Post #3361
What I meant was, if I am using 3.1, I would probably want to go up to 3.3 functions too, so I would have to do all the getprocaddress-ing or alternative anyway. But that's just my opinion, I didn't mean to say that the header doesn't work.
I'm saying this from the perspective of using glew though. I don't even have to consider any of this stuff.

I just wanted to say that, regardless of easily being able to do iterative checks to see if functions exist.

A new star shader.
-
I really enjoy your shader work. Do you have intentional designs or visions for things, do you stumble on happy little accidents, or do you keep tweaking until you've got something you like? And how difficult is it for you?A new star shader.
-
Thanks. All of the above, actually. I know what I'm doing from the start, but I'll generally find a better way through experimentation. Nothing looks good without a ton of fine-tuning, though.
It's more like art than programming, and it comes pretty naturally for me.
-
Do you know some good tutorials on shader writing with more concrete examples?
-
Is it bad that I'm using "#define GL_GLEXT_PROTOTYPES" to get OpenGL extensions in Linux? I've never touched glfwGetProcAddress before, and (I think) I'm using plenty of OpenGL extensions.
Sorry if the question doesn't make any sense, I'm teaching myself OpenGL without reading books and only skimming over documentation. I barely know what I'm talking about.

What is the best way to procedural generate a fake population area? Perlin noise seems to always be too "narrow". I was hoping for large broad areas.
-
Use GLEW, it automatically getprocs everything and stores them in global function pointers with the right names.
-
Unit tests!
-
I would think you could simply upscale this, and have larger valleys be flatted in some sort of secondary pass to allow for further detail generation.
-
I never really understood unit testing, how are you able to test against every possible situation?Unit tests!
-
You test every function against every reasonable behaviour.
-
integration tests > unit tests
-
Just because you can't test every possible situation doesn't mean you should test none of them. I ended up catching a horrible recursion bug within my build system because I wrote a unit test for it. Without it, I would have been scratching my head.

Okay so I ended up doing this, I kinda had to because It was unplayable with the amount of data being sent over network. Works much better although had to fix some problems with the level going out of sync.
Also made client draw sprite trails for active grenades in the server
Also working on making the menus look better, taking inspiration from this http://dl.dropbox.com/u/9330046/thep...mockup_gif.gif

Still needs some tweaking, but it looks okay..

Crossposting from the game programming contest thread. I restarted my entry on Sunday, got sidetracked with the Lorenz Attractor and then made this in the space of 12 hours over 3 nights. I used the script from the lorenz attractor to make the eyes and glow on enemies flash with the rhythm of the music, its not very noticeable, but it looks cool at times.

My original game was a completely original run and jump game, but I scrapped it because it was shit and I needed a player.

The editor.
Not completely new or exciting, but it's just what I'm working on.
I have to have it done by Saturday because that's the release.
-
I guess I'll probably have to. I kinda avoided it when I was using OpenGL 2.1 because it was basically '1.X plus shaders' and I didn't use extensions, but I guess the extra dependency is unavoidable at this point.
If I were to write unit tests for the entire OpenGL core profile it would take me months and I wouldn't be able to do anything else.Unit tests!

Set up a virtual machine running Arch Linux. This is a whole new world to me, as I never used Linux before, or a virtual machine.
Also learning Python as I go, this is a lot of fun! My first real Python script sends emails using Gmail and SMTP
-
If that's Python, wouldn't it not work with semicolons? Or does Python not care if you leave them in anymore?Set up a virtual machine running Arch Linux. This is a whole new world to me, as I never used Linux before, or a virtual machine.

Still needs it, he just show things that doesn't show it (if for etc...).
-
Interesting, Python doesn't require semicolons but it doesn't care if you use them.

Could you please just try and make the tile selection thing snap to the tile you are mousing over instead of the actual mouse coordinates?
Just try it, it might look good.

Properties!
That's enough fun coding for today.. back to work!
-
Nah.. It's nice in a different way, but I like the other method more.
-
What I actually meant is snapping to the tile to the right but I don't think it would look much better.
Thanks for trying it.

Write a python script with mako templates to do the work for you!
I generated about 240 unit tests at work using T4 templates in .NET. Total time to write the template: 20 minutes

You two are perfect for each other.

Being really bored, I made a game of snake, but a one with portals. It's coded in one evening in C++ using SFML. I made the sounds with Bfxr.
Here's a pic:
Here's the download for anyone who wants to play: https://github.com/downloads/sim642/...0rtalSnake.zip
And the horrible source is on github: https://github.com/sim642/p0rtalSnake

i'm a little confused, could you elaborate on how that would work?
in it's current state, there's 4 action buttons, A and B on the left side, and C and D on the right side. motors and thrusters have 6 difference states - always off, always on, action A on, action B on, action C on, or action D on. if nothing is using a certain action button, it will be invisible.
this presents 4 buttons of flexibility to the user, while keeping the simple and effective interface free from any "design your own UI" clutter

So, i used the simplification of the beckmann distribution by substituting
into
Simply put, the formula simplifies to remove all the trig in the beckmann distribution, which means that the nice football now renderers much faster. In addition, i stopped it from calculating the specular distribution on the wrong side of the football, which fixes that and also makes the whole thing run a little faster
Simply put, the back of the football is now black like it should be (excluding a lack of self occlusion), and everything runs much faster

So i started working on the networking with RakNet and a shitty spaceship builder mode :D
