It's in the tutorial, but it's worded as "just always take the last digit ", in math terms, it's the  "modular 10 "  of the  "absolute value" of the addition or subtraction. 

Absolute value means "if negative, make it positive " and is denoted with putting it in |bars|.
Modular means if you go under 0 or over the mod number (10 in this case), you end up at the other side. just imagine a circle. 
 

failure to save while on ATV has an unspecified error rather than a specified error (should be "can't save mid-air")

it can also rain inside

The difficulty of multiplayer is everything that has to "match-up" between the 2 players. e.g. physics objects moving, the state of the world (where is everything), data-races (we both put the same thing in our inventory at a similar time).

Individual scares are actually the easiest to implement as long as they are transient, i.e. they don't change anything permanent, like moving a chair.

The fact that all terminals are networked and share the same commandline, but I can't get a hash i can write down on paper of a server remotely is also unrealistic. At the end of the day, that's just how computers are in basically all media: unrealistic. 


Though... that too would be an easy fix, by making it like "oh, the report is too big to transmit in 24h by wire, so you have to use sneakernet" and have you use drives.

I burned this to a disc, but I can not get it to work.

As far as I can tell it was burned correctly and it does boot into a DOS shell, but I have no idea what to do then.

Is there a straightforward guide on how to run the programs or is this an issue with my hardware.

You have to be intensely radical. 

Have your first round be single pip investments in the right science and engineering and spend big on policies.

Don't invest in the marginal returns until you get a flood of points.

Password can be found in plaintext in [name].dat files.

To try and force unlock everything, open [name]_books.dat in a hexeditor (like HxD), search and replace, "hex-values", replace 4900 with 4901, replace all, save.

I would recommend you do this on a new profile, because it might have some side-effects, like marking empty entries as "new" and erasing your legitimate progress.

It should work, but I haven't checked if there are no entries missing.

I am missing some data stored on 1 or 2 laptops which have since gone bust (ha!), but I have some save data from 2019 that says my WPM hovered around 40 with an accuracy of about 95%.

Today, I can do 73 wpm without stressing too much and still 95% accuracy. Aiming for 100% drops me down to around 50 wpm. I do also own 2 typewriters I picked up on the cheap, they make good paperweights.

Now that instability edition is available again, I hope to check it out, because the only versions I still had were .99 and .9m.

Cheers to you as well!

Ooooh, I think I read somewhere before that this was the case, but I forgot.

I just have the silly and unrealistic idea of remastering it and it would show me how all the effects were achieved, exactly.

In some ways, there is a beauty to the ephemeral and incomplete nature of a software that itself tries to capture ephemera and a time long past.

I wasn't aware Type Dreams had been released under GPL3. 

In accordance with GPL3, I would like to request a copy of the source code (if at all convenient).

You can use a hex editor to edit the save files to unlock most if not every book. This is the full list of books I have been able to unlock using this method. If you are aware of other entries not on the list, or how to obtain them legitimately, please let me know.

Why did it show me this on the front page today?
No Idea.
It's good tho.

Wonderful. Best of luck. I'll test it when it comes out :)

I personally want to find other enthusiasts and older versions. mail bartterpstra@protonmail.com if interested.

Will linux receive the updates as well?

If I have the drive, I'm taking this game apart to check.
edit: you can win. figure it out yourself.

'The segway[sic] seems to stun lock .....'

'A perculiar[sic] guy appears to be lurking under The Old Iron Bridge...'

I am learning so much and yet so little from playing this game. It's been a wonderful experience.

Is it a bug that spacebar does not merely advance the text, but will also choose option 1 if possible?


 I have issues double clicking, and accidentaly choosing, but now neither spacebar nor mouse will save me.

'one of her hans[sic] grasps a bottle'

'war is hel[sic]' ?

(1 edit)

a bug can occur during the viewing of the motorcycle where portraits will flicker when advancing dialogue. it starts shortly before the tone shift, about where you ask if you can sit on it.

when you tab in and out of LLRPG where the portraits flicker. eeeh, whatever. that one is less important.

GOOD WORK AND GODSPEED

'Well. That was a very honest segway[sic], I'll give you that'

"and covert[sic] your coins to gold bars"

Where can I report bugs (and spelling mistakes)?

If you want to do it the hard way you can go through the vision history: https://github.com/frnsys/half_earth

There is an open-source repository with a copyleft license since about a month, so knock yourself out.

Do reply if you iterate on it, i'm curious.

thank you for the reply~
wouldn't have noticed it without it.

Type Dreams.

i don't want my money back, i want to be able to actually play this game.
it was fun.
but the creator seems to have dissapeared into thin air.
i hope he's alright.

i'd like to be redirected to the category of practice i was in before i began an excercise.

also, would a speed-up be possible when you press spacebar longer? or would that just be confusing?

Fix: delete %USERPROFILE%/Saved Games/TypeDreams/[save name]_cache.dat

this seems to have no negative effect on progress.

deleting the cache file of the associated save make is start up again.

i encountered the same bug.

also right after exiting from road mode.

duplicate of: https://itch.io/t/455366/crash-after-game-start

creating a new profile is allowed, it then shows that it is first in 5 different places.

upon hitting enter, it crashes with the same error message.

i can no longer play the game.

(1 edit)

the game loads.

profile selection is visible.

upon pressing space once, it hovers on my account, then it crashes.


error message:

Error: Error running function 'repeatedly_execute':

Error: Array index out of bounds (index: 1, bounds: 0..0)
