Yeah, I'm going to rewrite that after I change the collision.

You really suck at mining for personal details.

Oh, too late it seems
Started working on styling my controls library a little.

Giving up on sidescrollers because of how dawn complicated and annoying the physics is, and moving on to writing a top down engine, it looks like fun.
[QUOTE=ZenX2;28883988]how dawn complicated and annoying the physics is[/QUOTE]
elaborate.
It just gets on my nerves. I've never really gotten the hang of it, despite the fact I wrote my own platform physics engine.

The Canadian Computing Contest was marked. I got ~18th, and was 1 point away from being invited to the week-long seminar they have for the winners. Apparently they need to invite someone from each region of Canada, so a few people who weren't in the top twenty get an invite. One typo cost me 12 marks on a question :(

I wrote it, didn't get an invite either.

caching not done yet, it will be done eventually. you'll also be able to pick multiple weapons and filter by that, but only separate weapons implemented so far.

and the generator is taped together and i need to get around to fixing it up, when fixed the renders will take a fraction of the time. it's taking so long because the imagemagick library i'm using doesn't have one of the things i need so I have to call some stuff directly from command line. hacky, but it works now and will be improved upon.

That, and the fact that my username has the name Shane in it, not Nicolas. Throw in the fact that a Shane appears in the list of honourable mentions, and it should be pretty clear which name is more likely :P
Either way, Bob, I'm sure Nicolas appreciates your kind words, whoever he is :D
Irtimid, did you write the senior? What'd you think? It seemed extremely easy this year compared to the others. Any other year I'd probably be lucky to get over 45 or so, but this year it was just a small typo which prevented me from getting perfect (although with a completely unfair solution to number 5 that completely bypasses the problem).
Richy, how did you rotate the player in your zombie game?
I can't figure the math for the life of me :saddowns:

Not sure if it's really necessary yet, but if you need more speed [url=http://www.graphicsmagick.org/]GraphicsMagick[/url] might be of use. It fairly consistently performs better than ImageMagick.
Or playerRotation = atan2(mouseY-playerY, mouseX-playerX)

I'll give it a look, thanks. Can't check as am on phone but yeah
The reason it was going slow was because the imagemagick c++ library doesn't support clut. I am having to call it direct from the command line, hopefully gm supports it...

Does this have a working SFML renderer yet? If it doesn't, I might have a crack at one.
I don't know how working it is, but I think it has one.

Again, having played Crysis 2, I decided to poke around at my SSAO a bit. I'd always been more of a fan of keeping the AO the same size in world space. Which means it doesn't fluctuate based on distance, but you either lose high frequency AO or the low frequency AO. Also, the performance goes up and down based on distance. Crysis 1, and 2 both using a purely screen space solution, which I've changed mine to. It's hard to make out whats in the picture, but up close you can see high frequency AO on the chair legs and very low frequency AO behind the toilets. This does mean the AO changes size when you move towards it, but I don't think it's too bad. My general rule: If it's good enough for Crysis, it's damn well good enough for me.
[img]http://i.imgur.com/aGA2m.jpg[/img]
Thought I'd run some of my old stuff through my engine with its new improvements. I think the new SSAO is much better especially for stuff like this. Also through down several bounce lights which I didn't have before, and the temporal AA cleans it up a bit.
I'm so proud of this! First thing I've ever programmed, made a thing to parse through TMX files from Tiled ( [url]http://www.mapeditor.org/[/url] ) to load them into a 3D array for use in a game I'm planning on making.
[code]
public void loadLevel(string mapName)
{
XmlTextReader reader = new XmlTextReader(mapName);
int x = 0;
int y = 0;
int z = 0;
int gid = 0;
while (reader.Read())
{
//Reading TMX file from Tiled and getting the dimensions for the coming array (x,y,z) z being layers.
switch (reader.Name)
{
case "xml":
break;
case "map":
//x
if(reader.GetAttribute("width") != null)
width = Convert.ToInt32(reader.GetAttribute("width"));
//y
if(reader.GetAttribute("height") != null)
length = Convert.ToInt32(reader.GetAttribute("height"));
break;
case "layer":
//z
height++;
reader.Skip();
break;
default:
//reader.Skip();
break;
}
}
reader.Close();
//define array based on above values
mapArray = new int[width, length, height];
while (reader.Read())
{
switch (reader.Name)
{
case "layer":
z++;
break;
case "data":
break;
case "tile":
gid = Convert.ToInt32(reader.GetAttribute(gid));
break;
default:
//reader.Skip();
break;
}
//inserting data into array
if (x < width)
{
mapArray[x, y, z] = gid;
x++;
}
else if (y < height)
{
mapArray[x, y, z] = gid;
x = 0;
y++;
}
else
{
mapArray[x, y, z] = gid;
x = 0;
y = 0;
}
reader.Close();
}
}
[/code]
It loads it all into an array correctly, now I can make maps easily! I'm going to later use the the player position with the array to load only the tiles around the player or something, so it's not all loaded at once.

Wow, that's way simpler than what I've been doing.
Basic trigonometry goes a long way.

Nope, they're not... Seems like even null input generates something.
