It took me about 3 hours, but I was finally able to successfully UV unwrap a cube in Blender, make a texture, and get it into my engine.

I also implemented an FPS camera this week, and that was a lot of fun.

Sure if you want a bunch of PPU code that doesn't work! I wrote the 6502 core for an Apple I emulator that I wrote that does work but I never finished adapting it for NES emulation.

The PPU is surprisingly easy to build once you understand how name tables, pattern tables and such work. Sampling for the APU? Bit trickier in my opinion.

I just started working on something every programmer ought to once in their life: a tetris clone. Yeah, I know. The difference is this one is being done in Haskell.

I gotta say, it is quite a mind bending exercise.

Oh, and, pieces can only rotate for now, still a ways to go. v :shobon:

Unfortunately that's probably not going to happen. The fluid-like movement is faked, so it would be hard to have something external affect it.

Slow motion on explosions is cool, you should implement it.

I was kind of joking, but also not really joking.

Presentation is important, and a slight bit of slowdown at key places can help make things feel like they hit harder. Zelda has done this for a long time and modern bullet hell games use synthetic slowdown as a kind of balancing measure when there's a lot of stuff on the screen.

Think of it like screen shake, but for your game timer. Too much would be obnoxious, of course, but it always felt weird to me when I was running Lemmings on modern hardware that I could explode a zillion of them without the game slowing down. Having the game slow down when there were lots of explosions felt more like stuff really was being wrecked.

Fooling around with octrees. Those green cubes were supposed to be inside those red cubes.

I eventually figured it out, but pictures where stuff goes right are inherently boring since my project is boring.

I'm creating a toy interpreter for a language that I've created on a whim. I'm going to use it to create IF games with, because I have issues with most types of IF languages.

What I have isn't that exciting, but at least the interpreter part is working. Or at least the interpretation of the two most basic line types.

That's from this result of code:

code:

Type R
R::foo is number
R::foo is 6

R someObject
someObject::foo is 9

I've been spending ages trying to get uniform performace on different machines, I never thought of adding artificial slow-mo. Although where it is now I could just leave that to the code/cpu botlleneck that happens when too many bits are flying around.

Creating your own language is no small feat, and the syntax is very readable so far. I wouldn't mind hearing what your goals are for this engine. Interactive Fiction is the best.

The initial goal was to make it so that the language is easy to read and easy to write. The Inform language, I believe, is easy to read, but a killer to write - plus it relies too much on English syntax.

The goal for my language is to introduce a new syntax that makes it easier for anyone to write code, the language is object oriented and static typing to help with mental models.

The engine itself is event-based, so that'll allow a lot of customizability. For instance, if you want to make it so that you have a hook in a room, you can make it so that you can hang your clothing off the hook, or take it off of the wall and use it as a weapon. It's all up to the programmer.

Spent 2 days modifying my first person camera into a third person camera. My little cheese wedge was doing an all-around poor job of both moving in the direction the camera is facing and also facing that direction itself. Finally sorted it out, though.

Also finished, but not pictured, I have sphere/plane collision working properly so my little cheese wedge can march itself up and down inclines and fall off the edge of the world. The code is spaghetti right now, but I think I can give everything a good refactoring now that I know what's what.

I'm also still brute force testing my collision instead of using my octree implementation because it was impossible to untangle what was an octree bug versus what was an actual collision bug when I was trying to hammer out my actual collision code. So I need to turn that back on and integrate it with the collision system.

I'm almost ready to make a very rudimentary thing with it.

This is a stupid simple utility that I'm now really glad to have. I call it "catpicture" and it's a tool to cat pictures to the command line. I spend a lot of time SSH-ed into remote machines doing ML or image processing, and I hate having to pull down a picture just to see if it's garbage. This tool will take (either via stdin or the args) an image and dump a rescaled version to the terminal using ANSI colors.

It also has support for cropping a region, outputting a different size, or using true color. I'm going to eventually add some basic edge detection so it looks higher resolution and a feature to allow just the background to be filled (so you don't get the artifacts from '#').

You can also call it with just raw data and it will do its best. Need to add aspect ratio check.

Can't you set the bg color instead and just print spaces so you get blocks of color rather than '#'?

You should probably have a neural network that chooses the (glyph, fgcolor, bgcolor) combo that will be perceived as most similar to the source image. With unicode you can probably really out-do aalib.

That's precisely my plan. In v1 (done this evening) I just wanted to get image reading and console wiring working. I'm new to Rust, so it is still a bit of an up hill battle. V2 I'll do some simple edge detection and add the option to show just the background. V3 I'll get fancy.
