I know it's hard to say without having played it yet but do you guys think not being able to control multiple vertices at once would be a deal breaker?

DukeZhou

@Sie I'm out of the loop on what you're developing

Sie

Basically you are given a set amount of shapes and you are able to deform/manipulate those shapes by grabbing and pull or pushing on their vertices. With said mechanic you are able to solve puzzles, build tools, and etc.

A big challenge has been finding the best way to control it.

DukeZhou

I'd say it's not a deal-breaker, but could be an extremely compelling option

(Game sounds hella interesting btw)

Almo

clickclickclick.click

Pip

that is the wrong pic :/

Need to clamp the pixels since they're blending horribly lol

jgallant

Sie

9:43 PM

lol

feels nice to be back programming dude <3

Sie

@Almo It's rather creepy...

Almo

hahah yeah

Sie

I tried viewing the source code to see if it would notice that...

It would be creepy if it knew that though.

I get this weird feeling it is watching me on my webcam.

Almo

it has to ask permission for that

I let it take a snapshot

it puts it on the screen

Pip

huh that's pretty cool

Almo

9:50 PM

i'm sitting by a window, thankfully nothing on my screen that got reflected is secret

Pip

that's real cool lol

I had it take a pic of my ceiling

back to tile mapping

AYY

ffs

the colors don't reflect the tile data yet, but it works (they're just random)

noice

There's some interesting wrapping issues on the edges

fix'd

Almost 2000 FPS on my 960 with 10k chunks, 10x10 tiles each

That's displaying every single chunk and tile too

jgallant

Now remove a tile

Pip

10:07 PM

yeah that's not going to work yet lol

working on making the tiles correspond to actual data first

right now the texture is still just made of solid-color pixels that get stretched across the tiles

I'm working on implementing both the data structure for tiles and actual textures

have to figure out Unity's sprite atlases

hi guys any software to split spritesheet into sprites ?

Pip

something like this?

spritesheetpacker.codeplex.com

it packs your sprites and outputs XML you can load

Almo

i think he has a spritesheet and wants to split it up

Pip

with XNA example: spritesheetpacker.codeplex.com/…

ah I see

I don't have anything for that, sorry. I'd look into the settings of whatever tool you're using

yahoo5000

yea i have liek 1700x100 sprite sheet and i do not want to play much with whoto shop to split into 17 sprites

is that tool have ant option to do that cuz now i only see sprite to spritesheet option

does it do opposite

Okay i found this seems to be working fine tnx anyway

Holy crap Terraria has a lot of textures for each block

that's just for the dirt block

I wonder how they use all of the duplicates

yahoo5000

11:15 PM

Okay guys this is bad thing jmsliu.com/products/sprite-sheet-decomposer need something else something who do not effect quality of image , cuz that one is working but is effect quality and change some colors

jgallant

Looks like a lot of variations. Terraria also uses a shifted Grid for their rendering

Like. One tile is 4 data tiles

There is a good writeup on this somewhere

I forget what the name is

@yahoo5000 I use unity :l

There is also shoebox

Requires Adobe air I think

But it is awesome
