Good Sphere posted:New filter I’ve been working on (iPhone) I feel quite good about, except it’s not yet optimized for video capture because it will kill your battery. We’re looking at 59% CPU for video capture vs 19% for previewing the effect live when taking a photo. Sweet! You could lower the dpi of the preview filter?

Keetron posted:Sweet! Possibly, but that doesn't help much for what's going into the pixel buffer for video capture. What I did instead is lower the frame rate to a heinous 10 fps, though it looks acceptable; kind of reminiscent of the music video for ah-ha's "Take On Me".

A friend and I made an augmented reality tour app for Gettysburg. Here are some screenshots.     Also, here's a promo video we made for it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a4akHzNQjB8 The biggest technical challenge is tracking rotation correctly. Phone hardware just isn't great at this. Generally, the magnetometer is used to correct gyroscopic drift, but we can't use that because a bunch of the tour stops are on top of giant metal towers that completely screw up the compass readings. So we mostly just track raw gyroscopic rotation, and try to do minor compensation for drift as best we can. There are solutions that use the camera to help, by analyzing the image to help track rotation, but I'm pretty concerned about battery life when doing something like that. Also, I just haven't had time to even try implementing something different there.

Now that I think about it, half the time I look at my phone the compass is pointing the wrong direction.

Now that I think about it, half the time I look at my phone the compass is pointing the wrong direction. Android APIs basically do that already. They perform sensor fusion and who knows what else, to give more accurate results. Not 100% sure how Apple does it - their compass readings seem to lag way more, and we had a bunch of difficulty getting it to work as nicely as on Android. But there are a few problems. First, it's really easy for the compass (magnetometer) to get screwed up, which is what moving your phone in a figure 8 motion is supposed to correct. That generally works pretty well, assuming there's nothing else causing problems. Second (and the problem we're having the most trouble with), is that external forces can completely invalidate the data from the compass. Standing on a big metal tower causes it to pretty much spin randomly as you move around. So we have to use raw gyroscopic data, and attempt to compensate for the inherent drift.

Here's my proof-of-concept for a dinky little drink suggestion app that I've been working on. The only cocktails in the database so far are Gin and Tonic and Screwdriver. I'm very much a front-end developer, and this was my first time working with Python, Flask, and Docker, so I'm pretty happy with how this is turning out. The API supports a lot more things like users, user preferences, and all the CRUD operators for ingredients and cocktails, so I still need to flesh out the front-end to consume all of it I need to get my hands on a cocktail recipe book

 On and off, I have been working on making a game in C#. I figured that I would need a scripting language, so I decided to re-implement Lua 5.3 entirely in C#.

you're parsing that big string as lua? that's pretty impressive but I just gotta ask, you know lua is like designed to be embedded right, practically plug & play

I could not readily tell from looking at nlua if it had any native code in it. That would be a problem for Unity, for example. I should probably shut up though because I am basically handwriting a C# green threading Python 3.6 interpreter. So I share the same kind of mental disorder...

leper khan posted:I’ve integrated and shipped native DLLs in unity to mobile platforms. Where would it be a problem? You had to rebuild them for those platforms though. Yeah it's possible--assuming you had source. Well, I assume you suffered some cross-compilation woes while doing it. I can imagine somebody putting that work on the balance against making a managed version. Edit: Yeah it shouldn't be a problem for something like a Lua interpreter that prides itself on being embedded, but I'm talking in general here. I'm giving some of my colleagues the benefit of the doubt when they have trouble with compiling stuff that they're not just stupid or something. It's definitely a skill and people do take it for granted. So plenty of people look at cross-compilation and nope out. Rocko Bonaparte fucked around with this message at 16:56 on Apr 14, 2019 |

hello thread i am working on a bad free android game called Hello Thank You (store link). It's a collection of half-baked mini games: Birthday Party. Invite different creators to your birthday party. Then go to your birthday party.  Button Buddies: A button with a global press count. Hold for 1 second to add 1 to the count.  Home Run: Drive a rail car backwards as far as you want, then forward, then swing. Goal is to hit the ball as far as you can. Includes leader board.

This came up in the chart & graph thread and the people seemed to like it, so I'll repost it here. Back in 2017 I tried to make some simple football game with Unity (either an actual game or at least AI sandbox). I got distracted by other projects but the gifs turned out to be quite amusing. The very first test, just running towards the ball and not overlapping with the other players: https://i.imgur.com/ymwL9jq.gifv Tackling and dribbling the ball towards the goal: https://i.imgur.com/fNeWBTh.mp4 Some simple animations: https://i.imgur.com/TS66T8e.mp4 Trying to get to the correct position in the formation (and constantly overshooting): https://i.imgur.com/YaEhEgq.gifv Only closest guys targeting the ball: https://i.imgur.com/X3erV0L.gifv I dunno: https://i.imgur.com/VHRPlMY.mp4 Kennel fucked around with this message at 20:06 on Apr 29, 2019 |

I've been working on this for the last 4 months: https://captionwars.com/ There are a few bugs to work out (it falls over in IE, for example). It's a Node/Express/React/Mongodb app. It began as a learning project but as it progressed I've kinda started hoping people might actually like it and use it.

Aurium posted:These are magical, and I hope you make more. I kind of promised to pick it up again. A big challenge is to keep it interesting longer than few minutes. There needs to be enough variation in the player actions because football game itself is rather static environment (although that could be changed as well, since this isn't a serious simulation).

I was thinking of the Mutant League series. Do something like Blitz, but soccer, and allow hot substitutions like hockey. Players get hurt/dismembered, hobble to the sideline based on how injured they are, and are replaced once they're over the line. No offsides, no fouls, just full contact soccer where taking out opposing players can as important as playing the ball. I realize that's just Aus Football now but still...

There was an original Xbox game that was some sort of full-contact basketball-type-thing set in a dystopian future. My friends and I figured out that there was a game mechanic where, if you beat up a member of the other team enough, they'd be out injured and not replaced, so we'd always spend the first round or period (of 3, I think) injuring as much of the other team as possible instead of scoring. Usually we'd win be default. That was kinda fun for a couple nights but it got old pretty fast because neither the fighting nor the sportsball aspects were all that engaging.
