The screaming pikmin dudes really make those gifs

oh my god i never realised they look like pikmin characters, but you're right!! o-o

I also have a beautiful fail from yesterday when I switched from software rendering text on the fly to a texture atlas to speed up text drawing. I love debugging these sorts of things.

Huh, did that suddenly make the text larger and all the positions scaled too? D:

[ProgramGamer]

What happened is that the texture I render text to is native size, while the game render texture is way smaller. Due to a bug, I was accidentally drawing the game render to the text texture, causing this scaling issue. The "This is bullshit" thing was just me trying to figure out what was happening by drawing text at various points in the rendering pipeline.

ohhh

Would have been fun to see a sequence, like putting

THIS

IS

BULLSHIT

at three different points in the pipeline and seeing what happens to each word

I thought the texture atlas changed the original game title in "This is bullshit".

This is from my secondary game project. The physics settings of those plates were a bit off, I think.
It starts to move again eventually. The best thing is the trail of the ball and that the normal dialog lines are strangely fitting. :D
(Is there any way to embed a video here?)

Years ago I made a cpu renderer when I was learning coding, and along the way it made lots of cool artefacts. I imagine it's from rounding errors, but I'm still not quite sure. It was a small fix though and then everything rendered normally.

I was rendering only a single triangle.

I just love how these shapes are made entirely of binary colors, only light or dark!






Here's another breed of artefacts (caused by another bug)

@RealScaniX: haha, good narrative timing with the subtitles!

@Precision Cats: Oooh, that does look very nice!

[oahda]

Graphics bugs are basically an art form in and of themselves!

[JobLeonard]

Yeah. Especially the part where you're like "Wow, how did I do that? Can I recreate this consistently? Or consistently but more efficiently?"

[Ordnas]

That proves the fact that modern art is completely random!

What happens when you forget to add a delay timer on an attack

That went from zero to ∞ really quick

This was a fun (if completely unintentional) effect, but considering the point of this list is to display names I had to fix the particle scripts

[Ordnas]

Coolest sci-fi 2d effect ever 

[Kyzrati]

It's pretty fun since I write all my particle scripts based on my best guess as to what it might look like, but half the time I get at least one value off and it throws everything out of whack. Sometimes the unintentional results even become the new style

(I've discovered this thread so late! Been posting a bunch of bugged UIs like this to Twitter over the years...)

[Ordnas]

You should post them again on this thread sometimes then, ahah 
If they are cool as this one then I am curious.

[JobLeonard]

Coolest sci-fi 2d effect ever 

I've seen better . Mostly in the Cogmind devlog though, so that makes sense

[Kyzrati]

Haha, well at least I'm subscribed to the thread now so I'll be more likely to be reminded it exists and maybe run across something else to contribute in the future

My favorite bug in all of Cogmind's dev history was the one where I discovered a way to force the UI to turn all weapons into guided weapons that could fire around corners...

[Ordnas]

You will have a long successful career in your path, if you turn bugs into features involuntarily!
