>not languagedevving

Yo, where's the NES mecha piloting sidescroller demo?

>>171056227
Languagedevving is a stupid meme. You can't just make your own language. It takes years of theory and fucking around with assembly code.

>>171056465
>You can't just make your own language.
Watch me.

>It takes years of theory
Okay.

>and fucking around with assembly code.
Not even. You can generate C, you can use LLVM, etc. In fact that's encouraged (LLVM in particular) because you get all the optimizations as well as contributing new use cases for more optimizations to be made.

>>171056573
Good luck, you'll be the first person on /agdg/ to do this ever.

>>171056465
I'm developing a functional shader language for my dissertation. Languagedev isn't as hard as it once was now that llvm is a thing.

>>171058649
It's not that hard, anon.

For a scripting language the parsing is the hardest part, and even that's taken care of simply by parser generators or parser combinators.

>>171056681
>first person on /agdg
There's been many others, myself included.

>>171058909
LLVM handles translation to machine code and an executable for lots of platforms as well as a lot of optimizations.

You can also go from LLVM to shading languages like SPIR-V or even GLSL.

Anyone using Clickteam Fusion 2?

I want to have my game window be 854x480, but I want the game to be 640x480. Is the way to go about this stuffing a frame into a frame and scaling?

>>171058909
Khronos provides a translator already for SPIR-V, which is what I use. You don't even have to output llvm intermediate representation directly. There's an IRBuilder that allows you to just emit abstract instructions and have it handle generating the intermediate representation for you, then you can convert to whatever shader language you need from the IR. The challenging part is designing the language, not actually making the compiler.

>>171059370
>The challenging part is designing the language, not actually making the compiler.
I'm not going to use LLVM :^)

>>171059370
What challenges did you face designing yours?

>>171060231
The thing inside the O is dumb
but it also made me do a double take and pay more attention

>>171059575
>Why are you making an FP shading language?
Because GPUs are (or used to be) naturally stateless and side-effect free, so a functional language seems like a natural direction to go in. Functional shaders have a lot of benefits on the side as well - for example, you can force things like energy conservation required for PBR implicitly using a type system, so that the compiler will automatically warn you if your BRDF isn't energy conserving.

>What challenges did you face designing yours?
The big challenge will be exposing the things that aren't stateless that were added in more recent shader models. Image load store is particularly worrying. I haven't quite reached the point where I have to figure it out yet, but I think I can just rip off the IO monad from Haskell and make a few changes.
>I think i've seen a few others on agdg mention doing something like this unless it was all one guy.
I think I mentioned it once before when trying to decide if I should attempt it or not. Maybe someone else liked the idea, I dunno.
>>171058928
Octrees and distance fields would be two good candidates for that.

>>171060251
My language is going to be kind of like ATS but not nearly as ugly. Dependent type theory applied to a systems language, basically. Dependent types let you make more descriptive and restrictive specifications for data and code using types, and allows proving theorems to keep everything safe while getting rid of dynamic checks.

>>171060451
UE4 doesn't have area lights.

>>171060597
I'm sure that was the only reason

>>171056841
Make it a status effect after receiving enough force to your head.

>>171060597
>putting this shit place first before your friend
>not playing games with friends as social interactions
>using random reaction image
You deserve it. Now your friend can get a better friend.

>>171060625
>Image load store is particularly worrying.
I dunno about that. You could split up shaders into passes based on loads and stores, for example, and have them simply be inputs and outputs. The monad approach would work, but might be too powerful and lead to a lot of unwanted synchronization unless you can guarantee that each shader invocation reads/writes to a disjoint location.

>>171060768
Sad!

>>171060625
I'm over my head reading about langdev but I really love it recently. I also love FP and have been thinking about GPU programming but pretty strongly dislike C++/CUDA.

>>171060739
I've been looking for a >best way into understanding dependent type theory. Probably regular type theory first? I played a little with the lambda calculus and it was fun, maybe deeper with that?

Thanks much, these look really great. A bit surprising but really exciting that others in /agdg/ are into this stuff. I suppose a game engine is a pretty all-encompassing testing grounds for a language.

The only downside with quaternions is that most people don't fully understand them, myself included

>>171060768
I'm pretty sure you can just use any mesh with an emissive material. Both lightmass and light propagation volume lighting will use it as an area light. I think there's a box you need to tick somewhere to make it happen, though.

>>171062056
Learn complex numbers. They have a real component and an imaginary component. This leads to a representation of a magnitude and an angle that is easy to work with, e.g. quaternion multiplication multiplies the magnitudes and adds the angles.

Quaternions are just a generalization of complex numbers, with three imaginary components instead of one. This leads to a magnitude and a rotation in 3D. The operations all work the same way, e.g. quaternion multiplication multiplies the magnitudes and "adds" the rotations, i.e. rotates one of the operands by the other. Usually people just work with unit quaternions where the magnitude is 1, so it's just a rotation.

>You could split up shaders into passes based on loads and stores, for example, and have them simply be inputs and outputs.
That's actually not a bad idea. Images in glsl aren't coherent anyway, so dealing with synchronisation isn't necessary unless the user explicitly requests a coherent image. Maybe instead of the coherent qualifier in glsl I could have a coherent monad. I guess I'll figure it out when I get to it, though I'm getting close to just saying that I'm only supporting features equivalent to glsl version 330 so I can draw the line. I only have a few months left of the project and I don't know if I want to stay on for a PhD or not.

Is there any chance for someone like me to become a game developer? I'm 25 and I've been working in a field that is 100% unrelated to game development, but I want to make the switch. I'm the most interested in UE4, and I've started going through their documentation now as well as watching select interviews, dev diaries, and GDC talks from devs I admire to get a perspective on development, but I'm not sure I'm the right fit.

I really want to study alongside others but I don't have any friends who are interested. I'm not even sure what area of game development I want to focus on, I'm still experimenting and seeing what I end up liking the most once I get my head wrapped around using UE4. Recommendations, suggestions or advice?

No, they were pretty average all-white sprites with mostly tween animation. You have a very low standard if you think those looked "great". Only some of the shopkeepers looked great, at the cost of clashing hard with the rest of the game's art.

Question about Unity here

So after a lot of work today I was able to get my weapon model to change depending on what weapon I had. However when I went to change the animator so that the animations would change, it only changes the animation of the weapon, not the hands despite the hands being seperate.

So if I press reload the shotgun will reload in a way similar to the AR15 along with the hands, but if I force the pump animation on the shotgun will only move and not the hands.

Is there a better way to doing multiple weapons that I'm not aware of?

The idea I have of how it works is that you are just swapping out the weapon that is still assigned to the overall hierachy of the animation.

H:ZD generates their clouds using a low-frequency signal and a high-frequency signal. Now, this isn't anything special, of course, this is just Perlin noise. What they do that is special is determine values of the low-frequency signal for which the final signal will always be less than, i.e. isosurfaces from the low-frequency signal that always contain the clouds.

Then, when ray marching, they start with a larger separation between samples and only sample the low-frequency signal. When they hit that boundary of the low-frequency signal, they start sampling more often. When they exit the boundary, they go back to sampling less often. They also stop the rays short when the sample is fully opaque.

I use it solely for the sake of readability, though there are other uses.

e.g. instead of having something like:

where inventory[0] stores the ak47 object, you could have:
equip(inventory[weapon.ak47]);

that's because gm:s cropped your sprite when it was adding it to the texture page

I think it might make more sense to build a map of all stairs/ladders/elevators/floor jump points and the shortest paths between them. then do a standard dijkstra search to find the fastest combination of floor jumps to get to your target destination. once that is established, then you can do traditional pathfinding for your character on each floor. Honestly I don't think a heuristic that takes verticality into mind would be very helpful when you can only hop floors at a couple of specific locations

Literally Grain: The Game

its a very cheap trick

>>171078930
>>it looks good and id play it
it looks awful, god i hate nu-devs and their shitty aes taste over gameplay.

If you want me to do art for your game, don't bother wasting our time if you are too embarrassed about your code to talk about it

>>171070898
>player does one thing
>screen explodes
the worst kind of juice

>>171079041
you are still not telling me why it looks bad

i think it looks pretty good because it does look very juicey

>>171079041

Grain doesnt give it "grittiness" or "authenticity", it looks embarrassing fake,cheap, and tacky.
That with all the brown hides clarity.
That non'hud is not readable and probably just their for looks.
The exaggerated hitstop is too long as is the explosion.

its not juice, its just a hasf'dozen unneeded effects plastered on in order to mask the probably very dull game.

i dont know which post is more sadder

>>171079320
also with all those flashing lights, the lighting is embarrassingly absent.
And youd think hed add a fake glitch to top it off.
and the floor is confusing
>>171079373
why

>>171079320
I agree with most of what you said, but I think grain can tie together assets that otherwise don't feel similar. That gif is way over the top with it though.

Wish me luck aggy daggers, my AI is about to try something new and difficult

Gaggem doesnt actually make games and the only theme he can adhere to is memenu sim

>>171080586
because those are specifically designed as a way to identify whodevs so they can be shadowbanned
