Would you mind taking a screenshot of your current DNS configuration and posting it here?

Just quickly poking at your DNS via dig, it doesn't look like anything has (yet) been set up, so it could be a really trivial configuration error.

If you've not done so yet, configure your router to use Google's DNS servers. Propagation will speed up tremendously. Also, are you self-hosting your DNS server, or is this shared hosting with third party nameservers? Any time I add a domain to my dedi, it's online in a matter of seconds thanks to running my own BIND9 server.

I would _strongly_ recommend against hosting your own DNS, simply because you are a single point of failure. A targeted DDoS attack, an intrusion (there are bots bruteforcing all the time!) or even just an outage could fuck everything up royally (including mail deliverability!). Instead try hosting your DNS with a company which specialises in reliable DNS, such as HE.net or Cloudflare.

Yeah, uh, I kinda know all this. It's my job. Regardless, I'm not worried in the slightest. I have hardware mitigation in place as well as a dynamic iptables daemon that sniffs out attacks fairly nicely. I also challenge a bot to bruteforce anything I have, especially since I have root logins disabled, and I use a two step authentication scheme for SSH. I don't run any sort of vulnerable web applications and the majority of my site is password protected with randomly generated passwords. Also, please never recommend the garbage that is Cloudflare to anyone. Anyone with any sort of knowledge of netcat can sniff out the true IP of a server behind it. A mail server can also give this away, so it's much better to use an external server for that. CF also gives a bad reputation to any site that uses it since malware oriented forums, torrent indexes, and DDoS for hire services tend to use it to try and hide, and the company is known for letting these things slide despite their ToS.

    also @BigOnYa im making some progress on my gdevelop project, implemented various mechanics

    They went all in on streaming, should have been more of a hybrid approach

  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Or free government supplied high speed internet be nice also. Like Obama care. Xdqwerty that's cool, its time consuming but rewarding once done or playable, to see what you've made from scratch. Animations take forever, but worth it.

    @BigOnYa, although the bullets are a bit buggy

    @BigOnYa,
    and the visual aspect of the game is quite crude (the sprite that looks best is that of the protagonist just because he is a stickman with sunglasses)

  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    There is a bullets behaviour you assign to your character, that makes the code easier, under "behaviours"
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    i meant that when the character is pointing to the right, the bullets spawn where they should, but when he is on the right, they move to the right but the spawn point is incorrect
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Itch.io has lots of free assets also. Under the bullets behavior tab, there is a "rotate bullets" option, can try that. Or in the code can try
    - fire bullet Player.X(PlayerDirection)

    YEa gotta after a while, looking at code for long periods will bug your eyes.

  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    That's cool tho, I'm proud of you going back to it, not giving up. It is difficult at first to learn, but fun once you get the hang of it. I think I've watched every tutorial video there is, but I still struggle sometimes to get stuff to work right. But gotta keep trying dif things, and eventually you will get it right.
