What I did today

Seems like a pretty standard graphics pipeline :stuck_out_tongue:

Cool though, none the less. Most interesting thing is the mega textures; Only thing I cant figure out how to do efficiently.

Damn, their shadow mapping technique (they only update the parts of the shadow map that needs updating) sounds pretty complicated. I’ll stick to updating the entire shadow map every frame, thank you very much :slight_smile:

Coincidentally, I read a tutorial on CSM today. Planning to implement it, along with percentage closer soft shadows.

You’re one of the people who prefer to address me by my actual name :stuck_out_tongue: I’m not complaining, don’t get me wrong, though.

Also, yeah sure :slight_smile: Maybe one day…

Create Own encrypt language for fun XD
CuBBool
(reads with one ā€˜B’ – ā€œcuboolā€ or ā€œcubolā€ )
From: Cube and Bool
Because Cube Dot looks stupid ^^

Benefit – Smallest Char is 3 x 3 pixels :wink: (+1 offset between chars = 4 x 4)
For other languages can be used matrix 4 x 4 or even 5 x 5
5 x 5 – even enough for big portion of Unicodes

up: And yes, CuBit from Cube & Bit already in use :wink:
up2: swap numbers and small letter layouts - for better visual ^^

pp.s its not random dots
3 x 3 have 5 Data bits
Bits order: from Left to Right, from Top to bottom

123
45
so for char: 'ā€˜a’ (00000), 'ā€˜b’ (10000), 'ā€˜c’ (01000), ā€˜d’ (11000), ā€˜e’ (00100)

For numbers and letters I use alphabetic progression
Because numb & letters frequently used, with time(used) you remember them
But with remembering symbols can be problems
So i try sort them by ā€Visualā€.

up4:
someone may need ā€œspaceā€ char :wink:
Secret: extra ā€œSpaceā€ char:


#00
00#
0##

(move it to small letter layout in looks like arrow Right / Bottom)

HashTag ^^ #CuBBool

speaking of cubes: a functional language based causal game http://david-peter.de/cube-composer/

I finished that game… by playing the last few levels at random :persecutioncomplex:

Just like real functional programming, then. :stuck_out_tongue:

Cas :slight_smile:

functional

Oh that site is awesome! I could never get past the 2.3 Poseidon level. Maybe it’s because I’ve never found myself playing that game while sober.

Little bit of work on my online FPS today:

Bonded a rfm69 radio to bigger pin headers on a prototype board so i can test the radio without having to solder everything together just yet.
The non-testing version will have the wires soldered directly onto the board which is much easier to do than the assembly below.

The green circuit board is 1.6cm wide and long, fitting and soldering it was a real pain… and the worst thing is that i have to build another one of these just to test it, but i’m exited how it’ll work out.

Careful Ahmed. don’t go bringing that into school.

I doubt he regrets his decision

It’s actually going to be for a rc plane, you better keep your towers hidden 8)

Though, once everyone found out he was a fraud, he and his family moved to the dictatorship of Qatar. :persecutioncomplex:

I got depressed a bit.

Should display that at the Smithsonian’s David H. Koch Hall of Human Origins. Facts would be refreshing in a place where one learns that it is only a matter of time before we evolve more sweat glands in response to global warming.

well, I just lost all respect for the smithsonian :confused:

in other news, got my car title figured out and plan pn calling my insurance about transition. Not much on the gamedev front but lots of important real-life stuff takes precedence :slight_smile:

I did two things today;

  • Finished the levels for chapter four (of five) of my current game.
  • Came into a new realization of how much I hate level design and how bad I am at it.

I think the fact people still don’t believe this is insane , it’s obviously getting worse and population increase plays a huge role! Us java developers need to get into gear to make games that stop people from wanting to have more children so that we can save the environment!

I think more reliable way will be eliminate humanity ^^
(Like true programmers we must fix problem rather than hide bugs XD)
