Got a VFS set up, now it can load content from the quake PK3-- if it doesn't detect the file there then it checks physical files.

How does the software you use for your virtual machine matter in your programming?

Because one or the other might have better virtualization or debugging tools. It doesn't matter in my programming, but I need to choose one to write the OS.

You just said it doesn't matter, so why do you care?

It doesn't matter in the programming; because I can code for either one. But I don't know which has better debugging or support for types of IO

I prefer VirtualBox because you don't have to sign up for it/it's better supported in arch linux.
It also comes with more functions like state snapshots, which VMWare player you have to pay for.

[Map in a box]

Bochs might be useful if you want to debug, iirc

I guess I'll use VBox then. I don't use Bochs much/at all, so I don't have any experience with it. If I run into problems I'll try it.

wrote a full raycaster with refraction and photon mapping (it was in java though and pretty slow ;p didn't use oct trees and such)


raycaster are a lot simpler than scanline algorithms as you simple use the world space to cast rays. (no matrix manipulations which are sometimes hard to understand for someone without math background)

idea is simple:
set up the view space and the object list before the main loop

cast rays per pixel
check for collisions
if collision exists calculate color (phong shading for example)
if not max recursion cast new rays from that collision point in direction of reflection AND refraction (recursive here!)
and draw pixel on a frame
repeat

I separated the collision detection from color calculation because you can use the collision detector for photon mapping later.

so what you need is a line->polygon line->sphere collision detection
and a way to calculate the color (phong shading, phong reflection model)

but start with spheres, a lot simpler and faster, you can see results within minutes if you manage to set up the worldspace and collision detection (although there are so many resources on that topic, you shouldn't have trouble finding a suitable algorithm)

what you have to understand is color calculation is the same as with scanline algorithms you can use phong shading/reflection or flat shading as it works the same. the only difference is that you don't use matrix manipulation to project the 3d world on a screen, you simply use rays and find the first object they collide with and calculate the color from there.

Added "customizable" bullets.

Here's how the rocket looks:

Rocket = new VSOutlineProjectile
            {
                Name = "Rocket",
                Description = "Description",
                Image = Game.Data.Images["b-rocket.png"],
                Life = 170,
                DamageMultiplier = 10f,
                SpeedMultiplier = 0.3f
            };

            RocketShrapnel = new VSOutlineProjectile
            {
                Name = "Rocket Shrapnel",
                Description = "Description",
                Image = Game.Data.Images["b-rocketshrapnel.png"],
                Life = 28,
                DamageMultiplier = 1,
                SpeedMultiplier = 1
            };

            Rocket.OnDestroy += delegate(VSLBullet mBullet) 
            { 
                for(int i = 0; i < 24; i++)
                {
                    new VSLBullet(mBullet.Game, mBullet.Parent, mBullet.Body.Position, (360f / 24f)*i, RocketShrapnel.Clone(), 6500);
                }
            };

Is there some kind of top-secret WAYWO method for doing awesome 2D collision detection and platformer physics? Everyone else's seems so perfect whereas mine is just:
1) scroll through everything
2) check everything else
3) ????
4) profit (13fps)

Yes Layla, I know it's dumb. That's why I'm asking.

This makes it a ray tracer, not a ray caster.

Use a spatial partitioning algorithm

[Chris220]

If it's tile based just figure out which tile the player's on (player pos / tile size), then check the tiles in that area. The number you should check depends on how big your player is.

Wyzard posted:

oh yes sry I get those two confused ;p

wiki posted:

Ray casting is not a synonym for ray tracing, but can be thought of as an abridged, and significantly faster, version of the ray tracing algorithm. Both are image order algorithms used in computer graphics to render three dimensional scenes to two dimensional screens by following rays of light from the eye of the observer to a light source. Ray casting does not compute the new direction a ray of light might take after intersecting a surface on its way from the eye to the source of light. This eliminates the possibility of accurately rendering reflections, refractions, or the natural falloff of shadows; however all of these elements can be faked to a degree, by creative use of texture maps or other methods. The high speed of calculation made ray casting a handy rendering method in early real-time 3D video games.

That's what I'm doing too!
Well, I'm handpicking the world tiles to check stuff against, but other than that I don't do any of SupahVee's fancy spatial partitioning stuff because he's a bad coder.
