These ended up out of order, gently caress it.                   Download current version:  Still to do: -Major pain-in-the-rear end redo of all text labels, since I started on this in 2006 the text rendering is all over the place and I'd like to just get it down to a system that's easy to call. Hence many missing/misplaced/missized text labels all over the place. Time attack modes are mostly the way I want them to be. -More work on powerups/powerdowns and ship upgrades. -More ships -Better menu system -Implement the drat controls screen -Online high score tracking -Clean up hud/minimap -Add more visual effects -Vs CPU modes soon, multiplayer eventually -Probably get rid of score modes Notes if you want to play it: ~ key expands the tube, Q gives a boost. Both require the power meter to be above a certain point, you can use the bubbler during a boost but there's no visual indication of that. That's going to be majorly improved when I overhaul the HUD. S brakes, but it's not very effective for now. The yellow line just tells you which way the tube is going after a certain distance ahead of you, so only use it as a guideline. edit: Video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=13Nu9t7yvNc Xerol fucked around with this message at 15:25 on Nov 13, 2010 |

Okay, only a screenshot of code but it's cool if you're into generic programming. Over the past month or so I've been working on a couple of crazy preprocessor and template metaprogrammed libraries for generic programming and for automatically deducing function return types in C++. With them you can write concepts and concept maps, including auto concept maps, perform concept checking similar to BCCL, and even do concept-based overloading of function templates -- no more having to explicitly do tag-dispatching to simulate it in C++! You have to use very magical-looking macros but the end result is more concise code with less boiler-plate when, for instance, dispatching to different overloads based on which concept refinements certain arguments model. The example shows something akin to std::advance. Click here for the full 1015x1172 image.

ColdPie posted:You used a bunch of big words, but to summarize, is this at all similar to the Concepts feature that didn't make it into C++0x? Yes, it is that (or tries to be an extremely close approximation). Since we likely won't see direct language support for a long time as it's had to be cut from C++0x, and given how long standardization takes, a library is the best that can be done while still being portable between many compilers. At this point in time only GCC has all of the C++0x features necessary to make this library usable. For an example concept definition, let's say you want to specify a concept that represents the base abstraction of an Iterator (the requirements are based on the requirements in the C++0x working draft at 24.2.2, page 816). With my library you'd use the following syntax, though I already provide this definition in a header you can include: code:The remaining parameters are optional to the macro and can even appear in any order (this is one reason why the libraries are so big -- I simulate named parameter passing in macros). The "using" parameter is how you specify concept refinement. An Iterator is a refinement of CopyAssignable, CopyConstructible, Destructible, and Swappable (all of which I have defined in other files), meaning that it has the requirements of all of them combined and also specifies a relationship between them that may be used for, for instance, concept-based dispatch. As an example of that, if you have two simulated function template overloads using my Auto_Function library, one overload for "CopyConstructible" models and another for "Iterator", the Iterator one would be picked if you passed in an std::vector< int >::iterator since it would be a better match -- most importantly, it is NOT an ambiguous call even though it is both CopyConstructible and an Iterator. For that example there isn't much reason to write overloads like that, but for algorithms such as std::advance this is extremely important as you have to dispatch to different implementations inside of std::advance based on which kind of iterator your parameter models in order for it to be linear for InputIterators and constant time for RandomAccessIterators. The "if typedef" parameter specifies that the parameters specified must exist and must be types. Here we are checking that it has the appropriate iterator_traits defined, as required by the standard. The "if" parameter specifies that those conditions must hold true. First we check that difference_type is a signed type. Then we verify that dereferencing and prefix operator++ are defined and each have the correct return type. The above is currently how I have Iterator implemented, however, it will get even somewhat simpler very soon. Right now I'm creating "for" and "for typedef" parameter types that let you specify names for commonly used typedefs and objects. This means that you wouldn't have to fully specify things like typename iterator_traits< X >::difference_type every single time you use them, and you wouldn't have to use std::declval at all. This makes the concept definitions more concise and also makes it possible for them to look very similar to the tables in the standard -- even using the same names for given objects and types. For an example of how RandomAccessIterator (C++0x working draft reference 24.2.7, page 820) would look once I finish implementing "for" and "for typedef". I encourage you to compare the table in the working draft with the following code. The single letter names are used because they are what are used in the standard: code:The concepts I've shown don't declare associated types or functions since there's no such thing as them with respect to the standard in the concept map sense (as concept maps in the standard don't exist other than "sort of" via traits classes). Of course, direct associated types and functions will be supported eventually and will be able to be mapped to, but I want to be able to support all of the concepts in the standard first. It's also a much harder facility to implement in macros, mostly do to me having to come up with a textual representation to be able to parse and translate with the C++ preprocessor. Now how do you write concept maps? Since I don't yet support associated functions and types, they have very sparse definitions. The following is an "auto" concept map (similar to auto concepts that would have been in C++0x). It specifies that all types are automatically considered RandomAccessIterators if they meet the requirements specified in the concept definition. Right now, you have to provide a name for the concept map, but I may be able to remove that. Either way, it will likely be optional since I can use it to provide better error reporting. code:The screenshot linked in my other post shows how you can use the concepts when writing something like std::advance. You may be able to figure out what it's doing by reading it, but I can explain it if necessary. That Turkey Story fucked around with this message at 23:17 on Nov 30, 2010 |

I forgot one more big plus. Improved error reporting. When you write templates you generally expect your parameter types to models of particular concepts (I.E. std::sort requires random access iterators and if you provide something else you'd get a gross kaboom). The Boost Concept Check library provides some help in this case, but my library should be able to go one step further, though admittedly I haven't gotten to that step yet. Because of the nature of the concept definitions as macros and because I do all of my concept checking via SFINAE as opposed to compiler errors, I am able to provide exact error messages as to what a user did wrong. For instance: code:RandomAccessIterator is not modeled by ( std::list< int >::iterator ) Further, for auto concept maps, I could even give a message that says exactly why it does not model that concept (again, Iterators shouldn't have fully auto concept maps, I'm just using them for the sake of example): code:RandomAccessIterator is not modeled because the arguments do not satisfy the condition in auto_random_access_iterator_map ( if ( is_same< decltype( r += n ), X& > ) ) After I implement "for" and "for" typedef, the above types of error reporting are only a couple steps down on my list of features to implement next.

Tw1tchy posted:Wow, that looks It's the case because the overall gameplay style of Nethack, etc is extremely, extremely niche. Most gamers don't want that kind of detail, and so devs with the money to do real graphics don't try. It drives me nuts because roguelike devs can be really dogmatic, faithfully reproducing control schemes that verged on asinine in the 80s, utterly failing to use visual cues for important stuff (like getting poisoned or having your gear damaged), and so on. When someone suggests encorporating roguelike elements into a game that isn't a dungeon crawl with perma death there's always someone to act like it's blasphemy.

Thanks, Blue Footed Booby and Tw1tchy. I tried to make Monsterland intuitive. When you run low on health, your "P" changes color and starts "bleeding". When in tank, it starts to "smoke" before blowing up. Combat is realtime, WASD moves, numpad shoots in 8 directions. There are a few items, like axes (to make boats, and for instant melee wins) and boats to get over water. And boots to get over toxic swamp. And I'm working on torch. And possibly reintroduction of gold. It used to run in real textmode, but Windows Vista+ disabled that ability in the OS, so now it uses emulation via OpenGL.

Mustach posted:I was expecting a hideous macro mess, but this is very readable. Awesome work! Thanks. I've put a lot more time than I originally had expected I would into making it usable and to have it look as readable as possible. During development I've gotten more intimate with preprocessor metaprogramming and came up with more strange preprocessor and template hacks than I've ever wanted to. For instance, each of those "if" parameters in the first example can actually be either a valid mpl integral constant type or a bool value. A user may provide either or and mix and match them in the same invocation. The way I do it is I rely on the fact that bool ( something ) is a function type that returns bool and takes a "something" when "something" is a type, whereas it is a cast to a bool when "something" is a value. So what the macro does internally is effectively: decltype( compile_time_bool< bool( something ) >() ) where "compile_time_bool" is a function template overloaded as such: code:Over the past couple of days though, I've considering changing design a bit. I realized that if I'm careful, I can make it so that the implementation of my macro could be updated to expand out to hypothetical C++1x concepts whenever they come to be. Consider if I change my design to take the following approach: code:I'm not sure I like how this looks when compared to my current code, but in theory, this design should be just as capable only I would be able to optionally translate it during preprocessing to what C++0x concepts used to look like in the last working paper. That way, once concepts eventually do become standard (some standard after C++0x of course), or at least supported by more compilers as extensions, code written using the library would most-likely be able to just swap out the back-end of my macro and be able to use their compiler's concept implementation underneath the hood. It's unfortunate I realized this so late in development since I already put so much work into the current design. I may just continue on as I have been for now and implement the above design in a manner that uses my current macro in its implementation.

I got a new MacBook Air and thought I could find a better use for the eject key. If you don't have a USB DVD drive connected (and I never do), the eject key does exactly nothing and cannot be easily remapped. So I made this little app that, when you press Eject, lists ejectable volumes. You can arrow up and down and eject a volume by hitting Return. It also groups volumes by device, and you can eject all volumes on one device too. (Anyone who's been bitched out by Finder for daring to unmount one of multiple partitions on an external hard drive will understand the value here.) Works with disk images and network shares as well as external drives. edit: Let's try Waffle. edit: No more Waffle. pokeyman fucked around with this message at 23:56 on Dec 4, 2010 |
