Dear Windows 10: I hate you sooo much.

2 hours later…

2:48 AM

why alexandre?

8 hours later…

10:24 AM

When i create a new 3d object i place it in the center of my virtual world. What i want to avoid -> when the user creates a other one, then this is also placed in the center. But it should be placed so, that there isnt a collision with existing ones. Need a approach for that.

user92578

not sure what you mean?

user92578

do you want a circle of items around the center?

user92578

or a line of items, first one at center?

Exactly...first one in the center and when another one is created its placed around the center so, that there isnt a collision with existing ones. Just a logic to prevent collisions on creating 3d objects.

iam struggling with the approach for the placing

user92578

10:46 AM

do you want randomness or a pattern of somekind?

i could be random but near the center...not somewhere in the far of the virtual world.

user92578

I'd probably just write a routine that generates a random distance and a direction (angle), and repeat that until there are no collisions

11:06 AM

o.k. something like locationGenerator()

user92578

doesnt mattter what the name is lol

it would just return a random translation matrix with that i can feed the transfrom node of to be placed 3d object.....and the check begins again

user92578

the downside is that it might take a long time to find one

user92578

but if you have a reasonable amount of objects it shouldnt be an issue

i dont have so much objects around...

for the randomness i should specify thresholds to keep near to center

11:18 AM

You can also just place the object in the center, pick a random direction and move it in that direction until there is no more collision.

user92578

that's also a great approach

Alexandre Vaillancourt

@cubesnyc It always messes up my language settings. This last time I had to open PowerShell as Administrator and type in commands to fix it. Talk about user friendliness.

11:45 AM

@nwp that sounds good

Alexandre Vaillancourt

12:10 PM

The E3 is coming soon!

1 hour later…

The Masked Rebel

1:18 PM

@nwp, I tried to implement your solution and it didn't wwork

user92578

did you do the one that trusts the center or the one that adjusts the position?

The Masked Rebel

pastebin.com/WW1kxkk7

user92578

so the one that trusts the center

user92578

Contrary to the name and description, this code is not guaranteed to find the smallest sphere encompassing a mesh. As an example, consider 5 vertices located at the positions of the 2, 4, 6, 8, and 9 keys on a numeric keypad. This code will return a sphere centered on the 5 key, encompassing the 1 key as well, when a smaller sphere is available with a center between the 5 & 9 keys. — DMGregory 20 hours ago

The Masked Rebel

yes

user92578

1:23 PM

did you see this?

user92578

2 days ago, by nwp

I guess what one could do is start with a circle with 0 radius on a vertex, then go through each point and minimallily expand the circle to include that point. That should be easy to implement and always give the correct result.

user92578

Did you try this one?

The Masked Rebel

no

so what I do is to loop through the vertices,get the first one

I will try write up some code

Alexandre Vaillancourt

1:42 PM

Please star responsibly.

8

user92578

just wanted to try a brute force solution that is incredibly slow

user92578

loop through all positions inside the mesh, and figure out the radius that encompasses all vertices from there, and then pick the smallest one

user92578

definitely incredibly slow

user92578

of course might be good enough if you'd pick positions on a grid that's sized in a good way

user92578

the difference between brute force and your "bad" solution is not very big though

user92578

1:52 PM

well, depending on the input it can be really close or a bit further off

user92578

user image

user92578

green one is brute forced, i.e. the "correct" solution

The Masked Rebel

@Tyyppi_77 I cannot see the image

user92578

white one is the centered one with max distance calculated

user92578

sure the square area gives some bias but I'm like fairly certain that spending time working out an algorithm that gives perfect results in a reasonable time is not worth it

user92578

1:59 PM

I wasn't able to get nwp's solution working, I couldn't figure out how to adjust the center properly

user92578

what are you trying to accomplish with the sphere anyways?

user92578

now I started wondering some sort of division approach would work

user92578

first iterate positions in a grid, then narrow down to a specific square that has the smallest distance, repeat until close enough

The Masked Rebel

@Tyyppi_77 The code seems to work. It just doesn't return the smallest sphere. I'll use it and fix it as I go along. Thank you

user92578

2:16 PM

@TheMaskedRebel yes but what are you trying to accomplish with the smallest sphere?

user92578

i.e. why isn't a close enough sphere good enough?

The Masked Rebel

@Tyyppi_77 i suppose a close enough sphere is good enough

user92578

this probably would've been good to realize two days ago

very often in programming (or almost any engineering, for that matter), close enough works

user92578

game dev especially

2:20 PM

:D

The Masked Rebel

0

A: How can I generate the smallest sphere from a mesh?

Here is what I came up with after some feedback from @nwp. set the radius to 0 set the center to the first vertex. add the radius incrementally to the distance between the first point and each point on the mesh. make sure that the radius add the center incrementally to the radius...

user92578

I couldn't get that approach in the answer to work, could you share the code you used?

The Masked Rebel

I know this is a silly question, but I'm not sure whether I have to add the position to the center to change the sphere to world space

LOL travel.se has about 2018 pages

@Tyyppi_77 I agree I'm just a sort of perfectionist

user92578

2:38 PM

dont worry though, these things happen :)

The Masked Rebel

i'm new to gamedev

and stackexchange

It's okay - a lot of new gamedevs go through a phase where they want to remake everything from scratch, in the most perfect way (I sure did)

The Masked Rebel

I suppose I've learned a lot from this incident eg. make the game and worry about perfection later.

i think that is why lot of published games have bugs

they fix them later

otherwise they would never develop a game.

user92578

gamedev is also a lot about choosing & using the right tool for a task

Alexandre Vaillancourt

@TheMaskedRebel Don't limit it to "games". If Microsoft had waited until there was not bug in their software, they would have died a long time ago.

The Masked Rebel

2:48 PM

@AlexandreVaillancourt Speaking of microsoft, they are buying github now

user image

Alexandre Vaillancourt

@TheMaskedRebel Yep. They realized they'd better buy stuff that works than trying to make it by themselves. (i.e. Codeplex)

The Masked Rebel

wired.com/story/microsoft-github-code-moderation

AFTER 6 HOURS

THE CSS WORKS

The Masked Rebel

@AlexandreVaillancourt They missed out on a big opportunity when they didn't go mobile

user image

2:52 PM

@UriPopov Accurate.

I'm a total noob. I spent 6 hours styling lets say the footer of the footer that has nested css up the ass just so that a Image will verticle align middle with some text on the right

Congratulations on slaying that dragon.

user92578

nice!

The Masked Rebel

@UriPopov is this your first time in this chat room

Alexandre Vaillancourt

@TheMaskedRebel Windows phone?

2:53 PM

@TheMaskedRebel yeah I poped in like yesterday

Alexandre Vaillancourt

@TheMaskedRebel chat.stackexchange.com/users/159128?tab=recent

user92578

@TheMaskedRebel no he's an oldie

The Masked Rebel

@AlexandreVaillancourt Yes but they were too late they should have done it earlier

Alexandre Vaillancourt

@TheMaskedRebel Who knows!

Blackberry were there for a long time and are kind of dead.

@Tyyppi_77 ya ruined it ! :P

The Masked Rebel

2:55 PM

@AlexandreVaillancourt Google and android dominates the world

I was about to give up on this bull and just remake the whole website with WebGl in Unity :P

user92578

can we see it?

The Masked Rebel

@AlexandreVaillancourt microsoft saved themselves by their computers and child restrictions

the website ?

user92578

yeah!

user92578

2:57 PM

no one wants to look at CSS

sec

lplay.tu-sofia.bg

The Masked Rebel

@UriPopov cool :)

user92578

have you considered removing the padding around the page content?

user92578

I think it would look better without it

user92578

remove padding from body and add it into the few places that touch the edges

The Masked Rebel

3:03 PM

do we have a business chat room. I searched, but i couldn't see one

that padding is like a requirement from my co-founder

user92578

well that's stupid

idk I kinda like it

user92578

it kinda works on the actual content

user92578

but the header and footer look odd

3:05 PM

well I have not made the original site I'm just making "alterations"

The Masked Rebel

@UriPopov Maybe you should put a question to the people visiting the page. ask them to vote on weather they should be padding or not

I'm pretty sure design by democracy ends in disaster.

3

@TheMaskedRebel that would go down into the "do it much later" category

user92578

@TheMaskedRebel lol i dont think thats a good idea

The Masked Rebel

@nwp Might be, I don't know ¯_(ツ)_//¯

Alexandre Vaillancourt

3:08 PM

@TheMaskedRebel You need to double the \ -> \\

Unless you want to make a Rayman out of that..

user92578

hahahahha

The Masked Rebel

3:21 PM

we need to remind all the users above 20 rep that there is a chat here and anyone is welcome to use it

user92578

no

The Masked Rebel

@Tyyppi_77 why

user92578

its spam to them

The Masked Rebel

@Tyyppi_77 if a moderator says so it might not be so spammy

Also chat doesn't work well with more than 10-ish active people. Look at twitch chat of popular streamers as an example.

The Masked Rebel

3:24 PM

@nwp Ah but then it would be good reason to split the chat if more people come

user92578

yes but that becomes chaos too

user92578

see any large discord server

So besides multiplying the chatrooms nothing would change.

The Masked Rebel

@Tyyppi_77 I used to be on one

Alexandre Vaillancourt

@TheMaskedRebel If it comes to that, we'll be happy to oblige. Chat has a room for c++ questions and a room for c++ users not chatting about c++.

3:27 PM

@TheMaskedRebel We mention it when it's relevant - say anytime a comment thread starts getting a bit too involved. Our site format doesn't lend itself super well to passive/background reminders, since it's very content-first.

The other problem is that you lost your expertise. Previously people put answers on semi-searchable pages with a little bit of peer-review. That would no longer be the case and you are back to forums where somewhere in those 1000 page threads that talk about all kinds of stuff is the information you need. One of the primary goals of SO was to fix that.

I do think current Q&A has issues, but I don't think chat can fix them, at least not without something extra.

The Masked Rebel

@nwp We should start a chat exchange about fixing these problems

@AlexandreVaillancourt is code reviewing allowed here

Alexandre Vaillancourt

@TheMaskedRebel Sure, as long as the code is not to big. There are no rules against it that I'm aware of.

Maybe something like a Q&A chain that is not split across pages where context matters but it is still focused on one topic. That way you combine the advantages of focused Q&A and responsive chat. Or the disadvantages.

The Masked Rebel

@nwp

@nwp is that the site you were talking about

3:34 PM

@TheMaskedRebel codereview.stackexchange.com exists in case you want it done properly™.

@TheMaskedRebel No. It doesn't allow Q&A chains, it doesn't have chat character at all and if one would be really annoying about it one could say it doesn't even allow asking of technical questions.

The Masked Rebel

@nwp Then we should probably focus on reforming the meta site instead of cluttering the exchange. That would be more likely to be accepted @AlexandreVaillancourt .

than adding a new exchange

user image

is there a way that you can override that this is fine

user92578

that's very cool and all but I could definitely do without these every 30 minutes

I would not hijack meta for a new Q&A site. Maybe letting people specify that a question is a followup question and then displaying those linked questions in 1 page is good enough.

this is fine

aww

user92578

this is fine

user92578

hahaaa!

3:44 PM

@Tyyppi_77 Did you use a proper zero-width space?

user92578

codepen.io/chriscoyier/full/iLKwm

Nice. A regular space works too btw :P

user92578

oh lol

The Masked Rebel

	public CollsionInfo isColliding(Sphere sphere) {
		Vector3f normal = Vector3f.sub(center, sphere.getCenter(), null);

		float depth = radius + sphere.radius;

		if(!(normal.length() < depth)) return null;
		normal.normalise();
		if(!entity.isStaticObject()) {
			CollsionInfo info = new CollsionInfo(normal,depth,entity);
			return info;
		}else if(!sphere.getEntity().isStaticObject()){
			normal.negate();
			CollsionInfo info = new CollsionInfo(normal,-depth,sphere.entity);
			return info;
		}
		return null;

user92578

i guess the meme stuff happens before sanitization

user92578

3:45 PM

sanitiation?

user92578

sanitiziation?

The Masked Rebel

Can someone revew my code

user92578

to sanitize is the verb

user92578

CollsionInfo

user92578

dunno what we are supposed to review there

3:47 PM

Tabs vs spaces

user92578

what is the third parameter to sub?

user92578

also java is awful, i cant believe so many people use a language without operator overloading for gamedev

The Masked Rebel

@Tyyppi_77 I know c++ is way better but they are a load of libaries that port c++ code into java and he made and released two whole games in java

CollsionInfo info = new CollsionInfo(normal,depth,entity);
return info;

That doesn't look right.

I'm fairly sure Java doesn't require you to type the type twice anymore.

user92578

@TheMaskedRebel i know a lot of people use java like I said

3:53 PM

Also you can just skip creating info and return directly.

The Masked Rebel

@nwp thanks

I'd ensure your variables accurately reflect what they are. eg. normal isn't a normal (yet) when you define it.

user92578

@nwp There is no var or auto in Java AFAIK if that's what you meant?

Vector3f relativePosition = Vector3f.sub(center, sphere.getCenter());
Vector3f normal = Vector3f.normalize(relativePosition);
float distance = Vector3f.dot(normal, relativePosition);

The Masked Rebel

@Tyyppi_77 NOPE

user92578

3:54 PM

seriously though, what is the third parameter to sub?

The Masked Rebel

@Tyyppi_77 null

And I'd avoid unnecessary negations. if(!(normal.length() < depth)) return null; could be...

if(distance > depth)
   return null;

user92578

are you serious with that answer???

user92578

I CAN SEE THAT IT IS NULL

The Masked Rebel

@Tyyppi_77 yes

3:55 PM

Fewer cognitive twists required to read it that way.

user92578

okay let me try again

user92578

what does the third parameter represent?

user92578

I view subtraction as a binary operation between two elements

The Masked Rebel

@Tyyppi_77 it repersents the destination of the subtraction of the two elements

Ah, so if you pass null it returns a new Vector3f, right?

3:57 PM

@DMGregory That's tricky. Can't name it will_become_normal_later because that's not true after normalizing it anymore either.

user92578

OMG java doesnt even have default parameters

@nwp Right, that's why in my example I call it relativePosition, because that's what it is. Then normal can be defined based on that.

Or you could make a function that produces a unit vector & distance given two endpoints if you want to do it in one step without explicit intermediates.

The Masked Rebel

@Tyyppi_77 it returns a Vector3f weather you pass null or not. If you pass a vector it will store the return value in the Vector3f you pass in AND return the result.

@Tyyppi_77 I could have sworn there was something like that in newer versions, but apparently I'm wrong.

@TheMaskedRebel (the key word there was "new")

The Masked Rebel

4:03 PM

@nwp apparently lwjgl had it in older versions but the removed it in newer versions.

user92578

@TheMaskedRebel how is that possible?

The Masked Rebel

@Tyyppi_77 In java if you want to return something you HAVE to return it under ALL conditions.

user92578

no how can LWJGL implement something that isn't in the actual language that LWJGL runs under?

user92578

how did LWJGL implement an automatic type deduction keyword into Java?

The Masked Rebel

@Tyyppi_77 What is that

4:06 PM

Something like Node<Integer> node = new Node<>(); compiles in more recent versions, I think. I don't really know Java.

user92578

@TheMaskedRebel you said that LWJGL had that previously?

user92578

12 mins ago, by Tyyppi_77

@nwp There is no var or auto in Java AFAIK if that's what you meant?

user92578

I said that

user92578

5 mins ago, by nwp

@Tyyppi_77 I could have sworn there was something like that in newer versions, but apparently I'm wrong.

user92578

nwp replied that

user92578

4:07 PM

3 mins ago, by The Masked Rebel

@nwp apparently lwjgl had it in older versions but the removed it in newer versions.

user92578

then you said that

The Masked Rebel

@Tyyppi_77 No I was talking about unit vectors

sorry for the misunderstanding

user92578

omfg

The Masked Rebel

@Tyyppi_77 lwjgl doesnt have any multiplication and division

functions

user92578

yes it does

The Masked Rebel

4:10 PM

@Tyyppi_77 Where

user92578

scale

The Masked Rebel

@Tyyppi_77 is that division

user92578

it multiplies by scalar which can be easily used for division too

user92578

vector * vector isn't cleanly defined anyways

user92578

(all though I always implement that to mean component wise multiplication)

The Masked Rebel

4:11 PM

@DMGregory sorry your code snippit doesn't work for lwjgl3

@TheMaskedRebel This isn't intended for copy-and-paste. It's an example of an approach to naming.

user92578

you're one of those people who complain about pseudo code not compiling, aren't you?

The Masked Rebel

@DMGregory Ah I see. But I meant that the functions you used are non-existant and because java is OOP that is a very big problem

@Tyyppi_77 Yes i am

user92578

@TheMaskedRebel very big problem?

user92578

@TheMaskedRebel please dont be in the future

The Masked Rebel

4:16 PM

@Tyyppi_77 There is now way that i can normalize the relative position without changing the depth position

Then you use functions that do exist, or write your own if none exist that do what you want (though I'd be very surprised if lwjgl3 lacks functions for normalizing or taking dot products)

@TheMaskedRebel Sure there is. One moment...

distance = relativePosition.length()
normal = scale(relativePosition, 1/distance)

The Masked Rebel

thanks

@Tyyppi_77 psudo-code is not meant to compile

user92578

also code that people give you online to help you is not meant to compile

There's usually about a dozen ways to skin any given cat with vector math, so when one route gets messy in a given framework we can switch to another. :)

Did I ever show you guys what happens when a dissolve shader goes wrong ? imgur.com/a/f5VMW9s

4:31 PM

@UriPopov Shader glitches are the best glitches.

@DMGregory 200% agree. People I work with still wonder why I lol 30% of the time I write shaders.

The Masked Rebel

is there a way that i can port a game written in java using lwjgl to a console

also game is now with fancy volumetric clouds imgur.com/a/bgHAKjc

The Masked Rebel

@UriPopov Next time when posting images on this site please may you use this. They you can post raw images in the chat

@TheMaskedRebel There's nothing fundamentally impossible about it. Porting is just a matter of how much patience (/budget) you have to rewrite stuff. You could port a program from BrainF*** to Xbox if you had enough reason to...

4:35 PM

@TheMaskedRebel you mean the buld in upload button? Cant cause the screenshot exceeds the file limit.

The Masked Rebel

@DMGregory So you have to rewrite the whole game in xbox language

user92578

yes but do note that the xbox language is very hard

xbox language XD

user92578

I tried to learn the xbox language years ago but it was just too hard

user92578

first of all you are not allowed to use the letters P or S at all

The Masked Rebel

4:37 PM

@Tyyppi_77 Kidding or not

Not to mention N I T E D O

@TheMaskedRebel we are kidding cause there is no such thing as a xbox language

I think maybe you shouldn't troll the new devs too much. ;) They might believe you.

The Masked Rebel

@DMGregory So how do I port the game

user92578

I only troll when the stuff can be easily looked up online

user92578

Microsoft probably won't allow you to run a JVM on a console so you'd need to retarget it into Universal Window Platform or whatever the thing is called somehow, probably by using C++ or C#

4:39 PM

There's not really a simple recipe or step-by-step guide for porting. It tends to be very particular to the game you're porting, and the tech you're porting it to.

That's why people spend money for engines that have already solved most of the thorny cross-platform porting problems.

The Masked Rebel

@Tyyppi_77 SO I have to rewite the whole thing in c++

or c#

So, the easiest answer would be to (re)build your game in a cross-platform engine.

@TheMaskedRebel best scenario would be to use a existing engine like Unreal or Unity and recreate the game in there while reusing the "logic" of the game

is XNA still in use or ?

The Masked Rebel

is there a console I can run java code on

I answered a question relevant to this recently...

0

A: JVM for PS4 Console

In the interest of giving this question a concrete answer: There's no fundamental/technical limitation that would prevent a Java virtual machine or any other program from being developed/ported to run on a modern game console. They're general-purpose computers, so in principle anything that you ...

user92578

4:42 PM

the steam consoles might

user92578

@UriPopov MonoGame/FNA

@TheMaskedRebel the OUYA for sure

Nvidia's Shield too

@TheMaskedRebel or the better alternative. Stop using java today. Just stop it. Get some help.

C# is very similar to Java, and transpilers like IL2CPP have a proven track record of helping C# games run on platforms that don't support the CLR.

user92578

user image

The Masked Rebel

@UriPopov maybe I could compile the code and then port it

user92578

4:46 PM

what

The Masked Rebel

compile the code from java into machine language an then port it.

Java doesn't exactly compile to machine language. At least, not for a physical machine. It compiles to bytecode for the Java virtual machine.

user92578

there might be tools that translated JVM instructions to some other machine code

user92578

but that would still leave the issue with libraries etc

The Masked Rebel

@Tyyppi_77 lwjgl runs in c++ not java

user92578

4:49 PM

ugh

user92578

anyone else wanna take this?

user92578

ive kinda had enough

The Masked Rebel

it uses .DLL instructions to run

@Tyyppi_77 Fair. I think they'd still end up reimplementing a whole chunk of the JVM in addition to the game, rather than focusing on the game itself. I don't think this is the most scalable direction to take a project.

user92578

yeah definitely, I was not intending to suggest that as a realistic approach

The Masked Rebel

4:52 PM

@DMGregory I'll just leave my game to run on windows :/

user92578

I don't really feel like code converters work in general at all lol, shader code seems sort of like a reasonable line where to stop IMO

The Masked Rebel

or get someone else to do the dirty work

user92578

Java games even on Windows are annoying because they require Java installation

@TheMaskedRebel just like remake the whole game in Unity and automagicaly build to what ever the f you want. This will spare you a whole bunch of trouble

The Masked Rebel

@Tyyppi_77 Most times on Microsoft java comes already installed because of that reason alone.

and also because of minecraft

user92578

4:55 PM

wait are you claiming that windows comes with a java installation?

but Microsoft actually completely remade Minecraft for the Xbox

The Masked Rebel

@Tyyppi_77 Sometimes

I know that for a fact

user92578

no way that's true

For where you are in your gamedev experience, I'd really recommend starting with an established engine. There's no shame in using existing, proven solutions, and you'll learn a lot from how a battle-tested gamedev environment structures its features, while spending less time hung up on low-level prerequisites.

user92578

4:56 PM

The Minecraft version for Windows 10 is also written in C++

^^^

user92578

The version that everyone plays though is called like "Java Edition" or something these days

you can do Minecraft in Unity for like a week

@UriPopov ...I'd still aim much much smaller than Minecraft while they're learning. Minecraft has a lot more complexity than meets the eye, and can be a serious trap for beginner developers.

Just thinking of how many Q&As we have about "I tried to make a 'simple' Minecraft world by spawning eleventy billion cubes and my performance is terrible!" ;)

@DMGregory I meant that if you can recreate Minecraft in Unity in a week it would be ok to start recreating his java game in it. Cause it's fast to learn and use.

5:00 PM

Fair point.

The Masked Rebel

@DMGregory this ...is the type of game that I'm aiming for.

Start smaller. Seriously. Tic-Tac-Toe, Tetris, Breakout. You'll have time for your opus later.

@TheMaskedRebel wait so you have something like that made in jave or you are just beggining gamedev now and want to learn ?

The Masked Rebel

@UriPopov I made a smaller game before

How smaller ?

The Masked Rebel

5:03 PM

a hitbox game. Very basic.

And I made a snake game ages ago in python

and a text based game in batch.

well my advice then is ditch this whole going native idea and learn a game engine. Pick Unity or Unreal (doesnt really matter, I prefer Unity), follow the tutorials, understand how to use the tool and then begin making your game

^

The Masked Rebel

@UriPopov Alright I will just make a windows based game then

I am doing pretty well

you seem to be missing the whole point. When you use a established multi-platform engine you make your game once and then with slight very small (cough cough) adjustments you can run it anywhere.

yeah, depends on which platforms and what you're doing, but Cognizer presented minimal issues with different platforms.

5:07 PM

imgur.com/a/plEPXws One more pretty picture I'm sharing

biggest one was the need for back button support on Android, but that ended up being useful for esc button support on OSX/Linux/Windows

The Masked Rebel

Also I can make my game cross-platform for android

what exactly do you mean by cross-platform for android ?

@Almo good old #if UNITY_STANDALONE_WIN #elseif UNITY_ANDROID #endif :D :D :D

I mean that iOS doesn't have a back button

I wrote the game for iOS first, then worried about android.

@TheMaskedRebel Can you describe what you mean by that?

You want its extents along the x axis, or a great circle around the sphere (horizontally?), or its scale factor along the x axis, or something else?
