Thanks! I made a submarine game called DeepBlue where you explore the ocean floor generated by ocean depth map data:

Have you published it on the App Store yet?

crimsonpoodle@pawb.social · 2 years

Not just yet but it’s in the works!

Also - post it on GitHub. Preferably now while you’ve got people paying attention. :-)

When I’m going through job candidates, nothing gets my attention better than a public GitHub project where a lot of other people have stared/forked/written issues/submitted pull requests/etc. Which means you shouldn’t just post it, you should spend a bit of time maintaining it. Fix bugs, add features, add content (search for treasure?)

Thanks for the tip! https://github.com/jcuberdruid/DeepBlue

I’ll add more to the repo but here it is for now :)

(Hey did my last comment seem sarcastic? Hope not. Saw OP immediately followed your advice and wanted to give you kudos!)

ocean depth map data

Where can I download it and under what conditions can I use it?

Trainguyrom@reddthat.com · 2 years

Looks like NOAA has a bunch of such data available but I really don’t understand it enough to tell if there’s an easy download link in my cursory glance.

On the subject of NOAA, did you know you can get your weather forecasts ad-free and straight from the source? Weather.gov is one of the my most frequent bookmarks because it bypasses all of the crap of commercial weather sites

Thanks!

I don’t live in the US, but also I use my own government’s weather data.

Congratulations! The sub game looks like a cool project.

As someone who’s gone to college twice, let me just tell you, go to Cupertino for that trip. Even if you have to take out additional student loans for it. Is it financially responsible? Heck no, but its something you’ll look back on and be happy you did, plus its a great networking opportunity to both get a feel for the industry you’re preparing to enter and to potentially meet people who might help you land a job later on.

Bring that to your department chair and ask if they can help sponsor the trip. It’s a big deal and something the department would be proud of.

I’ve always had trouble trusting awards and competitions, because it’s probably the hardest two groups to differentiate real from scam but also the scams outweigh the real.
