Hi - how's it going?

My name's Chris, I'm a developer from Melbourne, Australia. I work for a large Australian retailer developing in-house software solutions.

I'm super passionate about all things coding, especially in the web development space.

My preferred languages include:

  • PHP
  • ActionScript 3
  • The HTML/JS/CSS stack
  • mySQL

@Tim Holt - good point, I wasn't thinking along those lines

I like the idea of a ray cast, but I don't know if that would account for sound passing through different types of walls. For example, a small foot step sound wouldn't pass through the wall, but the sound of a gun firing would. But in this case I don't know if ray casting would sort out those situations

Hmmm sounds really good. I also agree with @Hackworth about keeping it simple. The immediate sound was such a 'penny has dropped' moment the minute it was mentioned. I have started reading about Dijkstra's algorithm, but just to confirm, it can include weighted nodes to adjust for different types of walls?

The goal is to have many 'stupid' agents following your sounds around walls and what not.

Awesome first post! So you would just have an extra 2d data array on top basically?

I don't want to change the topic, but I have worked with the F88 Steyr which is the Australian version of the AUG, and the F89 Minimi which is the Australian version of the SAW, and can say both behave as expected - the exception being that there are no stoppages. I'd be interested in why you 'loled'

It's not exactly the same, although I do understand what you're getting out, you don't want to have to goto the virtual toilet either, or even eat and drink - but the weapon system does tie into existing systems

I can see what you're saying but it doesn't really come up with much when google imaged. That doesn't mean it's wrong, but let's see what comes up
