What are you working on? January 2012

[QUOTE=LarsHelo;34291624]Do you mind me taking this and using it in my own games? (modified, though)
I think you should rename the "Animation" object to the name of the animation.[/QUOTE]

The "name" of the animation coresponds to an enum you have defined. The animationplayer plays an animation from which event it has received. EVENT_JUMPED plays "Game.Anim.Jump".
([b]EDIT[/b]: You mean instead of "Animation", I use "Game.Anim.Indle" there and then get it using name_ ? Hmm, I guess that would be better.)

I have a static map with <string,int>
Then I say which animation name belongs to what int(enum)

	AnimationContainer::animationNames["Game.Anim.Jump"] = EVENT_JUMPED;
	AnimationContainer::animationNames["Game.Anim.StartMove"] = EVENT_STARTEDMOVING;
	AnimationContainer::animationNames["Game.Anim.Idle"] = EVENT_STARTEDIDLING;

Then I have this

std::map<int,Animation*> animations;

The name is only used when loading the animation from the file, but it has to be predefined in the static map I explaned above so that you can later refer to it using an int.

This is just something I threw together, I would much rather use a binary tree for this. And the code isn't optimized at all so please don't yell at me(I'm not that good of a programmer).

AnimationPlayer isn't a part of the code, it's just an example on how to use it.

Hmm, I don't think your code not being optimized is that bad, that'll make it blend in well with my code ;)

What is the difference between handlers and managers? In the case of class names. What's the main difference in purpose between them?

This isn't exactly programming, but only this subforum will probably get it and I need an opinion.

[QUOTE=PieClock;34288256]I think I've pretty much finished up my little sprite program tonight, adding the last feature that I wanted in there, which was the ability to create sprite sheets with the addition of multiple frames.

[/QUOTE]

If you're willing to put a little more work into it, I think a basic frame browser (show how many frames, which frame you're on, step right/left, play), as well as onion skinning would really flesh out the multiple-frame feature.

The green path seems a bit weird to me. It's quite random. Maybe it'd be clearer if the green path would be the shortest path from one tip to another along the top.

[ritave]

It looked more confusing that way, believe me I tried.
This one isn't as accurate, but it conveys the meaning well and the observer can see the idea fast enough.

Well, the edges aren't labeled with weights, so it could still be the best path, just not visually the shortest.

[QUOTE=AtomiCasd;34288291]Finished my animation system. It makes it able for you, in a component system, to just add "AnimationPlayer" to the object and it can animate a spritesheet.

If you have a "spritename".anim in the same folder as the "spritename".png, then he will play animations based on what you have defined in the .anim file.

An example animation for a light that just blinks every 3 seconds.

{
    "Animation" : {
        "name" : "Game.Anim.Idle",
        "looping" : true,
        "frames" : 
        [
            
            {
                "FrameX"    :    0,
                "FrameY"    :    0,
                "FrameTime"    :    3000
            },
            
            {
                "FrameX"    :    1,
                "FrameY"    :    0,
                "FrameTime"    :    50
            }
        ]
    },
.... more animations
}

Makes it really easy for the game designer on the project to mess around with animations without me having to hardcode frames into objects.

Could probaby add a "FrameRandDiff" to have it +- a random value to the frame time.[/QUOTE]

You inspired me to make my own animation system. I've been toying on-and-off with different ways of having animation data, be it in Lua (which was overkill) or just hardcoding it. Seeing what you did made me want to make something I've been longing to make: and [i]Ini Reader[/i]. A couple hours later and I have this:

Tried to switch to VS2010 but the source engine doesn't compile under it. So back to 2005. Blargh.

[r0b0tsquid]

I think my phone's accelerometer might be misaligned or something... tilting along X registers about twice as much on Z, and tiliting along Z does almost nothing :/ that's a bit of a bugger.

Can't you use the old compiler in the new IDE?

I've heard that the people who can get Source to compile (the mod-code) under VS2010 have had trouble with getting Edit and Continue to work. Dunno if that makes you feel any better or not. :v:

Pretty sure the Android Compass might be able to calibrate it (or calibrate itself). Might look into that?

Edit and Continue rarely ever works for me anyway.

Huuuh that never occurred to me. I already uninstalled it in a rage now though.

while(c->previous != NULL);
{
res.path.push_back(*c);
c = c->previous;
img.SetPixel(c->x * 2, c->y * 2, sf::Color(0, 0, 255));
}
Is there something wrong with this loop? (c is a pointer)
Debugger doesn't even detect anything, it just freezes.

You aren't checking if c is null.

[neos300]

I fixed that by doing this:
while(true);
{
if(cc == NULL)
break;
//res.path.push_back(*cc);
img.SetPixel(cc->x * 2, cc->y * 2, sf::Color(0, 0, 255));
if(cc->previous == NULL)
break;
temp = cc->previous;
cc = temp;
}
But it still freezes up

[icantread49]

are you sure c->previous is ever NULL?

[editline]19th January 2012[/editline]

also, just do

c = /* whatever */;

while (c != NULL)
{
// use "c"

c = c->previous;
}

[neos300]

Wait, that isn't causing the problem.

You aren't supposed to have that ; there.

[icantread49]

wow i didn't even see that :v: GCC/MSVC should warn you about that, IIRC

[neos300]

std::cout << "aa\n";
while(cc != NULL);
{
std::cout << "aa\n";
Well this is weird.
Only the first aa is shown (if I comment out the whole loop it works fine)

:v: GET RID OF THE ";" after the while (...), you have an empty while loop :v:

Is anyone here interested in making some graphics for the game I'm working on?
It's a version of an old viking game called [URL="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hnefatafl"]Hnefatafl[/URL].

Something like this, but from a top-down perspective:

Resources

A blank stone tile
One tile called the throne. The kings starting position.
A corner tile which the "King" is trying to get to.
A tile to mark the starting positions of whites pieces.
A tile to mark blacks starting position
A black piece
A white piece
Whites king piece

Currently I just use some simple grey tiles and Fleur-de-li's in different colors for the pieces :(
