What are you working on?

[QUOTE=Sporbie;15910845]It's kinda stupid to open up a new thread just for this, and this is almost like a chat thread so why not:

I need a formula to find out a normal vector to a line defined by two points (the points have x and y values). I assume a normal vector is the vector perpendicular to the line and of length 1. Google didn't help much.

Also there should be two normals to one line amirite?[/QUOTE]

Just cross it with a vector in the z direction, eg:

( x, y, 0 ) x ( 0, 0, 1 )

where x is the cross product.

And then you have to normalise the result. If you want the other normal for the line just cross it with ( 0, 0, -1 )

[ZeekyHBomb]

A vector has an infinitive amount of normals (at least in a >2D space).
And yes, normals don't have to be unitvectors.
To find one of the two in a 2D space, you can simply switch the x and y coordinates and negate one element != 0 (since you are in a 2D space :D).

This is actually quite simple. Find the direction from one point to the other, and then rotate the vector 90 degrees: r90(x, y) -> (-y, x)

vec2 dir = point0 - point1;
vec2 perpendicular(-dir.y, dir.x);

And then you can normalize it:

perpendicular.normalize();

I got vector graphics working. I don't know how I'm going to do my borders between Green (Buildable) zones and Red (not buildable) zones.

Got a basic calculator going for windows mobile. It's not much at all, but it still looks better than the default one. I'll probably get a scientific mode going, and then start work on skinning it to make it better looking.

except it looks terrible and I'm not sure how to fix it. I think I'm going to remove the border between the red tiles, and make a bold red border for the green tiles

Why aren't you using a background image and sprites for the objects?

[QUOTE=Pirate Ninja;15908002]Can i haz source? :3[/QUOTE]

I'm thinking about making this open source depending on how well it goes :). So if I muck it up and just not use it, then yeah sure :D.

Cool. .D

There are no graphics there either, it's all just SDL rectangles.

Pretty cool.

I've been making a bit of progress on my maze game, here's some screen-shots I took of it in action.

- I've now got start and end flags
- A lot of the UI done (I'm not a photoshop genius so C&C welcome)
- Efficient level loading and saving. Level loading is instant and level saves don't go above 10KB. I've also got a system in place to read all .maz files (maps) from a specific folder and list them
- Particle effects for the sun and teleports.

1. Playing (player flags are little markers you can drop around the maze to help you navigate)
2. Editor
3. Main Menu
4. Map List (I need to parse the names properly at some point)
5. Win Screen (in progress, I'm working on high scores)
6. Particle system for teleports (currently halfway through getting this to work)

Yeah I don't see why not, it'll be a while before I'm happy with it though.

I'm working on some 2D platformer type game.
I've got alot of work to do though. Right now I've got the editor working. Now I just need to make all gameplay mechanics and such.
I can upload it if you want. It's a Java applet, so you simply try it out in the browser.

Here's the editor so far anyway: (The angles are there for debugging purposes, ignore them)

Everything is bound to hotkeys right now; I'll probably make a more simple GUI for it later on.
I haven't implemented the features for loading foreground and background images yet either.

You need to add a random maze generator. That would be awesome.

My friend tried it for his computing project (mine was a roller coaster simulator, his was a game where you made a robot complete a maze by giving it steps of what to do)

It didn't prove simple and there were all kinds of wierd patterns created. Good fun watching the patterns he came up with trying different algorithms though.
