some of the problems that Hero Mesh is have.) 04:59:18 Do you like Dangerous Dave?

05:11:44 Dangerous Dave 05:16:50 I'm not sure you can save. 05:17:52 Does any version of DOSBOX support its own save state function? 05:18:39 I don't know. 05:31:22 zzo38: I've heard rumours of a hacked version that did that but it was, IIRC, not publically released 05:31:38 and wasn't really complete enough to handle more than one game, run on other people's computers, etc. 05:50:05 But there are other x86 virtual machines that support that. 05:50:09 And you can run DOSBOX inside them. 05:50:16 -!- sleffy has joined. 06:36:14 <\oren\> shachaf: would you not run freedos inside them directly? 06:37:10 You could do that too. 06:38:16 Assuming the other x86 virtual machine emulates any of the hardware you need, then I think it will work to just run FreeDOS directly (and might even work better in some cases) 06:39:40 I don't know why it'd emulate DOS-compatible hardware, though. 06:40:15 If it is emulating a PC, then it probably should emulate DOS-compatible hardware. 06:40:20 Gotta set your IRQs, man 06:40:49 (Otherwise it should hardly be called a PC) 06:40:50 Get that Sound Blaster Pro going 06:52:01 -!- sleffy has quit (Ping timeout: 240 seconds). 07:08:32 -!- oerjan has quit (Quit: Nite). 07:30:26 -!- impomatic has quit (Ping timeout: 246 seconds). 07:49:37 -!- lezsakdomi has quit (Ping timeout: 260 seconds). 08:08:46 -!- augur has joined. 08:13:05 -!- augur has quit (Ping timeout: 240 seconds). 08:35:56 -!- erkin has joined. 08:46:16 -!- AnotherTest has joined. 08:56:31 -!- xkapastel has quit (Quit: Connection closed for inactivity). 09:11:15 -!- MrBusiness3 has joined. 09:13:48 -!- MrBismuth has quit (Ping timeout: 240 seconds). 09:20:10 -!- AnotherTest has quit (Ping timeout: 255 seconds). 09:22:59 -!- augur has joined. 09:26:24 -!- ais523 has quit (Quit: quit). 09:27:39 -!- augur has quit (Remote host closed the connection). 09:34:30 -!- imode has quit (Ping timeout: 258 seconds). 09:39:45 -!- Remavas has joined. 09:40:34 -!- Remavas has quit (Remote host closed the connection). 09:54:22 -!- FreeFull has quit. 10:18:40 -!- augur has joined. 10:19:51 -!- augur has quit (Remote host closed the connection). 10:24:53 -!- augur has joined. 10:46:08 -!- augur has quit (Remote host closed the connection). 10:48:18 -!- augur has joined. 10:52:47 -!- augur has quit (Ping timeout: 260 seconds). 11:10:15 -!- AnotherTest has joined. 11:13:40 -!- augur has joined. 11:18:00 -!- augur has quit (Ping timeout: 258 seconds). 11:20:05 -!- Phantom_Hoover has joined. 12:20:24 -!- j-bot has quit (Remote host closed the connection). 12:23:58 -!- LKoen has quit (Quit: “It’s only logical.

I think it has a snapshotting feature, but I never really tried. These days, you should try qemu instead if you want snapshots for old DOS games. 16:28:43 -!- grumble has joined. 16:28:58 zzo38: I have sucessfully snapshotted and restored the *disk* contents when the game is powered down, in fact the termbot (which connects IRC as a terminal to the DOS machine) can restore to a snapshot I made automatically. 16:29:08 s/game is/machine is/ 16:29:46 quintopia: no, I like that system. but I also know that people's opinion differs in that, some people prefer to have the toilet in the office, which they do have in the other building. 16:31:17 -!- grumble2 has left. 16:38:06 -!- sleffy has joined. 17:35:36 -!- LKoen has joined. 17:43:25 -!- wob_jonas has quit (Quit: http://www.kiwiirc.com/ - A hand crafted IRC client). 17:51:02 -!- wob_jonas has joined. 17:51:21 Argh! Why does the label of shoelaces always give a length longer than the actual measured length of the lace? 17:52:18 Because it is in different units of measurement, maybe? 17:52:21 Do they measure them, like stretched with high force? 17:53:00 -!- boily has joined. 17:53:01 zzo38: the label explicitly says "cm" 17:53:26 wob_jonas: O, it already says the units. Yes, maybe with high force. But, then, why should they do that? 17:58:11 I mean, the shoelace is not even the right order of magnitude to make the obligatory joke about males mis-sizing objects so they can brag about their twelve-inch penis. 18:00:54 ok, this other pair of laces at least has the right size 18:01:05 well, the right size for what's written on the label 18:09:57 as opposed to the right size for my boots 18:13:12 Sadly the store can't have shoelaces in every combination of material, thickness and shape, color and width, because that would be a really large number of combinations, so I just had to buy one that's close to right. 18:13:25 -!- fungot has quit (Ping timeout: 255 seconds). 18:22:31 Ok, now I'm going to fix all the shirts that need sewing, either to close small holes or resew buttons.

Glurk. 19:19:58 the one thing that always irked me was that my original goal of having real chess as a strict subset didn't quite work 19:20:18 because you couldn't e.g move a bishop northeast with a piece to the north and a piece to the east 19:20:38 you could easily solve that by shrinking the pieces in their squares a bit but that was inelegant enough not to satisfy me 19:21:08 that seems to be what That Other Continous Chess does 19:47:27 -!- augur has joined. 19:51:28 -!- augur has quit (Ping timeout: 240 seconds). 19:52:06 -!- j-bot has joined. 20:02:06 Why does ! in visual mode in vim always operate linewise even if the selection isn't linewise? 20:14:49 shachaf: cool!
