What I did today

Today, I had an epiphany that I haven’t worked on a Java game properly for 3 months! Time to get back to work.

Cheers,

Kev

Good grief Kev! Get to work!

Holy medals batman. :o

also been a while since I posted in this (or was it the other one?) I guess I’ll jump in… was playing with scaling yesterday for fun. Mostly I just wanted to see what my game could look like at different scaling factors. :stuck_out_tongue:

(Bonus cool tidbit, even with scaling disabled, rendering 32,400 tiles and all their lighting/shadows: 60FPS!)

First one: 3x/Original game scaling
Second: 2x
Third: no scaling.

Inspired by “Teaching Java Game Programming to Children” thread, I’m messing around with a simple game engine. What do you think?

#145

Yay, got a new release of Jumproom done! Started thinking about my next rogue like and got a few more tweaks on https://nitpika.com completed.

Seriously productive for me of recent :slight_smile:

Cheers,

Kev

A bit like the way it’s done in lwjgl eh:


public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {
    Display.create();
    // Insert game here
}

Best. Game. Ever. :slight_smile:

#148

Did a few pixel art characters at lunch time:

Cheers,

Kev

#149

Yeah, that’s what I was aiming for. Simple, easy, frame creation.

#150

Animating.

#151

Great job! That game is turning out to look really cool. Any ideas on what the mechanics will be?

#152

Messing around with Box2D. It’s going well.

EDIT: Is it me, or is there a white path behind the bouncing boxes?

#153

Got max. possible grade for that exam (15 credits) :slight_smile:

#154

I had my first day of Intro to Computing 101 in college (required credit), and I learned the difference between Hardware and Software… and they even explained what an Input Devices are!

Next up… we learn about the internal components inside our desktops! wooo!! ::slight_smile:

#155

I am now rendering finite hyperplanes, if that makes sense.

Results of photoshop and no motivation to do anything actually productive. :stuck_out_tongue:

So this is what I have to look forward to in college? Oh boy.

On topic, I messed around with logic gates and stuff. I was bored so I basically made a 16 bit adder, wrapped up in an integrated circuit (part of the program I use).

On the top is an encoder and decoder as well as the broken down 4 bit adder.
Bottom left is the full 16 bit adder and mid right is an 8 bit adder. I wrapped two 4 bit adders, that made an 8 bit, then wrapped 2 of those making a 16 bit. Who knows, maybe when I’m even more bored I’ll try and label all of a 64 bit adder/subtracter to make a 64 bit ALU.

This started after me following a tutorial to make a computer in the game Minecraft. I added in some functions of my own too, like multiplication and division:

The subtraction units are on top of the ALU, and the rest of the mathematical operations are beneath. 4 bit computer, 2 bits of RAM.

Are you working on mini maps again?

#159

Got some water implemented into my 3d world.

The water is animated in a sinusoidal wave. You can change the resolution of the water, as well as the wave height. Maybe I’ll post an update soon :wink:
I first want to experiment with animated noise on the waves to give it a bit more depth.

Edit: This picture sucks at showing off the water. I might just make a video to provide it justice. :slight_smile:

Ran 5 kilometers. Never ran so long in my life. :slight_smile:
