Anyways, I figured I'd just point you towards it, since you had issues with ItonPython. :)
Oh another great benefit is the fact that you can make your scripts in visual studio, saving you a ton of work and giving you full intellisense support and other visual studio features.
I've actually started to like it. It's much more clean, though changing code in the shared classes is a bit more work. Can't refactor between solutions.
@thelinuxlich Well, I've decided to wait with MonoGame for now. Had a little too many silent fails which I didn't feel like dealing with. And the switch should be easy enough later on.
Au Mexico, les étudiantes parlent Espagnol, Anglais et Français.
J'ai une pauvre prononciation du Français; Moins, je voudrais aller au Europe pour apprendre plus.
It is funny, how the first world countries are less "educated" than the rest of the world. Many in the USA or Canada do not even understand their own language.
Here in Mexico, we would normally get the TEACHERS certificate by 12th Grade.
Though, this is my Plan I have Native Proficiency in English and Spanish; I want to get at least Level-4 in German, Swedish, and French. Then move to Stockholm and work for DICE.
I've been roaming around on the site for days, and their comments are really constructive - aside from the trolls :/
I don't know if I'm becoming paranoid, but I actually refuse to talk about my game's concept in public now. I'll start doing it again, but once I've gotten the main features fleshed out o.o
So I have a factory that builds a unit over time. The unit costs mass. Mass is stored as a floating point variable, and is constantly generated over time. Example, I have a resource node that gives 5 mass a second. That means each step you take 5 mass * deltaT and adds that to total mass. When ma...
@thelinuxlich The doc looks fine, except why do you say "Your components should inherit from the class Component, which is just a placeholder for internal reflection."?
and I have limited input because I haven't used the system
@JohnMcDonald Do you think he wants to balance it so that all factories produce a product in equal importance regardless of needed resource amount when in starvation mode, or if it should be weighted so that factory taking 10 resources produces half as many products as opposed to factory taking 5 resources
No, I'm pretty sure he's talking about supply lock in a case where there are limited resources (5 mass) and multiple supply consumers, the total of which exceeds the current production rate (each wants 3 mass)
If you have a list: [producer1, consumer1, consumer2, consumer3] and you update in order, starting at supply = 0, you'll get this: producer1 produces 5 mass. You now have 5 mass consumer1 wants 3 mass. Success, you now have 2 mass consumer2 wants 3 mass. Fail consumer3 wants 3 mass. Fail
[next tick] producer1 produces 5 mass. You now have 7 mass consumer1 wants 3 mass. Success, you now have 4 mass consumer2 wants 3 mass. Success, you now have 1 mass consumer3 wants 3 mass. Fail
... consumers 2 and 3 starve until consumer 1 has been satisfied
yup. Simply put, I think if a consumer is fed, it should go the end of the queue, so: producer1 produces 5 mass. You now have 5 mass consumer1 wants 3 mass. Success, you now have 2 mass. Moves to end of list consumer2 wants 3 mass. Fail consumer3 wants 3 mass. Fail
[next tick] producer1 produces 5 mass. You now have 7 mass consumer2 wants 3 mass. Success, you now have 4 mass consumer3 wants 3 mass. Success, you now have 1 mass consumer1 wants 3 mass. Fail <-- This guy was fed last round
hmm... this was actually a good explanation. I should add this as an answer
the words entity and component get used so much to describe variety of differing patterns that it's a bit annoying that this particular one is called entity system
i can easily find if an intersection exists between the player and a collisionobject
but whats trickier is remedying that intersection
so lets pretend the character is on the screen with a static box blocking movement in the middle of the screen
what ive seen is that if the user tries to press forward to walk what woiuld be into the box, the update() method recognizes the intersection and resets their position to that box's edge
if(intersection) { player.Position = box.Left; } in pseudocode
@JMRboosties, hmm, Have you considered a vector-based collision resolution? Where you'd apply a velocity vector to the colliding object(s) away from the other with a magnitude related to either: the depth of collision, or even just the distance between the objects?
Using the method I'm talking about, I think applying a force to the velocity in the opposite direction should in effect, cancel the moving object's velocity and stop it
I don't know a lot about 3D, so take what I say with a grain of salt, but I think at the lowest level, you'll need to iterate through each triangle. How you get to that "lowest level" can vary though
Well... getting down to that "lowest level" can be done quite easily I'd think, but it would greatly depend on your game
in an FPS, grouping each limb might be an option for example. So: see if it collides with a player's AABB, then see if it collides with each limb's AABB, then go over each triangle in those limbs
So it would always intercept the AABB, but if i just knew the point of the contact, and the direction it is coming(direction is easy) then i could simply know what is the ray pointing to.
I'm pretty sure there's no magical way to know where a ray is intersecting a mesh (aka a set of triangles) without going through each of those triangles
You can just limit the set of triangles you look at by grouping them
@JohnMcDonald I've heard of something like drawing the scene again to a low res target with pixel depth info and check against it, but i really have no idea how to implement it and i also wasn't able to find nothing on it.
Well, once per frame, but i could cut down to each time the mouse pos changes
Well... it sounds like you're using the mouse to do something in a 3D world. Some of these uses are to select logical objects. I can only think of one reason off-hand to select individual triangles: terrain editing
As I already have a physics engine (bullet) integrated on the project, will it worth if i implement it on the scene and let it handle the ray collisions?
I don't know enough about Bullet or meshes or whatever to answer that. But I would bet that your physics engine probably uses a form of spatial indexing
A quadtree is only in 2D, so it could work if your world is pretty close to flat (not a spherical world for example), and you just wouldn't add the height into the tree. It would achieve pretty much the same thing as an Octree
