It appears to be called "Greedy Meshing". Was optimizing the mesh creation for my voxel/cube based framework and after it worked as intended, I googled for other possible implementations and found that my method is like 95% identical to the greedy one Smiley

A scrollable TUI dialog in the CMD. Didn't really need to optimize anything since it's at 6MB of memory, and members of the Console class that I use require a bit of memory. CMD was meant to be used a command prompt anyways. Also, low-level hooks are fun. C# makes it really easy to use unmanaged code with managed code  Smiley

Currently working on implementing spatial hashing for broad-phase collision detection.  This is for a little platformer I am prototyping using C and SDL2.

Creating random shapes in a background thread, and then feeding them back to the main Cocos2D thread to be turned into sprites. These sprites are very large and cannot be created anywhere other than the main thread. Finding a way to actually generate them efficiently without causing the game to lock up for a good quarter second has been giving me quite the headache for the last few days.

writing my physics system for my 2d engine. This is the second time I've done it but I've been doing it entirely off of my tenuous understanding of discrete physics system. I really should get the orange book at some point but I think for my current purposes I can deal with my hacky bullshit.

Next time I'll look into incorporating another framework but my issue with physics is most systems out there are too overdone and dont fit my requirements. I'd love to see an AABB only system thats done to perfection and has a ultra-simple interface (aka Overlap & Collide methods with little other setup)

I'm working on a checkpoint system, so players don't have to start right from the beginning of the level each time they die (and they die a lot xD). I'm basically saving the state of all interactive objects in the level when a checkpoint is reached and restoring it back.

I'm experimenting with some pseudo geometrical figures where the bodies are divided in triangles tks to the Delaunay triangulation, all in HTML5. Started from some canvas examples with lineTo/strokes...
Canvas is pretty fast but the fan of my laptop is running like hell :D

A randomly generated space shooter. Gotta work out on how to place static enemies on walls and also the AI for flying enemies

Working on some reflections using stencil buffers:

That looks pretty awesome! But shouldn't the reflection change position relative to the camera view vector? Who, Me?

I'm working on a Simplex Noise implementation so I can finally ditch those rainbow colored meshes (normals==color atm.)

Since it's an ortographic projection with the camera panning - not rotating - the view direction is constant. (if this were not the case, the background should also move behind the foreground when the camera moves)

Nice job on the reflections!

I just "converted" a number of sprites for my levels into a vertex array. Eliminated hundreds of draw calls.

This looks very cool. I have never seen 2D mirrors like that before. Although it is a bit odd that her reflection is on the left side. Based off of the perspective of the sinks her reflection would be on the right side.

You're absolutely right, I've changed it and now it looks just right. Thanks for pointing it out!

What am I programming? Absolutely nothing!

I'm postponing the making of my level editor. I really need to make myself one, doesn't have to be fancy at all, but it's... sooooo... boooooooooring. Complex and boring tasks are the worst.

I'm working on some kind of 2D space building game. More specifically, I'm working on the Game Engine for such a game. It's based off an old one I did for a top down dungeon crawler, but it's supposed to be programmable with lua callbacks and have a more dynamic asset loading system than the other one, which just read a bunch of config files and loaded stuff based off what it thought was needed. Also, more than 8 possible directions of object movement would be nice this time.

So far, I have a window. That's it. As they say, all uphill from here. Cheesy

Currently working on porting my small and recently finished Android game project so its engine compiles perfectly fine to Android and regular Java at the same time, in preparation of doing a "proper" game next (as in, one that takes more than a week to create). Currently rendering works alright, now I need to figure out how to implement things like clicks and device tilt in an... untiltable environment. Also reordering package names and abstracting classes.

I made a game thingy.
It has colors in it and might make you curse. : D
