yay or nay?
for who are wondering what is on the screen :
i am working on a fish tank simulator gamr, which every fish have different unique combination and/or permutation. i combined this with cryptocurrency, the idea is similar to CryptoKitties and Insaniquarium combined. the implementation is not yet done, but currently i am working on the in-game market front-end functionality.

sorry no in-game preview/screenshot yet :P

curently thinking about considering to open source it and a collab.

No in game preview but heres the login screen. it's not beautiful, i need a front-end, really :/

@wowotek this is like twice as good as what I'd produce if I did frontend lol. Well done!

Yes! Collab ☺️

@irene that's why i want to 'improve' it to be a real game, and playable. i don't understand the CryptoKitties either. but if you look from non-tech user, having something fancy and/or price-tagged item is like raising their pride. this is what CryptoKitties sell, Pride. (at least what i think tho, lol)

Nyay!

Feels like a yay. What's better than a single kitty (fish) is a bunch of interacting kitties (fishes)

@hube Program Exited with code 1

@irene not really. we are the devs so we don't understand it lulz. seriously tho. i don't understand it either

@wowotek wonder how you did the background, because multiple ways come to mind

@JoshBent that's my part. i use p5.js it's just a simple ellipse wrapped in a class. put it with z-index of 1 and all other content in front.

@aureliagbrl do you keep track and despawn out of bounds circles?

@JoshBent Doesn't have to if it's run by an algorithm, directly drawing ;)

@ScriptCoded makes no sense, elaborate

@JoshBent Well, say that you'd have x = sin(y). You wouldn't have to "clean up" if you were drawing that directly to the screen.

@ScriptCoded ah I see, thanks, though I doubt there's any function to plot that looks/outputs like that?

@JoshBent Probably not one, but if you'd combine a few. I know for a fact that you can draw a circle, moving down with time. Or up :)

@ScriptCoded should we collab? @wowotek granted me the permission to open source the front end first.

@ScriptCoded ah and then displace/spawn multiple along the axis, interesting, though I feel to get the same effect it'd be much slower than just drawing an array and despawning out of bounds?

@aureliagbrl I'd love to help out with the front-end, if that's what you're saying :)

@JoshBent It probably would, though found it a little funny :) (though actually trying this is GeoGebra now)

@ScriptCoded ping me once you have something, haven't played with geogebra for a while

@JoshBent Shall do ;)

@JoshBent @ScriptCoded i actually suggest geogebra to @aureliagbrl (i thought despawning and spawning new object is expensive) so the bubbles actually following a simple circle path with a radius >= window width and the center points outside the window. for me it is simpler that way, but the front-end is in her hand tho 😂

@wowotek slightly confused about your explanation, since the gif still looks like spawn and despawn with slight noise added to the path to have them moving left and right

@wowotek Haha xD Combining functions though... I actually think the easiest thing (if you'd like to do it with functions) would be to let each bubble be it's own function (x² + (y - t)² = 2²) and then just spawn a hell load of them. Though as @JoshBent said, it's probably not too efficient :P

Lol, I wanted to do something similar, a virtual fish tank that would run on a tablet on a wall, where the fish are controlled by an ML network to learn to live. I'd not speed up the learning (or at least reduce it to a somewhat "watchable" speed), but rather see them learn and raise over time.
Score would be time lived. Fish burn x cal /min and would be feed x times /hour/day. Fish have to swim to individual food particles sinking from the top to the bottom to increase their cal intake. Other fish can be eaten too, but there's a loneliness factor based on how many fish are around, so they cant just go on a killing spree

@Kimmax @irene I was thinking of doing something similar, though with characters trying to survive. Build a fire, collect stuff, perhaps eventually even fight each other perhaps.

@irene well, it's just to get into ML at some point, not to make profit out of it or similar

@ScriptCoded I was going with a fish tank because it's somewhat easy to visualize and wouldn't get to complex with the parameters

@Kimmax Yeah. That's what stopped me... 😅

@JoshBent that is not gif tho. it is created and animated using p5 script.

@JoshBent this is the piece of it

Regarding the circles/bubbles; I just did some CSS3 animations with different timings before - looked fine to me. xD

@wowotek I meant the demo gif in the comments, didn't say it is a background gif

@wowotek looking at the code you are despawning at -50 as I mentioned :)

@aureliagbrl No? 😢

@JoshBent not me, @aureliagbrl did, i just thought her, not forcing her to use it hehe.

@ScriptCoded i believe she is working on the separation between the game and the front end thing. trust me she will tag when finished

@wowotek Hehe, okay... (note my craving for something to do)

@ScriptCoded here it comes !

https://github.com/aureliagbrl/...

@aureliagbrl maybe it's better to give him the original repo hon, try to pull request it to me.

@aureliagbrl I'll check it out :) Got any to do?

@ScriptCoded she is struggling to make the form container centered

@wowotek Would there be any way to take this somewhere else than devRant comments perhaps? :) Feels a little stupid ;) Even an issue would be fine

@ScriptCoded sure ! no problems, you can post it on issues

@Kimmax hello, sorry for bothering you. is there anyway to contact you? i am interested in your concept. maybe we can talk about it ?

@wowotek sure, write me at devrant@nuernberger.kim

@Kimmax thanks, i am writing right away
