@hasherr upside down dinosaur.. too many drugs

or say "play with the monitor upside down" most companies would call that a feature these days

@IcyDefiance I don't know how to differentiate between the left and right side anymore.

nobody noticed @user3002826

WHAT'S UP @user3002826

the 1st and 4th texcoord are currently your left side

2nd and 3rd, the ones you set to 3/8, are the right side

glTexCoord2f(0f, 0f); this is bottom left

guess which is top left?

ah Lasse's approach is better.

@AlexM.

Account created today.

@hasherr don't get distracted

get distracted

by all means

Right, sorry.

I'm planning to go sleep soon

@hasherr here's a nice trick

╩

@Lasse Okay, so what do I do to make it so that it ONLY displays ONE sprite.

.

@Grey asked her yet?

╬

@Dave Yes. Will you leave me alone.

what she say?

@Grey Pics or it didn't happen.

a m g ; a ;

im guna guess she said no based on that resposne

@Lasse I'm guessing top left is glTexCoord2f(0f, 1f)

@Dave high five

and correct you are

Excellent.

So I'm rendering that side correctly? Or incorrectly?

my 2nd gold badge

gratz

:D

now that you know that's the left side, how would you make it so that it's the left side of one of the images, if the right side of the image is 3/8

O.O

Uhh

what would be the right side of the 2nd image?

The right side of the 2nd image

in coordinates

            glTexCoord2f(3f / 8f, 0f);
            glVertex2d(pos.x + (playerSprite.getImageWidth() / 8), pos.y);

            glTexCoord2f(3f / 8f, 1f);
            glVertex2d(pos.x + (playerSprite.getImageWidth() / 8), pos.y + (playerSprite.getImageHeight()));

almost, but not quite

I don't know.

when talking about right/left, you want an X coordinate

oh wait those are both the right side, they are correct I believe

Yes, they are.

That's why I put them there.

well yes, but there's a more specific answer that will help more

You were asking about right sides.

what is the X texcoord for the right side of that frame?

I asked the right side of the 2nd frame

if the right side of the 3rd image is 3/8, what would it be for the 2nd one?

            glTexCoord2f(2f / 8f, 0f);
            glVertex2d(pos.x + (playerSprite.getImageWidth() / 8), pos.y);

            glTexCoord2f(2f / 8f, 1f);
            glVertex2d(pos.x + (playerSprite.getImageWidth() / 8), pos.y + (playerSprite.getImageHeight()));

why they make it so complicated to texture something

@Dave it's not bad at all once you understand it.

it's simple when you get the hang of it

here, maybe I can draw something up

@IcyDefiance fair point that applies to everything xD

hasherr can you upload the texture you're using?

all frames

Yeah.

I sense Icy had a lightbulb on his head

There ya go.

crap, didn't reinstall GIMP after reformatting.

whoo fast internet

Currently, the sprites don't have any difference.

Except for some of them flipped.

Thus, resulting in the two kissing dinosaurs.

dino love

Reminds me of Grey and his not-girlfriend.

mhm. I'll kind of diagram what you're doing.

I wonder if @user3002826 is actually Grey's alt so that he can chat without being bothered about his not-girlfriend.

what's this about userNumbers? did he say something earlier?

GAAHH! Why is a Windows installer for PHP hard to find?!@ PHP tells me there's an MSI on the next page, nope, only source&binary zips. Oh look there's a link on the side that says I should download stuff from Apache's website if I'm using apache. Great, now I'm on a forum's main page. Featured article: New PHP binaries click, yada yada, you can download it here: click. What?! I'm back where I started!!

@JohnMcDonald wampserver.com/en

@JohnMcDonald I feel your pain

@JohnMcDonald Just install XAMMPP

oh well I think I'm off to bed and let Icy handle the issue

@JohnMcDonald apachefriends.org/en/xampp.html

NOOOOOOOOOO

@IcyDefiance ? :(

lol

I'm joking

@JohnMcDonald I'd wamp server too

Installing manually on a dev machine is for suckers.

(It's all behind a firewall anyway, right?).

I'd go for wamp over xampp, though, primarily because xampp's development has kind of fallen off.

@VaughanHilts No kidding

I've never actually heard of WAMP, so there's a good chance they're right. :)

I've been using the same XAMPP install for 2 years... oops.

Looks like xampp has a lot more than I need

Both work painlessly, I presume.

Hell, not even sure I need/want MySQL, but that was before I realized there were all-in-one installers

@JohnMcDonald its pretty heavy

I guess I should uninstall apache

Yeah, defintely nix manual installs.

Only do that on server machines where you need to tighten everything.

there isnt many better alternatives though for local host server testing

On a dev machine, it's blasphemy.

@hasherr i.imgur.com/TXeEYXG.png

I expect a shitty MS paint drawing

Let's see.

bah wtf, stupid thing won't onebox

oh well

you're welcome.

NOW YOU KNOW MY ONEBOX PAIN.

yeah it was the way I tagged him that was interfering

You can't onebox things with tags in the same line

Or at all, apparently.

Pretty sure Oneboxing only works if it's alone.

no you can, you just have to use a number tag, like when you click the reply button on another message

like so

I typed in his name myself, which killed it

he hacked.

anyway! hasherr. does the image help?

Yus

Man.

I have to allow typing in rationals with buttons in my app

How the hell do I represent that

hmm, not sure I understand

not like a calculator, where you hit the decimal point then keep hitting numbers?

It does fractions.

But it also does divison.

you can't just keep the divison and do (x/y) for fractions?

So... don't seem like it.

interesting

There's also the issue of inputting numbers with buttons, too. But that's an easy enough problem.

Easy way: multiply by place and tack onto number

@IcyDefiance So... Now what?

number*(10^placeValue)

@hasherr soooo fix it. :D

paste your code again?

I really have no idea what to modify. Been messing with it since you put up the picture and I'm not getting anything back.

            glTexCoord2f(0f, 0f);
            glVertex2d(pos.x, pos.y);

            glTexCoord2f(2f / 8f, 0f);
            glVertex2d(pos.x + (playerSprite.getImageWidth() / 8), pos.y);

            glTexCoord2f(2f / 8f, 1f);
            glVertex2d(pos.x + (playerSprite.getImageWidth() / 8), pos.y + (playerSprite.getImageHeight()));

            glTexCoord2f(0f, 1f);
            glVertex2d(pos.x, pos.y + (playerSprite.getImageHeight()));

this line here: glTexCoord2f(0f, 0f);

think of it as glTexCoord2f(0f / 8f, 0f);

and this one too: glTexCoord2f(0f, 1f); = glTexCoord2f(0f / 8f, 1f);

that should help

I have to eat now, so ping me if you don't get it. I'll get back to you later.

0 / 8

That does nothing.

@IcyDefiance Yeah, that doesn't do anything. 0 / 8 = 0. Not sure what you expected from that.

Phew. Wamp makes it a lot easier. Thanks guys

It's already up and running

Less pain makes a happy programmer. :D

why couldnt planets orbit in square paths rather than circular

stupid space

@hasherr nooo that 0/8 is what you're supposed to change

if you set the right side of the image to 3/8, what should the left side be?

3/8?

2/8!

YES

you understand what you did?

I do.

Do you?

This is really sad

reddit.com/r/WTF/comments/1qunoe/…

whats sad about table in a wall ?

No, just all the comments.

oh didn't read

the picture is kinda comical :D

Some of this stuff was happening less than 20 miles away from me.

The picture is kind of funny, yes, but still.

quite a thing to spot as your walking down the road

A kid in my class wants me to learn UnrealScript, lol

ask for money

haha

I should be paid money to learn that.

He wants to make a game with me.

Yet he is learning Java these days

UnrealScript is easy. Doing something with it due to having to learn how things actually work in UDK is the painful part

I consider the time I spend programming valuable.

I don't wish to indulge it into something that I have extremely little interest in.

Who knew a calculator could give me so much grief :'D

@hasherr Then don't? I don't understand where this came from :(

@hasherr if he wants to make a game firstly ask him why that language

@ToddersLegrande Where what came from? Me talking about UnityScript?

@hasherr I assumed it was a response to me. Nevermind.

Oh, okay. :)

yo

sup'

Room is always quiet on Sundays.

its obvious why

index buffers are PISSING ME OFF

my code is right! I swear! but OpenGL's being cranky and won't draw anything!

@IcyDefiance You are always the problem.

impossible

The problem here is the interface between the keyboard and the chair.

im sure youll solve it

Or maybe he won't.

lol stop being negative :)

lol

Don't worry about it dude.

I can't even get a calculator right.

Because I fucked up earlier and refuse to rewrite things. :D

i cant get my geometry right which is high school shit

I'm in high school.

And can't get my Geometry right either.

i highly advise you get extra learning if you go into game dev for geometry

out of school tutor or sumin

Or just pay attention in school.

;)

(Or just use it a lot.)

I'm not going to be a game dev.

i regret not seeing the need for maths in my teen ages lol

Any learning I can do I can just learn at home, and I understand school math very easy.

I'm off, guys. Night'

how dare you not be a game dev!

shakes fist

see ya

hmm i got to work out a way to check when an angle is ahead of the second angle

What do you mean ahead?

There is no concept of "ahead" in angles. :)

like this

So you basically want the sign of the curvature

the inner angle is ahead of the outer which i need to check so i can calculate backwards to get the path

i dont know the right word because technically it is also "behind" giving its a circle :P

@hasherr forgot to mention - audiobooks were a great idea

I know :D

@ToddersLegrande If you're ever looking for an alternative (or something more affordable), there are some really funny and entertaining podcasts out there.

I can give you some names if you want, but probably not tonight because I have to leave in less than 2 minutes.

@hasherr Yeah another time. I've got a good stack of books to go through now

@Jovito THIS VIDEO IS NOT AVAILABLE IN YOUR COUNTRY

D:<

really?

:(

yeah :(

wait

its fines in the uk

HAHAHAHA

@ToddersLegrande apparently "Itzhak Perlman/London Philharmonic Orchestra-Le Quatre saisons: Le Printemps"is not in the public domain in your country

yeah, blocked in Canada too

must be Europe only @Jovito

I don't even know what I did differently than before :'(

still blocked? @John @ToddersLegrande

Works now

cool (:

here's a question for you all: under what circumstances would C# think that -0.09755116 == 0.0975512?

and how am I expected to fix that?

yeah... floats are finicky, especially comparisons

you doing === or ==

==

Why do you need to compare floats?

Don't compare floats. ever.

I'm actually comparing Vector3's, which compare each component of themselves

can't really change it, since it's supposed to be passed to a shader later

but okay, maybe I can find another approach...

Found a interesting page with a bunch of articles on the subject: randomascii.wordpress.com/category/floating-point

@IcyDefiance i finally done it!!!

:O

i got the spaceship to fly correctly with time calculation :D

taken me what like 3 weeks :D

finally dont need that work around that was initially used

@JohnMcDonald thanks, that helps

@Dave congratulations! :D

thanks and thanks for getting me started on it

all good. it was a fun problem. would've worked on it more, but you know, got my own stuff

WHICH ISN'T WORKING BECAUSE IT'S STUPID

grumbles

any of you guys heard of "Risk of Rain"

That's the phrase that ruins my day.

I like rain, so no ruining here

well its a game in this context :P

@Dave My brother loves it. I play it with him

ha, it looks fun

it has multiplayer player?

Yep

think i might buy it

It's really hard at first

I'd be screwed without my brother and his unlocked characters

But I'm kind of bad

BEHOLD, A CALCULATOR. i.imgur.com/OYOP8cL.png

no equals sign

chaos will ensue

It's there.

:p

oh next to norm?

Yup.

;_;

never touching swing again after this semester.

ever.

what's up ppl?

hey, don't think I've seen you before.

Slaving out Java applications.

I'm banging my head trying to figure out how displacement tessellation works. Is it when rendering the mesh, you also adjust the vertex position according to the displacement map or just in the shader?

I'm trying to get my obj loader to use indices instead of a flat vertex array.

your right Icy because I just got 20 reps to be able to chat lol

hmm, I haven't gotten to the point of using that yet. don't think I have an answer.

The Amnesia games don't use Tessellation of what I've noticed but I'll like to at least implement it in my game engines.

Pop up a question on GameDev. SE :)

heh, dumb/odd question. How would I go about selecting duplicates of a row from a database? eg: select * from bots where botID in (1, 1, 1); where I want 3 rows, all with bot 1 on them

I will, I will Vaughan.

@JohnMcDonald I don't understand, Select * returns it all

thinks out loud, outer join with a sub-query. Got it

scratches head lol

yo John, nothing's dumb or odd - questions are pathways of learning. :) Are you using SQL?

hey now, I take pride in being odd.

Oh, I see.

I think I have it though

Yeah, I would say JOIN and then take 3

Icy, people are odd - because they have unique ID's. Just as instance data - every instance mesh has a unique ID. lol

well... I'm trying to devise a query that could work with (1, 1, 1), as well as (1, 2, 5, 10, 12)

@SICGames2013 that 'lol' there ruined your sentence

I really love ORMs for this king of thing

it's true though Jov. :D

interesting, PHP strings are multi-line

That's kind of evil

kinda nice, maybe

uhh, php strings aren't supposed to be multiline without special syntax

I don't think

hmm

nope, nevermind.

Nope, it's multi-line in the doc: php.net/manual/en/language.types.string.php

alright, gotta make sure mid night snack is prepared then I'll post my tessellation question in GameDev. Peace out

interesting

morning

Evening'

S-weet. Finally got it: select * from (select 1 id union all select 1 id union all select 1 id) botList left outer join botScript on botScript.id = botList.id; will result in three rows with Bot1's information 3 times

why do you want that

Well... there were probably simpler ways (like using PHP to iterate through the bots in the battle and query each one), but I wanted the ability to have the same bot appear multiples times in battle

The query results are passed nearly directly to the battle engine to grab the bot scripts, and the easiest way to get the battle engine to have copies of the same bot is to have multiple array elements for the bot

and... now I can deviate from "There can only be one"

There can be as many as you desire, :p

@JohnMcDonald I hope you haven't forgotten about AO. ;)

Yeah. I haven't. I guess I'm finding it a lot of fun to work with web stuff, and the fact that this game is so light weight right now. Too many ideas

Haha, the temptations!

My short-term goal is to get Like Clockwork ported from Google App Engine to PHP + MySQL, then at least I can post about it without the fear that my daily quota will max out

Sounds like a decent strategy. :)

It got up to like 60% of my daily quota on the first day of voting, so like 10-20 people

So hey, reddit, come chec....

idk what to do :( I don't feel like programming but I don't feel like anything else either

maybe just make some code and see what happens

while waiting for the work phone calls

I hate mondays

BigInteger classes are pretty sweet. :D

@Le

@Lasse Just hack something together to your spirit going :)
