>>148038235
repoasting in new thread, I was asking about how to do hitboxes for tetris, in monogame, anon suggested to make a grid instead.

And how would I do that in monogame? I'm pretty fresh off the boat. Since it's 2d, would I just use an array for the x and y co-ordinates, check to make sure the current block won't occupy a space with a 1, and step down? And if it would occupy a space with a 1, lock the block, and move onto the next block?

>>148038353

no plz carry on

>>148038784
r u srsly

>>148038627
That doesn't sound like a Monogame-specific problem. You could do what you said, and the challenge for you is going to be how you're going to store the block data so you can deal with multiple blocks and also rotate.

This is an exclusive secret non-mainstream thread. Post secrets here. Don't forget to sage.

>>148038092
>>148038353
No don't worry anon. We're generally considered engine devs. This isn't a friendly place for us. There's tons of people who think they're hot shit for really basic stuff.

And really it's not hard to make games that beat out /agdg/ if you try.

>>148041247

But you should probably read this:

>>148041218
Mkay.
Anyway, I finished physics. The entire thing sends a whole game state in a single packet to the other client which is EXTREMELY hackable, but oh well.
Next up is perfect physics.

>>148043206
>The entire thing sends a whole game state in a single packet to the other client which is EXTREMELY hackable, but oh well.
You don't have to care about that yet but really security can only be handled on the server side by verifying the player interactions. So for instance when the client player moves the paddle you send 'I'm moving the paddle' to the server, the server then checks if it's a valid move or not, throws it away if it isn't and there, now the client can't move the paddle however they want. And you always trust the server.

Of course in a 2 player P2P game it's kinda pointless because both aren't really trustworthy.

Perfect physics seems nice.

>>148044182
It's P2P, yeah.

Perfect physics...
I tried Box2D, the result was unplayable.

>>148044578
Not worth it for pong. It's not really a physics game. You have to remember that the paddles aren't supposed to reflect the ball. They're supposed to multiply the velocity magnitude and change the direction based on where it hits the paddle. It's something that you forget after having played pong a lot.

>>148044727
Right so, reflect basically, without loss of momentum. It is very much a physics game in my opinion.

>>148044848
Anyway, here's the demo

Well if your paddle is a very specific shape yes.
But no. Not at all otherwise.

See pic

>>148045282
It reflects and the paddle gives the ball some of it's momentum if it has any.

>>148045282
Actually did this wong. The angle of the leftmost and rightmost rays should have the same angle except added 90 degrees

I see the confusion.
You can make your pong any way you want. But the original wasn't like that.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TrezFjGF-Kg
All I'm saying is that if you want to clone pong you're not doing that if you can call it 'reflection'.
I played the demo. That's literally (maybe imperfect) reflection. Which makes for an incredibly boring pong.

Also i see that your problem seem to be that you didn't make the player paddle a kinetic body if this was box2d. Probably should be.

>>148045880
No, that was not my problem, please check on an update on what you're talking about.

As far as I can see the ball is reflected with some of the paddle's vertical velocity. Either way what you are saying so far changes nothing in the way it is implemented. Please be more specific.

>please check on an update on what you're talking about.
I don't understand these words in this context.
I have reasons to think that. But whatever.
>ball is reflected with some of the paddle's vertical velocity.
The second ball hit in the intro segment of the video is a clear example. He's moving downwards. If your hypothesis is correct the paddle should give the ball momentum so it's gonna take the slower path (more up down) towards the other side of the field. But you can see that it's moving almost straight forward just before there's a cut. That's the opposite of what you predict.

But it acts according to what I presented in my image. The closer the ball hits the center of the paddel the less of an angle it gets (it's closer to 0/180 degrees). The closer to the edge the ball hits the greater the angle is (closer to 270/90 degrees).
Here's a pong game.
http://daverix.net/projects/pong/
You can test this simply by letting the ball hit the back end of the paddle and having your paddle stand still. See pic.
I've made pong mate. I know this stuff.

What's the project you are waiting for the most?

this thread has the wrong links faggot

gamemaker users please help

draw_sprite_ext(spr_sword,0,x+20,y,1,1,270,image_blend,1);
if(collisionrect1){
with(obj_punchbag){
x+=30;
}
}

i want this code to just work with the punchbagobject that is beign attacked, but it instead makes al the punchbagobjects move

>>148062559
Fuck the links, this thread is dead, moron.

>>148062636
Use a collision function that returns the idea of whatever it finds (if it finds something). Most of them do, check the manual.
So:

my_target = collision_rectangle(whatever_parameters);
if instance_exists(my_target)
{
my_target.x += 30;
}

>>148064508
i dont quite understand what you did but it works, thank you

>>148065169
Basically, if you check an area for an object, most of GM's collision functions can find the object's unique ID. It is a variable you can access (also visible on mouseover in the room editor) and it looks like "100768" or something like that. That's what lets you tell multiple copies of an object apart in the game room.

The collision function returns that ID (basically it gives the ID as a result of its calculations, as if to say "here's what I found!"). In most programming language, you can do:
variable = my_function(parameters)
And variable will be set to what your function has returned.

So I'm setting my_target to whatever I find using my function's collision box. If there's an object there, it will return the object's unique ID. If there's nothing, it'll return a negative value (-1 or -4, I forgot).

Then I use instance_exist to see if I did, in fact, get an object that exists in the game room, and not a "nothing" negative value. If yes, I tell the object with that specific ID to move 30 pixels to the right. I could have used 100768.x += 30 if I was 100% sure it was the object's exact ID.

does anyone else prefer GM8 to GM:S?

>>148066115
I like GM8's color scheme better (black and green and grey is fucking stupid), and it has some functions like execute_string that are vital for one of my old projects, so I haven't ported all my games to GMS.

Also, Studio requires more clicks to load a project. But otherwise it's a bit better, I especially like the improved room editor and the ability to name code snippets with a ///comment at the beginning.

>>148066042

Implemented character status effects (basically stat alteration over time - so poison, heal, also instant damage (where the duration is just 0))

In the webm it's just a bunch of interactable testobjects but basically the cubes do alteration over time and the spheres instant. Of course the instigator of that alteration can be anything.

Gonna use the same concept on character attributes tomorrow (which basically could be implemented with the same blueprints, but I wanna keep it a little organized, instead of generic - also it's a tiny bit different, since attribute alteration can also come frome equipment).

>yet another low poly game by someone who has no understanding of color theory or lighting

It looks bad. Low poly is a fantastic art style when done correctly, and it looks atrocious when it's just used as an excuse to not put effort into your art. Why are you using realistic lighting anyways?

Make a really good demo, and promise to complete it and make it better if you get the money.
Also the concept needs to appeal too, is not going to work if you make yet another lowpoly survival game.

1) Have production-level assets ready to show off
2) Have animated gameplay gifs/webms
3) Make pie in the sky promises, even if you know you'll never fulfill them
4) Put the price hilariously low and put lots of """""stretch goals"""""

The perfect case study is something like Hyper Light Drifter (https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1661802484/hyper-light-drifter/description)

Also hyper light drifter put the release date at Jun 2014, even though it wasn't actually "done" until earlier this year. And by "done", I mean the absolute barebones game released on Steam. It's still missing most of the features they advertised. Also they ended up not hiring any additional employees despite that being part of the stretch goals.

Why did this 'look at all my downloads' meme start, it seems kind of mean to people who didn't get many

Can I just say something?

Sourcefam really is the worst person I've ever seen on the internet. He's not a bad person in the same way people on other boards are, like posting mutilated animals or anything. He's just rotten to the core, negative, and a bad person. He's a failure and he can't stop telling us about it all the time, and if it's wrong for us to point this out, then just ban us I guess?

It would honestly be a favor. Because lately it seems this place is an illusion where supposedly it's for gamedev but 80% of the posts belong to the same raving lunatic. It is hard to keep pouring positive energy into a place that is haunted by this person.

Anyway, that's my only input on the matter.

Fuck you, reek. You're shit and you know it. I hope something comes to you that removes you from the internet for good. I really do. You're so overdue for it.

>>148076431
i got a bonner from the ending.

Oh and to be clear, what makes him definitively the worse person I've ever seen on the internet is how he has dedicated months and months (from what I've seen) to being a horrible person in one particular board.

I know he's been caught shitposting in other boards when he started wearing the birdmath trip but it goes beyond that. He has decided that AGDG is his victim and that he'll never let it go.

Someone like this can only be "helped" by having something tragic happen to them in real life, and I don't wish bad things on other people usually but Sourcefam, honestly dude. Your time is coming and you're going to regret how many hours and nights, months and years you've spent torturing this community.

I wish you nothing but the worst in life, because it's truly all you deserve. Good riddance to you and your entire genetic lineage. You are scum that when removed from the human race, will leave a vaccuum for far more worthy people to fill. Goodbye.

Devs. Disregard this until it's deleted or we're banned, do whatever. Best of luck to you.

Might be the wrong place to ask. But do any of you know where I can get a keygen for RAGS Designer that isn't just filled with viruses? I would buy it but poor.

Even though it has lots of mechanics you don't often see in these games, it's in essence a strategy RPG. I wonder if I can even market something like that, but I'll find a way.

That screenshot isn't even consistent. The trees are low poly, the player is high poly, the rocks are low poly, and the buildings are a mix of both. And then it looks like it's going for a retro vibe but uses photorealistic lighting and bloom (probably just because it's the default in Unity).

Played around with the fitness functions today.
Previously, I simulated creatures for 20 seconds before measuring their walked distance. Now I measure the fitness live, based on energy expenditure - a creature loses energy constantly, but gaining distance fills it back up. If a creature's energy reaches 0, it's considered dead.

This energy budget will be pretty important later on, but I got a pretty nice performance improvement from this too - crappy creatures will be weeded out early from the simulation and initial, random generations will go by really quickly.

smash bros has a story

the premise is that the fights are actually all a child playing with dolls/action figures, and master hand is literally the hand of said child

plus if you could make it where the empty slots don't show up and that it's always centered for how many slots do show up
and maybe the butterflies move a little bit too fast

also if the sun is to the right, the shadows should kinda be leaning towards the left, no?

ok guys, let's start tonight nightly game challenge (Day #8)

tonights' theme is

"katamari style game"

you have only tonight night to make a game using that theme

last nights theme was "dodge things"

here's what I came up with

https://hephaestus_rg.itch.io/memedodger-nightly-game-7

there was 1 other person who gave it a shot

in gm8 i don't want to use the room function because it's terrible, so what other options do i have? how do i make an in-game level editor and save it?

Doing pixel art for the first time.

Should I make character even number pixels in width or odd?
Is even too symmetrical? Here's my first attempt.

Attacking works properly now, complete with hitboxes for attacks. Next I'm going to do a run through of player speed/momentum/etc to get it all refined a bit and then I'll start testing actually beating things up. That is my progress for the day thanks for reading

>friend suggests a framework for me to use
>it's kinda neat and works on PC/Mac/Lin/Mobile
>on Windows it only creates 64-bit exe files

Is it garbage, or is it safe to assume everybody runs 64-bit Windows at this point?

I honestly have no fucking idea what am I looking at.

>>148083439
Only because Microsoft force-upgraded everyone to Windows 10. Before that, running in 64 bit mode was a luxury feature only available in pro/ultimate editions.

>>148083515
yer mum

>>148083439
What framework?
And no, people need to upgrade already.

>even vs. odd

It depends on a lot of things, from the design you're going for (for example if you need a single-pixel line going through the very middle, you need either an odd dimension or some padding) to how it's going to fit in with the rest of the graphics in the game

>upgrading to W10

no thanks spyware

Are ds_grids resource-intensive?

>>148083439

A lot of major games are only in 64bit now. Anyone who would buy an underground/indie game has 64bit.

>>148083583
Win10 also has a 32bit version

Got 140 twitch bucks. This one is a really fun minigame indeed.
Looking forward to your next one. Katamary Damacy games are fun.
