Intense CPU grinding via the gamedev.net article's method. It's pretty slow so the optimisations I have done are to A) only draw lights on the screen and B) Generate hulls of the shadow casting tiles ahead of time and use those instead.

Today I was bored so I took my game of life, tore it apart and made a maze generator out of it.


Takes the guy around 40 seconds to generate this^

The fun part is when you make it do crazy shit


It's actually still working on that one.

I can explain the algorythm if anyone would like.

This evening I wrote a 3D RPN-based grapher for fun.

It can do polynomials:

Some more trigonometry:



It uses GDI+ for rendering and I promise there's no else-ifs. Download here if you want to play with it: http://anyhub.net/file/24Zt-3dgraph.exe

In other OS related news:



I couldn't be bothered writing an ATA driver, so I made my OS switch between Real Mode and Protected Mode to use the BIOS interrupts for disk I/O. I'm pretty proud of the whole setup - it's able to flawlessly shift between real and protected as often as I like, while maintaining protected mode's state. I exposed this functionality through the real_exec() function, which takes a buffer of 16 bit real mode code and executes it.

Here's the code to ata_read():

I've been working on something for the past couple days and thought some of you might like it.
I basically coded a program that allows you to use steam chat from your phone via text messages. It uses Google Voice that acts as a relay to send the messages between your phone and steam chat.




I coded it in C++ with the boost, jsoncpp, curl, tinyxml, and Open Steamworks libraries, plus my own Google Voice library. This was my first time actually compiling and making my own libraries so learned a lot and I'm happy with the results. All you need is a Google Voice account (which is free) and a cell phone with text messaging.
Right now I have it reading the account info and the cell phone number you want to use it with from a simple text file. I'm still testing it and I plan on releasing it soon.

Honestly, no. The ratios mean absolutely nothing. All that matters is the exact amount of time something takes to do. As soon as you start thinking in ratios, you have pointless data. "It runs half as slow" requires you to know the base of what you're working off. And if you do want ratios, you can still do that if you output frame time instead. You will appreciate how shit using FPS to time stuff is once you are doing more than just a single task.

Anyway.



Working on some more of the GUI side of things. Also support queries now, as well as action text and a few other commands. God damn I'm really gonna end writing a full IRC client aren't I...

Just made it possible for all types of blocks (including lasers!) to attach to elevator blocks, which gives me a fuck ton of new level design possibilities :buddy:

Also, if you're quick, you can get on top of the flying laser thing by jumping on the platform you're supposed to hide under... I guess I should add some kind of collectibles (like the glowing orb things in VVVVVV) to the game to increase replayability.

Yeah the circle is the player, the blue line is a line from the player to the mouse. It's just that you can't see the mouse on the picture.
I need some way to rotate the player to where it's looking but I have no idea how.

If you rotate a circle, it still looks like a circle.

Well, I was actually gonna do it so that there was a small line from the middle of the circle to the shell of the circle, so you can see where it's pointing.

In radians:

Player.Rotation = Math.Atan2(Mouse.Y - Player.Y, Mouse.X - Player.X)

I just don't have a idea at where to start at a good class structure.

In radians:

Player.Rotation = Math.Atan2(Mouse.Y - Player.Y, Mouse.X - Player.X)

Okay, so I got this right now for my player class:

	public Entity(int x, int y, int width, int height, int health, int speed) {
		this.x = x;
		this.y = y;
		this.health = health;
		this.speed = speed;
		this.width = width;
		this.height = height;
		score = 0;
		rotation = (int) Math.atan2(MouseInfo.getPointerInfo().getLocation().y - y, MouseInfo.getPointerInfo().getLocation().x - x);
		up = false;
		down = false;
		left = false;
		right = false;
		collision = false;
	}

But, how would I actually let it rotate?

If you need help post in here. It helps to keep things more organised.

Started programming in C++ when I was 14, Im now 20 and am nearing the end of my second year of computer science at uni.

Learning independently was much more constructive. I know a lot about fancy technical stuff now thanks to uni, but most of my practical knowledge and skills come from self teaching.

that's nice. i'll put you on the cover of big whoop magazine.

honestly though, there's a difference between "highlights" and a "random selection of mildly interesting content from the last thread".

Sucks that you can't quote stuff in closed threads, anyways.

GCC's optimizer is fucking awful.

I compiled this code with no optimizations:

Even MSVC doesn't optimize out the array access. So you are comparing code that reads/writes to memory to code that uses only registers. Plus it has to do an extra modulus.

I responded to this in the What do you need help with thread.

I just got into highschool last year, so independent

[Robert64]

Independent at the moment, but hopefully studying CompSci next year.

[Jacko2007]

I'm a bit of both, I started independent, then I did Computing at A-Level (but learnt Delphi so it wasn't really that useful), and I've learnt other languages on my own. I'm planning on studying Software Engineering next year.

[Chandler]

Though I'm working towards a degree, a majority of my learning is on my own time. So independent?

[ZenX2]

Independent, just got into middle school.
