I have an idea for a new clicker game. Just want to run it by you guys.
It is based on Monty Python.

Well.. I guess it's a good start for your very first game! Go ahead do it, I dare you!

Got a game jam at work before Christmas. None of us are part of the game team (we are the tool team) and we had no clue and that was a struggle... but after 5 man weeks, we made such progress, that was very satisfying! Big Grin | :-D

I dreamed my cat had an API

...against which I was trying to write a script to get it to move off me.

Time to take a break from coding? Maybe?

cheers

I have lived with several Zen masters - all of them were cats.

His last invention was an evil Lasagna. It didn't kill anyone, and it actually tasted pretty good.

With the cat resting on your lap, I have to assume it was a REST API...

I'm really hoping your cat is WiFi ... I can't find any USB connectors on mine, and I don't think he'd appreciate me trying to plug him in.

Shouldn't that be Wi-Fe (Wireless Feline)?

You should learn to prioritize. A cat on your lap automatically superseeds any other priorities... Roll eyes | :rolleyes:

If they did have an API, don't you think that the mice would have hacked them by now?

I gave up on trying to get our cat to do anything, when I was 12 yrs. old.

Of course, I did not have a computer, nor did I know how to write programs at the time. Sniff | :^)

You are aware that the algorithm for getting a cat to move of its own volition is classified as NP-hard[^]?
