StickGuy posted:It artificially breaks up the image into different regions that may or may not correspond with actual regions in the data. There are also some issues with the perceived transitions between the colors not all being the same. This is actually really good to know. I hadn't thought of that before, and now that I have read, it seems painfully obvious why it is bad. Good stuff.

SuperFurryAnimal posted:I've spent the last three weeks working on an entry for the XNA Dream Build competition. Who would have thought that building a game on your own in three weeks was difficult? Anyway, here's the result: This is really cool. I am curious, how much work did you have to do in terms of the graphics? For instance, the fire work effects and explosions - was that a particle effect completely created by you, or does XNA have some bases to work off of? Good job, regardless!

Warder posted:eenmachine gave me some good info on iPhone programing, and I've almost finished my first game. It's just a simple sliding numbers puzzle, but the tiles wrap around the board. I don't mean to come off as knocking your work, because it looks like you've done a good job from your screenshots. But, doesn't having the tiles wrap make the game almost trivially easy?

Avenging Dentist posted:You can use the separating axis theorem to detect collision between any two convex polygons. Basically, any two convex shapes are non-intersecting if and only if there is a line that can be drawn between them without intersecting either shape. For convex polygons, this can be simplified: the line must be parallel to one of the edges. http://www.metanetsoftware.com/technique/tutorialA.html That little flash game "N" that people used to play has done tutorials using just this. It's fun, since they have interactive demos for what is occurring.

Kennedy posted:Hmm, loads of work lately; Those are both really cool. Is the AI video from the perspective of your bot vs valve bots? Or is it you versus your bots? I assume by the last comment in the video that you are the player and the bot is what you are shooting at, who is not doing anything, but I wanted to be sure.

Stumpy, I just want to say that your shader editor looks really cool. It's always interesting to see these types of editors to create code.

It looks like you just left them with their default color (which matches the default background color). This is common.

gwar3k1 posted:Do you implement a hidden machine/installation specific salt of any kind? I've been thinking how you could further encrypt a simple site+commonpw to prevent someone using the same app engineering your common password from a known website password which would give them free access to any other site. I decided that installation time/date created could be used in settings, something the user can forget about but present as a variable so they can modify it if they wanted to - you could then port the desktop program to a mobile app, use the same date/time in the settings to produce the same hashed strings as the desktop version. The general process for encryption is "don't do it yourself" as the common, or even uncommon things, people think of have already been entertained by the brains behind the libraries that actually make it to the wild, as well as that most things people come up with don't actually offer more security (often they actually lower it). For educational or personal purposes, of course, try anything and everything you want. But you don't want the burden of trying to release something to the public and justifying why your encryption is somehow better than PhDs, etc.

Switch out the multiple combo boxes for an actual calendar widget. Makes date selection a lot simpler. May not matter to you if you're just testing out ajax, though.

Where are all of the light sources for this picture. The obvious 'sun' in the top right, but the shadows feel wrong if that's the only source.

HappyHippo posted:Crosspost from the game thread: here's a browser based game in the style of Scorched Earth I'm working on using javascript/html5. It seems to work best in chrome. Any comments or suggestions are welcome! This is really cool so far. I like the controls, although it'd be nice if the angle and power settings were remembered between turns instead of going direct into mouse control. Seconding the multiplayer suggestion as a priority, even before more weapons and defenses. This is just so cool.

If you're curious about other approaches, OSG with osgEarth does this as well, with (if I recall) XML configuration files to point at many different sources of map data.

SlightlyMadman posted:Got Players and board set-up working last night. The game is almost ready to start playing! You may be passed the voronoi point, but in case you are still tooling around: d3.js is an excellent visualization toolkit, and they have voronoi tesselation as one of their default things. d3.js and an example. Also, d3.js is just fun as hell to use.

SlightlyMadman posted:Interesting, if I wasn't already pretty much done with the rendering code I'd look into that, but I'm pretty happy with what I've got. I'm using a library I linked above to build the diagram, which is based on the exact same algorithm as d3's, so it probably wouldn't be much different. It's nice that d3 does the rendering for you, but I'm doing a lot of custom stuff there anyways, and d3 seems to be built around SVG whereas I'm doing canvas drawing. I'm definitely going to hold onto that link to look into in the future though. I actually do a lot of data visualization in my day job and it would probably come in handy for some of that. d3 does the layout in a fashion. You're more dealing with the "how" to display it visually. Which brings the point of svg vs canvas. d3 actually just operates on DOM. You can use whatever you want. Ya, my day job tends to revolve around visualization as well, and coming from java (prefuse ugh) and .net libraries into d3.js was an eye opening moment of just how over the top and burdensome other libraries are. I seriously have fun using d3.js just because of how to the point and powerful it is. Luminous fucked around with this message at 16:56 on May 2, 2013 |

lord funk posted:Kind of. The actual inspiration comes from NI Absynth, which has three individual chicklets for each degree of control. From a usability perspective (and, in my opinion, an intuitive one), I think you have it correct. You're providing finer degrees of control which means providing a mechanism for which the user can easily pick out finer granularity. Reversing it would make it just a more visual spinner control.
