Looks fuckin awesome. Are you gunna control all the turrets at once, or are some gunna be auto aim like most TD games? Are you going to feature a parallax background with other naval ships in the background firing against their own set of ayys, or is it just a one-ship-navy vs the alien armada?

>>15014347

>turret control

I plan on having the player control the turrets. I still need to do more gameplay tests, but in some variants I'd add an option to automate chosen turrets using some sort of an addon.

>other naval ships

Yes, I'm not sure yet how I should do interaction between them, but I want there to be scenes of bigger battles where our ship is part of a larger formation or some smaller missions where you escort and protect another ship.

>>15013981

looks like a typical shitty tower defense game, but the retards on steam will probably eat it up. there's a literal flash game called steampunk tower that's like the vertical version of what's in your webm, might want to take a look at that. the sequel seems to be doing well on steam

Maybe this isn't the correct thread to ask this, but this is possibly the thread with the biggest concentration of programmers/modders in /v/.

I'm trying to make a bot for a UE 4 game (SFV) to test some ideas I have for an AI using neural networks.

The problem is, I need to use CheatEngine to find the information I need to read ingame (health, position, etc). I've been able to find the values, but I'm having a lot of problems finding the base pointers. Decent guides and tutorials for this are almost nonexistent since they were made in 2000-2009 by 12-15 year olds that just want to make quick hacks.

Are there better techniques other than pointer-searching manually on cheatengine for this? Does anyone have any kind of experience with this?

>>15014967

1. Do the cheat engine tutorial. If it's not described there, you're probably shit outta luck.

2. Because of the rollback logic in SFV, you might have a very hard time getting this to work at all.

3. Why bother with neural networks when classic AI that reads inputs is already unbeatable?

>>15015441

Learn to code.

>>15015118

I did the tutorial, it's mostly basic stuff that doesn't really teach what to do with what I'm dealing with (or I'm not understanding what the hell's going on).

I'm not trying to make an unbeatable bot, that would be extremely boring and it would just be a bot that does shoryuken every time you press a button. I'm trying to make a bot that is more human-like.

>>15015467

Yeah, I could go for SF2, but what I wish to do needs a lot of player input, and with SFV I'd have access to their worldwide player replays to train my AI.

So I took an anon's advice last thread about integrating Lua scripting into my game engine.

Does anybody here have experience using LuaJ?

Can I get a brief explanation of to use it? The documentation made no sense to me.

So, I'm not really an audiophile or understand much about different rights or uses and what is or isn't allowed. Is there a name or label for a type of track/music that you are allowed to use freely while profiting off of it? I mean not the track itself obviously, I mean is there a label for a track that I can use for free in a game that I sell? I know there is a kind of music right or use or whatever the fuck it's called for certain tracks that can be freely used (crediting the artist) as long as you don't turn a profit on it, but I'd prefer to avoid problems if at all possible.

Otherwise I'd just need to find something I can purchase I guess.

I want to make an engine that's less a game and more a simulation of physical objects made up of many particles. Think of every object represented by many (relatively) large clusters of atoms/molecules. I'm thinking of basically scaling up the abstract way molecules attract to each other, meaning there are attracting forces that are resisted by the energy in each "particle".

What are some terms I can use to find more info about these kinds of things?

<molecular dynamics

<fluid simulation

<etc…

This is good stuff. I don't have a project suited to chiptunes, but I'll save it for later.

>>15013821

How would one implement an ingame character creator? I'm thinking that I would have to supply every model for it and use shaders to tweak colors, but it seems pajeet tier.

>>15016484

"Particle-based simulation" should bring up some things you can work with.

You can look at SIGGRAPH presentations and the papers they share. They'll use a bunch of technical terms as well you can use to search for more information. Vid related.

Now explain to me why SDL has to be full screen to make use of hardware acceleration.

>>15022299

It's under steams' new learning policy bullshit,so i think it's gonna be curved real quick

>>15023363

I don't know about SDL's own renderer, but there's nothing stopping you from creating a (non full screen) window with the OpenGL flag set, creating an OpenGL context for it, and use that to render to your window with hardware acceleration.

>>15023447

The developer is active on the official forums, you can probably just ask.

>>15023497

There's always some hardware out there that's complete fucking shit and has terrible support for hardware acceleration.

Instead, test for the platforms you actually want to target and go from there. I get that supporting potato hardware and 32-bit WinXP systems might seem cool, but if you're new to gamedev you're better off not bothering.

As an added benefit, by the time your game is done, the market share of potato systems has diminished even further.

>>15023530

I am dumb.

Are you saying that this fullscreen limitation only applies to some platforms and those are the ones I shouldn't bother with?

I'm still unfamiliar with OpenGL though so when SDL says "you can use SDL's 2D accelerated render API using SDL_Texture for pure 2D graphics which itself uses either OpenGL or Direct3D for acceleration" I assume there are much more efficient ways to make use of this (i.e. drawing every pixel by a looped individual call to drawPoints is propbably retarded and not automatically converted to some efficient batch for processing)

>>15023247

If you're talking about opengl windows and opengl contexts, there's not point, you can pass them around as u32s anyway so you're not saving any pointer derefs.

>>15023562

>Are you saying that this fullscreen limitation only applies to some platforms and those are the ones I shouldn't bother with?

You need to decide for yourself which platforms you should and shouldn't bother with. I'm telling you to test for the platforms you give a shit about. If the limitation doesn't exist for the platforms you care about, then you can ignore the limitation and tell legacy fags to fuck off.

SDL's 2D accelerated render API is most likely just for pasting textures and not much more.

That said, a quick glance at the API reveals that it has a function for drawing multiple points at once, so you can just batch your point draw and benchmark it yourself to determine whether its adequate.

What exactly SDL does under the hood is something you'll have to research for yourself. My experience with looking through SDL code however is that it's kinda shite. For example, SDL_WaitEvent[Timeout] actually sleeps in steps of 10ms, polling in between, instead of sleeping against the OS waiting for events as you would expect. As a result, getting a stable 60fps loop with that is not possible.

How do I run a different program from inside my program? What do I need to google to find an answer to this question instead of "how to compile and run le program??" ?

>>15023878

yes

>>15023878

What do you mean by "inside"?

If you want to have your program simply start another program, then you should use the appropriate system call. (E.g. CreateProcess on Windows.)

If you actually want to actually compile & run code during runtime, like you would with scripting languages, then you're best off grabbing a library that does that for you.

If you want to sandbox foreign compiled code, then get out of agdg.

>They wouldn't have implemented the stricter ContentID system if this law wasn't being voted on.

That's true, but I think this is more a case of Youtube using this opportunity as an excuse to implement stricter ContentID than anything else. Those cunts have been fucking with their platform in so many ways already.

How would I go about implementing a scale or standard way of measuring things in my game?

>>15026343

What do you mean by scale and standard way of measurement? If it's about converting real-life size into game units, then all you can do is just do it by hand when preparing your models.

I want to make game, what skills do I need?

>>15028326

See >>15019706

Also it really depends on the kind of game you are making.

Also read the Wiki, which you can find in the OP.

>>15028326

The ability to figure out what skills and knowledge you need at any point along the way, to figure out how to get the skills and knowledge you need, and the persistence to acquire said skills and knowledge and actually put them to use.

I'm serious. You need self-sufficiency, because you'll end up with a lot of roadblocks and questions along the way, and if you have to ask every time you see something you don't know how to get around, you'll both end up going a lot slower than you could be going, and awakening the ire in those whom you ask. Nothing wrong with questions, but you'll likely end up getting answers to most of them a lot faster if you have the discipline to look for them yourself.

But maybe check out the resources in the OP if you need a quick overview about what kind of stuff goes on in gamedev.

What's the trick to simulating lots (thousands) of individual particles that interact with each other (e.g. collisions)?

>>15028895

>>15028898

Are you making a sequel to Dust?

http://www.notdoppler.com/frame/639.html

>>15028916

I actually frequently have this game in the back of my mind. I've been thinking about it. Wouldn't it be nice to have a particle physics/chemistry simulator where objects were made up of particles that chemical reacted appropriately as well? I've been thinking about it. Each particle could be represented as an object with position, velocity, polarity, energy, etc…

Does source exist for dust or any clones?

>>15028911

Hundreds of thousands as opposed to millions. Each being quite complex in how they're affected by physics.

>>15028895

The most basic trick in the book is batching your calls and run them across multiple frames, instead of updating 10k entities you update 5k this frame and 5k the next frame, it's useful for slow moving objects, obviously you'd also need to implement sleeping objects that don't move so you skip those, multi-threading helps but it adds a lot of overhead and create more problems than it solves, you can also use GPU instead of CPU for particles.

If you want to fully rely on CPU, you need to use a data oriented design and have your variables tightly grouped, you want to avoid cache misses at all cost, just by doing that your code would really be fast (somewhere between x5 to x10 the speed of the OOP variant), next would be using SIMD especially for vector and matrix math since those would be used a lot.

Collision would be really tricky to handle here, you are forced to use some kind of spacial hash to cut down needless checks, a grid is the simplest but also most effective, most options tend to kick the bucket as soon as you have more than few thousands objects moving at all time, you can search for academic papers on the subject but usually they're not practical on the current technology.

There are also some over the top tricks like duff's device, unrolling loops, and even coding in assembly, but without those you can easily get a stable FPS with 10-20k objects.

>public void Blit(FloatRect target, Transform transform, FloatRect source, Color color)

In your opinion, is this method flexible enough to cover most sprites?

>>15030129

I'm certainly going to research all these topics but three questions:

1. Would it be valid to perform collision detection on one thread consistently in the background that updates some array which holds all collision information which is accessed every time the physics are updated? This would enable collision detection possibly at a rate multiple times faster than frame rate or physics update rate.

2. Can I read from this collision array as it's being written to or would this cause corruption errors? This would mean I would have to wait for the collision-updating thread to finish and go into a waiting state before retrieving the collision-info array which may cause odd delays here and there albeit very small.

3. Using pthreads with c, what happens if I make a program built around using 4 threads and someone with 2 threads runs it? Does the OS automatically handle this or do I have to make exceptions in my program?

>>15030855

Can the transform handle flipping and rotation? Those can be handy things to have at that level for certain effects. Other than that, it looks like it'd get the job done.

Also, if you have plans for any special masking or blending modes, it might be useful to have some kind of arbitrary bitfield for that sort of thing. That'd be easy enough to add later.

>>15030904

Sounds like the main problems you might have is if two entities are either momentarily touching in the middle of an update but will be separated once the simulation tick finishes (like when two boxes almost touching and moving in the same direction, but the back one gets its position updated first), or when you try to resolve some collisions of an entity before they've all been marked, leading to resolving some collisions that are no longer valid, and others that have been created by the resolution not being marked.

You could probably avoid those kinds of conflicts by making sure an area is fully simulated before being checked, and fully checked before being resolved. Maybe some kind of spacial division.

As for thread counts, just about all remotely modern OSes can run any number of threads on a single core. The threads just won't run concurrently, all being scheduled some CPU time as instructed or as the OS sees fit. Threading makes sense in a single core setting as well, if one particular task is waiting on I/O while there's other useful work to be done.

Conversely, even if you have one thread for each core, that doesn't mean that they will always be running completely concurrently.

Otherwise, if you don't do anything fucky, it'll probably just as well if there are less cores that you anticipated for. Some race conditions might be made much more or much less likely to occur due to the different pauses between units of work, though.

Just avoid tight loops where threads have to constantly wait between each other to do very tiny increments of work. Context switching in threads tends to be quite efficient, but it's still something to minimize if possible.

>>15031311

We talk about the importance of being able to archive games for posterity but the internet might be even more valuable. Imagine future historians being able to scour through ancient nets and get a complete view about our time, with full contexts and nuances.

>>15031188

Well, this is in C#/SFML. Basically, there's a function that's commonly used for all drawing functions:

>RenderTarget.Draw(Vertices, Start, Count, PrimitiveType, States);

The problem is that there's an existing VertexArray object, but it's very cumbersome to use, and you can't retrieve values from it yourself, so you have to recreate the values every frame after clearing it, which means you can't eg change values over time efficiently, so I made my own wrapper around the function call that stores those exact values above. RenderStates contains all the blending modes, but I don't think SFML natively supports clipping or sprite masking, but I'll have to double check that. (eg I might have to dip into the OpenGL context manually)

Anyways, I was mostly just making it as a convenience function. Looking at their source code, doing VertexArray.Add(Sprite) immediately draws it to the screen, wasting a draw call on just 4 vertices, so that isn't even efficient, hence why I made my own. Here's what I have now, for example, but it's just basic shit https://hastebin.com/veqohepiku.cs

>>15032168

Generally no. For outdoor environments though, sometimes you need to keep "unseen" geometry to cast shadows.

>>15033044

The reason why they don't is because floating points are inaccurate, basically because it's impossible to express certain numbers in binary so they have to use an approximation that's "good enough". That is, floats are perfectly acceptable for shaders and graphics operations, but tracking your character with fractions means that eventually, rounding error will catch up and you could be in a different location in the world, especially common with simple/naive physics.

It doesn't matter in a single player game, but the same floating value on one machine can actually differ by a fraction of a fraction even on two identical virtual machines. Thus, anything that "matters" to the game should limit the way they use floats, which is why that happens

With a ray-cast you will use it to check if the player is on the ground, and from that figure out things like whether or not the player can jump. You should use the built in physics engine to keep the character from going through the floor and walls.

If this is a technical question, like how to code a ray-cast check in Unity, you are better off asking google.

perform transformations then translate

>>15033868

That wasn't my question though.

The order I performed was backwards to what I expected. Eg, if I translated, then rotated, then scaled, (so it rotates around its origin) it actually would have been way off, being scaled then rotated then translated and I couldn't figure out why. It's working now, though.

>>15033915

I think you're lying to me.

>>15032819

Maybe your Transform class is already taking care of that internally? Maybe it's storing raw scale, translation and rotation values, and then calculating the matrix on request.

Nevermind, unity has a LOT of menus and shit. It looks like making a game is going to take a long time.

>>15033941

No way, I showed you my code and stack trace in my original post. You would think that you take the 4 points, move them to the origin, rotate them, and then move them back is correct, but like I said, for some reason I had to do it backwards.

>also your engine will generally skip drawing those surfaces anyway

True, but not having to cull faces > culling faces > not culling faces that should be culled when it comes to drawspeed. Of course this only makes a perceptible difference if you have tons and tons of invisible geometry.

Skyrim making small cabinets by hiding larger ones halfway through the floor, and people using trees to make bushes in Planet Coaster come to mind as wasteful uses of polygons, but also prove that it's not that bad since both of those games generally ran fine even with that shit.

>vehicles that change the movement style:

Multiplayer sounds fun, spelunky is a chaotic game and adding in more players just makes that more fun.

>>15034254

Do you experiment with more types of objects and colors? If you focus too much on trees you may find that your artstyle doesn't work with objects other than trees.

>>15035056

Remove the shotgun, there's no point on having a "must have" weapon because it trivializes encounters and makes the black market a "free items" level.

Also having your run end due to a stray pellet from a shopkeeper's shotgun is absurd, forcing the player to having to spam bombs thus interrupting the flow of the game.

I mean, spelunky's worst enemy are its items, because then you can ignore a lot of mechanics (like climbing and ropes).

Also, I'm a fan of interlacing branching paths/alternate levels (not just gimmicks like the lights out ones), that way you don't force the player to experience the same levels and enemies over and over again (an example of this would be BoI: Anti-birth or even the original BoI: Rebirth)

If you can't rotate the camera, you should try making the trees on the southern edge shorter. That way they won't get in the way as much.

>>15035832

But that's the thing, there's no reason not to rob the shopkeepers. A mild bump in your run at the end of the level for tons of awesome items, consistently, every run. That's a flaw in the game design, since the reward greatly outweights the risk (especially considering you need to visit the Black Market for the good endings anyways), and there's no good reason for a player to punish themselves for that.

Wrong. Case and point: Minecraft. It stole all its ideas from obscure games, became insanely popular, and the only people who ripped it off where nobodies. Not AAA monsters.

>>15037099

AAA studios don't know how to rip off games that they can't make mildly interactive movies out of.

Notch essentially made digital legos and didn't expect his game to blow up the way it did. /v/ was also responsible for popularizing it in the first place. He was an anon back then after all.

No, big studios copied it too. A lot of games had crafting and building mechanics for a while, if you remember.

It wasn't minecraft crafting, it was survival crafting, which was getting huge. Building I'm going to need an example. Base making has been creeping into the industry for a while now.

>>15037128

The survival crafting and building fad was absolutely in part thanks to Minecraft, is what I'm saying. Rust is a good example, and whatever other shitty survival games that followed.

It all largely fell out of relevance once battle royale became the current industry meme, which people are getting sick of already.

that hip motion actually looks pretty good anon. btw, you should link your thread whenever you post here imo.

>>15037144

>The survival crafting and building fad was absolutely in part thanks to Minecraft, is what I'm saying

Rust is more likely inspired by the DayZ mod, which the open world zombie apocalypse was an idea people wanted to do for decades but never pulled it off. Maybe minecraft took a part, but I doubt it. It plays so differently than all the survival games even down to the crafting until Notch started buying into the meme and shitting up his own game. These where all ideas floating around for ages. Look at Arx Fatallis.

>>15037447

I work from home, but there's quite a bit of work. That, and life in general takes up quite a bit of my time. I'd say that I still manage to put in at least 4-ish hours a day at the least, up to 6-7. It's hard to tell, since it's fairly spread apart.

On the other hand, I nearly never post, because despite all that work, I don't seem to get much done. It's mostly because what I'm working with now is completely foreign to me and I want to get it right.

>>15037472

>>15037492

While I agree, at the same time, if I don't think it's good then it's not even worth presenting for critique. At least, that's the attitude I've always taken. Generally, when I finish something up, I consider it 80% done. That's when I show it to other people, and set it aside for a period of time to look at it later, with a fresh outlook. Especially helps with music.

That thinking will take you to Tetradev levels of madness.

>>15039772

This works within Unity? Hell, you can sell the tech to them. Kudos for making better tools for other devs.

>>15039856

My point is, don't label your idea as great and unique, because some random people may come up with something exactly the same. I've had plans to make a bunch of software only to find out it already exists exactly as I'd imagined it, such as Hydrus.

>>15039861

My plan is to get all the basics done, finish a complete prototype then come back and demo my game and ask for tips on any optimization issues I run into and gauge whether there's interest for my game. If it's commercially viable then I'll try and find an artist. Boom. 2 E Z.

>>15039602

>throw it together quickly with some existing libraries and existing assets then push it out.

Then the game is going to suck. Your wording already makes it clear it'd be a cheap knockoff. Unless you publish your indepth design document or make a prototype and abandon it for a year, nobody would even have the entire picture of what your game would be anyway. I think it's a pretty irrational fear.

If you're really that scared about "idea vultures", keep quiet about your game until you have actual progress to show. At that point people can see you came up with your concept first, if you care about that. But it's not like the market is a race, there's a lot of room for similar games to be successful.

>>15039775

I posted it as a joke because he's a spiteful cunt who made millions and then tells people not to bother.

>80% of B+ games never make any profit

Because 80% of those games are derivative, unpolished trash made by people who think making games is easy money.

>sometimes even AAA games crash so hard the company has to file bankruptcy

Because AAA games are a development nightmare with bad management and sabotage by their publishers, with the goal of obtaining the IP from the studio. Notice how it's never publishers filing bankruptcy. As a small fry dev, that situation is completely irrelevant to you.

>You can however try undertaking the soul-sucking prospect of making shovelware and turn minimum wage profits

So you can be one of those 80% that don't turn a profit? If you think that's what it boils down to then yes, do go work at a fast food joint. You'll be a lot saner for it.

>>15040342

>>15040337

>>15040331

Well, WebGL + Javascript is already good enough for most any 3D game. Webassembly is like at 90-something percent adoption. You can code the entire game in C++ and run it in the browser if you want. To me, the web seems like a natural game platform. Downloaded stuff gets cached, and you can cache it yourself using the localstorage API. They don't have to be multiplayer.

>Quadtree can hold say, 5 items per cell, at which point it gets divided into 4 and items are split between children cells

>If an item doesn't fit cleanly into a child cell it goes into the parent cell

Okay, so if you had a tree from -1 to +1, whose children each went from -1 to 0, or from +1 to 0 on each axis, that means anything inserted at (0,0) would stay in the parent node. But then what happens if you insert 20 objects at this place, or even along one of the axes - they wouldn't overlap, but they couldn't go into a child, and it violates the maximum size of the parent bucket. What do?

>>15037099

>one vaguely related example of something else happening means I'm wrong

you sure showed me

>>15035659

How would you keep shopkeepers dangerous without them having an absurdly broken item that the player can also use?

>>15040456

You could try to only enforce the bucket size if it's actually possible to place an item somewhere lower. If placing items into a leaf isn't possible, they'll just have to live in whatever bucket can fit their coordinates, right up to the root itself.

>>15040002

>>15040261

I'm not sure if there is a typical reason for my project dying. It's usually a mix of things like making scope too big, work interfering, getting burnt out on whatever inspired it or just general loss of interest. I'm determined to keep at my current project though, since there's multiple types of FPS games I'd like to make.

>>15040323

>>15040373

Because it's actually kind of a pain in the ass. Working with the gamepad API and all the various bits and bobs is often more of a pain in the ass than just compiling for different platforms. You're right that it's easier when you bring in WebAssembly (because javascript is a fucking pain when you get larger than a toy program), but setting up a full WASM toolchain can be also a pain in the ass, especially when you have to recompile all your dependencies. Using proprietary components is also out in that case.

Distribution is easier, but it also means that it's harder for somebody to just download the game and run it off their desktop, and running it means you have to open a browser. It's not impossible by any means, but the average person would vastly prefer a native program, or at least something that appears native.

You're right that it is a viable platform for a lot of reasons, but not for all games. If you have a very large game, you'd have to use massive memory to match, or stream in assets over a network as you go, which would make it impossible to store it entirely locally. You couldn't keep assets in plain files and load them in at runtime like you normally can, they'd have to either be compiled in, loaded in through some memfs shim or something of the sort, or loaded over a network at runtime. The former options still have them all loaded into memory at startup, and the latter requires regular network access.

It's fine for small games, though, like agar.io and the like. When having your entire game in memory at once is no big deal, and your game is something that it makes sense for somebody to just load up in a web page and then forget about it when they put it down, it's fine.

Would learning C# with Visual Studio in order to make the simplest, most bare-bones text adventure game be a decent starting point in learning how to do simple coding stuff or am I underestimating the complexity of it all? I figured I might as well learn something to renew my mobility in terms of work opportunities and something like that sounds simple enough on paper, but is it actually viable? I know there's a specific program for shit like that - Twine or however you spell it - but that feels way too limiting and can lead to creating bad habbits.

>>15040576

That's a fine place to start. Python would be OK too.

>>15040584

I know Python and Java are the most commonly used for stuff like this, at least from what I've heard, but my main worry about them is in regards to remaining stuck with just those two options. I know almost nothing of coding itself but those are mostly relegated to website shit, correct? I figured starting directly with C# will allow me to more easily work up the steps into very basic games / programs and shit once I'm comfortable enough with a text-adventurer.

>stream in assets over a network as you go, which would make it impossible to store it entirely locally

You're describing the future of DRM: streaming game data through a quasi-browser program, for a subscription fee.

>>15040594

Forget Java, start with C#. It's practically the same in terms of difficulty.

>>15040622

>>15040643

Good to hear. I remember stumbling over some student giving a 150+ video tutorial on the basics of C# in visual studio and getting you started that was recommended by a few people online, I'll have to look him up again and get to work then.

>>15040525

So basically, the tree should always accommodate as much data as the user throws at it, but pushing things from an overflowing root to leaf nodes is an optimization but not always possible?

>>15040594

I think C# is a pretty good choice. I just suggested Python in case you are later interested in getting into machine learning, scientific data analysis, or scientific models and simulations. Python is pretty heavily used in these areas with extremely power numerical and symbolic packages written for Python.

>>15039204

there is also this one

https://cc0textures.com/home

>>15040654

You could also just insert an object that overlaps a border into all of the neighboring cells. Then you'd just have to check for duplicates when doing certain operations.

Unless you can somehow guarantee that bad things never happen, it should still accommodate all the data you throw at it. Maybe resorting to just bruteforcing some query if can't think of anything better. Like when you have entries at coordinates outside of the quadtree.

>>15040190

Have people checked out the demo? It it shift FPS for all of you? The GPU is not utilized at all - it's just canvas & JS.

guards and bounties

>>15040765

It seems to run fine (don't know how many FPS - add a counter?) until I run into a wall and get stuck in it - then things really start to lag, and even turning around is choppy. The collision seems to be broken, too - sometimes I can slide through a wall and can't get back out. Other than that - good job getting so far with pure JS and canvas.

>>15040751

So looking at wikipedia, there's 3-5 different kinds of quadtrees, but most of them are region trees. Duplicates seem to be an implementation detail. It's a naive data structure, so I don't see a problem with that. Capacity is only used to determine when to split, and data should always go into the smallest bucket that contains it. After splitting for example, if I pile 100 large objects into a parent node and it won't go into the child, that's just how it is, I guess.

>>15040802

If you're on Chrome you can bring up an FPS counter. Just search how to. And I'm aware of the up-close lag and wall corner gaps.

It's all done with pixel manipulation too, which took forever to get right. It was way harder to do than I expected.

>>15041634

I made a generalization. If think that mentioning two specific programs with millions of lines of code each disproves that, you're a fucking idiot.

>>15041609

Some games are more complex than some programs, and vice versa. A 3d authoring program must be extremely complicated, but I don't think Photoshop is that hard to make.

>>15041665

>some men are taller than some women and vice versa

nice job dipshits

>>15041653

Non-game software is inherently smaller and simpler because it needs to do less things, and once you have a program you rarely need another like it, so comparing the two is stupid to begin with. But you did anyway.

>>15041687

>comparing two things with many similarities is stupid to begin with

I was right about you being a fucking idiot.

>>15041665

>I don't think Photoshop is that hard to make.

A simple raster editor maybe not, but there's some incredibly complicated things in it that literally do not exist in any other program, at least not in the same quality and performance.

>>15041676

Some games are more complex than some programs, and vice versa. Your height analogy doesn't apply. Photoshop and Blender are very different in complexity. An advanced game is easier to make than Photoshop and harder than Blender.

gamedev is a subset of software development. It is impossible for software development to be less complicated than any subset of itself.

Maybe people should stop saying stupid things.

nevermind, I just realized this was the (34) who asked how to stop his game ideas from getting stolen

He's also the autist who said he hates video games earlier in the thread and shat up /tech/ with >>>/tech/931653

Is there a way to use geometry to test if a point is contained within an AABB? I know the proper way to do it and have it implemented (with ifs), but can you mathematically arrange the equality left<x<right so you only have one actual test to solve it? Mostly for curiousity

>>15041942

left<x<right is two tests regardless of how you write it.

>>15042009

I think there are some processors than can return a greater/smaller integer of two without any branching operations. That should be enough. So in theory it's slow, machine-specific, integer only, and probably gives you less bits to work with.

>>15042080

There is a line where optimization becomes madness.

>>15042100

you could probably pack everything into a 64 bit integer and use half the bits for x and half for y to do an entire box/point check in a single branch

this is madness

#include <iostream>
#include <string>

int main()
{
  // Always returns true if box_x1 == box_x2
  int point_x = 2;
  int box_x1 = 1;
  int box_x2 = 3;
  bool passes = ((point_x ^ ((point_x ^ box_x1) & -(point_x < box_x1))) == box_x2 ^ ((point_x ^ box_x2) & - (point_x < box_x2)));
  std::cout << "Point is contained : " << passes;
}

>>15042114

I forgot to say how it theoretically works

>return the greater of the left side and point

>return the lower of the right side and point

>if point is greater than the left side, and lower than the right side, it's contained

>if point is returned both times, it passed both tests

>or it failed both tests and you're checking against a width of 0

It works in the few tests I've bothered running, and probably fails if the point is exactly on the edge of the box

Posted a very specific question on stack overflow. Posted the error, the log, what I've tried, the versions of the software I'm using. Now I just have to prepare for half a dozen responses that have already been addressed in the OP

Have you tried killing yourself? If you can't figure these things out yourself you are already beyond help.

>>15043013

If you've never had an issue installing a piece of software, you're either extremely lucky or extremely stupid.

Is using state machines for platform game characters actually a useful design pattern, or just a meme? I already have a lot of nested if statements and I'm wondering if this actually will save work in the long run.

>>15042367

Well what was the problem?

>>15043252

Basically, a program couldn't detect itself when trying to install one specific extension for it It was inexplicably fixed by disabling my editor's SSL verification
