Game Development

9:04 AM

Yes

But for what?

Perhaps in a similar way to Source

yeah

Here's how valve uses SDL, context creation: developer.nvidia.com/sites/default/files/akamai/gamedev/docs/…

When I used SDL, I don't remember anything 3D being there.

Yup, here's the API listing for SDL, no 3D stuff wiki.libsdl.org/APIByCategory

Hmm fancy, that's a lot of APIs

I could probably drop GLFW for it, hmm

GLFW <3

9:06 AM

Cause I still need something better for threading and audio

Ooh clipboard handling is also useful

I suppose I got the wrong idea from "Made with SDL"

Yep :)

I can see it's a little misleading

That's why the wikipedia article has a footnote saying "Needs clarification" in a bunch of cases

Saying Source games were made with SDL is... misleading

I was pretty excited to see that portal was "made with sdl"

9:09 AM

This was a triumph.

I'm making a note here, huge success.

you should be able to use c++ within the OpenGL context to move models

I'm sure it would be more difficult than xna

SFML is something to look at too if you haven't already.

@ShenRuki of course, why else have opengl =p

I wouldn't use XNA either; use Monogame.

Yeah XNA is dead

9:11 AM

I thought monogame was just used to port xna games to mac platform.

Originally, that was part of its purpose. Since XNA is dead now, it's become a replacement.

I'm excited about Vulkan, as soon as that comes out I'm starting another game engine.

yeah, I'll look into it.

then sdl is meant for 2d..

or people would just use openGL to open the window

SDL is meant as a layer between hardware / OS and your game.

can you elaborate

It also has some nice 2D tools if you want to make a 2D game.

Making a Window on Windows is different from Mac which is different from Linux with X which is different from ...

SDL just lets you say "make a Window" and TADA

Did they change the theme of this chat????

?

user92578

The bottom bar where the text box is is all grey for me

Not for me.

In a lecture about sdl the guy was comparing sdl to directx

but it was indeed about opening a window..

Well, they're completely different things.

OpenGL and DirectX are comparable, but SDL is a layer on top of them.

user92578

9:18 AM

user92578

This also shows another problem I would like to ask about

user92578

Why are my tab-close buttons weird?

That is quite odd. Perhaps it's trying to use your browser theme or something?

user92578

No idea

user92578

The chat style was normal yesterday when I left

9:20 AM

I was planning on using the OpenGL context of SDL

user92578

You guys didn't paint it gray while I was away, did you?

mine has always been gray

user92578

Really????

yeah

Gus G. Feat. Elize Ryd - What Lies Below

Madness.

And regarding the OpenGL context, sure go for it.

user92578

9:22 AM

This is really annoying

user92578

And yeah, that's a good idea, SDL + OpenGL

user92578

This is a great song BTW:

user92578

Man I've got some Vulkan API stuff here but I can't use it because I highly doubt my GPU driver has any Vulkan support right now :P

user92578

lol :(

user92578

9:23 AM

And the tab-close buttons look scary similar to those images I used while styling Qt with QSS

user92578

But I can't see how I would affect the Firefox style with that

user92578

AAAARGH I DONT LIKE CHANGE

@Kevinvandervelden thanks for your input, I thought you were upset with my ramble

@omgtechy thanks as well

user92578

Aight looks like string parsing is finally working

user92578

Someone should make an editor where you throw a few example strings, and select that parts from those which you want to aquire

user92578

9:32 AM

And the editor outputs an std::string::substr code mess

yeh, load models into OpenGL include ai and control a character with keyboard/mouse input and it's "made with SDL"

/shrug

user92578

Well SDL probably saved them months of work

user92578

I use SDL for my game

user92578

But I use its rendering capabilities too

user92578

So my game really is "made with SDL"

9:43 AM

@Tyyppi_77 you like metal?

user92578

Yup

user92578

Metal and only metal pretty much

TYR - Sinklars Visa

user92578

I'm not a huge fan of folk metal, but that's a great song

Folk metal is probably my favorite.

My first game is going to be called [OQULT]

Spending the next 5-6 months on artwork so I have assets to work with.

if you don't mind me asking.. why does everyone say xna is dead..

user92578

9:58 AM

Awwww yeah! Trigger actions work

user92578

Because XNA is no longer in development

user92578

And the tech is starting to get old

user92578

It's not crossplatform

10:10 AM

game idea:[Viken] MMo war-game. lobbies into colonies training in colonies until a certain number of colonies are ready then battle field clashes. you die a valkyrie takes you you to valhalla where you battle on a different field. leader boards. most kills. achievements (never died).

ect.

armors and weapons

mead hall in valhalla until there are enough dead

@ShenRuki You should prototype before making the assets

@Hjorthenify A class I'm auditing mentioned prototyping on paper. you're right I should do that.

10:33 AM

simple assets to work with would be a good idea

10:48 AM

I lately have been listening to some Eluveitie: youtube.com/watch?v=kb8WGig0MLU

also from the folk/pagan metal side of fence

epic

.. I should actually be starting to write code again. Two months of dicking around should be enough of a "vacation"

I think getting a lot of quality artwork together will help me get help from seasoned programmers.

I know how to program. but I am no veteran.

I could probably do it myself but I think it would be a lesser product.

tabernacles corridors rituals giants vampires likens sirens demons

warlocks of eclipsion

activants of stonehenge

dark druids

for the website. needs work. but it would be the header.

the warlocks are trying to blacken the sun.

sounds kinda lame (also there is a "physics" issue)

the wizard is trying to find his arcane sanctum.

hard to put into words.

11:01 AM

have you read "Dresden Files" book series?

no i haven't

try .. there are also audiobook version (by James Marsters)

What is the picture? What is it? It's some cool shapes and lines but I can't make sense of it.

Its going to be a the header

for a website

to sell the game

ouch

11:04 AM

esoteric workings of the warlocks

@BlueBug it looked to me like inside of some death-metal bands CD booklet

I actually clicked on the image to look for band's name

hahaha xD

I was thinking about using bullet for the physics system.

hoping that would work.

4 mins ago, by Shen Ruki

the warlocks are trying to blacken the sun.

I was referring to "physics" regarding this bit, because it made no sense

psychological existential reality. a matter of taunting angels that fasten the physical world.

flash on the website.

some inspiration

11:08 AM

@ShenRuki flash is dying

video and html5 would work too.

zdnet.com/article/…

hope I don't get in trouble for posting that.

wow i guess I would have to use video

I am really good with after effects

I was told it was a good idea to put my ideas out there. so what the hell.

to me it sounds kinda half baked, sorry

this one has some potential, but it requires userbase to pull it off

also, that webdesign doesn't make for a good website from the technical point of view .. it might work for a teaser page, but that's about it

@ShenRuki It's not a good idea to throw your ideas into public place to smash your thought into other people's face. xD. I absolutely understand the need of "letting it out-let the world to listen" but I think it is better and less of "spam" if you were more rich & dense with what you say.

oh man

the proposal is so bad i just...

that guys has to have gone trough soooo much material while making the video

there is one for 2014 as well

KAAAAAAAAPPPPAAAAAAAAAAA

which is your favorite onomatopoeia font, something here or something else you need to tell me about

@BlueBug Time is 107 seconds from start

12:14 PM

Ah yes

user92578

@Joe I like the third and the last one (both starting from the top) the best

thanks!

Why in terms of seconds? Easier if it was t=01m47s

user92578

annoying to parse

oh it does work. Cool t=01m47s works. awesome. Very intuitive. Good code.

user92578

12:17 PM

oh

12:28 PM

never doing that again...

user92578

never doing what?

I was suspended for my upload

they deleted it.

paint it black.

@Jon u here?

Why wont this work in C#?

Hi have a ball in Unity3D and I set its bounciness to be 1(100% energy conservation) but with every bounce the height increases. How to fix that I want constant boucing

user92578

I have no experience in Unity, but can the object which the ball hits affect this?

Ohh you mean the static collider with which ball hits/drop

?

user92578

Yeah, the wall or the table or the floor or whatever the ball bounces from

No that doesn't affect the ball....it have used physics 2D on ball and set the friction to 0 and bounciness to 1....and then added that Physics 2D component to my ball

user92578

is friction set to 0?

3:11 PM

yaa

I have developed using Livewires(python) which runs over pygame there to bounce something we don't need physics rather we just need to its dx & dy properties to -ve after hitting anything(collision)....i am new to unity

:(

user92578

googling tells me that you cant do this with physics

user92578

you should be able to alter velocity directly in unity too
