>your favourite agdg game didn't make it.

Reposting from the other thread.

What interesting effects can I create for 2D games with shaders? Learning GLSL but I'm not really sure what it's capable of so I don't know where to start. So far, other than basic shaders that allow sprites to be rendered, all I've done is replaced texture colors (e.g. changed each blue pixel in a texture to red)

I don't want to be associated with AGDG anymore. I'm not making eroge.

The turret can now shoot things. The bullets don't do any damage yet, but that is the easy part.

Repostan

Should I use libgdx for 3D Android dev? I'm just doing it without any libraries right now, are there any gotchas apart from considering resolution/dpi and contexts being lost?

ok, Lua question
I want to reach into three last tables and subtract 10 from value in those by using for loop

Something like this:
for i=0, 2 do
(#table - i)['x'] = (#table - i)['x'] - 10
end
But I get errors, so I'm wondering if somebody knows.

>>119569031
....? What you're trying to do isn't valid syntax

(#table - i) parses to a number. You can't access a number with ['x'].

I know you get this a lot but I've always looked through the generals from time to time and want to start. Looked through the OP and I'm struggling between going with/learning Python all the way or just caving in and using Unity or something. Would it be wiser to start with an engine or could someone still go leaps with just coding?
Sorry for the disturbance, I just really want to see if I can get something done by Halloween or even the next jam.

I think that the situation is more complicated than you nodevs realize. It's not just about having wizzbang features. If you make an engine where you can super easily create simple games and its a seamless experience with scripting and debugging and the API is easy to understand and everything just works then that absolutely has value, even if the engine can only be used for relatively simple games.

Any way to check if an event exists in Gamemaker?

Basically I want to have a certain object throw an error if I code it wrong, because the formatting to get it to work right is kinda weird, and I know I'm gonna forget how to do it in like a day. Far and away the easiest method of checking is to see if I even knew to use the event User Defined 1, but I'm not sure if that's possible.

>>119567617
I honestly think it would be funnier if it didn't wait until it was lined up to shoot and would instead just wreak havoc on everything while it tried to catch up to you.

>>119573553
Yeah but game's are all about side effects. It would involve a lot of work to get a clean implementation in Haskell, not saying it can't be done though. See: Frags http://code.haskell.org/frag/

>>119573291
# evaluates to a number, and . is used in table lookup. #t.e tries to access e in t table, but t is a number and not a table, so it throws an error. You need to get an index from your enemyList table, do a lookup of the enemy table at that index for the waypoint table, then do another lookup to access the x or y field, like enemyList[#enemyList - 2].waypoint.x. Could you post the code in question?

"Haskell can't do side effects" is a meme. All it does is force you to say which parts have side effects, and if so, roughly what they are. And it makes sure you can't do stupid things like singletons or global mutable state in general.

Monads or other patterns that control side effects are good at automatically injecting dependencies anyways, so it's not like it's inconvenient to not be allowed singletons or global managers of some sort.

>>119574494

>>119574448
You're allowed global immutable constants.

If the gravity needs to change for some reason, pass it into the function or invert the control so that you don't need to calculate the effect of gravity in a billion different places (which you shouldn't be doing in the first place).

for i = 1, (#Wtable) do table.insert(e.tx, (Wtable[i]['x'])) end
for i = 1, (#Wtable) do table.insert(e.ty, (Wtable[i]['y'])) end

for loops insert x and y coords for enemies to follow (Wtable is just chooseable table of coords enemies has to follow, set upon creation - in this case this is "Waypoints" table)

e.tx tables has just x values, which enemeis has to follow, one by one.
The same for e.ty, but with y values

e. is enemy's main table, put into enemyList table

This is how looks one of tables that are in Waypoints table:
{
x = 766,
y = 279
}

I want to change values of x and y in e.tx / e.ty tables

I hope that wrote well what I'm meaning.

>>119574578
passing the gravity vector around everywhere is not what I want to do.

>>119574880
Architect your program so that you don't need to pass it around everywhere. Why should you need to do that in the first place? Smells like code duplication to me.

>>119574301
>it's not as arcane as Haskell
I'd say Scala is more complicated, not less. It certainly has a more complicated type system built in. Scala has ADTs plus OO with inheritance plus structural typing. Haskell only has its ADTs.

Scala is probably the best language for rapid application development on the JVM right now (and the JVM is great) but hopefully we'll get a simpler, faster-to-compile alternative soon. I'm betting on either Kotlin or Ceylon.

>>119574678
YES

Scala is a "let's fix Java" language. Also functional because why not.

This Wikipedia article covers it pretty well: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scala_(programming_language)

Debatable. While Haskell doesn't have subtyping, Scala doesn't have GADTs or type-level programming (DataKinds, TypeFamilies). Though I suppose if you wanted to be pedantic you could say that those are GHC-specific extensions, but who doesn't use GHC?

I was talking about Scala in general, not just for games on Windows. (I'm not a game programmer by trade.)

Yeah, ATS has both of those, and they can be used to stop all leaks, hazards, or segfaults. I don't like ATS, though. I'm conceiving a language with raw pointers (arithmetic included), untagged unions and FFI but using linear capabilities to do validation. It's a pretty sublime concept because it gives you the possibility of 100% safety and zero overhead. Potentially even less overhead than currently possible, since libraries often have input validation going on behind the scenes that shouldn't need to happen.

Haskell and C/C++. I would ideally write it in my own language, but that adds a lot of time before I can get anything going.

im really concerned with not making it too hard though because i feel like its really easy to go overboard on difficulty and then people dont like it if its too unfair. its better to make it easy at first and scale it up than to make it too hard at first i feel

If you're in academia be sure to include a dank meme AGDG reference in your arXiv paper. I'm looking forward to reading about your language on Hacker News.

i have this same problem except between photoshop, blender and unity. i get that the colors would be different between the 3d renderers because of how they handle lighting. my current solution is to continuously update textures in unity while painting to see how they look, but this seems retarded.

When I started there were no good animu guides, so I had to adapt guides for realistic humans to the style (Mostly talking about the faces, bodies shouldn't be different besides proportions). I'm not sure if there are good anime guides now, but if there are not just follow your generic human modeling guide and try to adapt the proportions (and get rid of the nose holes).
As long as the model follows the basic shapes of your reference it shouldn't go horribly wrong.

I was talking about models, not drawing.
Modeling is more technical, you can't just slap a realistic topology in an anime face and expect it to work, a lot of tweaking and cheating has to be made. The face must be practically flat but don't look like it from other angles, which is the hardest part.

So if I use lightmaps for 2D lighting in OpenGL, I'm basically using sprites that use a shader for lighting right? And I just sample the lightmap texture in the shader code?

Vector or pixel art for a 2D RPG?
I feel like pixel art is really overused and would end up looking like ten thousand other games. But vector art almost always looks like chibi style mobile shovelware

I am not an artist either way, but I have a friend who can do vector drawing.

>>119588920
It's not very good. Expressions are nice, but the body doesn't lend itself well to sidescroller animations.
Take a look at other side scrollers to get an idea of what limitations you should follow, and how they do their art. For smaller characters, Cave Story is good. Generally, smaller means less work, but the tradeoff is less detail. You can get around that with things like character portraits in textboxes or on the hud. Games usually steer away from large sprites like that because of how much work it is to animate them.

Pixel art will only end up looking like ten thousand other games if you make it look that way.
Vector art will only end up looking like mobile shovelware if you make it look that way.

It doesn't matter which style you choose, if you have a good artist whose style doesn't look like shovelware, then their art wont look like shovelware.

sight should be farther down from the chin rest.
you should try giving your gun more depth, try changing the sizes of the objects on it like the megazine, the optic, and the trigger. right now it looks like you made the gun in a side view and extracted it through the x? plane. try skulpting it a little bit. also magazines aren't boxes, they have bullets in them, try to imagine how a bullet folds inside it. If you want to add anything to the magazine design wise just add some lines for grip. maybe add a compensator to it.


A lot of logical things added to the gun can add style to it while making it seem more realistic.

I love you /agdg/
you might not be as not-shitty as you used to be, but you're still the best dev community online.
Pick whichever applies to you:
>Keep up the good work!
>Do it, start making your game! It's fun and you'll learn a lot!
>Go back to dev, anon. You haven't posted progress in a while. I believe in you!

>>119598756
another thing, try and add more hard angles to the gun. they're machined pieces, they shouldn't look too organic.

personally I think you should restart the model, you don't want to get too attached to your early work, and recreating it from scratch almost always improves it and your work habits.

>>119599293

>>119599380
but I already did things!

>>119599450
there's always more things to do!
you're posting here with no progress, which means you're not really doing anything useful. why don't you take a break and then come back to dev?

Made a handful of assets for my phone-based Halloween horror game. Tried out Substance Designer for some of the stuff, mostly very nice to use.
Also made a simple main menu. Not sure about the title as of yet, but The Orifice sounded kind of funny to me, so it's there for now.

>>119601082
the orifice is a terrible name
please change it

>>119601163
I feel like if I searched for it I'm going to find a lot of porn.

>>119599292
The background isn't static. If you look close, you can see it move. It's just far off so it's subtle.

>>119601163
Yeah I probably will. It could be construed as being related to some idea in the game, but really it's just because the game takes place in an office building of some sort, and I thought it was kind of funny. For now you can pretend it's a sequel to The Office which has nothing to do with it.
