TUER: Truly Unusual Experience of Revolution, FPS using JOGL

in your article, the link http://www.gamedev.net/reference/articles/article1891.asp is dead.

Hi!

Thank you very much. It was a very nice article, I hope it has only been moved somewhere else. I will try to find it.

Edit.: It seems to be there now:
http://archive.gamedev.net/reference/programming/features/apg/

Edit2.: I will update the source code of the implementation of the merger as soon as possible.

Hi!

The third step has been almost fully implemented. If some people with some knowledge in maths could have a look at it, it would be helpful. I use Pythagorean theorem, it is not very complicated:
https://tuer.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/tuer/pre_beta/jfpsm/CoplanarAdjacentRightTrianglesWithCanonical2DTextureCoordinatesMerger.java

I will commit the fourth step and maybe the fifth step tomorrow.

Hi

I took a day off Wednesday as I was very tired. I implemented the fourth step of the algorithm. I take care of the normals of the faces because it is important for the lights. I should rename the class because its name does not take into account the importance of the orientation and the fact that the texture coordinates of the hypotenuse have to be the same.

I will use a simplified quad tree for the fifth step.

Hi

I’m still working on my optimization but I prepare the switch to JOGL 2 and JOAL too. I can use my Gamecube pad on my computer, maybe I will try to use JInput too.

This link (and hence the link in the roadmap) is also a 404.

It’s great to see the progress with Tuer. This is another project that may benefit from being cross-posted to the FreeGameDev forums.

Thank you very much. I will update the link in my article.

Hi!

Ardor3D now works with JOGL 2.0 :slight_smile: I have succeeded:

Police are marionettes of the government, as are soldiers, and governments / people that hold power are evil.
By this simple outlook of things, police brutality is not the least bit surprising and disliking police should be natural, since they are but agents of the government.
Which is why I would love to insult the police in TUER ;D

But I hope I don’t start a political discussion, don’t take it too seriously, to anyone who might offend this.

You reassure me, I’m not alone :slight_smile: Thanks.

I know some people disagree with me but I don’t try to denigrate their views. You didn’t say anything offending, don’t worry.

Police marionettes of the government? The only “marionetting” I see from policemen is protecting my community and city >:(

Brutalizing non violent demonstrators participating to legal demonstrations is not what I would call “protecting my community and city”. As I said, Cero and me do not want to offend anyone and I’m aware that some people here disagree with me.

At the risk of derailing the thread I think it’s pretty harsh to attack people that are doing a job, and while you might not agree with all of the action they’re told to do - a large part of job is risking their lifes to protect you and your community.

It fine to have political views but they come across much better if you don’t attack pawns in the system.

Kev

I have been physically attacked 4 times in my life and the policemen have never been there to protect me. Therefore, I think I can have a doubt about this protection. My big brother is one of the “pawns” of the system as a soldier. When the “pawns” only do what they are told to without wondering whether it is fair and ethical or because they completely agree with the orders they receive, they aren’t anymore pawns, they are responsible. I don’t say that all policemen aren’t pawns but I don’t the say the opposite. In the scenario of TUER, it is clear that policemen who refuse to surrender will be neutralized (without violence if possible, otherwise …).

Imo, that’s a bit like saying that politicians only seek the good for the people. It might be true for some politicians, but unfortunately, because of human nature, you will find politicians who won’t have that type of thinking(who never heard a story of corruption ?). And, imo, it’s the case in every job, police force included. But don’t get me wrong, I am sure that not all policemen / politicians are evil, some of them do have a consciousness.

Even the frontier between good and evil is political, I don’t deny that corruption is a problem but it is sometimes a part of some political views (not mine).

Maybe we should not derail too much this thread :wink:

No system of government is perfect. Corruption is inevitable, the only thing that the people (might) have to protected themselves is a united “faith” in a constitution, as a piece of paper has no power in itself.

I know im adding to the off railing of this thread, but I just dont get the point of any extremest views, as the “right” way.

oh god, I knew it would end like this ;D
insert heated political debate here =D

so how is TUER progress coming anyway ? is there anything real playable yet ?

The alpha version has been playable for years, I have between 100 and 200 weekly users on the Chrome Webstore.

The version using Ardor3D can be tested but it is not yet a real game.

Hi

The source code is on Sourceforge.net. I will give you more information about that in a few days on my personal blog.
