I'm building a new Logo interpreter to serve as the heart of an educational puzzle game I'm working on.





It's still in development, but the current release is fairly usable. Check it out: https://github.com/JohnEarnest/MLogo

Internet Janitor posted:

This new one is written in straight Java, I'm afraid. See above for the github page. My older Logo interpreter, Loko, was written in Forth and ran on a VM I designed which happened to be implemented in Java, and did qualify as "Logo in Forth on Java" or perhaps "a vm in a vm in a vm".

This new one is written in a more conventional language because it's a small part of a very ambitious video game concept I'm pursuing wherein the player learns to speak the forgotten tongue of an ancient turtle-oriented civilization by exploring a series of ruins and solving (programming) puzzles.



It's sort of the same idea as my earlier game Forth Warrior, except with more story, more puzzle variety and (hopefully) accessible to complete beginners. I have a lot of work ahead of me.

Working title,

Where might it iPad?

I will be publishing it for iPad, eventually. It's the right resolution & style of game, and everything is touch-friendly already (no right-mouse clicks etc). Focusing on pc/mac/linux release first though.

I really like the graphical quality, and I keep meaning to check out your games. I guess I really don't know until I play it, but it seems like it would get a little distracting blinking at that slow of a rate at first, though I like the idea of the player blinking in and out of invisibility when taking damage, and enemies blinking red when they take damage. Does foes take damage in your game?

I think Dish is referencing your font being a tiny bit illegible.

Working on my MIDI / OSC controller for iPad, spinoff of TC-11. I'm 1/3 of the way through the new OpenGL visualizations, and here is a go with all the visualizations turned on:

drat thats the kind of stuff I've always wanted to make. Music plugins with good visualizations. Are you hiring?

Ator posted:

Ideally, I'd like to write a board solver that builds temporary child boards in a decision tree, where each node in the tree stores what the board would look like after a gem swap. I still need to add logic for the hypercubes (can be matched w/ any gem), flame gems (explodes an area), and star gems (eliminates a row+column).

Any chance this will hit Android, too? This looks amazing to use. Alternatively, are you interested in developing an Android version? This is definitely the kind of project I can get behind.

You've got a fluid UI that doesn't break horribly after repeated actions, that's something to be proud of.

It took me two days to get this working:


(thank paint for loving up the transparency on this one)

Such that the form for the attribute names (the "Field N:" labels/text fields) could grow and shrink without leaving behind widgets and making the whole thing look like rear end. (It looks like rear end anyway.)

Turns out that in Qt if you want to remove elements from a form layout the easiest way to do it is to delete the widget that contains the form layout, recreate it, repopulate any static elements of that layout, then add as many rows as you now need.

I know there are a million online converters but I needed to be able to run this on files containing sensitive data (hence the black bar screenshot) and I couldn't find anything downloadable.

Or you should probably not have fields generated like that. Surely a table would be more appropriate?

bobua posted:

Been working on reading my own version of a bar code at high speeds. With debug output I can only do about 5ish fps, but I've gotten it up to over 100fps on a 2.2mp image sensor.

The 2 white dot things behind the back window are the stickers, the squiggly lines everywhere are just debug information overlayed on the video to help me make adjustments.

I am but a pathetic mortal among gods in this thread, but I've been trying to teach myself C# (and by consequence, OOP) in my spare time the last few days and made a this:



simple random color generator with special infinite-random-color-selection mode.

I am was proud of myself (before reading this thread.)

Pseudo-God posted:

Nice work! An obvious improvement is the addition of a textbox with the hex code of the color. So in addition to the color 63, 127, 254, you can also output #3f7ffe. This is useful to people who need the color in that format, specifically web developers, who can just copy put paste it.

For some reason that screenshot was really slow loading for me, but that is cool as hell. What's that written in, GPU accelerated at all?

Today, documentation! I forget how many little things I've added into the codebase since the last release, and it all needs to be documented properly. I wrote these four new (unedited) documentation pages today and made some updates in a few other parts of the manual:



I'm going to be working on this documentation until the day I die. On the bright side, the download stats for BeagleSNES show over 2500 unique downloads from over 60 countries around the world. A lot of people are giving it a try.

Ahhhhhhhhhh you said 'power usage of 100mA'

I thought it was WAAAYYY passed time that I got my fingers in to the gif pie. I spent the whole day today setting up the my game to make this possible, capturing the ideal footage, editing it all, and then working out the crazy process to get 20 seconds of fast action video into a sub 2MB gif.

Here's the result:


I've recently been adding Challenge Arenas to the game. These are special areas that really challenge the player in exchange for high level loot.
The image below is of one such challenge arena. Each hole in the wall has a big pillar that comes out of it like the one seen in the middle. These animate and change the shape of the room while the player fights off five waves of enemies.


The game's called NeonXSZ (pronounced Neon Excesses) and is a cyberspace dogfighting fps. I've put well over 4000 hours of work into this puppy and if you want to see it on Steam you know what to do and I'd appreciate your help.

concise posted:

What this guy is trying to say is that in Section 6.2, "power usage of 100mA" should read "current draw of 100mA" or "power usage of 500mW."

Your documentation kicks rear end. The amount of effort you've put into it is impressive and it looks very professional. More open source projects should emulate your style.
