Had a go at procedural terrain generation, it's a mixture of simplex noise and delaunay triangulation

Next goal: get some plateaus into the bumpy surface, probably something like described in here -> [url]http://oddlabs.com/download/terrain_generation.pdf[/url]

(Oh, that 4096x4096 blocks terrain took around 400ms to generate :D)

Today my stencilling toolblock arrived. I can tack down a PCB with the pinholes, and then put on a solder stencil over it. As the holes are perfectly aligned, I save a lot of time when applying solder paste to board.

Good op! I wouldn't like it if empty opening posts of WAYWO would become the new tradition <3
I'm "working" (playing around) with the Roslyn CTP. No pictures so far but I'll try to make something thats worth showing :)

Also this means all the thread numbers are wrong.

Oh FYI the new thread auto-lock post limit is 1000, so we might need to make a March+½ thread

Or... Just revert back to thread numbering.
when it was disabled we just went to monthly threads, We can switch back easy.

You could just change the numbers, none of the threads after "the forgotten thread" have their version number in the thread title.

[Torrunt]

I've been procrastinating from doing work on my game and made some changes to my [URL="https://github.com/Torrunt/AS3-Developer-Console"]AS3 Developer Console[/URL].

I made types and parameters show as different colours in the suggestion box, added a Fullscreen option (with a nice little slide animation like the open/close one), HOME/END keys now scroll to the top/bottom of the console and I fixed a little problem.

[IMG]http://i.imgur.com/9jPUKuE.png[/IMG][IMG]http://i.imgur.com/4EnFcaO.png[/IMG]

I managed to do a bit of work on my game today though. I added Hats, that fly off your head when you pick up another one. They also have a 5% chance to fly off every time you get hit (and fade away after a while) so you have to be careful if you want to keep your hat. We're planing of making them each have a little passive buff, similar to items in The Binding of Isaac. They are going to spawn randomly in levels, in unmarked crates or even on the heads of common zombies.

I got into the highlight post

now it's my time to shine

[editline]27th February 2013[/editline]

On a project related note, I'm about to start the great code refactoring of my game. This includes:

- Changing all my drawing code to be interface-independent, so I can switch between say, OpenGL 2 and 3 (or DirectX if I port it to windows and implement it)

- Adding support for OpenGL 3, which also means adding GLSL support as well.

- Implementing LuaJIT.

- Refactoring existing engine code if I see fit.

This is going to be a major pain.

.obj loading, normal + tangent + bitangent generation working :D

I wonder how well one can utilize the g-buffers for picking or screen based ray-casting or.. I don't know. Since I'm recreating the world position for each fragment in the lighting pass, I should be able to reconstruct the world position outside the gpu too no? Time to read back dem depthbuffer!

Picking ingame objects by colors with an extra render-pass is an awesome idea!
But remember to disable anti-aliasing for the color pass.

Ported [URL="https://github.com/dajoh/OpenSteamClient"]OpenSteamClient[/URL]'s TcpConnection class to POSIX today, which means that you can now make bots/clients who run natively on Linux! (and perhaps OSX too, but I haven't tested that)

[QUOTE=Felheart;39734743]Picking ingame objects by colors with an extra render-pass is an awesome idea!

I imagine the only downside to this is having more objects than colors, however considering there's 2^32 combinations I really doubt you'd ever have a collision, especially considering the worst case scenario would be an object per-pixel, and that's still much smaller than 2^32.

Now what would be REALLY interesting, is if you combined that with a separate buffer that stored information where each pixel corresponds to an object's model or world-space coordinates at that point (depending on your need). No need for ray-casting. In theory, you wouldn't even need a separate buffer.

You can divide up the view-port in to 400 million pixel chunks to avoid collisions.

If you had 2^32 objects and each of those would only take up one byte, that would still take up 4GB or RAM. I don't really think that's gonna happen :D

[Bladezor]

I think you guys misunderstood my post, I wasn't criticizing it.

It's a great method. :D

[Rìki]

Your color would only be 24bit. If you also use the alpha component then you'd get mixed colors if your background isn't {0,0,0,0}
And you also couldn't have overlapping objects. So in reality theres "only" space for 2^24 different objects if you want to be on the safe side :P

Well the typical resolution is 1920x1080 = 207360 pixels.
While: 2^24 = ~16 million

So even if you'd use the retarded high resolution 4K:
3840x2160 = ~8 million

So yeah, the amount of combinations will never be your limit :v:

[QUOTE=gparent;39734820]The pchsource and pchheader thing from my script didn't work?[/QUOTE]
Nah, I also noticed that your source and header pch's are in different places than the rest of your stuff so that might be why. VS kept giving me errors about not including the header even though it was, so I dunno.. I'll take a look again today.

Also its multiplayer, using the UDP servers I made a while back. I still need to implement TCP for sending packets other than game updates though.

Woo! Finally i added _graphics_ to it.
However, it seems i forgot to rotate it correctly.

Do any of you have any good resources on developing multiplayer for games? Like structure, architecture, writting the server, classes...

[cartman300]

Okay, good, i replaced textures with sprite entities, so i can rotate, clip, flip, mirror them...

[raccoon2112]

I have been doing a lot of boilerplate stuff in love2d if you guys want to hear about it. I'm probably going to make a nice platformer "engine" with a tilesystem, collisions, and a nice powerful editor.

Since this is my first time programming something from scratch the hardest part for me is not making it a huge mess
