I made it

Hi everyone,
latest status of my programing skills:
I canceled my gambling-program-project because I dont know how to sort multidimensional arrays without switching their value with each other.
You can imagine my problem like that:

You have 3 players and each player has a different value of points. Something like:
-Player 1 has 10 points
-Player 2 has 46 points
-Player 3 has 25 points

Now, it would be easy for me to sort it like this:
-Player 1 has 46 points
-Player 2 has 25 points
-Player 3 has 10 points

But I think you see why this is wrong. In that case, I would just sort the number of points but without looking at the player number. To add more problems, there arent always only 3 players. There can be up to 10 players.
So as long as I dont know how to deal with this problem, I have to do something else.


I also made another program which is already finished. Its a shell game (is that correct? shell game? oO).
You see 3 cups and in one of these cups is a balland you have to guess where.
You have 1 try to guess where the ball is by simply entering 1, 2 or 3. If you fail or win, you can choose if you want to try it again but then the ball is in an other cup (or maybe the same cup again... randomness all the way!).

I have found one or two bugs already. For example:
-When you get asked to type in if you want to try again and you type in "y" for yes and a number (for example "y3") then you choose to play another round AND have already choosen a cup.
-When you get asked to choose between 1, 2 or 3 and you insert a letter you get stuck in an infinite loop

Gonna try to sort them out.

you can find my program code -> here <-
I made a lot of comments in the program code so you can follow my thoughts in the program (more or less) and translated most of it into english. I didnt translate the names of the elements into english because thats not really necessary... at least not for the program code itself ;D
As a compiler I use Dev-C++, which is freeware and (for beginners like me) really good. Use my code if you want to =)

Bye :D

League of Legends Champion suggestions - today: Nasus

Hi everyone,

yeah, its that time again. Its Wednesday and my motivation is so low that my creativity went on a short holiday for 2 days. Lets hope that i still remember how to drive my car, or at least be motivated enough to drive home. There are more things that would need my motivation to get home from work but im not motivated enough to think about those things now. I'll do it later... maybe.

Anyway, today I'll introduce another champion from the free-to-play MMO League of Legends to you.

Todays Champion is:

Nasus, The Curator of the Sands




Nasus is a tanky melee Champion who can theoretically do infinite normal damage with only one attack and is an exellent counterpick for attack speed based carrys.

Lets get right to his skills

passive skill - Soul Eater:
Soul Eater gives you a passive life steal ability to all your normal attacks. The lifesteal reaches it maximum at lv11 which is 20% of your normal damage. 

Q Skill - Siphoning Strike:
When you activated the skill, your next basic attack will do bonus damage to the enemy. When you kill something with ityou get +3 bonus damage. More last hits = more bonus damage

W Skill - Wither:
You can cast this on an enemy to slow his movement speed and attack speed for a short time. This skill is the strongest slow in the whole game.

E Skill - Spirit Fire:
It creates an area where all enemys get damage over time and their normal & magic resistance is decreased.

R Skill (Ultimate) - Fury of the Sands:
Nasus gets bonus health, gains procentual more damage based on the enemys health and deals nearby enemys magic damage also based on their health.


Now to some pros and cons of nasus:


Pros
- when he can farm his q Skill a lot, he is an incrdible strong melee champion.
- theoretically there is no limit for the bonus damage on his Q Skill so he can theoretically pump it up to infinity
-Nasus needs almost no damage items and can get a lot of tanky items and still does a ton of damage
-thanks to his W skill the opponent carry, who is most likely a damage dealer that needs attack speed, is rather useless in a team fight.
-His Ultimate can be used to gain temporally some health to survive an attack or to damage nearby enemys in a team fight
-thanls to some previous patches he can now jungle, too

Cons:
-when he couldnt farm his Q Skill, he is rather weak
-He is a melee champion and can only slow one champion so he cant escape a teamfight so easily
-at the beginning he is an easy target for harrasing and if he cant heal hisself through attacks he is rather useless
- no mana is the death for nasus on the long term because he cant last hit minions with his Q Spell and so he gets no permanent bonus damage

Some last words of mine:
Nasus is a good allround champion. Thanks to his Q Spell combined with some items, he is most likely best on a solo lane to farm minions with his Q Spell. He is a late game champion so you should hold back at first a little. Nasus also needs no damage items so you can go on survivability. With that he is, after some farm, almost unbeatable in a 1on1 fight and a great damage dealer in a team fight.
When you have the pleasure to play against him, i would recomment to buy something like "Thornmail" and some health items if you think you cant survive against him long enough.

Thats it for now

Bye :D

More games, more fun and some cuteness

Hi everyone,

I had no time changing the banner of my blog, probably because im just to lazy and coulndt stop playing LoL. I'll do it tomorrow... maybe.

Do you know these days where you could write like 100 blog posts but you have to decide which one you should take? Well, i had one but its not today so i was sitting in front of my laptop for like 30 minutes till i had the final idea for my post today. I also have to write some post ideas down so this wont happen again.

Todays game is:

Animal Crossing

When i have seen the game for the first time, i thought "omg, if I should ever be stupid enough to play that game, i'll die on an overdose of cuteness.". I think a part of me died as I played it but it was a weak part so I'm stronger now ^^
Well, what is "Animal Crossing" about?
You just moved out of your parents house and talk to a turtle (yes, a turtle. You are the only human you will ever meet in that game) while driving down a road about where you want to go, what your name is and some other random stuff. Then you arrive at the city but you realize very fast that you have not enough money to buy a house directly. But the local salesman (a racoon) offers you one house of your choice to move in and you have to pay a dept.
With that you try to make money with fishing, collecting fruits, helping the villagers etc. to pay of your dept, to buy new clothes, furniture for your house or to upgrade your house so you have more space in it.
But the game is not all about making money. Its like your own little live. You choose how your house looks, what furniture you have or what kind of name your town has. The game syncronachises itself with your console clock and so the daytime-nighttime cyclus starts. Shops only open between daytime and in the night there are stars at the sky. You can go fishing, hunt bugs and search for fossils which can be sold or you donate them to your local museum.

Its all very cute but also somehow addictive. At first you cant make much. You have to get money to buy new items like a shovel or an fishing rod. You can help the villagers with their problems, talk to them and even play with them little games like "hide and seek".

I first played that game on the GameCube. It was like a drug. I played it over a year, almost every single day. Because if you show a little enthusiasm and have the goal to make your town perfect, you have to come every day to catch new bugs, new fishes, remove weed, plant flowers, recieve and get mails, join festivals...
After i made my town just perfect and got almost everything it was boring. Then "Animal Crossing" came out for the Nintendo DS, witch was (who had guessed that) totally the same just with more of everything. I played it for like half a year.
The latest "Animal Crossing" is for the Wii and after a month i had enough of it. After a while, its just the same old routine you do every day and nothing really new happens.



Yes, everyone talks like "blablablablablablabla" which is kinda funny at first but annoying at the end.

Give it a try if you have some money left because its worth it if you like those games.
Bro-tip:
If you start a new game in Animal Crossing, look at the map as soon as you can and look if you like the design of your town. If not, restart the game and make a new town. The towns are made randomly but every town has the same buildings. Once you played in your town for a while and realize the bridges over the river are placed bad or you have to walk miles to reach from point A to point B its a waste if you would start a new town.

Bye :D

Hurray, a new game

Hi everyone,

I hope you all like the "new" blog of mine. Took me some time to find the right things and the header came out better than i expected but i think its still not perfect. Funny what you can do by only using Paint and Gimp.
The background looks good and now that I know how to make transparent areas in a picture, i have so many ideas but so less time. Well, looks like i have to skip one or two rounds of gaming for a great looking header-pic.

Anyway, today i want to tell you about a card game. A card game on what i spent like years of my life. I still got hundreds of those cards but i know no one who still plays that game.
The card game is called:

Duel Masters

Its like a modified rip of off the "well known" Card Game Yu-Gi-Oh.
The meaning of the game is to defeat your opponent (wow, who would have guessed that) through destroying 5 shields and then attack him directly.
I'll tell you how a game normally looks like:
You and your enemy have 1 set of 40+ cards. At the beginning, each of you draw the first 5 cards and put then upside down in front of you without looking at them. Those are your shields which are protecting you from the enemys attacks.
The you both draw 5 hand cards.
Then you decide who of you starts.

A normal round looks like that:
1. you draw a card
2. you can put one hand card into your "mana zone". Mana is needed to cast spells or to summon monsters.
3. if you have enough mana, you can summon a monster now which is then "untapped". Normally monsters have to wait 1 round till they can attack. Evolution-monsters that have to be laid onto monsters of the same species can attack immediately.
4. if you have enough mana, you can cast spells which have different effects on everything in the game like: you can draw cards, make a monster temporary stronger, destroy mana of the enemy etc.
5. you can attack the enemy or an enemy monster if you have a monster which can attack. You can only attack "tapped" monsters. If your monster has attacked, it is tapped and will get untapped at the beginning of your next round.
a monster can have different abilitties:
blocker: can block an attack and fight against the attacking monster
unblockable: cant be blocked
evolution: can only be put onto monsters of the same species and can attack instantly
double breaker: breaks 2 shields when attacking the enemy shields but when blocked only attacks 1 monster
strong attacker: while attacking, the monster gets +xxxx attack strenght
and way more abillities like "draw x cards", "retieve a monster", "search your deck for...". "when this creature dies do ...." etc.
if you break a shield of the enemy he takes the shield card and puts it to his hand cards
6. you end your turn.
7. your enemy has his turn

Now the same thing repeats until one of you has lost all of his shields and got attacked by a monster.
There are 5 different colour types of cards which specialise (more or less) on different aspects of the game.

red cards = fire nation. pure strenght, no blockers and a lot of "kill every monster with strenght xxxx or less"
green cards = nature nation. faster more mana to cast a lot of spells, some really strong monsters, monsters that reduce your mana costs but no blockers
yellow cards = light nation. strong blockers that can attack, unblockable spells and spells which allow you to attack tapped monsters
black cards = darkness nation. reaper monsters which kill enemys even if they are stronger, spells that can retrieve your own monsters, kill enemy monsters, droping enemy hand cards and messing around with your own shields
blue cards = water nation. faster more hand cards, nice blockers, nice unblockable monsters and spells/monster-abillities which send monsters back to his owners hand cards

It sounds a little lame and in the first place you have to remember a bunch of rules.
But i love that card game. I played it every day in school with friends. I knew a website where you can play Duel Masters against other players but there are only pros and you get beaten in a few rounds = No fun.
Normally i would say at this point "buy those cards and start playing" but i dont know any place where you can play regulary with someone or even buy the cards (instead of ebay) so it might be a waste of money if you buy them.

There are also some games for the "GameBoy Advanced" which are a nice try out but in those games your deck can only handle 40 cards and with a little practise the enemys are beaten in a few rounds because only a few of them are hard to beat.
If you want to give it a try, download "VisualBoyAdvanced" which is a GameBoyAdvanced-Emulator so you can play GameBoy-games on your computer. Then search for something like "Duel Masters gba rom" on google and you might find something. Im not sure if owning a rom (rom = name of the game-type for the emulator) is illegal or not so i wont post any links and i also tell you to buy it regulary in a store instead of downloading.
In the end, i just have to say:
To bad that game didnt get any more popular.

Bye :D
