I should stop optimizing a game that renders in 0.7 ms, but IT FEELS GOOD MAN

Heh, I know the feeling. I implemented a mode in one of my games where it would simulate an entire 5-minute playthrough from recorded input events as fast as possible. After watching it complete in 0.5 seconds, what do I do? I run a profiler on it, find the largest bottleneck, and get it down to 0.47 seconds.

Haha did something similar years ago  , but didn't finish the game

An OpenGL terminal I'm working on renders with 75~



I tried using display lists and as you can see it didn't help much. The invisible characters aren't even rendered!

I'm not really happy or grumpy...

We actually have a thread for that, but for some reason it hasn't been very active lately. Dunno why! http://forums.tigsource.com/index.php?topic=17308.0

What's the refresh rate of your monitor? If it's 75Hz try disabling V-Sync in your GPU settings.

[Quarry]

It's 60Hz, but I tried removing the text and it still goes around 75~

CURIOUS

EDIT: Tested to add more text, with 3 times more text the FPS dropped to 30

[Polly]

Weird .. even with the most sloppy immediate mode code, i still get way more then 1000fps.

The PC I'm on is a netbook, what are your specs?

Well, computers are fast (and gpus are magic)

[Geti]

note to nospoon: this is related to quarry getting ~70fps for a similar thing >implying something was up with quarry's code.

I'm happy cause I cleared the list of stuff I was meant to do today. Yussssss

I finished adding a new level feature to the game, and got it working fine, and the level generator uses it correctly and stuff. But today I needed to add it to the level editor. I put in the code to select it from the menu, to allow you to place it, to save it to the file, and to load it from the file. The menu code threw an error, before I could try any of the other changed things. After fixing it, it just threw another error related to the menu again.

Then I fixed that, and everything worked absolutely perfectly! Quite remarkable when I had changed code in 3 other locations without testing any of it...

I wrote a lua script that generated a linux shell script that automated generating all 12 platform/release combinations instead of doing it by hand.

Our app will be uploaded to the App Store in the next few days and the client suddenly wanted a big change in functionality. I did it without resorting to a hack.

Where's my payrise

[Rahrahrah]

So I'm just playing around and learning flash.  I have some formal education with C++ and Java but that was years and years ago.

Anyways, I drew a 'ship' moved it around, had it check for 'thrusters' and change its image and on and on.  Its all pretty and colorful..

.. I think my little tiny black cat is happier chasing it around, than I am for being able to make it do so.

And I am totally okay with that.. hehehheheh.

That is gorgeous! Is it for a game or is it just for testing?

I've just made THE AWESOME, in one hour and in Java

I was wondering why Cobalt crashes on OpenGL on some machines and I couldn't work out which extension of those thousands was the culprit.. I didn't even know exactly which ones we used! (glew is awesome but...)

then I made this jar which given a folder, tells you all the caps you use and because of which call!

ie, when run on my engine:

Code:

Used caps found: 
GL_VERSION_1_2  because of:
	GL_RESCALE_NORMAL
	GL_CLAMP_TO_EDGE

GL_EXT_texture_object  because of:
	glDeleteTextures
	glBindTexture
	glGenTextures

GL_EXT_framebuffer_sRGB  because of:
	GL_FRAMEBUFFER_SRGB

GL_VERSION_1_5  because of:
	glGenBuffers
	GL_DYNAMIC_DRAW
	GL_ELEMENT_ARRAY_BUFFER
	GL_ARRAY_BUFFER
	glBufferData
	GL_STATIC_DRAW
	glBindBuffer

GL_VERSION_1_4  because of:
	glBlendEquation
	GL_GENERATE_MIPMAP

GL_KHR_debug  because of:
	GL_STACK_OVERFLOW
	GL_STACK_UNDERFLOW

GL_EXT_paletted_texture  because of:
	GL_TEXTURE_2D

GL_VERSION_1_3  because of:
	GL_TEXTURE1
	glActiveTexture
	glClientActiveTexture
	GL_TEXTURE0

GL_ARB_vertex_array_object  because of:
	glBindVertexArray
	glGenVertexArrays

GL_ARB_texture_rg  because of:
	GL_RG

GL_VERSION_2_1  because of:
	GL_SRGB8_ALPHA8
	GL_SRGB8

GL_EXT_vertex_array  because of:
	glTexCoordPointer
	glNormalPointer
	GL_TEXTURE_COORD_ARRAY
	glColorPointer
	GL_NORMAL_ARRAY
	GL_VERTEX_ARRAY
	glVertexPointer
	GL_COLOR_ARRAY
	glDrawArrays

I now demand at least one Internet in compensation for my efforts

[nospoon]

I wrote a small TCP/IP low latency networking library in java :D

Still, I'll probably scrape it and write a new, better one.

Was going to be a game but then decided that it wasn't worth the time I'd be spending on it

[R.D.]

Darn! I just love Chrome <3 It makes Web Development so much fun. We integrated the Gamepad API in our game it it's just fun running around shooting balls around.
