Well this morning after coding up to the line pyweek was over. After heading out to be social for mothers day i came back to do a first play test with a friend to find my game is just downright unfun and with a bunch of bugs that freeze up the server.

As such i have released a bugfix version, as well as fixing bugs I have made the modification that some buildings have a larger area of attack, this is a minimal code change so i hope it is not considered cheating, if it is the original version is still there, and i *think* it should play nicely with the new version of the server i am running.

Also about that data i was collecting at the start of the week. So far i have created a histogram of keys pressed and a heatmap of all mouse activity.

It is actually pretty scary to see the kind of abuse a keyboard cops in a single week (even if it was pyweek) with around 95k of keystrokes.


Poor Backspace key

Ah, you can tell by the keyboard histogram that you were writing English! The order of letter frequencies is ETAOINS.

OpenSuse 12.1 64bit. I will going to try it later.

Sorry to hear that. I hope you are okay?

Woah. Hope you're ok there Hugo!

Why is 8 the most typed thing on the keyboard?

richard on 2012/05/18 04:34:

That's the backspace key. The big spike with no visible label is space. 13, since you asked, is escape. Obviously a vi/vim user :-)

cyhawk on 2012/05/18 20:52:

13 is Enter. You're right, Escape (27) would be prominent for a vi user :). Also the letter frequencies would be skewed due to various commands... I'll try to set this up next time myself, it's fascinating to look at!

richard on 2012/05/18 23:38:

Heh, thanks cyhawk. Not sure how I read that so badly :-)

Hey guys im, home now albeit in a sore and sorry manner, not being able to go much anywhere means i will try to have a fix up i a few days, tracked the problem down to having done some bodgy stuff with modifying objects across threads, so il do a little work on that and have a new version up depending on how I go.

Glad you're OK!
