I think this is due to the seed. It seems to work for me when leaving it blank, but specifying a fixed seed is very hit or miss. Seed = 10 with the default values seem to work though.

Yes, the seed field is only meant for regenerating attractors that you've already discovered. It you leave it blank it will just try random seeds until it finds something potentially interesting.

Maybe the app is runing on a server in a close orbit around the sun, so any 8-minutes delay you might experience would be down to network latency on your end.

Here's two sites im currently working on.

First one is a website for a local volunteer fire department. I decided to use Wordpress given the requirements and the availability of plugins that filled said requirements.

The second one is a site for a local "green" food distributor. Using LAMP, Zend Framework specifically as they are expecting to add alot of functionality to the website as time goes on and I didn't want to a square peg, round hole type of thing with Wordpress. The design for this one is done, but I havent finished some items like the navbar that would be at the top right.

That's a nice green.

Here's a site I'm working on, I think it was designed two years ago by a Japanese artist but all the gaps left to whither. Let's say it's more functional than pretty.

Account login is via Gmail or Google Apps, I hacked up the PHP-OpenID stuff to get it working with todays current implementations. The live search is a jquery modified and pink version of a scriptaculous version I did before, copying Apple. All the styles and inventory are taken live from a separate inventory system, along with client data from a separate CRM and directory.

The algorithm for how many points a question gives? It's just 11 - int(percentage / 10). So if a question is gotten righ t90% of the time you get 2 points for it. If you mean sorting players that's just a simple bayesian adjugested average.

I'm making an isometric strategy game. I paid an artist to do the animations, but did the terrain tiles myself.

It's browser based, will be releasing it later this month.

I agree - The design was done by a kid that does pretty decent work for about $100 - $150. That was part of his original design and I made a number of changes, however, the light green separators was something they really liked.

I did go in and tone it down quiet a bit, before, it was a pretty loud and obnoxious neon green.

Pluralize filter that poo poo. Awesome site though!

It'd be cool to make sans serif vs. serif comparisons rarer at higher levels too.

Hehe, good catch, I'll put in a fix for that. We're definitely working on ways to make the harder questions more common at the higher levels.

Nothing so clever, I have 9 nebula images I whipped up in the gimp which I then place in clusters of 3-4. I'm hoping to do some procedurally generated ships however - I've exposed sufficient functionality via Lua, I just need to figure out the algorithm.

Either way looks good. I was hoping maybe it was procedural and I could learn something but maybe Ive just found a project for myself.

That's good to hear.

What I'd like to comment on is the way you offset the entire interface when a notification pops up at the top. It sure draws attention to the message, but it's hella annoying because you need to alternate between two fixed position buttons to play.

Yep, we're actually refactoring the way we handle notifications entirely so this will be fixed en passant.

Heres the bad boy I've been working on for months.....

http://www.itwire.com/content/view/29022/545/

Its a full SIP stack VOIP phone, with Speex, GSM, G711 codecs, echo cancellation, ICE nat negotiation, call on hold facilities, SMS over HTTP , everything.

It will literally be the best VOIP phone on the market.

I'm now working on an Android port of the same client.

Hopefully this should be out in the app store in a couple of weeks. Y'all go buy it so this dude gives me more work k?

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u9cVGTkRCJc

Note: This is the client demonstrating an old build of the phone. I wish he wouldn't it looks but ugly with the non stylized lists and the like. The new one builds loving shmicko.







I'm crazy proud of this thing.

I've had this batshit crazy plan lately of building a SIP client into an FPGA. I'll probably disabuse myself of that sillyness later on.

Not exactly a huge project, but I'm pretty happy with my shader that lets me paint an arbitrary number of textures onto a heightmap. It still uses a triangle strip but only 4 multitexture spots. If it needs a 5th texture it ends the triangle strip and swaps out the least recently used texture and starts again. This is with GLSL btw.

akadajet
Sep 14, 2003

That looks neat. When you say you are ending the triangle strip, are you manipulating the geometry in shader code?

Contero
Mar 28, 2004

No, I'm handling that outside the shader. I'm not sure it's possible within the shader. I only learned GLSL two days ago and did a little Cg (ugh) before that.

My current weekend project is one of those procedural planet things.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kx_4EmlQiyQ

That video shows 1/6 of a sphere. Each of those squares is a 65x65 piece of the mesh. The terrain is generated using Perlin noise on demand. As you can see, I've got a ways to go before it starts looking like a planet.

That was really impressive - did the color indicate different detail levels paging in and out?

It's for Windows at the moment, but I've tried to keep it vaguely portable. If you want to have a play, then it's available as code or prebuilt from Github.

I'm currently adding the properties dialog below to the ship editor. It's currently read only.
