Hey

This is thethread for all project that are NOT done with Gamestudio!



Website I am working on

C&C are welcome

That's a Java console output.
Going to be a CAS. The left terms are an output of the internal representation of the terms, thus all the unnecessary brackets. The right one is supposed to be the final output for the user. For some reason it still shows some unnecessary brackets, theoretically they should be gone, but at least it doesn't leave out any necessary brackets.
Sorting the addends is not yet really implemented, there is just a stub function that at least uses an unambiguous sorting method, so equivalent terms should be the same.

My WIP 3D Engine:






This is a software renderer, meaning I did all of the 3D math myself. A floating point precision error is the cause of the texture distortion in those shots... yeah, I'll kill that bug eventually, most likely when I switch to fixed-point mathematics...

I'm working with a few artists to make a game out of this. Maybe I'll finish it in a few years if I'm lucky.

By the by, anyone who doubts my programming ability after reading the "bash grunts" thread should take the collision code in my engine for a ride... seriously. Unlike GS, this stuff works.

And again, the GS collision system works just fine. If you dislike the behaviour of the GLIDE flag, you can write your own GLIDE-movement with 2 (or more) c_move calls.

True, but I'm still not satisfied knowing I have to pamper the system by creating invisible blocks over a minor incline in order to get decent results... I mean, I used to use Valve Hammer Editor all the time and I never had to do anything like this. The collision engine worked great no matter what situation I put it in.

why a software renderer? just for experience? are you going to eventually switch to something hw accel'd?

Just for experience. Almost anyone can make a hardware renderer with OpenGL nowadays, it's been made so easy. Programming a Quake equivalent with OpenGL today would mostly involve designing data structures and writing tools. My project allows me to get down to a really low level and do it all myself, and I really like that.

In fact since I've started this project my knowledge of computer programming has expanded dramatically in all directions. I've learned so much about 3D math, assembler, advanced C techniques (function pointers ftw), caching, the floating point unit, the MMX unit, and more in just a year. I love this kind of programming.

Where do you get your knowledge from? And can we look into your code? I'm really interested in that kind of programming.

Keep it up, Redeemer! That's awesome. As I learned more and more about shaders, quaternions and matrices, I really wanted to write a software renderer (although I wasn't going to aim for real-time). I just never tried it.

I'm looking forward to playing the game!
