Re: "Triangle" - Ludum Dare Project Flash Rewrite

This looks like one of the few flash games I would actually be willing to pay for if it came to that.

Re: Neon GBA Lighting Engine

New video up now! t7eGKzAsBZE Added support for lights to fade over time which is used to create samus' beam. This is done by giving each tile a "fade" brightness value (for lack of a better name) which decreases each frame. It's then added to the initial brightness that is set by the stat...

Re: Building a Desktop

I agree, you should get a gpu but no need to go overboard (eg gtx titan). I'm using a radeon hd 6870 which was was 1 gen old when I got it. Still plays games like Tribes Ascend, Starcraft 2, and Planetside 2 just fine. And NEVER cheap out on your psu. It is the most important part of your computer. ...

Re: Neon GBA Lighting Engine

How hard is it on the poor little machine? Looks pretty involved processing wise. After about 4 lights it does begin to lag a little but there is still room for more optimization. The static lights, however, are hella fast since they only need to be computed once. I should have another video up tom...

Re: Neon GBA Lighting Engine

Thanks Dude! I didn't even know all this stuff was out there until recently. I'll have to check some of these kits out. No problem man. Just finished light mapping and static lights earlier today. The only difference between the 2 is that the light map is an array of pre-computed values and the sta...

Re: Some music I created. Trying to sound industrial.

Eeire is one sick track. So far it's my favorite out of your songs. Industrial2 is not bad either. Seems like you already started improving after the first one. I'm a HUGE industrial fan so it's cool see other people on this forum have an interest in it. Keep at it. I wanna see more insane tracks li...

Neon GBA Lighting Engine

wyv_xqKumhk As of 3/26 I decided to do the One Game a Month challenge. March's theme is Neon hence the neon-ish colors. How it works: This uses 2 of the gba's bg layers. One is used for the lighting effects and the other contains the tiles in the background. The two are then merged with the gba's h...

Re: Normal Vector for lighting.

So make an effort to understand these concepts and it will help you immensely. Otherwise you're just hacking code together hoping it will work while never knowing why. The first step to computer graphics enlightenment is acceptance of this fact. It reminded me of this . This here made my day :lol:

Re: What books would you recommend for c++

The only book I've used is C for Dummies.
It's good if you have learned C yet as I would suggest learning it before C++.
