I don't know if you remember. A while back I wrote a simple ray tracer in Haskell. Recently I've been playing around with the accelerate library which (more or less) let's you run Haskell on the GPU. It basically replaces the usual Haskell constructs with functions that generate an expression tree and then it compiles that tree to CUDA. It's not THAT plug and play since it did take me a day to adapt my code simply due to the fact that I never used the library and because some things you just can't do on the GPU, but a surprising amount of code didn't need a single character changed. Anyways, the speedup is pretty huge (keep in mind that if the original was unoptimized CPU tracing, this is unoptimized AND naive CUDA tracing). Around 10 times faster or more.

[QUOTE=proboardslol;50379394]If anyone wants to use my map maker for their own project: [url]http://alissa.ninja/MapMaker/MapMaker.html[/url] not really done. But you can add tiles via the tiles.js file, and you can write your own save function to determine how the map file is written (which bits = which attributes). The code quality isn't great (understatement), but I wasn't really sure of what I wanted to do before I started doing it.[/QUOTE] I think you used the wrong window size data, since as I approach the bottom the position is off. [editline]24th May 2016[/editline] [QUOTE=Darwin226;50379534]Make sure you also provide some context to the translated strings. For example the Croatian translation on Rotten Tomatoes is hilarious because it says "Blizu" on the buttons that are meant to say "Close" in English. Guess someone interpreted the "close" as "near" instead of the "opposite of open".[/QUOTE] There are also games on Steam where that was the case (or they outright used Google Translate, not sure). It often says 'retten' ('to save') instead of 'speichern' ('to save') in those. The former means 'to rescue'.

(Seriously though, why would you ever put all variables at the start except in old C?) [editline]25th May 2016[/editline] Too bad the managed interface is extremely C++-y :why: You might as well just use that language instead of C# at that point.

[QUOTE=Tamschi;50385376]It looks fine to me, variable names and scoping aside. (Seriously though, why would you ever put all variables at the start except in old C?)[/QUOTE] How should I put this? This is like writing a post. You group ideas together in paragraphs, you separate things by blocks of ideas, you put commas and you paste URLs to document ideas and prove points, you rework and reorder sentences to avoid rambling/repeating yourself. It might even be an amazingly in-depth post about the human psychology. But you didn't use commas, no paragraphs, zero bibliographical references, no footnotes, zero flow, and for some reason you kept getting side-tracked. That and you used 'xD', and you just don't do that anymore. [editline]24th May 2016[/editline] [QUOTE=adnzzzzZ;50385242]This code isn't entirely bad.

[QUOTE=proboardslol;50386857]If you're a Javascript expert how to you left shift bits off of an integer in Javascript, huh???[/QUOTE] [code] Value = ((Number << NumberOfBits) & MaxValue) >> NumberOfBits [/code] Left shifting extends the number, bitwise AND ignores the bits that extend the number above the MaxValue (should be a power of two) and right shift returns the bits to original position [img]http://carp.tk/$/1464144592.png[/img] [editline]25th May 2016[/editline] Which is obvious when you think about it, because you can't specify the variable type in JS, so it just extends it to the type that can fit all the bits. In C it just drops the extra bits because of overflow unless you're assigning to a variable of bigger size.

You guys are dorks.

Any of you guys worked with MSVC + Clang? What are the differences between the Clang version provided and the nightlies (apart from the obvious 3.7 < 3.9)? It seems to have compiled my code just fine for now, but I am about to start using Hana + Callable Traits and I assume those are gonna push the C++14 support really hard.

Also, this is probably better: [code]((250<<1) & (0xFF>>>0)) >> 1[/code] The >>> operator forces the value to unsigned int.

Haha, I just got a crash report from someone who clearly pirated my game. I can tell since unless the user says not to, the crash reporter includes a screenshot: [t]http://i.imgur.com/VMC7gmO.png[/t] He even included his email as if I'm going to follow up with him and try to fix it (it's a crash that wouldn't affect anyone else).

I revamped how the map in my game works, it's magnitudes faster now and lets me have massive maps: [t]http://puu.sh/p4wFO/67a3667b47.png[/t][t]http://puu.sh/p4wyE/b888af4ef0.png[/t] Left is old (256x256), Right is new (2048x2048) The only performance bottle neck now is pathfinding, which I need to multithread at some point. It's still fun to watch the AI build stuff in the bigger maps: [t]http://puu.sh/p4whT/0f1f659cad.png[/t] They're still a bit weird though [t]http://puu.sh/p4wmR/1b3a69ea4b.png[/t] I have no idea how or why they made that ball-joint looking path.

As in, it will only send a screenshot when you explicitly tell it to. Or is it like a dialog box that pops up after a crash and asks if you want to send a bug report and says, "yo click here if you don't want to send a screenshot"?

The problem with changing it to be off by default is that most people won't notice or bother to tick the box to include one since it's on a separate tab in the crash reporter. The crash reporter doesn't give me that much information to go on, so screenshots can really help me out sometimes.

So my tile engine originally just iterated through a 2d array of tiles and drew each one independently. It was slow, because apparently SFML's draw function is kinda slow, idk why something about OpenGL. Anyways, someone online said to draw each tile to a buffer once at startup (or whenever the map changes) and to draw that buffer once per loop, so I did that and it worked fine. However, I wanted to see if I could optimize it in some way so I temporarily switched it back to the original way and now it works perfectly no framerate lag. Computers are weird :mystery:

Thought I'd skip the lurking I usually do in these kinds of threads as somebody told me I should post this here so, here we go: [video=youtube;FbK6GTk_s64]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FbK6GTk_s64[/video] A very rough 2D game runtime thingie with something you could call an embedded editor, really just a prototype. Uses SAT with AABBs atm for collision, I should probably switch that to something Minkowski based as SAT doesn't really fly too well with fast moving objects as soon as the collision volumes get thin, but as implementing manifold generation with the SAT approach cost me most of my night due to some silly mistakes I made I just left that in for now. Coded in C++ using dear imgui for the interface (and as a matter of fact even for the "sprites") with SDL2 for window and input handling and DX11 for the rendering. Probably should switch that out for Vulkan soon to make it run on Linux as well, as I don't really want to touch OpenGL anymore. Apologies for the awkward cough at the end. I didn't realize my mic was on until I'd uploaded the video.

So partially because I think it'd be neat and partially because I think it would annoy people, I want to use a fake assembly language from scripting in my game. a handful of instructions to execute, for stuff like dialogue and other events

If someone has a suggestion for a better one, maybe I'll change it. I was thinking about trying to use the steamworks crash reporter but there's no implementation of it in Steamworks.Net at the moment, so I'll have to figure that out.

my 3d games development project is "done". only one of the 5 powerups work and its a bit janky all round but when you have 2 other group members and youre the only one who knows how to program you do your best. i made so much progress today on it (because this is the last day i can work on it, going away on holiday) if i had done this on any other day i could have polished it for the rest of the time i had left. i changed the character from the default unity "Ethan" to a man in a suit i got off the assets store, made the game really funny to play.
