I love the fact that the tablecloth looks like you've got some cloth physics and then it just stays totally rigid.

I've been watching the GIFs, and wondering what the heck it was going to be. Basically: Tea making simulator 2015, but that's not to say it won't have a bunch of other pieces.

Meanwhile in Enterprise land, sales is looking at $80k for this: So that's not the app, that's some internal thing that crashes like crazy. It is not the content as that is way more and needs separate licenses for ISIN, CUSIP, SEDOL, and GICS from somewhere or other, it is for simple moving and transforming the data from point A to point B. The idea is to reduce the effort required for the end-developer to reliably access the content without learning a new API. And whats the content? It is mapping between different financial codes because Reuters has their own symbology and IP lawyers so it is also painful to move between Bloomberg, Reuters, and IDC for content.

Probably cheaper to just get some interns to do whatever you need done by hand.

clockwork automaton posted:flip - unflip  So, I recently picked up and began reworking my original BeagleBone Black cape hardware designed to interface with SNES gamepads. I expanded the design a bit and juggled it around to fit the actual SNES connectors onto the cape board. The schematic is still largely the same, though I'm using gamepad connectors rather than a molex connector to a wiring harness:  Doing the layout was quite a learning experience:  The renders of the layout look workable:   This cape board, coupled with my software work, should turn the BBB into a retrogaming console. Aside from accepting the two SNES gamepads, the cape also adds a battery-backed real-time clock and has the proper EEPROM in place to report the revision and capebus position of the cape for automatic enumeration and device tree overlay loading. Right now, the programmable real-time unit (PRU) firmware code to interface with the gamepads via this cape is a mere 57 bytes when assembled. I need to test it a bit more and review my hardware design more thoroughly. Once that is done, I will send the design off to Dirty PCBs and have a prototype run of boards made up.

Looks like it's common for people to try this one time or another. Hopefully I'm up at bat soon. I think I'm going to use Javascript just to remind myself it won't matter much what I use.

RoboCicero posted:This rules! What method are you using for the shader? Are you distorting the screen + 1 pixel mosaic line randomly sprinkled into the image? There's a bit more to the overlay that what is visible in the gif. Basically distorting the screen and then overlaying a VHS rewind texture from a movie file of an actual VHS rewind.

I like esoteric languages as much as the next programmer but if I was trying to actually write a game in brainfuck (for whatever stupid reason) I think I'd just work on something like a C to brainfuck interpreter instead first.  Is that cheating?

No, that sounds sane... And at the same time yes cheating. Just don't tell anyone!

I was working through my to-do list, and I decided to dust off my 3D printer and try to get the thing calibrated. I had awful luck with it previously and gave up on it after spending about 12 hours (and a lot of filament) trying to get it working properly. To start with, this thing is not a high-end printer: Adafruit was having a super special deal on these "build it yourself" Printrbot Maker 1405 kits ($350), so I grabbed one as soon as I received their mail about the offer. It was a good thing, too, since the whole inventory of them sold out in about an hour. After finally digging back in for about four hours last night, I managed to get this thing mostly running. This involved hardware calibration on the Z-stop sensor, flashing new firmware to the controller board, trying a new type of PLA filament, and manually adjusting the start/stop offsets (the G-code M212 settings).  The top row are all with the initial firmware, which extruded too fast. You can see it getting better (going left to right), but it was still a mess. I changed to the new filament (the black stuff) and had better luck, but it was still extruding too fast (left two). I raised the extruder tip via the Z-stop sensor and ended up dragging the extruder through less of the filament (middle black one). Finally, updating the firmware resulted in slower extrusion, which fixed the key problem of too much filament being squirted out. Some M212 adjustments and I just about had it (rightmost black one). I set up a webcam pointing at the printer so that I didn't have to keep turning around to keep tabs on it during the production run:  Look at that sucker go!   So what comes next? And how does this stuff tie into my Beagle Entertainment System software work?   My PCB design for the BeagleBone BES cape has been sent to Hong Kong for fabrication. I made a few adjustments to the previous design to add in a status LED and a "menu" button (to bring up the pause menu):  It looks like I might just end up with my "SNES in the palm of your hand" after all! And with native SNES gamepad interfacing, to boot. After I get the PCBs back and test out the initial PCB design, I should think about a Kickstarter to produce a limited run (like 50 or 100) of these things. If anyone has experience with Kickstarter for this sort of thing and has some advice, shoot me a PM and fill me in. hendersa fucked around with this message at 17:48 on Jul 29, 2015 |

Just to make sure you don't run into any problems down the road, that definitely looks more like the 1401 model, not the 1405. Could be important for finding upgrades online or selecting the proper firmware settings. quote:I set up a webcam pointing at the printer so that I didn't have to keep turning around to keep tabs on it during the production run: Shameless self promotion: Take a look at OctoPrint  Runs on a BBB (or Pi or whatever else you might have lying around, my guess is the BBB is most likely however given your own project) and allows you to get rid of the PC for controlling the printer plus has a live webcam feed too, all in your browser. And since this is the screenshot thread:

Germstore posted:No, as long as you write the interpreter itself in brainfuck. Nah that's silly, what you do is you write the c to brainfuck interpreter in C, and then when you're done you simply feed the program into itself and whala, free brianfuck interpreter in brainfuck! No actual brainfuck ever has to be written. (Although you would have to understand it to write the c compiler  )Its a compiler ouroboros!

A while back I posted about a K interpreter I've been writing. Last night I started tinkering with a project I call iKe: It's a browser-based IDE for writing games and interactive graphical sketches using K. It's very fun to see how much can be written in a few lines of actual code and some arrays of static data. If there's interest I can show some additional screenshots as I develop more involved examples with the system.

Yeah I was about to say the same. Raycasting is old school Wolf3D style FPS engines. Raytracing is modern super fancy light-physics based rendering. Easy to mix em up (I had a moment once where I was like "no loving way is wolf3d using a raytracer"  )

UncleBlazer posted:Yeah, glitch bear looks really good as is. What're you doing to achieve that? Yeah, I was probably gonna keep glitch bear looking like that, but I am gonna add an option to turn the blinking off since I don't want to murder people's eyes. I have a shader that's basically this detail shader in screen space (some custom stuff for rim shading and whatnot added in) and the glitching is actually a gif a converted to an mov and then in code I'm setting the texture for the shader to a MovieTexture and then playing it.

I've been working on a Unity asset for a minute now that's finally starting to come together. It's a procedural generation framework that's intended to pretty easily slot in to existing or newly-created projects. It's an additional component that stores nodes with position information and a heading quaternion. You add the component to your game objects and define plug and socket nodes, and tag them. On generation, the component looks at the sockets on your object, and picks out appropriately-tagged plugs. It creates a hierarchy of plugs and sockets, then recursively iterates through the hierarchy to instantiate the objects into the game world and align them with each other. Pretty rough (I used older free Unity assets) to run through a little demo this morning:  Placing sockets (each socket can be given a % chance to be left empty, plugs are given selection weights among like-kinds)  Actually running. Generation time can be seen in the upper left. It's filling 20 slots from 3 tree selections and 15 shrub/weed selections. I haven't started optimizing anything yet, but it looks like I probably won't have to sweat over it. I still have a way to go, but it's turning into something presentable I think.
