Spent an hour wrestling with headers in C++. Turns out I needed to do some forward declaration trickery and then include the actual class in the .cxx/.cpp file. What a pain, but I'm glad I found the problem. In the process, I also cleaned the way my classes are structured in terms of inheritance.

I got my particles engine workin. It still has a lot f work to do, but it works fine until now. Next stem it's to implement multicolor particles and particles with textures.

I wrote a socket class which works similar to socket.io, and it's for haxe.
It's based on TCP/ip socket and works on CPP and Flash


:3

Also writing socketio-like tcp socket for node.js (also in haxe)

This is my first TIGForums post ever on Linux Mint! >:0

[Dacke]

Cinnamon or MATE?

[Dr. Cooldude]

Cinnamon

I'm currently only using it for development purposes, but I already like it enough to sometimes use it for general-purpose stuff. I'm still going to use Windows 7 as my primary system though.

Right now I'm using it for hobbyist OS/Kernel development, and I can already confirm that what took me days of Cygwin work on Windows only took less a couple of hours on Linux.

[Dacke]

Yeah, it's reasonable to ease into it. Make sure to install Steam or something, so that you can do some gaming on the Linux side. That way you'll have to bounce back to Windows less, probably.

Personally I couldn't live without the power I get from the terminal, so I wouldn't be able to go back to Windows even if I wanted to.

Coded a horrible little voxel landscape demo today.

[Crimsontide]

Decided to finally ditch the old spherical coordinates/linear algebra for my camera code and replace with quaternions.  Spent 2 weeks learning all about them (I like to do know, not just how, but why they work, derive equations, ect...) and implemented a full C++ quaternion library.

Implemented all the code without testing it once.  Worked near perfectly the 1st time   I now have a camera class with every bell/whistle I could want.

Finally got some audio analysis data from an mp3 represented in a visualizer I'm working on. The beat detector is currently quite a bit off but it works dammit!

Got the gameplay implementation more or less finished for my game, now it's on to prettying it up and making the levels and stuff.

Just finished up designing and coding a new Ray-Casting algorithm which seems to work really nicely. Pic is from a stress test where I shot out > 500 rays in all directions, and drew a line to each intersection point.  It should be bloody efficient too.

Its about to be transplanted into my voxel landscape renderer.

Seems a bit weird, the rays seem to collide before the boundaries of the boxes

Yeah I noticed that too, and I haven't dug into it too far yet, but I believe that is just an error in my line drawing function.  I don't think the line drawing function always draws right up to the end point and often stops a pixel short.

If I simple plot the intersection points instead then it always lands right on the boarder of a tile as would be expected.

Going to try Ruby on Rails for the first time. I hope I don't screw anything up.

[ThemsAllTook]

Hope it goes better for you than it has for me. Every time I've tried to use Rails, the experience has been a weird mix of wonder and revulsion. Some parts are super cool, some parts are unbelievably horrible.

[Schrompf]

I guess Ruby is cool if you don't want your software to run on any other computer. I once tried to setup Redmine, which is written with Ruby On Rails. I gave up after the tenth or so gem that required Ruby V.26 or later but only up to V2.83 except for V2.76b, and also not V2.82 to which another gem was allergic... pure unfiltered hate. I still want to strangle the guys responsible for such a failure of an ecosystem.

[InfiniteStateMachine]

Ah got the beat detector working. Turns out for beat detection you don't want to normalize your spectrum because it will bring low areas up too much.

[BorisTheBrave]

Bit of a cross-post, but just finished my proof of concept automagic hi-rez tileset generator:

Output tileset:

For us art impaired programmers, I think it'll be damn useful.

[TheLastBanana]

Wow, that's really cool. Great work!
