It's funny, but I still don't know what you're making. Even after all this time.
As far as I can remember; through every single post you've made while I've been reading WAYWO, through all your locale pain/hard disk crashes/etc, you've never mentioned what any of your projects...actually are?

Eh, I'm trying to make a game, but I'm just so slow at it and I can't really find a concrete idea for it.

Doing a cyber securirty training camp, it's pretty fun.

Today, we made trojans with netcat, a binder, and cmd.exe. (Netcat is a program that creates a SSH-like session without authenication, using anything console based as it's payload)

Only problem is cmd.exe is a weak payload (can't transfer files) so I think I'm going to try and make my own payload that allows me to transfer stuff (which is more practical, although I suppose it's more practical to just embed a metasploit exploit in a webpage and just use that)

Cool who is doing that?

You could make a game where your objectives are given to you in a language you don't understand. You can either put in the time to learn the language just to read what they're saying, or go on a different side-objective to collect some sort of Rosetta stone to translate their dialogue into English or whatever the player's language is.

Try having some snowflakes that fall down the screen? That would set it off, I think.

Overv posted:

I don't understand what you mean. Are you wondering about what happens for objects that actually need to be bound for rendering?

No, I want to slightly automate texture management.

When a texture is bound the method looks for an unused texture unit and binds the texture to that instead of replacing the current binding on the active texture unit.

glBindTexture is supposedly relatively slow and this way I don't have to rebind textures when drawing because they stay bound to the same texture unit.

I'm not sure how practical this is on cards with fewer texture units (mine has around 160) or if it would be better to use a texture manager class instead.

If I wanted to render multiple of the same object in different positions with a VBO in OpenGL, would I just create a bunch of VBOs with different positions, or is there a better way to do it?

You can use the usual VBO for the mesh in object space, then put the transformation matrices in a uniform array or a buffer and draw with instancing, which gives you an index in the vertex shader for each instance of the object that is drawn.

Getting back into game dev, this should be fun.
Finally got my game to import maps from my map editor.
By finally I mean I started working on the map editor around 3 PM yesterday... it's 6:30 AM the next day now, should probably get some sleep :V.

I'm writing a patcher client to use in later projects but one concern I have is where should I store config files. And if I use an installer for my program can I delete the executable and replace it with another(in the case that an update for the binary is available).

Right now I have a config file in the same directory as the binary, it works but I can't help but think about professional applications that use the user folder for these things.

I finally figured out how to have multiple textures so I decided to make the light project textures!

[Chris220]

I was just looking through Minecraft's source code to see how it manages entity rendering and from what I can tell, it works something like this:
Each entity essentially has two classes; one for entity logic and one for entity rendering. The rendering class derives from a base 'render' class (although it's possible that this is a result of the decompiler, and the original code has the render class templated instead). There is also a 'RenderManager' class which maps entity classes to their respective renderers.
My question is, what reasons are there for splitting up the entity logic and rendering like this? If each entity has exactly one logic class and exactly one rendering class, doesn't that mean you could essentially just have the logic and rendering for each entity in one single class?

And please, try not to answer just with something like 'notch is a shit coder' or whatever, I am interested in the upsides of doing something like this.

Edited:

Actually, I just thought of one; you only need one instance of a render class to render all entities of that type, rather than having multiple instances, one for each copy of each entity.

Okay, gonna make my first post here.

I wanted to learn the use of for loops in javascript and this is what I got after a few days.
Pretty simple but it was fun to make and I learned a lot of new stuff.

And here is my ball game I've been working on. I kinda stopped working on this because I haven't got the inspiration in a long time.

My latest addition is the main menu which is pretty good I think.

Heh, they are pretty messy. It's like handing my dirty underwear to someone.

But, here is the minecraft terrain generator.
https://dl.dropbox.com/u/3975474/perlin.js

Just drop it under an empty gameobject. It will probably give errors because it can't find gameobject called "Cam" but i'm not sure if it stops it from working. If it does, you gotta edit the script a little bit.
You'll also need to define a few gameobjects. The ocean mesh is just a plane and the Block is a 1x6x1 cube.

Actually there's one reason I can think of. If you want two entities to share rendering code without sharing other logic code, it can be a good way to decouple it. It's also a good general approach since it's a step towards component based entities.
