My website is pretty functional now :slight_smile:

Why is it so hard to send out invoices sometimes? Youā€™d think a person would be impatient to get the ball rolling for the income to show up. Got my bill sent to UCSF today for an ongoing part-time contract. I had finished a stage of the Shepard Chord improvements yesterday, but was trying to use discipline to not post until my ā€œday jobā€ work was invoiced.

So, now up: the Shepard Chord program can glissando ā€œforeverā€ either up or down. I also posted a version of the InputStream I wrote for saving these sounds as wavs for use in games.

Coming up next, an API for use of the jar as a library. Have to set up and test that sort of use first, though. Am open also to requests to modify things for specific game sf/xā€™s.

#3583

Wahoo!
First time Iā€™ve written a shadowmapper on my own :slight_smile:

#3584

To simplify the supply chain I gave the village clothesmakers magical balls of wool and bundles of fur that never run out. Vangardians can now buy apparel in the markets!

The next step is to make them NEED new clothes, so I will have to add code for clothes to get torn and damaged.

In other news I am coding at a desk today with a proper keyboard and 1080p monitor. Finally got my work from home setup sorted out :slight_smile:

Working on dynamic lighting support for my engine, seems to be coming along well:

That looks pretty cool! do the different colors blend?

My new game lets you down easily if you (accidentally, of course) shoot the wrong guy

@Archive: They donā€™t just yet, but Iā€™ll work on that. I still have to get my head around AlphaComposites.

Feel like Iā€™ve been saturating this thread lately, but Iā€™ve made a bit more progress on my game engine (soon Iā€™ll post a WIP, once Iā€™ve begun creating a game with it):
Vehicle support.
Yeah, you can jump into a fully physically simulated vehicle thanks to Box2D and cause carnage to your heartā€™s content. Actually took a fair bit more work than I thought it would, but itā€™s working decently. Thereā€™s steering and turning but no braking just yet - the car does stop if you donā€™t accelerate it, and it will stop if you leave it.
For this to work I had to actually implement something i was putting off for a while and that was ā€˜interactionā€™ with the game world, being able to ā€˜useā€™ objects. You can now ā€˜useā€™ lights to toggle them on and off and itā€™s also the only way you can enter or exit a vehicle right now except through the console.

I wrote an implementation of ArrayList in JavaScript.

#3594

Oooh, so many bugs :point:


var internalArray = [];

var ArrayList = {
	add : function(o) {
		internalArray.push(o);
	},
	get : function(i) {
		return internalArray[i];
	},
	isEmpty : function() {
		if (internalArray.length == 0) {
			return true;
		} else {
			return false;
		}
	},
	size : function() {
		return internalArray.length;
	},
	clear : function() {
		for (var i = 0; i < internalArray.length; i++) {
			internalArray[i] = null;
		}
+		internalArray.length = 0;
	},
	contains : function(o) {
		for (var i = 0; i < internalArray.length; i++) {
			if (internalArray[i] == o) {
				return true;
			} else {
-				return false;
			}
		}
+		return false;
	},
	remove : function(i) {
-		internalArray[i] = null;
+		internalArray.splice(i, 1);
	},
	set : function(i, o) {
		internalArray[i] = o;
	},
	clone: function() {
		var arr = internalArray.splice(0);
		return arr;
	}
};

Thanks, as you can probably tell, JavaScript isnā€™t my first language.

#3596

It doesnā€™t matter really, write unit-tests to validate your assumptions :point:

#3597

Today i decided to go back to posting on JGO, iā€™ve been lurking too much :-X
Also, i decided to revive my old rpg project, spam the spacebar, but right now i will just call it rpg project xd
Oh and @DarkCart , i love javascript! Iā€™ve recently integrated it into my engine for scripting, it super useful :slight_smile:

#3598

Ooops, my fault. Thanks for pointing that out.

#3599

I pointed it out in my earlier reply. (not that I insist to get the credit, butā€¦ wasnā€™t my diff clear? :persecutioncomplex:)

#3600

Started highlight outlines on the hair, finished the basic face, now I have to finish highlights on the hair and face, and then perfect contrast thingies.
