Makes it incredibly easy to add support for new types of objects; just have to modify the copy constructor. Eventually I think this system might become a performance hog depending on how big scenes are loaded but it'll do for now. Gonna work on level saving/loading next since I've serialized the world now, should be a piece of cake.[/QUOTE] [QUOTE=bunguer;47859092]A little more progress, the hero finally gets to die: [vid]http://giant.gfycat.com/BossyHardtofindBlacknorwegianelkhound.webm[/vid] also, been trying to give more importance to killing a boss, however it needs some more work: [vid]http://a.pomf.se/hndota.webm[/vid][/QUOTE] [QUOTE=Karmah;47863140]Fixed point lights, the reflections were 200% bad, now they are 200% rad Ambient lighting + directional solar lighting (no shadows yet) + 2 point lights [t]http://i.imgur.com/d9NQZrp.png[/t] Just point lights illuminating the scene [t]http://i.imgur.com/0rO3zzs.png[/t] [video]http://a.pomf.se/vngvzm.mp4[/video] (tell me to stop posting at any time, I'm just having so much fun working with lighting) Next up, spot lighting, then shadow mapping![/QUOTE] [QUOTE=Gamerman12;47863739][media]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MFGCG4Hz9gQ[/media] messing around with some basic sounds/general gameplay showing off my [sp]hardcore disc throwing skills[/sp] gotta get that [URL="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IuGO6WHcruU"]tycho[/URL] out of my game eventually, but for now its some good placeholder music[/QUOTE] [QUOTE=AtomiCal;47867392][url=www.krillbite.com/jobs.php]We're looking for a programmer to join our team located in Norway[/url] We've made a game called Among the Sleep.

I can now spawn in as many lights as I want in real time from the editor->entities tab. For example, I made a new test map which has 13 different lighting sources between 4 different categories of lights. [t]http://i.imgur.com/RE4k7Uo.png[/t] I still can't believe that I'm able to do this sort of thing. Around this time last year I couldn't even figure out in my head how it would be possible to project 3D coordinates onto a 2D plane. Now, I really need to learn frame buffer objects, specifically how to apply them back to a scene, so that I can apply some anti-aliasing and any other filters in general. That is my goal for today. [B]Edit:[/B] The reason why there are 2 "orbs" of light for each point light is because the lights are off the ground. The big circle is the immediate surface being illuminated, and the smaller one is the specular reflection[/QUOTE] [QUOTE=polkm;47888629]I'm working on smoothing out the physics combat and dungeon generator.

After successfully implementing a depth buffer I decided it would be cool to try and use it for a pseudo-3D effect and the result looks quite good I think: This: [img]http://puu.sh/iehuN.jpg[/img] Turned into this: [img]http://puu.sh/iehvs.jpg[/img] [vid]http://puu.sh/iehH5.webm[/vid] Works by offsetting the position and scale of objects based on their depth before rendering them, however the renderer handles all that so their actual positions stay the same. To help convey the 3D effect I made a special class which renders trapezoids that "extend" back into the environment (the floor in the pictures). Everything is depth tested with previous depth data when rendered so things can intersect based on their depth and because of this it even supports order-independent draw sorting now! Still a lot of things to sort out, plus I need to completely redo the light shader so it uses the depth buffer instead of the 3-channel mask I have right now.[/QUOTE] [QUOTE=WillKirkby;47897884]Successfully rendering out the chunk data from LEGO Worlds.

I got the general shape of the land I want - Behold! AUSTRALIA (Completely procedurally generated!) [IMG]http://i.imgur.com/BmhtfMO.png[/IMG] (The land isn't flat, the coloring is relative, so the mountains make everything else seems flat) The river are randomly generated as well, and pool in low points or pour into the oceans. The next point is to generate a wind map - this part is undone, I'm working on it: [IMG]http://i.imgur.com/vzdjaPi.png[/IMG] (The color represents the angle of the wind in HSV, and there is a bit of artifacting around the borders. I'm not calculating the wind's speed yet, as the temperature map isn't nearly done, won't even showcase it yet) Next, I use the wind map, rivers and coastlines to generate a rainfall map: [IMG]http://i.imgur.com/th3wW7E.png?1[/IMG] (Doesn't factor in wind as much as it should (yet) and doesn't factor in temperature at all) Once I finish the temperature map and tweak all the calculations of wind and rainfall (And coastline depth) I'll use that info to make biomes as well. Other than the rivers, everything is easily ported to the 3D voxel terrain I used (Scratched that whole Voronoi polygons thing, wasn't dynamic enough - months of work thrown to the trash :suicide:). I've made some procedurally generated trees (Only spruce and pine so far) which are ready to be scattered wherever necessary, more trees on the way. Oh, and some of the generation process is multithreaded, so the game doesn't freeze when its generating the map - generation takes about 15 seconds as of now. So... What do you think?

In-between, lots of Uni work popped up and I never got around to releasing it. It's pretty much been completed for the past month or so, but just finishing up the final bits took a little time which I didn't have. If you'll remember, I made that little internet controlled car a few months ago. The fun was really in making it, and seeing other people use it. So a housemate and I came up with another idea. First of all, we picked up this bad boy for a tenner: [IMG]https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/10518681/Screenshots/img_type.jpg[/IMG] It came with no user manual, but we could figure out our way around it without too much hassle. It's surprisingly advanced for a bit of 1983 tech. It has a spell checker, supports justification and right/left/center align, can erase letters types, and has all sorts of other cool features. I couldn't figure out how to set the WiFi up though :~) We set to hacking it apart in order to reverse engineer it. At this point, we didn't really know what we'd do with it, only that it'd involve our newly acquired typewriter. With both of us final-year electronics engineering students, we had a few ideas on how to start reverse engineering it. Firstly, we looked at any obvious I/O sockets with a logic analyser. The typewriter itself has a ROM expansion bay on the back, with one pre-existing ROM "package" already inserted in. Presumably this was how firmware was updated before the internet came around. Removing the pre-existing ROM package disabled certain functionality of the typewriter, such as the LCD screen, so we assumed that the ROM package contained the real brains of the typewriter. Investigation with a logic analyser proved futile, and we couldn't get anything meaningful. We spent a few days mulling over the options and angles of attack, and concluded that the easiest way would be to emulate the keyboard electronically. We tore out the keyboard, and were pretty confused by what we found. The keyboard itself was mostly just a PCB, with rubber domes to interface between the PCB and the plastic keys. Finding out how to stimulate the PCB was out of the question, so we instead turned our attention to the ribbon cable leading to the embedded keyboard from the rest of the control electronics. The ribbon cable carries all the signals used by the keyboard, so in theory it should be possible to do everything we need to do from here - it would just be a little harder to hack it. Again, we fired up the logic analyser and had a look at what signals were coming and going from the keyboard. The results were very difficult to interpret. We didn't even know where ground was on this thing (and we still never figured that one out so we had to use a grounding plate located within the machine!). Plus, all the signals were inverse polarity, which is common in the electronics world but it did throw us for a while. After a few days, we'd built up a rough idea of the inputs and outputs sent along the ribbon cable. As it turns out, I noticed that the keyboard seemed to be employing the use of a matrix in order to minimize the number of cables required. The way this works is straightforward enough: rows are electrically connected to all of the columns via switches. When the key on the keyboard is pressed, the row becomes electrically connected to a particular column. That way, when you set a row high, you look for signals on all of the columns. The column that is also high is the column that corresponds to the key pressed. The row that is driven high corresponds to the row they key is on. Now you have a row for the key and a column for the key, and so you can derive what key was pressed. Sorry for the poor explanation, you can read about this [URL="http://pcbheaven.com/wikipages/How_Key_Matrices_Works/"]here[/URL]. So far we knew the keyboard was a matrix keyboard, and we knew the output pins (you can tell because the logic analyser showed them all pulsing one after the other). So it was a matter of: 1. Mapping the output/input pin combination to each particular key. This was a repetitive task in which we simply bridged the connection between all known output pins to all known input pins and mapped the combinations to the key that was typed. We built up a mapping of the combinations to keys. 2. Emulating the functionality of the keyboard switches by programming an AVR and manipulating the appropriate outputs such that it appeared to the control circuitry that a key was pressed. This involved highly accurate timing, and took quite a while to get working correctly [img_thumb]https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/10518681/Camera/IMG_20150216_000326.jpg[/img_thumb] ^Housemate and I working late on mapping it all out After much wizardry and hackery, we finally got the AVR emulating the functionality of the keyboard, and it was able to type letters we required. We decided that we'd let Twitter control what was typed, and provide a live feed, so you can type on a typewriter from anywhere in the world :v: We made a UART link between the AVR and a Raspberry Pi, and my housemate wrote a script to gather tweets from a twitter account (@typeranter) on the Pi, and forward them to the AVR, which would then control the typing, newlines, etc. I'll go into more detail if anyone is interested, but for now you can see what we've done here: You can either Tweet @typeranter to type something, or send it via the website below: [URL="http://www.typeranter.com"]www.typeranter.com[/URL] [IMG]http://orbit.bitnode.co.uk:54321/stream[/IMG] (^livestream.

[/B] Today I've revamped my texturing system! Previously, every single object bound its own texture to the current context, but now I've introduced a middle-man which checks the requested texture against the currently bound ones, preventing duplicates and conserving memory. Additionally, I've built a system to support animated textures! [vid]http://a.loveisover.me/gdaxre.mp4[/vid] Which means I can now support animated normal maps/bump maps: Before (without normal map) vs After (with normal map) [vid]http://i.imgur.com/YZBiUoW.webm[/vid][vid]http://i.imgur.com/sa7yrUB.webm[/vid] The texture isn't that great, plus I had to use a filter to make my own normal map, but I think it works properly.

This time I'm going with a top-down perspective because ladders are hard, and because I want to basically make a narrative-driven free-roaming FTL-like game. My strength is in writing rather than porging, so I'm gonna try and get a fun game skeleton up and going as soon as possible, then get cracking with a good story. /blog [img]http://i.imgur.com/IU6hfmx.jpg[/img] [editline]23rd June 2015[/editline] also I want to switch to libgdx like someone suggested but I'm too far in now and can't be fucked migrating old code.

Can we have one quote per user please?

Every month I look at the highlights and realise I've done nothing really exciting that month.

Congrats to everyone in the hightlights, I guess I didn't do much last month, so I kinda deserve not getting in. But I'll try to get off my fat-ass this month and do some sick game development. [I][B]You'll see![/B][/I]

I think you'd find that the unhealthy obsession with everything needing to be showcasable results in very little being showcasable. Some boring work has to be done to create real intrinsic value.

Man, I made so much progress I showed up thrice :v: On a less flashy note I've been working on some back end stuff like parent/child relations, physics setup as well as refining the way I save my maps. Currently the block for storing sprite objects looks like this: [code] Sprites { [Barrel_06] [root] [37204968] [PHYS_DEBRIS] [1007, 764.5] [0] [0.25, 0.25] [255, 255, 255, 255] [0.475] [0]; [DragonKnight] [root] [423262486] [PHYS_DYNAMIC] [591, 722] [0] [0.25, 0.25] [255, 255, 255, 255] [0.5] [0]; [SpriteObject_36] [DragonKnight] [1437165192] [PHYS_NONE] [-515, 551] [0] [1, 1] [255, 255, 255, 255] [0.6] [0]; }[/code] Not sure if it'll turn out messy if I add lots of parameters but I like how simple it is now. Now to fix some physics bugs and start working on an actor/player class.

I wrote a flag system for Rant that lets you set/unset arbitrary flags kind of like a C-style preprocessor. I added a little twist, though: you don't have to follow your if/ifndef condition directly with the body to be executed. You can place it anywhere after the point where the condition is. Basic usage is pretty straightforward: [code][define: A] [ifdef: A] [then: A is defined\n] [else: A is not defined\n] # -> A is defined[/code] [code][ifdef: A] [then: A is defined\n] [else: A is not defined\n] # -> A is not defined[/code] But because of the modular nature of the conditions, you can do some really... interesting things. [code][define: A] [ifdef: A] [then: A is defined\n] [undef: A] [else: A is not defined\n] # -> A is defined # -> A is not defined[/code] [code][define: A] [ifdef: A] [undef: A] [then: A is defined\n] [else: A is not defined\n] # -> A is not defined[/code] [code][define: A] [ifndef: A] [undef: A] [then: A is not defined\n] [define: A] [else: A is defined\n] # -> A is not defined # -> A is defined[/code] Documentation pages: [URL="http://berkin.me/rantdocs/functions/define/"]http://berkin.me/rantdocs/functions/define/[/URL] [URL="http://berkin.me/rantdocs/functions/else/"]http://berkin.me/rantdocs/functions/else/[/URL] [URL="http://berkin.me/rantdocs/functions/ifdef/"]http://berkin.me/rantdocs/functions/ifdef/[/URL] [URL="http://berkin.me/rantdocs/functions/ifndef/"]http://berkin.me/rantdocs/functions/ifndef/[/URL] [URL="http://berkin.me/rantdocs/functions/undef/"]http://berkin.me/rantdocs/functions/undef/[/URL] [URL="http://berkin.me/rantdocs/functions/toggle/"]http://berkin.me/rantdocs/functions/toggle/[/URL]

I thought your stranded unity thing was very pretty and memorable if it means anything.

Oh neat, I made the highlights :D So, my latest little thing, I wrote another pathtracer. As a 3DS homebrew. Running on the CPU. It's hella slow. [video=youtube;J-97SiRcIkY]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J-97SiRcIkY[/video] (ignore the bells at 0:09, my local church likes to ring them every quarter-hour, even at 2:30am....) At 16 and 256 passes respectively it looks like this (rendered on my PC because I've not learned 3DS file I/O yet): [img]https://i.imgur.com/rMmOINd.png[/img] [img]https://i.imgur.com/RjAd39Z.png[/img] And yes, I coded the math so that it can render in stereo, but I disabled that for the video above. I enable/disable it with preprocessor logic so as not to slow down mono rendering unnecessarily.

"hello world"

I drew more cartridges + bullets and did some concept work on how to render and animate magazines [img]https://40.media.tumblr.com/8e98d3565b56779554083a0b2e241dca/tumblr_inline_nqud2hJ4PG1rgvn4n_540.png[/img] Does this look passable at the moment? If you really zoom in on bullets they look pretty weird :v:

So GPU voxelization works. Kind of. [img]http://i.imgur.com/T2TkjBv.png[/img] The actual voxelization part is working fine. The issue is that the different projections don't converge correctly. The voxels probably seem wrong in size. That's because they are but that's just a projection issue, it's not even going to be part of the finished product. [editline]2nd July 2015[/editline] I just realized how shitty this looks. I didn't even make the generated cubes be cubes, they're like retarded tie fighters atm.
