What I did today

Just remember, it seems you will have to unlearn some of that stuff because he is teaching you to interact with shaders using built-in functions & variables. (As opposed to using uniforms / attributes)

That’s the problem i have seen with OpenGL development, there are 100 different ways to do anything, but after this i was going to start another game development series and learn how a different person with a different prospective created 3D games and design a game accordingly to what i have learned.

I would recommend both TheBennyBox and ThinMatrix. Both are pretty decent playlists, although there are obviously better ways to structure some of the topics they cover (and you can see that they have a certain style of coding). If you’re more into reading (and going into more depth/greater understanding), I can recommend this, this, this, and this.

I implemented a proper gui and state switching in my engine (sans actual graphics). This let me implement an actual lobby, so I am one step closer to syncing the multiplayer starting time (instead of one player creating a game and the others all joining after it starts).

Chears, i understand LWJGL/OpenGL is a huge undertaking to learn but i have 6~ months before university where i can start learning OpenGL, for when i join uni to do Game Dev :D.

Everyone here is talking about getting into various universities. I feel like a black sheep; I’m still stuck in my second year of high school.

I just fixed a stupid bug in my program. I was calling the setIdentity() method on a projection matrix facepalm doing that makes it look like the depth test isn’t working, but it’s just a problem with the proj matrix.

EDIT [4 hours later] : I just finished another LWJGL practice. Every week or so I create a really simple game engine from scratch using LWJGL. It helps me to keep in touch with the API.

I’m not sure how your education system works but i have been out of school for a while after completing my secondary education (age 11-16) then college (16-17) and then ~ 3 years at a web development company. So im going to uni quite late, so don’t worry about when or if you go to university since 9/10 times you can get into the industry with experience alone .

[SHC]

Our education starts at age 4, where 4-5 is play school, 6-12 school, 12-16 high school, 16-18 junior college, 18-22 college, 22-24 uni, 24-job. University is optional here, so you can find a job even at 22.

I didn’t even go to college, all my friends are there right now so I go visit them almost every weekend but that’s the height of experience Don’t worry about it, enjoy where you are now. It’s going to go by fast, my four years of high school disappeared seemingly overnight…

Thanks for the reference to ‘ThinMatrix’ Im up to tutorial 23~ and i have achieved a infinite 3D world using simplex noise for terrain height and lighting is now working fully (No shadows yet heard there a nightmare)

Why didn’t you attend college?

Trying to figure out screen-space reflections

haven’t tried…some pixel art tool: http://www.aseprite.org/

Are you using hierarchical stepping? How are you handling situations with no information? How are you detecting this?

I tried it out before, but had problems with getting it accurate enough. I didn’t use a hierarchical approach though, which limited the search distance quite a bit.

The progress at the end of day for LD34.

Did all the art and the music on the first day.

I have no idea what method I’m using. I just tried making ssr from logically thinking it out

1. I calculate a view-space position from the current position at the depth buffer.
2. I loop through n amount of samples
3. I step along a ray (in view space), and at each step I convert back into screenspace and sample depth
4. I do a binary search to make sure depth information wasn’t missed
5. Calculate some fading and output color

I don’t have any fallbacks yet, and there’s a huge problem with the range-check

I just got home from a couple of days camping at the beach.
It was really great. A bit sunburnt, salty, and sandy but fun nonetheless.
I probably won’t have time to do Ludum Dare because I was there but it worth it.

Took a photo from a bay nearby to where I was staying at dusk.

EDIT: I also encountered an endangered animal in the bush in the middle of the night, which was cool.

1 year with the girlfriend! It’s been a great year, I can’t imagine being more happy.
