Icy Defiance

I really don't like that article

if the sandbox game still exists then who gives a shit if there's something else with a story

some people will probably do things in the sandbox based on that story, and others will ignore it completely

and that's perfectly fine

Pip

true

then adopt this mentality toward...most things. not everything, but most things.

Pip

alright, will do :P

Question: Would it be safe to say that Candy Crush Saga/Soda was made with OpenGL ES (for at least Android)?

@MickLH good catch

MickLH

I screwed up the edit lol, I accidentally only put in one of the two !

MLM

You should go back to the future and change it

MickLH

03:05

I didn't know I can't edit my edit before :P

MLM

I would change the id to hyphen delimited as well. <span id="flux-capacitor"

MickLH

well now you're getting opinionated

MLM

Ye, and might as well change it to a class

MickLH

the exclamation point after over 9000! is a safe assumption for any human situation

hey bro

Hello there, pip

Pip

just finished the first lecture from the online CS class from Harvard that I'm going to go through during break (they're recorded from a few years back)

uh

uh....

both?

MickLH

correct

Pip

cool

MickLH

lol what are you covering in the CS course and why?

Pip

It's a general intro to CS, starting with Scratch (for the first week, two lectures) then C then concepts like pointers, memory allocation, crypto, etc

extension.harvard.edu/open-learning-initiative/…

It's called "Intensive Introduction to CS"

ever want to learn how to use an abacus and see it say game over when you aren't fast enough?

same guys who made AdVenture capitalist

MLM

The game window is huge! You need to play fullscreen on at least a 1080p screen.

Almo

:D

it's hard man

I'm no good at it yet

Pip

alright, heading to bed

cya all

Almo

woa got 28

MLM

night, Pip

I am quite annoyed by the screen size requirement. Very cumbersome

Trying to implement 2D tile based lighting... any ideas how I could make this look like it's actually a solid piece?

user92578

user92578

currently all the 4 sprite vertices have static normals, the top-ones have normals that point up and the bottom ones have normals that point down

user92578

that's just a static directional light i've got going on there

user92578

13:46

Anyone around?

Kevin van der Velden

13:57

No

We're all just figments of your imagination

user92578

14:29

2D Tile Normal Mapping:

user92578

gives a small lighting effect

user92578

a really small compared to the work it took :(

toby

@Tyyppi_77 looking good

user92578

@toby thanks :)

i concur

"Dammit! I should have concurred!"

what movie?

MickLH

Someone made the classic, unimaginative joke about Linux from the past recently...

Almo

heh jon :)

you're one of the few people who has ever gotten one of my movie trivia quotes correct

MickLH

Something something blah blah Linux is so great, but try to install something and you get problems. I think it was you, @Almo.

Almo

15:58

It has a star.

well, 5 stars

MickLH

But then in the real world, in the day or two since then. I've run into about 3 examples while working where it proves that's utterly ridiculous.

Almo

and it IS "unimaginitive", because it is true

takes nothing to come up with it

MickLH

Lol no, it's really ridiculous

In the last day working, I've got 3 examples where it's like this:
Windows Users: Install and configure everything manually.
Mac Users: Install and configure a package manager, and then use it to install.
Linux Users: Install using your package manager.

Lokkij

Looking at Pip's trouble, it's not all that ridiculous.

MickLH

There's a reason why apple ripped off the app store idea from systems with package managers.

Package managers are better.

Hey Joe, where you goin' with that, gun in your hand?

damn, I keep forgetting nvidia has a bug with glcolor*b

i just wasted 2 hours on that

Lokkij

:(

toby

nvidia, give me my life back

Jon

request granted.

Almo

@toby argh

Lokkij

19:21

Um okay. How would I partially hide (or reveal) an object in Unity?

Almo

paritally?

you mean like alpha?

or like half of it?

Lokkij

Half of it.

Almo

use some kind of clipping mask

can get tricky

without access to the Golf codebase, I can't say much more than that about it :(

but clipping is what you're looking for

Lokkij

I haven't heard that term yet. I'll look it up, thanks.

Almo

sure :)

Do you use Chrome?

Almo

nope

Lokkij

I guess there's always the offline client.

Icy Defiance

cool game, but I hate using the spacebar for anything that needs any kind of precision

that button just isn't designed for that purpose

use X or something

in other news, dark souls is amazing, now that I've modded it into a playable state. hard as hell, but not in a frustrating way. almost every death is due to a mistake you make, instead of just bad luck.

Jon

Icy Defiance

I've actually died a lot less than, say, BioShock on hardest difficulty, but BioShock wasn't nearly as hard, it just resource starved you into dying, which felt cheap and frustrating

Almo

Xcode is not letting me remove landscape orientation

there's a checkbox to enable it, but if I click it, it just puts it back

there's a text listing of the options; the allowed orientations are an array

if I remove the ones i don't want, it puts them back

free points if you know why it does this.

Q: Why can't I disable landscape view in Xcode 6 project?

When I click the Landscape checkboxes below to remove them, Xcode just turns them back on. If I go to the Info tab and remove the landscape displays from the arrays there, it just puts them back. The project file is not write protected.

How exactly can the Snapchat team be blocking 3rd party applications? Isn't it just a matter of making the requests look legit to fake it?

I've always lived by the mantra that you can't trust your clients to actually be the client you've created.

But apparently the 3rd party application I'm using has been detected.

TheMuffinCoder

hey guys!

Am just wondering, in opengl what do you guys most use, VAOs or VBOs?

Icy Defiance

both

TheMuffinCoder

The most?

Jon

VABOS

Icy Defiance

no, seriously, they're totally different things, and you should use both

VBO is what stores the vertex data

TheMuffinCoder

21:46

Yea I thought so

VAO something static, VBO u can change

Icy Defiance

not quite

TheMuffinCoder

am sorry, thats not really how it is

Icy Defiance

VBO stores the vertex data, then the VBO can be bound to a VAO along with an EBO and some vertex attributes

then you just say "draw this vao" and it uses both the VBO, EBO, and then the attributes dictate how the information from each is sent to the shader

TheMuffinCoder

O.o i havent learned about ebo...

Icy Defiance

EBO is just your indices

TheMuffinCoder

21:48

oh.... :D

Icy Defiance

and you don't have to use an EBO at first. add that in once you have a triangle drawing if you want.

TheMuffinCoder

But would EBO be better?

Am sorry am still a noob with opengl

I still use glBegin...glEnd and stuff

I was going to convert my stuff to VBO but I came here to check first :D

Icy Defiance

EBO just saves memory, and maaaybe makes things slightly faster, but mostly just saves memory

TheMuffinCoder

kk Ill make sure to look into it

Since I plan on using most of the same code for android as well

Icy Defiance

say you have two triangles, and those triangles share one edge, making a square. that's just 4 corners, but without an EBO you have to send the two shared corners for each triangle. that means sending 6 vertices to the gpu.

with an EBO, you just send 4 vertices, then you send "0, 1, 2, 1, 2, 3" in the EBO, which points to those vertices

TheMuffinCoder

21:52

oh kk thanks Icy Defiance, you're always helpful :D

Icy Defiance

one other thing: Android doesn't use normal OpenGL. it uses OpenGL ES.

which is pretty much just like normal GL, but more restricted. some of the things that work on a desktop might not work in android.

TheMuffinCoder

I know

Yea I was going to say that next xD

Icy Defiance

aight

TheMuffinCoder

Anyhow I use lwjgl which also has OpenglES

Icy Defiance

eww java

TheMuffinCoder

21:54

wait wait

its just for now

Icy Defiance

lol I'm kidding. Java's probably the best choice for android.

TheMuffinCoder

I really like C++ more but I dont have much time to learn it

Icy Defiance

I actually don't have much against Java, but it's fun to hate on it

TheMuffinCoder

Hey guys! I just noticed the hat feature

AttackingHobo

@TheMuffinCoder you are a hat

TheMuffinCoder

23:09

:( okay....

Anyhow with the hat thing

This is starting to remind me of TF2

AttackingHobo

@TheMuffinCoder TF2 has hats?!

TheMuffinCoder

Have u played TF2?\

Everyone there are crazy over hats....

Hey SE should have a hat market

You trade for hats, buy sell hats....

Lokkij

That's a terrible idea.

TheMuffinCoder

ik

U can just change ur profile picture to include the hat

OMGtechy

Not if the hats must be generated by golfscript. Or sinusoids. Or both.

AttackingHobo

23:15

@OMGtechy someone will make a SVG to golfscript converter.... in golfscript

OMGtechy

I will be sad when my hat goes away.

TheMuffinCoder

whispers hat market

OMGtechy

I only want one so I can keep my hat.

Bragging rights for those written in Malbolge.

AttackingHobo

@OMGtechy scroll up a bit, posted a new gif

OMGtechy

I saw, it looks nice :D

I like the jenga break down effect

Not sure about the faces though, might be better when you make the other faces so

a bit creepy as it stands

AttackingHobo

23:21

lol

OMGtechy

You should add some surprised ones like :O

this is all IMO of course

TheMuffinCoder

23:37

hey guys could i ask you a opengl question?

I was following this example github.com/OskarVeerhoek/YouTube-tutorials/blob/master/src/…

AttackingHobo

You can. Will we answer it? Who knows!

TheMuffinCoder

But my question is, does glOrtho always have to be glOrtho(1, -1, 1, -1, 1, -1);?

I normally use glOrtho(0, 640, 480, 0, 1, -1); But since am trying to use VBO they don't seem to work unless I that other ortho

AttackingHobo

I don't ogl.

TheMuffinCoder

nvm
