And also in a rather meta example (not gonna edit the previous post to avoid ruining this):

Somehow that post above ended up with a vertical scrollbar. WTF?

EDIT: if somebody wants an explanation of what's going on, anyway:

<Sik> She was supposed to be spinning in the air
<Sik> Game bugged up and she kept spinning on the floor
<Sik> (apparently she can't bounce off slopes...)

EDIT 2: and it actually turned out to have been some failsafe I had added before I made Sol spin when bouncing (which is now pointless since now jumping won't let you exposed to enemy attacks). Oh well, fixed now.

Oh hey, I can finally post here!



Classic ol' vertex attribute misalignment.

[ThemsAllTook]

Love it!

[Codestar]

I should probably disable player movement on the pause menu...

Or draw map in screen-space.

[Sik]

Letting the player move would still bring problems later on.

Was trying to make a random space rocks generator - it makes space invaders instead

[Mckenon]

So I was working on redoing my jumping/falling animation setup.. things to weird.. 

[Lavesson]

Here's another one. A bunch of years ago, but I've held on to the screenshot thanks to the wonderful and odd result. I think I remember somehow screwing up my vertex layout.

I also came across this gem of random level generation today while doing some testing.

[Sik]

It's trying to encourage you （・＜・）

Is it me or is that map supposed to loop at the borders?

[Codestar]

Nah, it's just doing that because I currently only have 3 templates for map sections that aren't on the level "solution path".

Space Invaders: Expert Mode



This is what happens if the minimum and maxiumum delays between each ship shooting is set to 0 (Typo in JSON file + default value of 0 = boom). The game just spams bullets endlessly, and the central event queue completely floods with create bullet events.

Kinda surprised the games logic tick even runs since this should essentially be an endless loop of creating bullets, but it must manage to break out often enough for about 5fps xD

I mean, this is a Bullet Hell variation on Space Invaders I've made anyway, but there are some limits...

[Sik]

It's probably handling 0 the same way as it handles 1 =P

[MorleyDev]

1 would be 1 shot per second maximum, which would still be a lotta bullets since that's 50 bullets being fired per second. It's probably a quirk of the lag-correction and asynchronousity (this is mostly an experiment in using the Actor model for video games).

[SpeakUpGames]

That awkward moment when your UI is *too* draggable 

[Sik]

UI doesn't stop when the cursor does?

1 would be 1 shot per second maximum, which would still be a lotta bullets since that's 50 bullets being fired per second.

Oh, I thought it was measured in frames. In any case point stands, it seems to be treating 0 as meaning one bullet per frame.

[MorleyDev]

Actually digging into the code, you're right. I thought I had it loop until it had to wait for a bullet, but I was mistaken.  So 1 per frame per entity, logic runs at 100 frames per second, 50 entities, random speed range, random angles of fire...yeeeah, that's about 5000 bullets a second flying over the screen....So your typical Japanese Bullet Hell game, really

Huh, now I want to recreate and profile this and see where the longest running functions are. To the "Wow VS actually has a nice profiler"-mobile!

[Codestar]

Yeah, that should probably not happen...



That should probably not happen either...

[Layl]

Reminds me of an 'entertaining' floating-point-related bug in my physics code that caused the player to teleport to the other side of the map or fall through the floor. It would have probably more entertaining if it didn't happen in the middle of a demo.
