So I ported my GLSL helper thing to WPF and I'd appreciate it if someone could try it with Mono.
It has some stuff that I'm not sure if Mono supports.

So I'm working on my first opengl application, and I got this piece of code to choose a pixel format in windows.

	int pixAttribs[] = { WGL_SUPPORT_OPENGL_ARB, 1, // Must support OGL rendering
						 WGL_DRAW_TO_WINDOW_ARB, 1, // pf that can run a window
						 WGL_ACCELERATION_ARB,   1, // must be HW accelerated
						 WGL_COLOR_BITS_ARB,     24, // 8 bits of each R, G and B
						 WGL_DEPTH_BITS_ARB,     16, // 16 bits of depth precision for window
						 WGL_DOUBLE_BUFFER_ARB,	 GL_TRUE, // Double buffered context
						 WGL_SAMPLE_BUFFERS_ARB, GL_TRUE, // MSAA on
						 WGL_SAMPLES_ARB,        8, // 8x MSAA 
						 WGL_PIXEL_TYPE_ARB,      WGL_TYPE_RGBA_ARB, // pf should be RGBA type
						 0}; // NULL termination

	// Ask OpenGL to find the most relevant format matching our attribs
	// Only get one format back.
	wglChoosePixelFormatARB(g_hDC, &pixAttribs[0], NULL, 1, &nPixelFormat, (UINT*)&nPixCount);

However, that leaves me with an error that it cannot find a matching pixel format. However, if I remove the hardware accelerated option it finds a pixel format but nothing gets rendered at all. My graphics card supports Opengl 3.3, and the drivers are up to date. Any ideas? I'm very new to opengl so it might just be something really stupid.

Replace the 1 after WGL_ACCELERATION_ARB with WGL_FULL_ACCELERATION_ARB

Lack of an internet connection from my desktop PC for the last couple of days sort of brought my regular programming stuff to a halt and I had been admiring high's work on a Terraria map renderer a few pages back right before I lost connection, so today I decided to give one a shot as well.

Having never messed with anything related to 2D games (sprite sheets, etc.), it was quite fun to do!
Only things left to work out are tile "styles" (which is probably the biggest thing of the whole lot), better colours for the liquids and proper background transition points (it'll probably only work on a Small map at the moment).
It renders into 1200px x 1200px tiles currently, rather than a single large image.

Some earlier renderings: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/6938670/Terr...orld1_test.png http://dl.dropbox.com/u/6938670/Terr...rld1_test2.png http://dl.dropbox.com/u/6938670/Terr...rld1_test3.png
Rendering using the current code of the column around my house: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/6938670/Terr...rariaHouse.png (Warning, it's big.)

Does anyone know of a method to weigh nodes with 2-dimensional (or more general) coordinates so that their barycenter is a given point?

Mathematically



How does one determine the multipliers a(k)?

(Quite clearly there are an infinite amount of solutions except for perhaps some special cases - but just one will do for me)

Edited:

Or does anyone know anything about this problem? How hard is it? Can it be reduced to some other problem?

Edited:

Oh wait, I just realized that's actually a very simple problem. Nevermind then

I've never heard of this problem before, but aren't there an infinite number of solutions there?
As a heuristic, couldn't you give them all a weight of 1 initially, find S', then take the difference of S and S' to determine which way center of mass has to move? You could probably take the dot product of this difference vector and each v_k to determine a weight adjustment factor and repeat the process in an iterative fashion, with smaller adjustments each iteration.

That's actually the definition of a system of linear equations where v_k are the coefficients, a_k are the variables and S is the desired result. (Though in most formal math you would see k start from 1, but that's just nitpicking)

Edited:

And yes there are an infinite number of solutions if n exceeds the dimension of the space you are working in.

[ThePuska]

Beaten to it.

Edited:

It was much harder in my mind when I was thinking of all kinds of stuff like how you'd do some weird gradient shit with the nodes etc. and just writing the definition out made me realize how easy it was

Crossposting from WDYNHW:

So I'm still trying to convert BBcode to JSON, and still no further. My regex really sucks.

I'm trying to turn this:

This is some text.

[url=http://example.com]This is a URL[/url]

This is an image:

[img]http://lol.com/lol.png[/img]

That was an image. Here's a YouTube video:

[media]video-id-here[/media]

[b]This is some bold text.[/b]

Into this:

{
	"tags":[
		{
			"text":"This is some text.\n\n"
		},
		{
			"url":{
				"content":"This is a URL",
				"href":"http://example.com"
			}
		},
		{
			"text":"\n\nThis is an image:\n\n"
		},
		{
			"img":"http://lol.com/lol.png"
		},
		{
			"text":"\n\nThat was an image. Here's a YouTube video:\n\n"
		},
		{
			"youtube":"video-id-here"
		},
		{
			"text":"\n\n"
		},
		{
			"b":"This is some bold text."
		}

}

Any suggestions? Doing this in PHP, by the way, as part of vBulletin, so all it's functions are available for use.

Implemented a little neural network thingy during the last 2 hours.. using backpropagation for learning.
Results look promising already, will have to do some more testing when I find the time :D

// Generate network with 2 input neurons and 1 output neuron
final Network network = NetworkFactory.generateSigmoidNet( new int[] { 2, 4, 4, 1 } );

// Teach the network to act like a logic AND gate
System.out.println( "Pre test 0,1 -> 0 ");
network.setInputValues( new double[] { 0, 1 } );
network.dumpOutput();

System.out.println( "Pre test 1,1 -> 1 ");
network.setInputValues( new double[] { 1, 1 } );
network.dumpOutput();

final int steps = 1000;
for ( int i = 0; i < steps; i++ ) {

	final double learningRate = 1.0 - ( i / (double)steps );

	network.setInputValues( new double[] { 0, 1 } );
	network.learn( new double[] { 0 }, learningRate );

	network.setInputValues( new double[] { 1, 1 } );
	network.learn( new double[] { 1 }, learningRate );

	network.setInputValues( new double[] { 1, 0 } );
	network.learn( new double[] { 0 }, learningRate );

	network.setInputValues( new double[] { 0, 0 } );
	network.learn( new double[] { 0 }, learningRate );

}

System.out.println( "Post test 0,1 -> 0 ");
network.setInputValues( new double[] { 0, 1 } );
network.dumpOutput();

System.out.println( "Post test 1,1 -> 1 ");
network.setInputValues( new double[] { 1, 1 } );
network.dumpOutput();

Resulting in:

Pre test 0,1 -> 0 
Layer  3:	[0] = 0,84, 
Pre test 1,1 -> 1 
Layer  3:	[0] = 0,84, 

Post test 0,1 -> 0 
Layer  3:	[0] = 0,04, 
Post test 1,1 -> 1 
Layer  3:	[0] = 0,95,

C++ Primer Plus is awesome. I'm gonna try to make a little game where you explore a dungeon, but I can't decide on how to store the map: 2D arrays or just have several blocks. With several blocks I could enable destruction and generate random dungeons easily, while with 2D arrays I'm not sure. Should I go for 2D arrays or just instances?

Edit: And my idea is just like the game below. Damn.

[BlkDucky]

My roguelike still isn't dead. :buddy:

I don't even remember adding the Combustible Lemon enemy. Must have been post-Portal 2's release, though.

Anyway, added a lot of stuff I can't really show...

The "Unthreatened" text on the bottom right changes depending on the situation. For instance, if your character has taken a lot of damage it will change to "Wounded", or if he's dead it'll change to "Deceased". Added a ton of items and monsters, as well.

Another neat feature is that if you stay on a particular level for an extended period of time, the game will spawn a "motivator monster" which is almost impossible to kill, forcing the player to descend and therefore stops excessive grinding. There is forewarning, though, so it's not completely cheap. In this case the "Unthreatened" text changes to "Endangered."

Also, I'm aware I misspelled "combustible". Heh.
