Re: Lets go ahead and make the new site

pushed an initial commit with a slightly edited version of lacka's work.

put visual a placeholder for the download stuff, changed the typography a bit, and made the layout switch to single column on small viewports.

Re: Lets go ahead and make the new site

much thanks

looks like there's some calls to undefined functions.

arma_dl_list()
arma_dl_button()

as a couple examples. Is there a modified functions.php running around somewhere in a higher directory?

Re: Getting better Q&A

I think in almost every situation it's better to split up. I think this because I think it is in most cases very unlikely that: 2x = efficiency of getting a kill 2v1 where x = efficiency of getting a kill 1v1 and efficiency is defined as some combination probability of getting the kill and the speed...

Re: Lets go ahead and make the new site

working on polishing this for modern browsers and porting to wordpress (I don't believe lacka's stuff was ever coded for wp at all), will put initial commit on svn/github soon

Re: Getting better Q&A

question: why are there not more questions? a lot of people should have them. If one never asks the question, that explains why one never answers the question, and therefore why one doesn't improve as a player. Every death and every mistake is a question. similarly, if one only seeks answers from on...

Re: Could we please organize an effort to update the main si

my experience with wordpress is that it can be made too look very clean and non-bloated. It's relatively easy to visually design for, in my experience.

http://revolverarma.tk/ runs wordpress, for example.

Re: Getting better Q&A

yeah, rubber conservation is a big thing for me Poke once said to me in sumo bar, "There's no point in saving rubber if you never use it." His criticism is correct: not using rubber actually reduces the amount of rubber you have over the course of a round. If you have used 1 rubber, you ga...

Re: Could we please organize an effort to update the main si

github + jekyll might be an elegant, open source way to do it.

also completely avoids any security issues with wordpress, as author accounts would be on github accounts. It also doesn't have all the extra weight.

Re: Armagetron Resource Upload

somewhat related, I would be more than willing to write appropriate weekly updates for the main site. obviously in the past when I usually write about this game, it is about whatever I'm interested in, but it's easy for me to put that aside and do more serviceable updates about development, broader ...

Re: Armagetron Resource Upload

this is fantastic, great way of integrating resources with forums.

anyone who may be able to answer: is there a reason we can't migrate this to the armagetronad.net domain-space?

Re: Getting better Q&A

yeah, perfectly understandable. Just want to reiterate that any questions are fine, not just team-tactical sorts of things. another question: context changes, but most players have a habitually default radius for their triple-bind. When I started triple-binding about a year ago, I practiced a lot to...

Re: Chess Puzzles (lichess training thread)

I made a chess webapp in php with lots of Fairie Chess pieces . Each game both players draft their army. Never found anyone to playtest it with, probably needs tons of game balancing. Cool! I guess you gave up on me & didn't ask because I'm so conservative with the chess stuff xD well even in l...

Re: Getting better Q&A

well I'm obviously biased to fort/sumo (as are the many forum posters here), but we can get more general as well. I originally put this in Strategy forum for a reason, but a moderator moved it to Team Strategy. Even the fort specific concepts are applicable to any gamemode if you abstract it. vov pi...
