Well, "Anne" was more than a season earlier, at the beginning of Buffy season 3, so with 22 episodes in a season and each ep lasting about 45 minutes, that's at least 16.5 hours of Buffy you've watched before getting to your current episode. So it's completely reasonable that you didn't catch the reference.

I'm hardly a didgeridoo expert so I don't know, I just know that it sounds pretty cool. It's not an urban legend. It's true, I have an uncle who is a professional didgeridooist.
Young Bard he/him Posted June 22, 2016 Posted June 22, 2016 I had no idea about a name registration in Poland (makes me wonder about that impossible sounding name in the Harry Potter RP now). I have an Irish name, which there are about half a dozen variations of. However, my father's name is Rory, which I've heard a lot worse about. Here's one variation of the name "Rory": Raughrie. No kidding. I feel sorry for whoever is called this in the world, but it is a genuine variation of the name. In terms of circular breathing - only a few people can do it. It's not common, even among professional instrument players. Partly because of the tone thing that Kaymyth mentioned, partly because it's just really, really difficult to do. I've tried doing it, and... it didn't go well. At best, I might have done it for about half a second, but I probably imagined it.

Mestiv he/him Posted June 22, 2016 Posted June 22, 2016 @Delightful you have to find a way to talk to you computer. Some react to harsh language, others require sign gestures... whispering to it might work as well and remember to offer a sacrifice of some kind 1

I don't know what are the preferences of australian computers maybe some breadcrumbs on the keyboard would fit it's appetite I know it's sometimes hard when the computer doesn't do what you want, but at least it does something, that's still better than doing nothing

Heh. I do like that. And more seriously, what are you currently asking the computer to do? What is it doing instead? What language are you using to converse with it?

I have to tell a creature to navigate the map and collect gems and toggle switches, and after a string of commands I told it to turn left but it turned right and I have no idea why. Im gonna have another look when I'm more awake :l and this is aside from weird bracketing syntax errors that the program isn't designed to help you fix . And I found some weird bug where every time I tried to delete a particular squiggly bracket, the whole program crashed. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Mestiv he/him Posted June 22, 2016 Posted June 22, 2016 Same here, I don't even own an Apple product... However I find the concept of a game that teaches people to program is great!

I think I just need a fresh look at it. I also first technically completed the level, but not the way I was supposed to (yay for actually reading instructions :/) and I had to start basically from scratch again so. Sleep first. Then more coding. @Mestiv It's really cool. The graphics remind me of Miniclip games, just instead of hitting the up button I write moveForward() and then it's gone through functions and looping but it feels like a slightly more complex game with just a different control system to usual.
