[QUOTE=Ziks;50444267]The array itself is allocated separately, so the class would just contain a reference to an array (or null).[/QUOTE]

Well, if the value types get allocated on the stack, what do you fill the array with? How can you have a persistent object allocated on stack?

[QUOTE=Darwin226;50448206]Well, if the value types get allocated on the stack, what do you fill the array with? How can you have a persistent object allocated on stack?[/QUOTE]

It's only allocated on the stack in the case of parameters or local variables inside methods. To make sure I'm not being ambiguous, the "new" keyword doesn't allocate at all for structs, it's just the semantics for calling a constructor. When I say "allocated on the stack", I mean space is reserved on the stack for value type variables within a method. When you pass a value type somewhere else, that value is copied across rather than passing a reference to the location on the stack.

Also arrays aren't value types, so they are allocated on the heap.

Yeah, of course. This makes sense. I thought people were saying that structs were always "allocated" on the stack.

    for (int i = 0; i < pixels.toString().length(); i++){
        pixelsint[i] = pixels.toString().charAt(i) - '0';
    }

    bitmap.copyPixelsFromBuffer(IntBuffer.wrap(pixelsint));
    return bitmap;

I basically just want a bitmap in the end.

Suffered from really bad performance recently and could not for the life of me figure out why. Turns out I had for some reason beyond my comprehension enabled both vsync and fps limiting at the same time. Only took three hours to find out.

Also here's a video showing some new stuff, a new cloth system in particular.

Initially I had a lot of problems with the Verlet integration: links would over-rotate and get stuck in awkward positions. I solved this by simply moving the simulation from 2D to 3D, but still drawing it in 2D. This gives the links room to move in z space, and prevents them from locking themselves into incorrect angles!

Last time I put up LED strip lighting for wall accenting in a spinal office it put off more light than the 50 downlights they had in the lobby combined. It used SMD5050 modules if that matters.

Right, I just used the cheapest strips I could find on aliexpress. I'll look into those thanks

So at what point is this no longer a 2D engine, and what exactly are you gaining from doing it this way?

[QUOTE=Asgard;50453694]So at what point is this no longer a 2D engine, and what exactly are you gaining from doing it this way?[/QUOTE]

Honestly at this point I feel like I'm going to port the renderer to actually being 3D at some point (a big bottleneck right now is that a lot of render code happens on the CPU due to the 2D limitations of SFML). I'm very comfortable with SFML though and not so comfortable with regular OpenGL hence why I've been doing it this way, but I'm quickly learning native OpenGL coding. I do absolutely love basing it all on sprites though, the pipeline for creating assets is [B]so[/B] much faster than if they were in 3D.

Plus I feel like this is more unique than just another 3D engine, which a lot of people have told me also.

I can totally see what the romans where going for, the aesthetics complete my room.

[Berkin]

A number of things I've been working on in the past couple weeks:

In order to achieve maximum efficiency and performance in its Sanity Plea integration, Rant's runtime and compiler are getting a full rewrite and being converted to use a bytecode-based format. I am also completely redesigning its embedded scripting language and adding a bunch of new cool features. I expect this to take about two weeks.

I've started completely from scratch on the Sanity Plea project after realizing that I had made a number of terrible design decisions. I feel like this decision was for the best. I've already made some huge progress in just a few days and I'm very excited to show you guys what I've done. There's still a lot of work to do before I can post a demo, but I am very happy with my progress so far. Everything is coming together so much faster now that I know what the fuck I'm doing.

SanityCore, the backend for the game that handles all realtime simulations (economy, news media, weather, power grid, etc...), is coming along beautifully. As soon as I have the new Rant up and running, I will have some very interesting stuff to share related to this.

[vlad]

been a lot of on and off "trying to learn programming" and I'm back to trying and I actually feel like I'm making progress and having fun for once. I tried using courses and so on but I know too much while not knowing enough to be able to sit through them.

decided to "learn by doing" and actually had two project ideas which I think may be useful for my self. so much fun to work on!

always found it a little tedious to find my way to Putty, connect, select screen session and so on when whitelisting people for my MC servers so figured, I could make this more streamlined by making something myself.

[t]https://pred.me/pics/cmd_2016-06-04_12-51-46.png[/t]

it's not a lot but man have I struggled to get this going. its main function isn't in place yet, but I've finished the other stuff. if a config file is present, it'll read from that and connect like in the pic. if it's not present, it'll notify the user and tell them to insert hostname, username, password and port. it'll generate a .txt file and resume the program, then read the values inserted earlier from the .txt and connect using it. I plan on encrypting / hashing / whatever the .txt so the details aren't in plaintext once the program is more "complete". so much more fun to work on your own projects than sitting through mind numbing courses and doing made up exercises with no actual function
