What I did today

looks like a Wiggles map. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diggles:_The_Myth_of_Fenris)

#442

That is a really nice work Kev

#443

Got back to programming and started looking what kind of style I’m going with this project.

Probably going this way :slight_smile:

#444

Nice effect! :slight_smile: What shader are you using for it?

#445

I’m actually not using a shader for it, I render the scene to a scaled down fbo. It’s a pretty cheap effect. :stuck_out_tongue:

#446

Needs a healthy dose of 64x antialiasing.

#447

I like the pixels :slight_smile:

Cas :slight_smile:

Few hours ago I started learning Haxe ( http://haxe.org/ ).

I was programming a web game client in JavaScript, but quickly discovered that except very simple cases this is really bad idea, so I switched to another language which compiles to JS, but have Java-like packages and classes structure.

(don’t worry, servers are written in Java ;))

#449

learned about drawbuffer blending and rewritten a grid shader

854×353 109 KB

#450

Found this for 2.99$ CAD, with the license and key all the install disks, 1-5.

#451

Went round the whole pseudo voxel thing again, still not getting a good vibe on it. Always fun though:

I think it just gets in the way of your great pixel art style, Kev.

Cas :slight_smile:

#453

Playing around some more:

Still not happy.

Cheers,

Rounding out the 45deg edges may improve the lot :slight_smile:

#455

Still playing, probably shouldn’t, but not quite sure what you mean. What I need is a proper isometric renderer I guess.

you’re right. switching to isometric could open a box of

that 2D with 2.5D shadows look looks better imo …

#457

Another test, this feels better at least:

Interesting fun though :slight_smile:

Today I got a RaspberryPI, and it was awesome.
Then I spent 9 hours in a row playing around with it,
or in other words:

“Oh my gawd, SO MUCH FUN with this cute tiny box!”

I also wrote myself a new Wavefront OBJ file loader. Which you can look at [url=https://github.com/Longor1996/OBJLoader]here[/url].

Have a nice day!

I’ve kinda wanted an RPi just to mess around with it, or better yet one of these: https://developer.nvidia.com/jetson-tk1
~160 GFLOPS on a 5W board. Super nifty. Problem is, I don’t have a actual project that I would need it for :frowning:

Maybe it could be your take around computer or a second computer to store stuff in. Plus that python would be nice for web scripting.
