Clavius posted:Link to the Past engine in HTML Canvas. Hooray! This is pretty amazing so far. Good for a personal project, but I would change the character, story and graphics a bit into a new game instead of releasing a Zelda because Nintendo is known to go after sites like this. Also, I know this is a really early version, but if this helps out at all, when I went up over the vertical bridge, and tried to go back down it wouldn't let me. I fell off the ledge and went back up the stairs and across the bridge and back the other way to test it again, and it worked. So it looks like there's some kind of bug going on there.

Good for a personal project, but I would change the character, story and graphics a bit into a new game instead of releasing a Zelda because Nintendo is known to go after sites like this. It's just got Link on it because that's the kind of thing I was going for for an engine. I might make a game out of it later or something and would make my own thing though, I know what nintendo can be like. I'm trying to replicate that bug with the bridge and can't seem to get it to happen. There's a bug when you're in water or on ice I'll be fixing shortly that can stop you moving for a while, but I can't seem to get anything else to break there. If you can replicate it and tell me the conditions that would be awesome. quote:That's fantastic! It's just javascript with html canvas elements, check out the source of the page. I've commented as much as I can for my own sanity. It is by no stretch of the imagination the cleanest thing I've ever written though, so don't get too excited. There's a lot of lines like this: if (ls[grid_down][x][br_n1]!='1'&&ls[c_grid_down][x][br_n3]<=ls[grid_down][x][br_n3]) { jumpmatch = false; } Where ls is the landscape array, grid down is the lowest y coordinate of your projected location when pressing the down key, x is the current x co-ordinate looping from the left-most coordinate of your current location to the right most. Doing it in a loop like that allows collision boundaries of any size against a grid with tiles of any size. The landscape array is structured like this: +- Y coordinate +-+- X coordinate +-+-+- Landscape tile behaviour (walkable, non-walkable, diagonal top left, etc) +-+-+- Landscape tile attribute (ice, water, shallow water, ladder, etc) +-+-+- Landscape tile z-index br_n1 is checking the bridge layer co-ordinate for its behaviour. 1 is non-walkable. So. At this point we are pushing down, checking the row of projected co-ordinates below for non-walkable tiles. That's the first part. Now. c_grid_down is the lowest y co-ordinate of your current location. x is the same x co-ordinate as previously explained. br_n3 is that bridge layer co-ordinates z-index. If that is lower or equal to the z-index of the projected co-ordinate, then cancel the jump_match trigger. This is just for jumping off bridges, and there's a few more checks attached to it too. If it goes through it triggers the frame countdown to set off a jump calculation and subsequent animation/movement. If it fails the countdown is reset. It has four different ones for each direction, and that's a tiny tiny part of the whole thing. It's loving enormous. I hope that made sense, because it barely did to me typing it. E: Don't know why I dumped one of the more complicated things about it here, the basics aren't that scary. I was going to write up a blog post about it at some point.

   Got water somewhat working. Still need to make it threadsafe and then make ocean water. I could probably use this type of water for the ocean, but I think that'd take way too much overhead.

I just really like the mountain ranges that it generates and the beach isn't too far away, so I stick with it for testing. You should definitely create a dev blog. If anything, it's neat to look back and see how much progress you've made. I've also made some friends through my blog that have helped me along the way. Shoot me a message on here or on my blog if you do create one.. I'd definitely read.

I've been putting a lot of work into improving my programming skills with my work on TerrariViewer and I want to get into something more advanced (such as a game). I have a few ideas and reading your blog and seeing your videos motivates me to just start with something and go from there. Before seeing your stuff, I had been blocking myself because I put this standard in my head and then I tell myself that I will never be able to meet it. Thanks a lot, I'll definitely be starting up a blogspot like yours. I agree that it helps with motivation because you can see just how far you have come.

I like Avalon 3D (WPF's 3D scene graph), but it's really feature-starved in some pretty important and fundamental areas. Like it doesn't sort transparent triangles. Hilarious. Rather than just use SlimDX and get on with it, I thought I'd implement my own renderer of the same dataset and add the features I want through attached properties and new subclasses. Nothing like expending dozens of times the effort for the same result. First thing is to get it to the same capability level, hence: A movie in a brush unfortunately requires pattern-matching to apply a hack because RenderTargetBitmap doesn't work properly with VisualBrushes containing MediaElements; I'm guessing it's because RenderTargetBitmap uses software rendering. I can leverage my hack to render to a texture first before copying over to the RenderTargetBitmap, but then the Avalon 3D control doesn't render properly for some reason. I'm surprised I'm having fun doing this, it's usually completely infuriating to have code not work because of factors outside my control (in other words, doing anything at all with WPF).

My copy of Concrete Mathematics arrived yesterday so I put up a whiteboard, a trip to the stationery shop to get a few more bits and pieces and I'm really to learn some mad skills. Wish me luck.. hah. Thinkin about some kind of high sitting chair to put between the desk and the board with a book stand on the desk to make things more comfortable.. hrmm.. either way, whiteboard is drat handy not just for doing sums and poo poo but helping to visualise software ideas and whatnot. (Of course have a thousand whiteboards in the office but never had one at home)

I've only skimmed through a little bit so far but from what I've read they are very nice books and are also rated very highly as far as I know. My maths isn't strong enough to do fully understand them or do the exercises, so I'm about to crack into Concrete Mathematics. I don't have much of a mathematics background and never went to university so having been programming for a few years now I'm trying to gain some new perspectives to attack when approaching challenges in software design. As well as giving me a solid ground if I would want to do a degree eventually (which would be absolute cakewalk compared to these textbooks). I have no doubt these books are gonna do the trick.

redleader: AWT drawing and events normally occur on their own thread. I'm using synchronized blocks so that no other threads will be able to modify the springs or masses collections if they're being used. This ensures that the call to paint() will not interleave with tick() or reset(). If you take out those blocks, you'll find that the app occasionally generates a ConcurrentModificationException. Make sense?

Also it might be worth noting that the CSS for the "VimTax was created by..." thing breaks on my work computer and shows up in the middle of the page, probably not a big deal though since I'm running Debian and whatever old-as-hell version of Firefox/Iceweasel they ship with it - it works on what Firefox is included with Linux Mint.
