I wanted to make a time-lapse gif renderer for my game (Dwarf Block). This is the result. Apparently, my game is too colorful for that.

Was working on my js1k demo "Infinite Yin Yangs" and accidentally make it a bit too recursive.



Also, when working on another js1k game "The Digit Dilemma" I introduced a cool bug that turned the map into kind of a sierpinski triangle. The crazy part is, it still generated a solvable level!

Code:

Working out a new line-drawing shader (my first real experience dealing with screen-space stuff like this, I guess?) for orbit lines and stuff has been... pretty.

Triangle subdivision gone wrong....

I tested my skybox shader on regular objects and ended up with a disco room.

Is it static or do the lines also move when moving around? (since I figure the skybox shader might respond to player orientation somehow? I dunno, I don't do 3D graphics)

The lines are static because the vertex shader bases the cubemap texture coordinates on the vertex positions only (relative to the origin of each mesh), such that the sky looks correct only if you are dead center in the skybox. It's a different shader from what was used in the Source engine for "skybox materials" (basically portals); I don't know how that one works.

If you wanted the lines to move, you could rotate a matrix over time (on an axis that would show depth; rotations don't have to be coplanar with the surface) and pass it to the shader, then it would sample radially from different parts of the cubemap.

A single corrupted skybox face creates a massive wall.

Nice bit of moire too

I should have recognized it as a data alignment issue. OpenGL expects all cubemap faces to be in the same texture format because it puts the data into a single texture, so if one of the faces has an alpha channel while the other faces don't, it will load that patch of texture as 3 channels when there are actually 4, throwing out 25% of the data and screwing up where the RGB values are.

I thought it was a fan-made game based on 2001: A Space Odyssey

Something to do with space. Jeez, I guess I should stop working on Cave Confectioner. Folks around here seem to love 3D stuff.

There is no way that smoky sky was an accident.

[oahda]

not so much a complete accident as just cranking the cloud distortion up way too high

[ProgramGamer]

I want to listen to lofi beats for studying while that gif plays over and over

  so that's how to make a horror game then?

Got some new ones...

This happened trying to fix some incorrect matrices:



This isn't really a fail as it was intentional to clearly see that my snow shader was working by making it green and thick and in every direction and on everything, but still amusing:
