Not sure if you have had the opportunity to use the Oculus Rift. But from your stand point which one do you think is better? Does Vive do certain things better than the O.R? With them both being 'officially released' soon was trying to get more information.

For more of an FPS game does O.R work better, but for things like your video the Vive work better? Or is it mostly just personal preference?

Since I wear glasses that is another HUGE problem (not sure if you wear glasses). Do you know which one would better for a person who wears glasses and so on.

Other then that I always love seeing your videos and things you post.

Got an interview with SAIC tomorrow! Went to a career fair and got positive feedback on my projects and resume from a few companies. Thanks for all your help facepunch

I haven't been lucky enough to try either, but I've been following the "Oculus Rift / Virtual Reality General" thread and since there are various lens-options in the HMD units I believe there shouldn't be much of a problem for people with glasses.
Only problem I've heard could be for shot-sighted people because your focal point using an HMD is basically an infinite distance away from you, but I'm not really sure about that.

What are you trying to do? allowing for simultaneous arrow presses?

edit:

One solution can be to use a vector2 (0, 0):
left subtracts 1 from x, right adds 1 to x
up subtracts 1 from y, down adds 1 to y

then you can handle the correct direction pressed.

This would be a really cool perspective and control mechanic for sim/tycoon/god games

[KmartSqrl]

Why are you using switch to check boolean values?

I haven't tried the latest Rift / Oculus Touch so I can't compare them yet. I've heard that people that have tried both feel the Vive currently provides a better experience, but the Vive will probably be more expensive too. If I get a chance to try the new Rift I'll let you know how I think they compare.

The guys at the office that wear glasses don't seem to have any issues with it, besides being careful not to pull their glasses off when they take off the headset!

Embarrassed to say I did something similar in two of the projects I've out on my resume

[editline]30th September 2015[/editline]

Does anyone have any literature on game servers in Java?

Also I want to encode maps in this game I'm working on as tile by tile with a header at the top, each byte (or 2 bytes or 4) representing a tile. How can I make sure that maps aren't substituted by someone's server with actual binary files as malware? Can I just restrict the playable maps to the ones that come with the game and verify them with an md5 checksum?

Ratings are rigged. I can't have so much wtf.

[URL="https://facepunch.com/showthread.php?t=1405898&p=45321482#post45321482"]This is your post with the most Programming King ratings.[/URL]

That accounts for about a quarter of them out of the 1,854 posts you've made. Seems like a reasonable figure to me.

[Fourier]

How is this possible.

I'm pretty sure one of my highest-rated posts was my first WAYWO post ever. It was a GIF of me flipping through outputs from the random story generator I wrote in [I]high school[/I]. I didn't think anyone would even care lol.

Use bitmasking, ie first bit up, second right, third down, fourth left:
0000 means nothing
0001 means right
0101 means left to right
1100 means up and right

[Foda]

ended up changing the perspective from ortho to perspective. solves a lot of our issues, and we think it ends up making the game feel a lot move responsive and dynamic. we now can use deferred too, so performance went up by 50% or so.

So I decided to bring my old unity game made entirely out of primitives back from the grave...

Baby steps! Players can see each other and there's no jittering. Time of day is also synchronized. My plan is to make a co-op game entirely out of unity primitives!
Should an object stay between the player and the camera, said object will become transparent. Yay!

My best post had more than your best post

So I implemented a really crappy collision detection(a for loop in each objects step, except for now it's just in my player object..). It manages to break depth sorting some how.

Audio warning, I didn't know OBS was recording spotify.

GridWorld2 was way better than GridWorld. GridWorld looks like it was written by a bunch of unpaid interns hired by The College Board.
