That version of it uses geometry shaders to generate the quads, I'm going to switch over to a much faster instancing method when I get that down
So today I learned that AMD GPUs are terrible at geometry shaders, I assume thats why its heating up

Nothing to do with AMD GPUs being terribly at anything at all. Don't blame the card if you don't limit the frame rate on simple processes.

What GPU do you use, I get 30 FPS when it has emitted all particles on my shitty 8800

but what are you doing that would cause that

[Tobba]

I have absolutely no idea

I shoved it into virustotal and Avast picks up Win32:Downloader-FXC, no idea why though
Whenever I do a debug build McAfee triggers on it instead

Also I fixed it (for real), I had a linker option wrong so I was accidently linking against a debug built library

Atleast I learned something today, linking a release-built program with staticly linked runtimes against a debug built library with dynamicly linked runtimes causes false-positives

In other news, I stopped drinking coffee, then tried to add doors and triggers to my game. Apparently I can't code without coffee.

1. Open Paint
2. Pick a random color
3. Use fill
4. Save
5. Profit
6. Explosions
7. Cake

Add monsters as well. And weapons. And attacks. Maybe random generated skills or customizable ones?


I have to throw in some emergency content here. Lets see if I can get something to work.

Babby's first hermite interpolation.

I have a compiled version as a download. There is a bug I need to fix but for now this should work if you want to toy around with it.

[Dlaor-guy]

Writing a soft body physics thingy with Verlet integration, which makes everything surprisingly easy. Also notice the fancy cursor. (it's jittery because the app actually runs at like 3 FPS because Processing is a sluggish fucker)

I can almost make a Gish clone now.

A 3 fps gish clone

If you comment the saveFrame() line it goes to 30 FPS by the way.

Anyone feel like testing this for me? (I already had FPP test it but fuck it)
Expected output:


Its framerate dependant at the moment so it might go rediclously fast if vsync is off

Ran fine although really fast, put one of my 560ti up to 80% usage, didn't touch the second card.

Tobba posted:

According to some other stuff, geometry instancing is for when you pretty much need 2000 instances of something

This is probably one of the only good ways I can see of using it
I guess the logic is in that it has to run 1M draw calls, but its still mostly about bad implementation in the driver most likely

Also can anyone tell me how hard this violates their GPU
https://dl.dropbox.com/u/4838268/particles.zip

As Jawalt said, I think the overhead of instancing is way too high for batches with a low amount of polys.

Kind of crossposting from the Electrical Engineering thread, but not quite - I've built a little LED matrix display, so it's now hooked up to my raspberry pi and displaying a scrolling clock.

Fun fact: the font is actually the Windows command prompt 5x3 font... I cropped a screenshot of the ascii table straight from the console, saved it as a TGA, and wrote a C++ utility to load the image and output the font as a python script so the RPi can display it. All in the name of timekeeping

Oh, and here's the matrix (before I soldered on the control pins):

So yeah, this has been fun. Not sure what I should do with it next.

First time doing networking;

[SupahVee]

I made a C# code generator, that brings something like C++ templates to the .NET world.
It automatically generates and adds to your project classes/methods where a token literally gets replaced with a list of type names.

Polish/expand it a bit and whip it up as a VS extension. Profit off spoiled C# developers.

Working on my OS again, my Module Manager is pretty much complete for now.
I guess next I should start working on a VFS and filesystem drivers. :D

Most examples I have in my mind right now are related to game development and math, but I'm sure that this kind of automatic generation could be useful somewhere else. This is practically generics without any limitation.

I'm implementing multiple tokens right now - this could be useful to handle conversions:

public static class Utils
{
	static $3$1 Sum($3$1 a, $3$2 b) 
	{
		return new $3$1( ($1) b.X, ($1) b.Y );
	}
}

$3: vector_
$1: int
$2: float

public static class Utils
{
	static vector_int Sum(vector_int a, vector_float b) 
	{
		return new vector_int( (int) b.X, (int) b.Y );
	}
}

More progress on the UDK game I'm working on. Hope I'm not getting spammy.
