I'm refactoring some old pieces of directx-code, sometimes I want to travel back in time an shake myself

[jgrams]

Well...in some ways that's a good thing, e.g. "I dread the day when I look back on the me of five years ago without finding his naivete and misconceptions faintly ridiculous. When that day comes, I'll know I've become an impediment to progress." --Brian Marick

Ugh, *client work*. iOS apps.

Rather be working on a new game idea but it pays the bills!

A basic UI toolkit. Already have the event system working and minimal redrawing through invalidation (largely like wxWidgets), moveable windows, buttons and labels. Now I'm working on timers, an input text field, scroll bars and a dropdown list.

Yeah, after years of fighting with cross-platform discrepancies, learning different interfaces for UI libraries depending on platform and use, and losing a lot of time tweaking ill cases, I decided to do it on my own by minimizing OS dependency just to drawing/rendering and mouse/touch/keyboard input

Terrain generation!

I've recently been doing a similar thing - what algorithm are you using?

Constructing a super simple scene in torque2d consisting of a table.. a dude.. and another dude.. and a on the table is a revolver...

I'm working on letting people copy assets to a directory and automatically update the assets list in the SHMUP Creator.
I need to check the focus on the app, check the directories, import the new assets, create icons, check if an asset is deleted etc...

(But secretly, I really wanna work on explosions...)

Despawning entities to make my game run better.  <insert massive retching noise here>

[Locet]

I've just started programming a Simon Says game for android. Need to improve my android development skills.

Not technically programming (but related), trying to figure out how to use MinGW-w64 on Windows. It seems I can get libraries to build, but I can't get them to install properly (only SDL2 did the right thing apparently).

[MorleyDev]

Ah, you were trying to cross-compile. I wondered what you meant by "install". Yeah, I don't touch cross-compilation if I can avoid it. Down that way headaches and caffeine-fuelled hallucinations lie.

Currently looking for a good reporting solution for a REST API. Having a spike at hooking it up to graphite, since it's pretty and fairly easy to use.

The original idea was to use a Windows computer to make Windows builds (like I was doing before the old computers went bust), but ultimately I never got that computer so I was forced to look into crosscompiling instead x_x Took several days of reverse engineering configure scripts and makefiles to get it right. It worked though, and the game runs flawlessly*, so I'm happy =D

*Except under Wine, there it crashes in the most epic way possible. On the real thing it runs fine though.

Making a Flappy Bird clone for the GB Jam because I realised I'm probably the only programmer left on the planet who hasn't made a clone of Flabby Bird yet

Making a Flappy Bird clone for the GB Jam because I realised I'm probably the only programmer left on the planet who hasn't made a clone of Flabby Bird yet

I'm sure I've seen this game scheme before flappy bird. I think you were a helicopter?


Working on server structure for simultaneous turn based game. The idea was something to do in between consulting clients & work.

Thinking a mystery/who-dunnit theme, but not really sure. Any ideas?

[MorleyDev]

I'm sure I've seen this game scheme before flappy bird. I think you were a helicopter?

Yeah, there's an an old flash game called Helicopter Game and I've seen variations of the theme done hundreds of times. Flappy Bird is basically just one such variation that happened to get ridiculously popular on mobile, and got media attention when it's author pulled it because he didn't want that much attention.

The sudden pulling caused a lot of clones to get released which flooded the market with them for a time. Was amusing to watch unfold, to tell the truth.

Converting my 3 HTML5 canvases, 2 of which render using the canvas context, to a single canvas using webgl broken into 3 viewpoin

Theain aim is to implement a start menu to my game, so I don'twant to have to hide the two side canvases so that you only see the main one.

An Ascii painting program. I just finished the "recolouring brush", which works like the standard drawing tool but only changes the colour of the tiles you paint over.

Below you will see the above image has completely randomized tile data, and below that I used the recolouring brush to keep the same tiles but paint them all the same colour:

[Lee]

Finished the different tools off (currently no GUI interface for selecting tools, just shortcut keys), not shown but also done is the filled rectangle and filled circle. Going to have dinner then work on undo and redo and other shortcuts.

Holy shit this is actually awesome.

[Lee]

Thanks, man. I finished the undo and redo functions by the way and also spent a few hours time wasting.
