Online Battles / Re: Anyone near San Diego?

The trouble with online battles is that there can be quite a bit of inconsistency between hosts. For example, there's a video somewhere of Scrap Daddy, Ounce, and I forget the third participant, and Scrap Daddy's machine was spinning like a top. The video showed his bot edging along the arena wall, but Scrap believed he was moving towards Ounce's bot, which was in the middle of the arena. So you and your opponent could end up with completely different outcomes.

Great.

Anyone else find it funny that the responses to the question "Anyone near San Diego?" is everyone explaining that they are not near San Diego?

Its kinda the opposite of what was asked :P

Took the words right out of my mouth...er, fingers.

Actually, it's C++ code (with a few lines of GLSL for shaders). It uses OpenGL 3.0 as its rendering backend. The current code is available on http://www.github.com/SergeB/Rhubarb. If you have a C++ compiler you can test it yourself.

Oh cool. Just making my guesses with these black terminal boxes XD.

He's using Windows Vista or 7 (hopefully 7), so those would be DOS shell.

Our DSL 2.1 mod tends to balance the game more than anything... I think you should at least give it a shot.

Alright.

I'm within 1,000 miles of there, if that helps.

If the game isn't superlaggy, I think it will be fine.

San Diego?!!?!? That means you were close enough to attend actual Battlebot Shows back in the day.  Please tell us you went.  :3

I wasn't exactly rich (or even a teenager) at the time...

I wouldn't mind a good battle!...but stock parts only, please. And don't rage about my mod intolerance, I just feel that mods have a tenancy to unbalance games.
