Wrote up some primitive input methods and a login 'random'. If you're unfamiliar with rs bot terminology, there are these locations known as randoms which the player would be abducted to at random times and made to complete a challenge which was purposely made difficult for a bot. These 'random' scripts had a method which was called periodically (every few seconds) in an attempt to detect this random. A login script was usually also made a random due to its similar nature, somewhat.



Yeah, I should probably make it move the mouse instead of teleporting it sometime soon.

Today I get an email from a guy who bought my 3D live wallpaper and asked me why I hadn't been updating it for a while now and since I didn't have a good answer and already promised an update a month ago I worked on a new version the whole day today. I haven't been this focused and motivated in a long time! :D
The feature I added was actually really simple: Letting the wallpaper slide left and right when you switch between homescreens, but because I was an idiot and the whole app is a terrible mess (code-wise) I spent most of today breaking my brain with crazy math.

But in the end I got everything working better than I expected

Since there is no such thing as a preprocessor in Java I'm now thinking about how to make a trial version from the same code base and maybe even completely automate it so I can get a paid and free publishable version with one (double) click.

The terrain outside of the lighted area was a dark blue before recording.. meh

I plan on having worlds wrap around later so you can walk all the way around the world.. not sure how that's going to work though

Got saving and loading working.

You will see.

Not many people like being drawn on though.

You guys making an issue of it isn't exactly helping either though. Lets talk about something else like...

Have any of you attempted a component based design for entities/items/etc in your games/projects? If so, how'd you like it?

I ask because I'm going to try and implement component based design for my stuff for the first time, and haven't read a lot about it.

i love working with component based entities ... far cleaner and more intuitive than using inheritance

for example, i have a couple of components called GameRenderable, GamePhysical, and GameTransformable ... you could easily guess their functionality

now, a regular prop (like a box) uses the same components as a constraint (like a spring) - even though they have completely different functionality, they both render a sprite, they both allow the user to click on them, and they both have a concept of position/rotation, etc.

this leads to very strong separation of responsibilities and very clean code - when i write code for a spring, i'm writing code for a spring, not a completely new entity derived from a long chain

[icantread49]

my only suggestion is, don't get too caught up in complicated "messaging systems"

make strong use of PIMPL, keep your header files clean, and just include whatever component you need to interact with:

#include "GameTransformable.h" // a minimal header file with no private variables or anything

GameTransformable* trans = Parent()->Get<GameTransformable>();
trans->Position.x += 5; // etc.

I have an entity/component based design in my framework, and I have to say, I quite like it. It took some time to get used to it, but now I don't want to go back.

You can take a look at my code at http://code.google.com/p/protozed/, although I wouldn't brag about my implementation.

Thanks! This is what I was hoping it was going to be like. Finally I can make clean reusable code, as well as adhere to my love for minimalism! Hopefully the lack of having to rewrite the same thing will increase productivity as well.

That's the article that got me into this path.

I recommend this series of articles: http://t-machine.org/index.php/2007/...opment-part-1/. I think they thought me the most out of any articles I've found about the subject.
This site has some more examples also: http://entity-systems.wikidot.com/

Wheee, made the highlights :D
Been away from the project for a few days because of coursework and whatnot, but I'm taking the night off to work on this again. Procedures are truly first-class now (albeit always passed by reference) - fiddled with the parser a bit too, you can call them from arrays now too:

I haven't been in the highlights for months :(

I've done worse things than my lighting simulator or Mars Miner that made the highlights

You should remove mine from highlights, that has nothing to do with programming at all..

Just about to start on my component implementation, but I needed to touch up my quad tree so I wouldn't have to go back to it later on (hopefully).



Was very annoyed that XNA didn't have a float Rectangle which made the quad tree display a little weird due to rounding issues with normal rectangles, so I made my own and It's looking a lot better IMHO. All entities aside from the face aren't being drawn (that's why the quad tree has other nodes, but nothing there)

Parameters:
id - Kongregate Game ID. Find it with Firebug or Chrome's equivalent. Example:

type - 0 is Weekly, 1 is All Time, and 2 is Today, leave blank for weekly.

Return values:
no_scores - No high scores for the selected time period
no_gameid_supplied - Self explanatory
If all goes well, you'll get a newline (\n) separated list of values in the format "username;score"

It's not always as simple.
Have you tried implementing parenting in a component based system?
For example, one shape might have the MouseInteraction component but it's parent doesn't, yet when the mouse goes over the shape, it's parent also intersects with the mouse because the shape is it's child. Unfortunately, the parent doesn't need the MouseInteraction component to do what it does but you have to add it anyway so it can tell you if child intersected.

It all turns into a giant clusterfuck very fast when you have to include a ton of components just because they must support everything their children support.

It's either that or having to deal with unintuitive functionality.

What exactly are quad trees used for?

Efficient collision checking.

They partition space very efficiently enabling you to remove a huge amount of objects from the list of candidates that might intersect.
Instead of checking every one with every one, you only need to check each one and it's neighbors.

uh what? no i have not run into that

what do you mean by parenting? and why are you doing it at the entity level? that defeats the purpose of using a component based design to begin with!
