I've been working on it steadily for a few months. Check some of the earlier blog posts from where I linked...the beginning of the blog is pretty much the beginning of development, so you can see it in its most primitive state (except for the first 2 weeks or so of development). So far the 'hardest' part has been figuring out what I want to do with layers, believe of it or not. It sounds like a fairly simple aspect to development but getting something simple enough to make level design quick yet flexible enough to allow for arbitrary layering has been difficult.

Most of what I work on is infrastructure so there aren't any screenshots, but lately I've been working on an os x app to simulate a lovely washed out projector, so when you're working on a presentation you're not surprised no one can read your slides

When you say layers, are you talking visual layers or logical ones? (Like heights, etc.) When I peeled apart the Chrono Trigger ROM, I discovered that they had done something pretty clever with their layers. The player could walk on only 2 different height layers, A and B. If you were in layer A, layer B was solid, and vice versa. There were a number of different ways to transition the player between them, but the most obvious one was ramps that would just toggle which layer the player was on. So going up a complex mountainside was just switching the player back and forth between the A and B layers. It looks like a complex series of different heights visually, but it's all modeled as a single back and forth boolean switch. Pretty neat!

fcbarros posted:Wow, nice indeed, I am thinking about implementing shadows on my Gravity simulator to see if it will do eclipse right. Grats!! Thanks! And good luck, it's crazy how many things you need to consider to properly calculate solar eclipses because of how exact the calculations need to be: - The ellipsoid shape of the earth - Speeding and slowing of the solar day relative to the sidereal day depending on the season - Changing speed of the Earth depending on its distance from the sun - Changing day length due to transfer of energy from the Earth to the Moon due to tidal forces - Changing angular momentum of the Earth due to the raising of arctic lands after the ice age - Varying lunar diameter due to libration Each of those factors are big enough that if you don't consider them, the position of the shadow might be off by several kilometers  But at least I learned quite a bit about practical astronomy.

Another screenshot Monday, since I was stupid busy this weekend: The firehouse in Jones is no longer pink! Yay! Anywho, the functional elements are in place along with some of the deco. Next up, I need to add a bit more deco, and then pepper the thing with animated cats. So freaking many cats. Once that's done, I'll be able to finalize the end of level celebration, and... the game will be, like, basically done and stuff. (that screen in the door actually pops out as the fire door opens... and there's no fire doors in the scene because the screenshot was taken in edit mode) EDIT: VV I can feel some International Talk Like A Pirate-day themed content coming on...

I'm not sure this counts as a screenshot, but I'm pretty proud of it so what they hey. http://www.fxguide.com/fxguidetv/fxguidetv-165-scott-metzger-on-mari-and-hdr/ This is a video showing off some spherical HDR projection tools I helped put together last year. The whole video is worth watching but the fun stuff starts about 10:00. Fun stuff.

Inspired by http://maximecb.github.com/Turing-Drawings/, I built a similar program. The one I built allows for multiple randomly generated Turing machines to compete for the image space, as well as being more easily manipulated in general.  The image shown, as well as my avatar, are a good example of two machines competing for the display. code:It could be more efficient, but I'm lazy.

I've spent the last week or so working on an 'entity control' system for my game which lets me write scripts to interpolate various properties in parallel/sequence with arbitrary values and different interpolation curves. Annotated video here, showing 12 progressively more complex situations. All scenarios were written directly in the level editor. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zTW1k_iFG00 Blog post here. For anyone that's interested in code, I've dumped all the Lua scripts that control each of the balls at the end of the post.

I got tired of iPad choking in the gif-heavy PYF threads, so I made a bookmarklet that shows only one post at a time, with buttons for showing the previous and next posts. (Also I wanted to play with js minification  ) Works a lot better, gifs animate a lot more smoothly. If you want it, it's here: http://wheany.com/SA/singlify.html The source code is 2.37KB, but as a minified javascript-url, it's 773 bytes.

At some point they decided the best course of action would be to trace over the assets and call it Graal. Edit: Huh... I still have a screenshot laying around of the original version.
