Entities are now entities and the lighting and everything knows they exist, instead of just models. Also physics now works. Turns out Jitter has this internal Shift since the "position" it knows is that of the center of mass, however it works, and I'm pleased. The framerate is MUCH higher without fraps and also, I'm using a way too high poly model for physics in that record, aka the same model.

Making a L4D2 Mod Updater. Basicly you could save configs of download links and version checks for a certain vpk mod and then you can just check for a new version and download it immediately. (Like Steam Workshop for L4D2, but temporary if Valve decides to add support for L4D2, which they should!)
Planning to make this a little more feature rich than what it looks like now. Include archiving old versions and managing which mods you want enabled or disabled (so you don't need to use the ingame selector). Going to need a good way to make this support sites like L4DMaps.com, but I think I can find some way.

Are you sure it's working right? Did you try other test than just making one model collide into another on? It's because back when I was working with Bullet I was doing pretty much the same thing, the physics looked right but as soon as I used more complex model it turned to hell, I then implemented convex decomposition but it did not help, it just made it more laggy. Eventually I found out that the physics engine basically has no idea where the center of mass is on the model, It will simply use the model center witch can lead to very bad simulation when working with more complex shape. Maybe you're already doing this but you should manually build a AABB (a OOBB would be event better) and use it's center as your model's center of mass.

I'm not manually doing that, but from what I remember Jitter does that by default.

I didn't make this, but I have to share it with you guys.

A guy on the love forums made a 3d fractal renderer thing in love. Pretty crazy.

I made a program (In C#) that takes the song your currently listening to in Winamp, posts to a PHP page, adds it to a database which can then be viewed on another page. Most of the code was C# so I figured it was more relevant in here.

Then I realised no one cares what I'm listening to so I just wasted half an hour.

Everything you could ever code has already been done better. Case in point: Last.fm

Add it to a steam bot for some reason. Because that seems to be the thought process in FPP these days.

You could make it post the current song on facebook or twitter. I'm sure there's a lot of people that want EVERYONE to know they're listening to "Creep" by Radiohead.

I was actually looking around the FB API but the actual music API that they currently have is for partners only right now.

You don't need to use music API, just post it as a regular status update

If your not going to do anything with it, mind open sourcing it? Would be interesting to see how its done :)

I've been working with Parrot VM for some time, and Winxed seems like a really nice language to program shit in, especially considering that anything I write can be used by all Parrot languages.
But I was wondering, is this a good or bad way to write a help display function?

function displayHelp( string app )
{
   print( app );
   print( " usage: [OPTIONS]\n" );
   print( "\n" );
   print( " GENERAL USAGE\n" );
   print( "--help\t\t-h\t\tDisplay this message\n" );
   print( "--verbose\t-v\t\tShow whats going on\n" );
   print( "--root [PATH]\t\t\tUse PATH as root, instead of /\n" );
   print( "--temp [PATH]\t\t\tUSe PATH instead of /tmp\n" );
   print( " COMMANDS\n" );
   print( " -install [TARGET]\n" );
   print( " -remove [TARGET]\n" );
   print( " -search [TARGET]\n" );
   print( " -update\n" );
   print( " -upgrade [TARGET]\t\tupgrade all packages, or TARGET\n" );
   print( "\n" );
}

Would you mind sharing how you did that? I had a game concept involving random polygons like that but all the information I found on the topic was gigantic math libraries with terrible documentation and mathematical publications.

It's not programming; it's just a level.

Unless you're showcasing a new feature, but then you say "Hey look at this new feature"

Depending on how hard it might be to rebuild the drawing system in OpenGL, my game engine is very close to done.

Features:
-Entities that can interact with each-other
-Easy to call drawing and sound commands
-A collision system
-A loading/saving system
-The game can be paused, and entities can be set to non-pause-able (for the menus)
-A game-maker style room loading/moving system.

The whole engine is around 1500 lines.



All it took to build this:

package com.reywas.gameEngine;

import android.graphics.Color;

public class entity_saveTest extends engine_entity {
	
	int local_clicks;
	int loaded_clicks;
	
	public void step(){
		
		draw.drawText("Local: " + local_clicks, x, y, Color.WHITE, 20, 255, true, 0);
		draw.drawText("Loaded: " + loaded_clicks, x, y+30, Color.WHITE, 20, 255, true, 0);
		
		draw.drawCircle(x+200, y+15, 50, Color.BLACK, 255, true);
		draw.drawText("load", x+200, y+15, Color.WHITE, 20, 255, true, 1);
		
		draw.drawCircle(x+310, y+15, 50, Color.BLACK, 255, true);
		draw.drawText("save", x+310, y+15, Color.WHITE, 20, 255, true, 1);
		
		draw.drawCircle(x+420, y+15, 50, Color.BLACK, 255, true);
		draw.drawText("click me", x+420, y+15, Color.WHITE, 20, 255, true, 1);
		
	}
	public void firstStep(){
		entity_type = "entity_saveTest";
	}
	
	public void touchPress1(){
		if (collision.checkCollisionPointCircle(engine_main.get_touch_x(),engine_main.get_touch_y(),x+200, y+15, 50)){	
			loaded_clicks = save.loadInt("test_int");
		}
		if (collision.checkCollisionPointCircle(engine_main.get_touch_x(),engine_main.get_touch_y(),x+310, y+15, 50)){	
			save.saveInt("test_int", local_clicks);
		}
		if (collision.checkCollisionPointCircle(engine_main.get_touch_x(),engine_main.get_touch_y(),x+420, y+15, 50)){	
			local_clicks+=1;
		}
	}
}

...Now let's go study for that AP exam tomorrow. Woo.

It's a Voronoi diagram. This was a great help. I gave up the last time I tried to do this for the same reasons you're expressing now.
Basically, you take Fortune's algorithm then screw around with it to get the edges associated to each input vertex. Then, it is a simple matter of ordering and rendering. If you do it right, it takes O(n*log(n)) time.

Any opinions from you guys on OpenTK vs SlimDX, when cross-platform development is NOT a factor I care about?

Is there any advantage to using OpenGL over DirectX or vice versa?

Cross platform support.

Read the first line please. I'm looking mostly at ease of use/support comparing directx and opengl. I've heard documentation for openGL is pretty flaky for example.

[Lexic]

There's very little newbie friendly official documentation for OGL. Plenty of good third party stuff though.
AFAIK there's not really much between the two so I'd just pick OpenGLthe one you like the look of most and go with it.

To get a solid grasp of Modern OpenGL you'll probably want to get a book on the topic. (Or wait for Overv)

Not sure about DirectX.

directx is really nice to get started with and there is a lot of example code in the SDK and also in the graphics hardware SDKs(nvida sdk has very nice examples for shadow mapping and others). Also really nice tools for writing and testing shaders(like FXStudio) and DX is easy to use. IMO its much better than opengl and as i dont care about mac/linux. I guess if you want to do crossplatform at some time you can still switch to OGL but DX is nice to work with
