Re: Are you kidding me, Java?

What, you think I have a Java environment set up and ready to go to test this? ;)

Re: Terra - A low-level counterpart to Lua

Officially spent all morning reading and researching Terra. What an amazing fucking idea and an amazing language. The guys at Standord who created this are total badasses. It JIT compiles into machine code and interoperates seamlessly with Lua and C. The thing that I thought was the most orgasmic to...

But that won't work either. A byte is represented as two characters: 0x00. One character is a nibble (4 bits).

Re: Simple 2D RPG Engine

Basically it's doing a bounding box collision detection between the player and the specified tile, if the player is colliding with the lower tile it shifts the depth value down in lua, however if the player is colliding with the upper tile it shifts the depth value up. To keep from creating unneces...

Re: Simple 2D RPG Engine

I handle all my warping/transitions through lua however this gets tedious so I'm working on putting in place some sort of warping system to sort that matter out. That's cool, but what does that look like at a lower level? Is there a bounding box at the bottom of the steps where Lua is promoting the...

Dear 0x0000000:

I am extremely curious to know what the fuck kind of architecture you're running where the width of a memory address is 28-bits.

Sincerely,

Re: Simple 2D RPG Engine

Looks sexy as shit! I especially liked that Lua function to elevate his ass. How are you handling transitioning the player's depth? For example, when you walk up the ladder, and your depth becomes 1 (or whatever) to put you above the bridge (when you were below it)? Are you also handling the z-order...

Re: New Tomb Raider

Been playing the shit out of this game more... It's definitely the best game I've played in a long time, and one of my new all-time favorites. Any girl who has the balls to hide in a river of blood from a bunch of cult assholes is totally my type. http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-rq91Mk3q6Pc/UUI2AerGDWI/AA...

Re: Please help a brother out!

I have hooked Marcel up with a job interview, taken a programming test for him, gotten his feet in the door, given him money for a drug detox kit (which he then spent on more drugs instead of detoxing), I have cooked him meals and hand-delivered them, I have given him money that he still hasn't paid...

Re: The Secret that is OpenGL - Getting Started/Resources

I'm still a little confused at what I would want to use the projection matrix for. It's for defining viewing coordinates, perspective, and the bounding volume of the viewport. When you set up an orthographic projection or use gluPerspective, you are actually setting this matrix up behind the scenes...
