Alrighty, i finished several control types for the control panels. Now i can easily hook all sorts of ship functions to them. I also made myself a small sketch to have a rough idea which controls will go where on the panel. Maaan designing cockpit button placement so it isn't shit ain't easy. It's fun though. I have to watch out so i won't over do it, since nobody will be interested in learning what 10 million different switches do.
I will have to slap some sort of radar on the dashboard too.

>>161751108
>Is the shader script run for every pixel being drawn?
The fragment shader is run for every fragment rasterized, though they might not be visible due to depth/stencil rejection.

>How do I get the width/height of a single pixel for use in the shader?
1, 1

>Is the screen measured from 0 to 1, or from 0 to the width in pixels?
gl_FragCoord is in window coordinates. Using the interpolated position X and Y it's [-1, 1] in both dimensions.

>>161751108
shaders are almost bad as engine dev, good ones take forever to make and all they do is add some crappy effect, it's not worth it

You can now level up! Although stats increase by arbitrary numbers for now.
Also, technically, you can perform normal, side, up and down attacks (though they all do the same damage).

Not sure what to work next: enemy AI, inventory, dialog system, equipment, setting up the UI for the things I already have or making some models. When you have so little done, it's hard to choose where to start.

Not sure what this means, would it be a concern for a simple pixel platformer?

So what would I write to access the rgba of a neighboring pixel? Something like texture2D( gm_BaseTexture, v_vTexCoord + 1) ?

>Using the interpolated position X and Y it's [-1, 1] in both dimensions.
Interesting. I tried setting the red value equal to the x value, so theoreticaly it should be 0 when centered on the screen. But when I moved to the right of the screen, it stayed 0.

v_vTexCoord isn't in screen coordinates. Instead of adding vec2(x, y), you add vec2(x/width, y/height).

Something like gl_FragCoord.x+1?

That would only work if you were sampling from a full screen texture and you were using a texel sampling function and not on that uses UV mapping.

Anyone here work with cocos2d-x? (C++)

I'm currently working with libGDX but not sure whether to move or not

>>161753310
Not exactly what I had in mind but maybe in a year or so

Which is better SDL or GLFW?

>>161752998
Löve is just C++ with SDL2 and Box2D. So if you know C++, there's no real reason to go for Lua.

>>161753523
What don't you like about what you're using at the moment?

>>161753431
Don't know what texels are, but please answer me this

You said before to add vec2(x/width, y/height).. What are width and height here? And for that matter, what are x and y measured in? From [-1, 1] you said, does that corresond to the screen or to the sprite's canvas?

Sorry that I'm still kinda lost here, but you're being very helpful and I really appreciate it

>>161753641
It depends. SDL has a ton of plus things like sound, image handling, game pad input, error message windows etc., while GLFW just barely creates you a window (like there's no default function to center it) and handles your inputs. You need other libraries for the other tasks. Which means you can mix the two. Like use GFLW for window, but use SDL Mix for sound and so on.

>>161753510
What's the point of making a game if you're not going to make it yourself? I'd rather make my own props and improve my skills. Burning out isn't really a factor.

>>161753906
UV coordinates go from 0 to 1 in both dimensions. So the left edge of the sprite or whatever is x = 0, the right edge is x = 1. A pixel's width in UV coordinates is 1/(width of the thing in pixels).

Does anyone have experience with licenses?

I am currently setting up a blog with a download link to an example project I made. I want people to be able to freely use the code comercially in their games, however I'd like to be credited for it should they just copy/paste it. I also don't want someone to be able to say "I made this" and earn money just by selling this example project or the system as an asset.

Which license provides this? CC-BY is attribution only and comercial use is permitted, but it doesn't adress the last point I made (selling the code as is as an asset or similar). Is there a license that fulfills this?

>>161755929
>>161755929
>but it doesn't adress the last point I made (selling the code as is as an asset or similar).
If you're providing the code for free then this won't work in the first place unless there's some significant work involved (wrapping it to work with a particular engine, for instance).

Assuming the UV for a 2d sprite is just the bounding box of the sprite?

I tried out this shader, which should look to one pixel on each side and change the alpha of the pixel to the highest neighbor's alpha, giving an outline. The result is in the top left (there is no black originally in the sprite).

It doesn't seem like a pixel width is 1/spriteWidth

>>161756156
Guess I'll just write "don't do this or you're a cunt" next to the license then.

>>161756165
I don't use GM so I can't really help with the particulars of how GM implements it, sorry.

>>161756309
I don't know why you'd even care, because you can't sell something available for free without there being some kind of added benefit.

>>161756309
>>161756460
Also, you might look into making these engine plugins or whatever yourself and make them cheap.

>>161756460
I just don't want to see my code uploaded somewhere else and people buying it when they could have had it for free.

>>161756681
I mean, yeah, you can say whatever you like in your license and people have to follow it, but that alone isn't going to stop anything from happening. You have to be prepared to issue a takedown and follow through with it. You also have to draw the line somewhere; what separates stealing the code and wrapping it up for a particular language/engine?

Imagine what it would be like to be so influential to an industry. Billions of dollars of produced software and technology (video cards, processing, etc.) can be attributed to your innovations. Imagine if your work laid the groundwork for generations to come.

>>161758823
I have no idea what your code looks like, but I guess you can simulate this just by adding velocity over time. eg.

[code]
if (turnLeft() && Math.abs(velocity.x) <= velocityMax) {
velocity.x += appliedVelocity.x;
}
if (turnRight() && Math.abs(velocity.x) <= velocityMax) {
velocity.x -= appliedVelocity.x;
}
[/code]

So it takes a second or two for the velocity to change to the amount that you want it to.

Getting the animations to work took a lot longer than I expected. The problem I was running into was that I was using one animation for steering left and right. It started turned all the way to the left, and then ended all the way to the right.

The Unity gotcha here is that for some reason it was using that initial rotation of that one animation to override the rotation of the wheel on start, and so all movements in the game are relative to a wheel that's already 60 degrees to the left. It's pretty dumb.

I'm also noticing that the blending glitches (you can see it in the jittering torque links) are getting more severe now that there's another animation layered on top of it. Maybe it would be best to just rotate the gameobject programmatically, but modifying model geometry so directly like that makes me scream internally so I'm extremely hesitant to go that route. Though, it would work.

When considering Textures and some sort of Texture cache when making an engine, should there be some sort of "default" texture loaded all the time for when the user tries to load a texture, but loading fails for whatever reason (incorrect file path, etc.)?

This seems like a nice way to handle it, but I was wondering if there were alternative approaches.

>>161761405

It seems like a handy thing to have, rather than crashing the program. I'm making an interface so I can dynamically load textures, but want to maintain a certain coding practice.

Map design is a completely different thing. It's game design basically, and I think it's trial and error. You can practice with map editors of your favorite games or with modding, or by simply analyzing the maps of games.

Damn, i wish i could be NEET too.

>>161767518
if i recall correctly they eventually made gms:standard completely free, so with everything but texture pages settings (it was automated), non-windows platform exports, some other minor shit and with forced splash screen
this is a bit of a step back

so for 2d pvp, you pretty much have to have the player centered in the screen to prevent situations where one player can see the other without themselves being able to be seen. but that really cuts down on shooting range.

it's a problem. I'm gonna experiment with player camera controls, but I have a hunch it's going to be a bit of burden with already having to manage shooting, avoiding bullets, and commanding AI bots.

What I do is have a bonus in accuracy if aiming in (while having a decrease in movement speed) and the camera goes forward.

just move the camera towards the mouse, that's unbiased for all players

what are some underrated juice methods?

>>161771118
Yes. Problem is that the exported game crashes on computers other than mine, so I don't even have an opportunity to debug what causes the crashes. In fact, the crashes also happened when I changed the location of the game in my own computer.

Also, there was the problem about ctrl-Z-ing causing Godot to crash and lose not yet saved stuff, which I don't actually mind much, but is still annoying.

>>161772506

Good hit reactions which vary based on the impacted area

>>161772587
That is really odd. I've never heard of an exported game crashing when its location is moved, or put on a different computer. Did you build all the stuff yourself, or were using an official release? Did you ask about it, or post a report on the github?

>>161772506
screen-shaking, underrated because everyone here hates on it

>>161766534
Looks good and the mechanics are interesting, it remembers me of Chrono Trigger attacks.

>>161772587
You're probably loading core assets for a local path causing the crashing like c:\programflies\user\me\assets

you need to find the path to local directory

>Started a 2D platformer game
>Not sure how to continue

I want to start other projects and return to this later.
What should I do, in your opinion?

>>161772943
It is for the greater good.

I think you'd struggle to find an indie action game with no screenshake whatsoever, but something being 'universally' hated will hopefully make developers more careful and clever in how they use it, e.g. bloom.

>>161772908
3D is fucking impossible, I will never be able to do this shit.

>>161772908
This. But don't be a fag about it like your game is the first and only game to do this like a certain japanese dev studio

>>161772943
screenshake hate is a meme around here like mixels because hipster indies like to throw it into their games with minimal thought and actually fuck their games up in process
screenshake is a powerful tool that needs to be used with caution - what's underrated about screenshake is not the screenshake itself, but careful usage of it

>>161772943
Too much screenshake and it completely diminishes the benefits while retaining the drawbacks.

>>161773179
It's easier than it looks, there's just a huge wall of difficulty at the beginning

>>161772929
What do you mean by building all the stuff myself? I think I did everything as sheeply as one could do, nothing advanced. About the reports, I kind of dropped Godot for now, so fixing the problem now is not a priority.

>>161773075
Yes, that seems likely. Though I don't know exactly what do you mean "to find the path to local directory". Is it about using an alias in the references or just relocating the assets? Anyway, maybe I'll try it next time I try to create something on Godot.

By the way, thanks for the helping /agdg/.

>>161773807

>people doing it poorly
Which just happens to be everybody implementing it in the first place.

I guess the correct way to do it is to make it so subtle as to be invisible to the naked eye. The screen shake only registers in the players mind on a subconscious level, leaving them with a feeling of deep satisfaction or "transcendence"

instead of arguing about screenshake implementation can any of u guys tell me some other ways of providing visual feedback to the player based on their actions

>>161774660
What are the player's actions?

>>161774660
Controller rumble

>>161774797

wow man this is nuts

>>161774858
You can see it rumble

>>161774556
>invisible to the naked eye
>subconscious
>transcendence
if that's unironically your conclusions for how to do screenshake then you should probably quit gamedev and take up new age medicine.

what are some of the things that consumes more fps and should be given some thought from the start?

The one's that were most blatant I remember were just
>multiple meshes
>instancing() and destroying()
>PlayerPrefs

>>161774492
I wondered if you compiled Godot and the templates yourself or if you downloaded the official builds. But it's alright, if you use the engine again and have the same problem it's probably an easy fix.
