Yea I've been unable to find a theme I like more than the default. Maybe lovely high contrast white just suits me anymore (could never use white mIRC). I really want to like them though - even the stock blueish would probably be nice on the eyes if I could just get used to it.

Adventures in disassembling CHIP-8 games: it's weird bugs all the way down. I think I'm starting to develop a mild phobia of borrow flags. More info here.

 Point data for the Stanford bunny. I've looped back around to c++ and OpenGL. I'm going to try my hand at marching cubes and dual contouring with these. Should be fun.

Gonna spice up my VS. I used to use light on dark schemes all the time when I was younger, but lately I've been all about varying dark on light schemes, mostly because there doesn't exist an OS that universally looks good with a dark theme :/ (always one damned app that won't fit in)

Baby's first compiler I picked lisp-like syntax since I figured it's easier to write parser for it. I haven't implemented branching yet, but you can call functions and pass arguments as well as use the return values. Whole thing runs on a simple stack based vm.

I see you're in Visual Studio. Did you start from scratch or are you using the CLR? Building your own VM is pretty cool. So would be ValtisLisp.NET.

Lisp syntax maps into abstract syntax tree almost perfectly, and it's pretty straightforward to generate the bytecode from AST. KernelSlanders posted:I see you're in Visual Studio.

It isn't particularly impressive though, at the moment it supports only basic arithmetic operations, push, pop, and printing operations.

Making VMs and toolchains for them is a lot of fun. I worked on this thing for years. The possibilities for new debuggers, programming languages, standard libraries, runtime ports and so on are endless. If you're working with a stack architecture you should definitely consider adding a second stack- use one to track subroutine return addresses (and local variables if you need 'em) and the other to carry out computations. This makes it possible to avoid a lot of unpleasant stack shuffling and the need for operations like roll or pick. The PostScript VM has several more stacks for managing graphics, fonts, vocabularies and so on.

Writing languages in general is fun. It's even easier if you can stand to lean on an existing platform like the .NET CLR or JVM because they're so well-featured. We wrote a little language on the JVM in grad school and had a good time with it. Abstract syntax tress are an essential data structure to understand. That structure also lends itself well to the visitor pattern when you get to the point of converting that structure into machine code. glompix fucked around with this message at 07:14 on Aug 29, 2014 |

They did but interestingly I've run into a few situations where Chrome really chugs. The worst one involves blitting between a canvas thats smaller than 256x256 and one that's larger. Doing that can be a few orders of magnitude slower than blitting between canvases that are both larger or both smaller than that size.

HappyHippo posted:Seriously, I'm working on an RTS in javascript right now. It requires a pretty decent computer but the fact that it's possible at all is amazing. Cool game! Pretty challenging too, luckily the AI prioritizes turrets over the workers that repair them  The loading takes a minute or two, and the game runs at like 15-25fps for me, on a pretty mediocre 4GB intel quad core @ 2.83GHz.

Getting about the same on a laptop with Core i5-2540M @ 2.60GHz and 8GB of RAM. Pretty cool. Just took me a second to figure out what was going on because I couldn't build a refinery on the point that was near where I spawned for some reason.

30fps on a i7-3770 on Linux. Dipped to 17 after about 15 minutes when I started to lose (I'm really bad at RTS) e: also I was losing turrets that were showing as undamaged. not sure how that worked.

It has been a little while since I posted any BeagleBone Black Android stuff, so here you go: I've been working on getting a streamlined build system running for Android on the BBB. So far, I've replaced the Rowboat build system's Linux kernel to the latest patched 3.8.13 version (with capemgr support), replaced the bootloader and compiler toolchain with newer versions, and added in a package that I made for I2C-Tools (shown running in the screenshot). Aside from that, there have been a lot of cleanups to various Android config files so that you can avoid all of the screwing around that you had to do in my old Android build process. Capemgr support recently was accepted into the mainline 3.17 kernel, which will hopefully (finally) give us a kernel with stable USB, hardware-accelerated OpenGL ES, and the capemgr. I can only hope. Oh, and BeagleSNES seems to be getting more popular these days: AdaFruit Blog BricoGeek Blog Dr. Maker Blog  I get more and more mails like "why won't BeagleSNES work with my gamepad that comes from South Korea and has no Linux drivers???", which I suppose is par for the course. I also get a ton of mail about Android and BeagleSNES in Portuguese, Spanish, French, and all sorts of crazy Eastern European languages. I actually manage to help a lot of these people out, thanks to Google Translate. It probably doesn't help that some of my magazine articles are being localized and published in a variety of languages. For anyone that happens to be a student attending Embry-Riddle's Daytona Beach campus, I'll be giving a talk at your school on next Thursday (lucky September 11th). I'll be talking about the use and visualization of metadata:    Exciting! And I hear they have free cookies and stuff at these things, too, so you should definitely show up, get some food, and listen to me ramble on about Super Mario Brothers for an hour or so. hendersa fucked around with this message at 04:16 on Sep 4, 2014 |

I tried to make the most obnoxiously "art" game ever so it's kinda like flappy bird, but with a crow in the snow where you have to dodge lines of a Slyvia Plath poem while Nine Inch Nails plays (the mysterious death at 5 points is because this was recorded prior to me stripping out line breaks in the poem). It's impossible to tell from the recording, but there's a moving noise background also. Love2d makes writing games like this stupidly easy and it's sorta amazing. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OkJgclx0cco

clockwork automaton: very artistic. It looks like you're using the bounding box of the entire crow animation for collision- you might be better off creating a tighter collision box for each frame.

Also worth mentioning, if you're interested in writing games (~art~ or otherwise) you should check out the #SAGameDev irc channel on irc.synirc.net. There are a handful of Love2D users floating around and it's easy to find people willing to try out games or give feedback.
