Wow. First time double-posting in this thread!
Guess I'm the lucky one.

Anyways, jQuery is so fun to play with!
Can't get enough of it

My specialized IK/Physics system is coming along nicely.  Integrator's done, just need to add force balancing and joint range forces and I'll have the start of a dynamic character.

Been using Qt Creator this week. It's actually quite nice.

I'm using the C++ desktop projects, not the QtQuick javascript/qml stuff.

[_Tommo_]

I fixed tons of stuff in my engine that I was dragging along for too much time

-viewport acting strange in 2D (i got the inverse wrong apparently, glm::inverse() did the trick)
-Fonts not working with hot-reload even though they should: something was wrong with how it stored the dynamic pages, unordered_map saved the day again
-things being unscaled in the first frame: a nasty little bug where I called the function computing the pixel-perfect scale after the one building the world matrix.

and being able to edit anything and see the the results ingame just by pressing F5 is darn cool, take that scripting languages

Im happy cuz i got v0.1 of my game out!!!

I spent the entire day fucking with std::map in c++. I had a bug, that I thought had to do with string comparisons - I was using strings as keys and the program crashed on find(). ButIn the end, it had nothing to do with string comparisons.

Honestly, I don't even KNOW what the fuck it was! I passed the point of research, and was just angrily deleting and re-fucktoring everything, until POOF it worked.

I don't think I'll ever know what that mystery bug was

Got my demo to compile with only one dependency on glfw.dll and dump it all into a folder for distribution :D

My build file looks like this now:

Code:

#!/bin/bash
g++ main.cpp -o loldongs.exe -static-libgcc -L./DEPENDENCIES -lglfw -lopengl32 --std=c++0x

if [ $? -eq 0 ]; then
	echo "SUCCESS"

	rm -rf BUILD
	mkdir BUILD

	mv loldongs.exe BUILD
	cp -r levels BUILD
	cp DEPENDENCIES/glfw.dll BUILD

else
	echo "FAILED"
fi

Here's a pic too:

The red guy chases the blue guy until they collide and the roles switch. tl;dr it's chasey/tag with circles.

CUT DOWN A CRAZY AMOUNT OF LAG FROM GAME WORLD AND MADE IT RUN SEAMLESSLY!

I'm happy because I thought of a nice simple scheme to allow me to write audio packets from one thread and have PortAudio consume them from another. It even worked when I implemented it. Not bad for 80 lines of code. Although I might still need a memory barrier on the write side.

I now have most of the pieces of a lightweight sound system - output, wave loading, and a play head. Mixer next?

portaudio ftw! \o/

Just learned that the average person's "90% confidence estimate" is closer to 30% confidence. That explains why so many projects go over twice the estimated time!

\o/ indeed

Got mixing working now, and updated my stream interface so that streams can indicate that they're finished:

Code:

struct IStream
{
	virtual bool Render( Sample *samples, Nat frames, Nat channels, Nat sample_rate ) = 0;
};

The virtual call isn't a big deal here because streams usually get asked to render a couple of thousand samples at a time, and it lets you compose streams without caring what they are. E.g. Mixer implements IStream, so you can have one mixer at the top level, or do submixes and things like that if you like.

Happy programmer

That seems reasonable, but how does it scale? I have sometimes wondered how to interpret when people say something like 110%. Perhaps that means about 40% then, although intuitively I would trust a person claiming 90% over someone claiming 110%.

[VortexCortex]

That seems reasonable, but how does it scale?

I'm not really sure, but it's something called "The Planning Fallacy", and it apparently applies to everything.  I always double the amount of time I think it's going to take me when I do a bid.  Turns out surprisingly accurate.

Doing some web dev I got angered at JavaScript's cryptic behavior of not working but not giving any indication of error either...   Laughter is the best medicine for this malady, IMO, so here's

me be a happy programmer.

The more I use Qt the more like it. Hell the creator IDE is a lot better now. I might even use it for a non-qt project!

well probably not but it's still nice

Another great thing is often when there's something I need from Boost it also exists in Qt. I like their filesystem better than Boost's.

I just squashed an annoying rendering bug in my level editor. It's almost ready to develop with

Also, I just realized, I mainly post in the happy programmer room. I guess it just feels better to say "squashed another bug!" than "FUCK I CAN'T FIX IT NOOOO"... just a thought I had

[TomHunt]

fixed a minor hack i had made a while back that locked the player's ball into a set rotation. this wasn't noticeable as the ball had no texture. adding a simple bar texture made this very noticeable. so i removed the hack and added some rolling simulation using a bit of some good old fashioned 3D math.

also i added HSV options with a dynamic preview of the ball to customize the ball color. the preview is rendered using a separate camera enabled and disabled with the options menu and is only for rendering a preview mesh of the ball created and destroyed by the options menu.

ohhhh it looks so nice watching it roll around in pretty colors.

Went through Apple's tedious achievement specification system and made 23 achievements for our upcoming iOS game. Glad that's over.

LOL

I was tired like a week ago, tried to code seamlessly-loaded map grid. I coded up like additional 100 lines to an existing class and it was buggy, slow and not working properly actually.

Demotivated by that, after two days of trying, I deleted all those additional lines and said to myself: "This shit really deserves a 100% re-write. *SIGH*". I was too demotivated to pick that up till today.

I sat down. Looked at it. Wrote LITERALLY 6 lines and BAM. Fast, efficent, and fully working seamlessly-loaded map grid.

So happy that I got it done! World of opportunities, here I come!

I just uploaded a new version of my mini-app for Android, What The Flag. It's nothing fancy, but I'm double-happy since I actually managed to release something (it's been a while ), and since Haxe+NME is really a cool toolkit Once I wrap up WTF I'll move on to some cooler project, which will make use of all that coolness.
