Progress:

Added a ship core thing that you're supposed to shoot/protect depending on if it's yours.

There's now a tron line texture that only turns on if it's connected to a core. You can use this to tell at a glance if parts are still attached to a ship. In the future you'll only be able to assimilate unpowered parts, so this is pretty important.

>>146255945
I'm not him, but thanks for the link!
However I'm still sort of confused. The part about drawing tilesets are nice and meaningful, yet I fail to see the thought process behind it. What I mean is: how could one figure it out? How did someone see that if he puts dark green dots, green dots and light green dots on top of each other they'll give the impression of grass if viewed from a distance? I know that drawing is an illusion itself (creating a 3D environment on a 2D plane), yet it looks like to me that pixel art requires much more "magic" than that. I don't see how can anyone come up with this stuff without examining actual pixel art, but that sorta makes me question why people here suggest to learn drawing first if drawing basically requires to examine the real word around you? How does the one translates to the other?

>>146257436
This looks great, how and where did you learn to draw like this? I'm only good at pixelart

>>146258012
There are alternate compilers out there. I don't know if they use .fla exactly or what.

You dumb fucking pedophile. That's a good size. Most video game tits are to either side of the most common sizes for some reason.

>>146258182
Thanks! To be honest I loved drawing since I'm a kid so I have been doing it all those years, so I guess is mostly due to practicing a lot, since I never took classes on it either. I have good and bad days anyway, some days I'll draw stuff that looks really good to me, and other days I'll draw really shitty stuff that I end hating and deleting later.

Won't happen for at least hundreds of years. Bloodrayne was born half-vampire in 1915 (although probably retconned to the middle ages if we count the movies) and she hadn't aged a day from her first game in WWII up to the early 2000s in her second game. I imagine full-blooded vamps like loli vampire-chan take even longer to age.

>>146243101
>>146244431
Here's more or less how I do it. I think it's the most common and simplest method, but I could be wrong.
Basically, build your level out of basic blocks: collision/solid, jump-through platform, etc.
Then place tiles on top of them, and finally hide the basic blocks during the game.

By the way, GM:Studio's room editor lets you scale and resize instances after you place them; this helps a little with performance (a long 1x6 solid block is better than six 1x1 blocks in a row). I'm using GM 8.0, so I can't do that, but you, however, should.

Alright I'm fucking stumped.

Presume you have this 2D level, right? And each tiles can be water, can be a wall or some shit and so on.

How the FUCK do you make some water physics that's fast and efficient and does the job?

My code is checking for all the adjacent tiles to determine if the water tile should move there.
But it's not fast code, at least not fast enough.

I've been googling for different implementations of this but I didn't find anything that fit the bill.

I have no fucking idea how to do this. Friends, please help?

I'm just gonna pack the universe dense with procedural generated graphics and effects. I don't really care for what speed it is. Maybe you can set it in the options.

Maybe you can edit the units manually since it's literally just a string.

Wait, you mean, you want water to pour or something? There's a reason why there's no 'actual' water in games but textures and areas where the character sprite changes to imitate swimming.

Why?
Just how bad is GM?
What features do I need to make an attractive engine to compete with it?
I can make tons of tutorials and stuff without issue but I'm just not sure what features appeals to gamemaker people. The scripting language is restricted to their engine. Surely it's not that nice? The code blocks you can use seem very limited and you'd quickly run into problems.

I've heard that XNA was very successful just because of its asset pipeline. Gamemaker has something similar right?

Not really that bad, you don't have perfomance issues until you have near 1k of objects shitting particles everywhere. And if you need that ridiculous amount of things on screen, you can easilly do it without using that many objects and without compromising your performance.
If someone has huge fps drops on a 2D GM game you have a 90% of chances that they accidentaly have an object being created every tic and that is what is fucking with their game.

>>146261970
Holy shit that looks so cool.
I think you should check this, but you seem like you've already done that:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flood_fill

If you want to give up on realism, then maybe you can do something they did in most SNES games: have a simple blue layer, and raise-low that based on the water level.

If this has no purpose game play wise, then there's no point to implement it other than showing off your skills.

>>146262252
I've seen your game a lot but I still don't understand how it works.

>>146262268
You need to remove that blur or whatever occurs when rotating the camera. Gamers hat that sort of thing

>>146262268
YES

>>146262170
I'd love to but there's not really any tutorials for retards. I know what the Lagrangian and Eulerian method entail but that's doing me no good.

>>146261970

From your gif it looks like the water cells collide with each other? Maybe it would be better to give them a density. Like, as the water pours down it emits cells of density 1 over and over, and once they hit the bottom they start to collide, but when the collide they increase the density and a cell disappears and the density of the cell it collided with gets incremented. But if their is a neighbour that is non-collision and lower density (including 0) to the cell, it takes some of that density.

That should cause the water to spread right? Just an idea.

Alternatively, if the pouring is continuous and the geometry is non-moving, once I tile is water it's never gonna be not water again, right? So you could remove it from the update targets and ignore it, just assuming it's water. Or come up with some rules around when to ignore it and when not to eg. turn the cell off if it's nearest non-water neighbour is over X distance away and turn all your neighbours within range X back on if they're off and you have a non-water neighbour. Maybe something like that would help with performance?

>>146262342
>rising blue layer
Right, that's an option, though completely useless to me. I even tried to figure out some system with a multitude of set rectangles that can get filled with water independently, but even that isn't good enough.
Actual, flowing water is the absolute must for gameplay purposes.
The gameplay is basically running from water, barricading against water etc.

>>146262515
Thanks for your help, anon, but I included the gif merely as to show the rough concept of what I'm trying to accomplish.You should pay it no attention beyond that. I'm trying to figure out some new approaches, it doesn't even have to be tiles, just so the water would work.

>density
Was actually of one ways of doing it, yes.

If everything else fails, I'll remake the current system with more insight in actually making things run smooth and efficient from the computational standpoint, along with your input, anons. But first I'd like to see if there are any other approaches. As the other guy said, Eulerian and Lagrangian simulation are both an option but I'm a fucking retard and there are no tutorials on how to actually do it from the scratch for me.

>>146262550
I see, that's a neat idea.

Another thing which you might want to try is the A* path finding algorithm.

Form your gif, I assume that each block of water behaves as some sort of entity which wants to find his way to the ground. After one water block is in place, then you add that to your map and it'll behave just like a wall which has to be avoided by the upcoming water entity.

Got the basics of a second attack for the boss.

https://docs.yoyogames.com/source/dadiospice/002_reference/physics/soft%20body%20particles/index.html
GM Studio has soft body simulation engine, you can use it if you want "realistic" fluid simulation

>>146262951
Going down is only one of three directions.
It's basically:
>Check if down is blocking
>If not, move there, if yes, randomly decide on left or right, check there
>same with the opposite direction
It doesn't stop but merely pauses (in later version I think after 10 ticks) when it can't find a way forward. If this wasn't possible, with your approach if you removed a wall, the water would just stay there.

What you're seeing in the gif is when the water can as well go up, which is the wrong approach.
There are some other systems like pressure, trying to alleviate .

In large part, it's the coding that's making this slow, I think, but again, I'm looking for different approaches to the problem. I need some insight from outside of the box.

For those who use C++: do you use pointers? I see they could make a difference in performance in a huge AAA title, but is it necessary to get used to them in a simple 2D side scroller?

passing pointers around can reduce performance

it is faster to have a global variable array and pass around indexes into that array because then it is always accessing the same memory

but if you build with whole program optimization then it depends because sometimes the compiler can make pointers still fast when

>>146263261

Yes, it is. You don't want to be passing textures by value and having them copied unnecessarily, you don't want to be loading resources like sounds any more than you need to.

Keep a static map of your textures and such, and make sure that everything only gets loaded once, when it is required.

You can pass by reference too for when you need to pass player objects or characters, or any big class, etc, to functions

Heartbeast RPG series?

Well first you can't expect to learn something completely new in a day, learning takes times. Those people doing tutorials themselves aren't pro or anything, they're actually learning as well by teaching others. Other than that yes you're probably right in saying you should do something on your own to learn, I've felt the same.

Tutorials are good and all but until you actually jump into the pool without anyone holding your hand you won't get anywhere. I've felt that way towards pixel art tutorials as well, or even art in general.

>>146264735
Shaun has tutorials on this I believe? Otherwise you could look at Heartbeast's RPG series; it's top/down but the logic behind it shouldn't be different, just tweak the code to your liking so it applies to a sidescroller. It shouldn't be complicated at all.
Sorry I can't be more specific as I'm working on a top/down game myself.

I get that a Witch doctor or a Shaman would be very fitting, I just feel like it would be a bit racist and I'd rather avoid contraversy like that, But Hexer and Rouge sounds interesting, I had the idea for a sort of inventor/Alchemist so maybe I could adapt these 3 into one maybe

Why do people always say "rouge" instead of "rogue"? Rouge is red in French.

>it would be a bit racist

You're just pandering to SJW here. Any smart person would be okay with a black person being a shaman or a witch doctor because it fits their past and CULTURE. It's HOW it is. It's not racist.

I'm very rusty in my C++, but if I remember right then passing by pointers can actually be slower in some cases. When you pass by a pointer, it could very well be a 64 bit memory address. Whereas an integer may just be 32 bits in size. I'd personally only use pointers for things like textures, std::vectors, strings, etc..

Is it? Well you get the general gist, then. HM was made in GameMaker too iirc, so my game should end up sorta similar

>>146263261
Nowadays, the only recommended use of raw pointers (outside of manual memory management) is as references that can be null.

Never use a pointer when a reference can suffice, and prefer to use smart pointers because they track ownership (unique_ptr at compile time, shared_ptr at run time).

>>146267292
>I'd personally only use pointers for things like textures, std::vectors, strings, etc..
The memory inside all of those will be pointed to already. The actual structure you're passing will be only a few words large.

And you should pass by const reference, not pointer, when you're optimizing for size. Still, there's also the cost of indirection (double indirection if you're passing a reference to a structure containing a pointer to the useful data!)

>>146268189

3D modeling is hard bro

>>146267292
>>146268483
Actually, now that I think about it, passing an std::vector by value might induce a copy. Maybe I'm too used to Rust, where a reference is always a reference and there are no implicit copy semantics, and C++ compilers will optimize away passing by const reference if possible.

The moral of the story is: profile before and after attempting an optimization.

I have a static std::vector<Entity*> Game::EntityList, and im using references to entities to fill this vector up.

But with smart pointers, say an std::vector<std::shared_ptr<Entity>> Game::EntityList, I can't seem to get polymorphism working.

In my old vector, i just pushed back references to entities and it worked fine, but with smart pointers I can't seem to get the vector to accept me pushing back my objects onto it

>>146268898

>>146269134
You don't need to use matrices. Ordinarily, an FPS camera will just be defined by its yaw and pitch (and position, constrained to the player's head), and movement based on that is basic trig.

Matrices are typically only relevant for cameras internally because you need them to render, but they're computed from the vectors and sometimes quaternions that the camera uses directly.

"Allocates and constructs an object of type T passing args to its constructor, and returns an object of type shared_ptr<T> that owns and stores a pointer to it (with a use count of 1)." is in the description of make_shared. This means it's trying to create an Entity passing it a && to mPlayer2, which wont work. As for how to fix it I'm unsure. Instead of using make_shared try using one of the shared_ptr constructors directly, like "EntityList.push_back(std::shared_ptr(&mPlayer2))"

>>146270132
>std::make_shared<entity>(mPlayer2)
That's why. mPlayer2 is not a value of type "entity" (Entity?) so this won't work. However, if A is a subtype of B, std::shared_ptr<A> WILL be a subtype of std::shared_ptr<B>. So you need to somehow get make_shared to use the type of the object you passed in and not just "entity".

Probably the easiest thing is to simply expose the method as taking a shared_ptr<entity>. Anything else will get into templates, move semantics, forwarding, etc.

>>146270648
>std::shared_ptr(&mPlayer2)
Never create a smart pointer like that. If mPlayer2 wasn't allocated with new, it will crash (or worse) when the last smart pointer to it is destructed. Always use make_shared (or make_unique, etc.)

His problem is not with HOW the pointer is constructed, but WHERE.

Make them shared_ptr members. If they're not, you will be copying them when creating the shared_ptrs to put in the vector - not what you want, I'm sure.
>std::shared_ptr<Player> mPlayer;
>...
>Game::Game : mWindow(1280, 720), mPlayer(std::make_shared<Player>("player.png", ...)), ...

Aside: I would recommend against passing in the renderer in the constructor to the entities. Just pass it into the the draw method and don't allow it to be stored (you can enforce this with an "opaque reference" but it's probably not necessary to do so).

My Texture class requires access to the renderer to create the SDL_Texture. My mWindow.getrenderer() is a const function which returns a pointer to the window's renderer if that's alright

Right, that makes sense. I guess it's not a big deal if you don't ever plan on allowing the renderer to be recreated at run time.

Cool. While we're here, I was wondering why my code to limit velocity isn't working as intended:

if (GetVelocityX() > 200.0f)
SetVelocityX(200.0f, UPDATE_INTERVAL);
else if (GetVelocityX() < -200.0f)
OffsetVelocityX(-mVelocityX+1.0f, UPDATE_INTERVAL);

The top section makes the sprite stop very suddenly when it reaches the speedlimit of 200. Directly underneath it, you can see that offsetting the velocity in the opposite direction works perfectly as a speed limit.

I don't see why the top part with SetVelocity doesn't work, given that's how I've seen people on the internet do it when reading about game physics

What's the code of SetVelocityX?

I recommend against using getters and setters like this, it makes it harder to reason about code at a glance. You should also use a vector type with overloaded operators, other common operations, etc. instead of separating the components manually.

SetVelocityX, not OffsetVelocityX.

The fact that SetVelocityX takes the interval time as a parameter is a bit telling that something's not quite right.

I'm an idiot:

void Entity::SetVelocityX(const float& acceleration, const float& interval)

That doesn't even make sense, no wonder it doesn't work.

Your object isn't stopping, you're simply setting its speed to some tiny amount.

>>146274216

The problem is that it *is* stopping. I'm supposed to make it so that if it reaches 200 speed, the speed gets set to 200 again, thus it wont go over it on the next frame.

But the issue is that the sprite stops completely and then begins acceleration again, it's not a speed limit at all.

The one I showed with offsetVelocity works pretty much perfectly as a speed limit, give or take 0.1 variation in speed

You're forced at gunpoint to put a "black screen with white text quote that fades in and out" at the start of your game.

It LOOKS like it's stopped because the velocity ends up being tiny.

"Find your own quote, nerd"
t. anon

>>146274957

Okay, but the issue I'm trying to fix is that when it goes over 200, its supposed to get set back to 200 to give the illusion of a speed limit. But it for some reason it slows right down and then starts accelerating again

Also, I thought you were supposed to al all movement updates with delta time to keep them frame independent, that's why I implemented my functions like that

A game based on shooting physic based weapons (missiles, bullets) that are affected by planet gravity to hit targets. Bonus points for moving targets. Could evolve into a proper game with multiplayer.

I made something like this for fun a couple years ago, it's easy to prototype and can be refined in a lot of ways.

Because you're setting the velocity to an extremely small number.

Entirely depends on the license.

Some free assets you can use commercially, some require you to give credit, some you can't, it's up to whoever made them.
Any decent site should have the license clearly available.

>>146275420
>I've never seen it described as integration before, maybe that's something I should read up on?
It's high school integral calculus. Velocity is the derivative of position with respect to time, integrating velocity with the Euler method is position += velocity * interval.

That said, you can also just think of it in terms of rates, which might be more intuitive. Whenever you're modifying a quantity (position) based on its rate (velocity), you need to multiply by delta time.

>>146275083
Not the same guy, but fire is rapid oxidation of material, and the flame is a mixture of gases that are reacting in the oxidation process, producing heat and light.

Sun is a ball of plasma in which it's primary component(usually hydrogen) undergoes a fusion reaction (usually proton-proton/CNO) to produce energy which is then radiated outwards.

So while you're somewhat correct that both of these "reactions" produce light and heat, the fundamental process behind them is so vastly different, saying they're the same is as isiotic as saying that a bicycle and a Saturn V rocket are the same, because they make you move from A to B.


tl;dr you're an idiot
