what do you guys think of virtual coordinate systems?

I want my chunk coordinates to be relative rather than based on any world position, since they're just to tell if the player enters a new chunk and which chunk the player is in. So I'm just incrementing X and Z according to how the player moves. why not?

>>102761201
Sure. I've stored coordinates in the form of struct {chunk_coord, local_coord} in my voxel scene from last year. Getting pathfinding to work with chunks got messy though haha.

first for fuck godot it ruined my dev

C++ devs -- do you encapsulate windowing/input/runloop shit:
>into a base "Application" class (inherited and implemented by the game's own main class)
>above but with "ApplicationLayers" (Application is a final class but has a stack of "application layers" manipulated by the game that handle input, OnUpdate, etc, and those are called whenever the Application needs to)
>global functions implemented per platform
>separate classes for Window/Screen, Input/EventPoller, etc

not sure how useful it's going to be
AMD put out both their vendor specific vulkan extension and the DX12 extension only for their newest cards for no reason when device side dispatch is something AMD cards can very easily do, they have direct access to their command buffers as HSA AQL queues

if you want device driven dispatch you're better off using the CUDA/HIP graphs API or right now only targeting AMD platforms on linux since RADV supports the nvidia vendor specific versions of that extension

>>102763081
you have no clue either retard, what the fuck do you know about creativity? Please enlighten us, genuinely if you have any idea please by all means tell me why this is wrong and what a better alternative would be.

I know the bare minimum of GLSL to get my program running, what's a good shader resource to learn to do cool effects and the like?
And should I use another shader language? I think there's something called "slang" that compiles to your language of choice, and then there's also an unrelated program called "glslang" that can also transpile whatever you want into something OpenGL can consume (?)

>>102763125
How do you think not touching your peepee is gonna make you more creative

>>102763135
Shading languages are not complicated, don't go out of your way to use something different, it's just basic math operations

>>102763142
not touching your peepee for extended periods of time has an extremely profound effect on creativity. Maybe you haven't noticed because you don't do anything creative or you have never tried and don't have enough experience to notice the clear difference. Just to clarify, I'm not talking about joining an online cult, developing a weird psychological complex or anything I'm literally just talking about basic abstinence for certain extended periods of time can make a huge difference. I'm hyper-sexual and live with a gf so around 4 days to a week every now and then is optimal for me if I can get away with it.

>>102763437
How am I being ignorant by relaying my own personal experience

>>102763135
https://www.shadertoy.com/ and the dev's blog https://iquilezles.org/
it covers some of the math techniques used in rendering, especially things like more procedural elements
>I think there's something called "slang" that compiles to your language of choice
slang is fucking weird
part of me likes it in theory but i also know how hard it is mapping more traditional higher level concepts to the GPU
>and then there's also an unrelated program called "glslang"
the GLSL compiler was originally only a part of OpenGL and was traditionally fused with the drivers
in order to support more optimized drivers, multiple APIs (namely vulkan), separate higher level optimizations, and a bunch of other reasons they introduced a generic form of GPU assembly called SPIR-V, left SPIR-V-to-GPU executables to the drivers, and separated shader languages from graphics APIs
glslang is the reference implementation of the GLSL-to-SPIR-V compiler meant mostly for targeting vulkan but SPIR-V support was a lot to all the khronos APIs that they maintain (AMD never added it to their openCL windows drivers)
it also supports HLSL extended to support vulkan which is microsoft's shader language

>>102763148
basic bitch usage of shading languages is "simple" but lol no they're an extremely simplified abstraction over something really complex
i don't think most gamedevs need to interact with a lot of the lower level things but you should still be aware of your platform

>>102763470

Hello from /o/. I've been working on a bit of a project, disassembling and remaking an old DOS racing game. This started when I stumbled across a disassembly tool that can apply the debug symbols from the old Watcom compiler in a helpful way. Luckily, they happened to include the debug symbols in their release exe. It's still staring at assembly but at least we have all their function names and entire project file structure. I've had a lot of help from fellow /o/tists but did not realize there was a thread like this over here too. So far we have their asset mangling algorithm figured out, got all the game's assets, reverse engineered 95% of their track files, and the models that were hard-coded in C. I've written a pretty fully-featured track editor for the game and soon will begin reverse engineering their driving physics.

The project is located here: https://github.com/Zizin13/Roller

>>102763492
>abloobloo no one respects my poor industry retards
i'm here frequently, this is just the first time i triggered you in a while
also would you just fuck off with your weird defense of these morons
AMD has tools specifically for microbenchmarking shaders at the assembly level (the NVIDIA equivalent to the AMD graphics debugging suite is DX12 only and behind an NDA) and their entire stack is open source
it's not some magically impossible task to get technical know how especially since for AMD although it's gotten better recently if you wanted to do things like run anything GPGPU based you had to port it yourself

but oh wait that involves actually writing and testing code instead of assuming industry knowledge has any meaning
i don't need extensive experience in the gamedev industry, the exact same kind of shit you insist isn't prevalent in gamedev (yet every outside indication confirms it is) is in every other field of programming, it's the same kind of shit as cargo culting the gang of four book of design patterns or clean code

>>102764183
Very cool and pretty lucky with the debug symbols being there

>>102764261
The only moron here is you bro, you give out terrible advice because you think you know everything about graphics programming (because you read GPU manuals) but you've never actually made anything so you don't know how to practically apply it
And then you have the gall to think you're actually above people who DO make things

>>102764183

Recently, I posted an article about labeling commands. It's worth mentioning, using the debug extension you can also label queue sections.
Furthermore, Vulkan objects can be given names.

If you are unaware of these features I highly recommend reading this part of the spec
https://registry.khronos.org/vulkan/specs/1.3-extensions/man/html/VK_EXT_debug_utils.html

These features greatly organize your API calls for external tools. Tutorials never seem to emphasize these features of the debug extension and the importance of renderdoc but they are useful.

required if you want to render from a frustum further than ~10k units from origin, or do physics in large scenes.
realistically you should limit your scene to ~8k^3 to keep high fidelity physics but float can do 0.01 precision up to 16k and some camera styles behave better than others at larger offsets (velocity smoothed turntable is notoriously sensitive to float precision)

Anyone else notice a slow rise of /gedg/ popularity on /g/ and now it blew up and page 1? Made me smile.

how does TOTK's ultrahand system work? i want to try to implement a basic version of it in my engine. i'm using bullet physics.

as a starting point, i have updated one of my rigid body props with a bunch of attachment points. i modified my python blender exporter to dump them as JSON, so i can easily load the attachment points at runtime.

my screenshot shows a prop in Blender on the left, and some shit piled up in my engine on the right, where i'm drawing all available attachment points and their orientations.

so next i want to be able to create new constraints at runtime to glue shit together.

i guess i'll need to be able to detect when attachment points on different rigid bodies are close to each other?
or, rather, 'is the thing i'm ultra-handing close enough to be able to connect to any other objects at any of their attachment points?'

at which point, i'd create a constraint and lerp the attachment points together quickly until they're glued together?

>>102761510
input is heavily tied to your windowing system, but it's not worth doing this yourself when a hundred libraries have done this before you.
regardless, your runloop should be logically separated from your windowing and input handling, and only process queued input event messages once a frame

I like the flat / toon kind of look. In the previous thread you had a grass texture, while it looked kind of retro, it also looked too grainy to fit in with the units. I would go for flat color for the terrain grass (which is a different green than your units).

Here's a picture of what I mean. I reduced the colors so it looks more flat/toon like.

yeah I want to experiment with the art style a lot more later. Right now I'm still leaning towards the unlit retro very low poly very low res almost pixel art style as I'm targeting very low end hardware. Might also play with adding lighting with ordered dithering shading and some other things at some point in the future. The terrain textures are just me doing the spray can brush real quick in a 16x16 tile so it kind of looks like shit no matter what you do but still looks better than completely flat shading

here's a pic of some old shit, originally was going to do this flat shaded thing but I got really bored and it just felt a bit lazy/uninspired

The simplicity of the graphics kind of reminds me of carrier command. Is that what you're going for?

>>102761510
>windowing
I call SDL to make a window and pass a pointer to the window into the renderer to use it as needed.
>input
While SDL_PollEvent isn't zero, keep getting events and passing them to relevant subsystems.
>runloop[sic]
While the UI is not signalling to exit (SDL_Quit events are routed into the UI since the UI also handles things like clicking menu -> exit), continue the main loop.

>>102769966
not really, going for more like an old sega/nintendo game or ps1 sort of vibe

>>102770064
Yeah, that's what I was about to suggest. Make sure to add a lot effects, because seeing the 2d sprites like splashing water, wind trails really improve how the visuals look.

>>102761510
Expending mental effort designing abstractions for your platform layer when you're probably already using something like SDL is a literal waste of time.

Can anyone explain to me why quake engine and Godot can produce the same game, but have a huge gap in performance? I'm sure we all saw that one video where a game dev attempts to optimize his game using Godot, but I just don't understand how 90s graphics run so poorly on a newer engine.
<
Is it because Godot by default uses more demanding techniques compared to older engines or is it really just the "bloat" or whatever that means?

I think if you give yourself the constraints of low poly and low color it could force you to come up with some creative solutions. In a weird way, if you limit yourself to something like 16 colors per model from some master palette of something like the the NES it would make you have to think about how you'd make your models stand out and only focus on what's really necessary. I've often found that placing limits on myself keeps me out of scope creep.

I think this kind of flat style has some advantages. Like if you want to have different factions, a bright red or blue patch or armband is going to stand out more than it would if you went for a more "realistic" textured look. As would something like those yellow sergeant stripes (if the soldiers get upgraded/promoted). The trick is always to kind of hint at the detail and let the person "fill in the blanks" themselves (like pic related).

Cool to see the performance breakdown
I wonder how much faster this is compared to regular rendering

Is it stupid to use a full-featured UI framework on a (menu-heavy) game? Is the performance just not comparable to something specifically made for games?

What's a good open source physics engine to use for my game? I want it to look and play like a mix of Abyss X Zero (video below), Drakengard 3 and Nier Automata and I want to use a game engine that can handle a lot of action, objects and destructible objects on screen (it'll probably be similar visuals to this in order to make sure it runs). I'm taking the time to learn Raylib and Blender in order to make it.

>>102774514
GLFW

>>102771851
I think the idea is to cull as many triangles as early as possible since these models are so detailed nowadays (and we can see the triangle counts drop in the charts). Instance culling alone will still leave you with your subsequent expensive shading passes running on fragments the player will never see. Putting numbers to it should be done though since it seems this conference everyone is talking about meshlets. There may be more details on the benefits of switching over in another talk. But if you're not trying to render modern AAA-levels of geometry with your renderer it may not be worth the pain. Mesh shaders in particular lock you out of the 10x0 GTX series and older. And emulating mesh shaders with compute shaders doesn't quite work since mesh shaders have direct access to the GPU rasterizer like a regular pipeline, but with compute shaders you have to use a 2nd pass with the full pipeline and transition + manage memory along the way for your partial results. Reading into it, it seems expensive/non-performant if the card doesn't natively support mesh shaders.

>>102774904
It's definitely only for the latest AAA games, indies should not be pursuing these rendering techniques for dozens of reasons
Complicated to implement, doesn't work on older hardware, probably performs worse if you don't have a complicated scene, implementation is undoubtedly still buggy and good luck getting those bugs fixed as an indie

>>102775462
SDL_mixer sucks. It can't do some pretty basic stuff ootb (e.g. fade to specific volume) and has weird limitations like not supporting looping sound effects (and not supporting out-of-band loop points in general).
It's probably fine if you're making a game and are willing to work around it, but I've tried to use it twice now on engine reimplementation projects and had to replace it both times.

>>102775935
so what did you end up using?

My game runs at a fixed 60 FPS. Can I split up my sound into 1/60s chunks and play those chunks back?

>>102775947
I use SDL's audio callback with libsndfile and sts_mixer, which means I've had to implement a lot of stuff myself that's built-in to SDL_mixer (e.g. fading, channel management), but it gives me the control I need to implement arbitrary audio APIs.

>>102776071
Why?

>>102776090
If the game is running slow or fast I want to be able to speed up or slow down the sound.

>>102776128
You can already do that without resorting to playing 1/60th of a second long clip that will sound terrible

>>102776128
>If the game is running slow or fast I want to be able to speed up or slow down the sound.
So you want the sounds to stutter and distort when there's a lag spike?

If you had to individually place every block it would be super annoying - you would need to make a tool to make it more convenient (like drag a line and create a wall) - so in the end you're still going to be placing walls with a specialized tool, the only difference is the granularity of the architecture which isn't actually a fundamental difference, nothing is stopping you from having "the sims walls but you can actually divide them in a 10x10 grid" or whatever
If you're talking about graphics, like having thick minecraft-blocky walls, Idk, I think it looks kind of ugly and the only reason I'd play The Sims is for making pretty houses

>>102778001

cool but I don't understand why did the committee chose macros instead of the ability to run normal C code at compilation step, either real C code or just emulated stuff. This way you get shit like generics, automatic interfaces, and file embedding for free. You also kinda get a build system in the same language syntaxe.
I'd honestly prefer to run lua or python or whatever to generate the C code, at least I can chose the specific level of "macro" unrolling level. Can you even do a step by step macro unroll in normal C?

It’s over.

My naive ECS implementation took 200ms for 10k entities at 1k iterations with two components. It's down to 50ms now. Flecs is 5-10ms for the same workload, so that's my goal.

I also added a "Bundle" concept, which I personally like more than flecs "Prefab"

// Separately
world.spawn().insert(
    Transform {},
    Camera {},
    ProjectionMatrix::new_3d(75.f, 16.f / 9.f, 0.01f, 1000.f)
);

// Or Bundle
// Camera3dBundle = Bundle<Transform, Camera, ProjectionMatrix>;
// Can override default by list init or .insert
world.spawn().insert(Camera3dBundle {});

world.add_system([](const Time& time, Query<Transform, const Camera> query) {
    for (auto [e, transform, _] : query) {
        transform.rotate_z(45.f * time.delta);
    }
});[/code

Also added an `into_system_param<T> trait with World access for arbitrarily defined system parameter style dependency injection. So much fun

I'm satisfied with the performance on this one, vertex buffer is bloated sadly, each vertex is 32 bytes, so I can make different colour overlay for each vertex in a sprite...
Usecase? Coloured text, vertical or horizontal gradient, or those combined. No one sane would need to colour sprites with those options I think, but fuck it, it's a feature...

I'm using old-ass Thinkpad T440s, with some shitty integrated Intel GPU (incomplete Vulkan support, this is rendered with XCB+Vulkan), and some crappy Intel CPU...
Currently, with map 130 x 110 tiles, 1300 monsters, 1300 landmarks, 1700 locations and 1700 constructions, game uses 130 MiB of RAM and 7-11% of CPU. So it's good.

1. Believe. Above all. Believe. Mark 11:23-24. What you believe manifests.

2. Have a vision and don't give up on it. If I want to build a dynamic Ocean simulation, I'm not going to stop just because I can currently only build Minecraft water or just a water shader. Now, I'm going to go until I can place rocking boats amidst waves. Use your vision as your measure. This is your project. Not employment where you have to be ready for any situation.

3. Be resourceful. Learn on the fly. Look things up. Don't get stuck in preparation limbo. Start building.

“We all must try to understand what is happening, we need to try to understand what is happening and in my humble opinion ideology is only going to get in your way. Nobody understands what is happening. Not Buddhists, not Christians, not government scientists. No one understands what is happening. So, forget ideology. They betray. They limit. They lead astray. Just deal with the raw data and trust yourself. Nobody is smarter than you are. And what if they are? What good is their understanding doing you? People walk around saying, "I don't understand Quantum Physics, but somewhere somebody understands it." That's not a very helpful attitude towards preserving the insights of Quantum Physics.

Inform yourself. What does inform yourself mean? It means transcend and mistrust ideology. Go for direct experience.

What do YOU think when YOU face the waterfall? What do YOU think when YOU have sex? What do YOU think when YOU take psilocybin?

Everything else is unconfirmable rumor, useless, probably lies. So, liberate yourself from the illusion of culture. Take responsibility for what you think and what you do.”

funny you say that because I'm the guy who posted that and I've been re-reading uncle ted stuff and watched the ted k movie last night.

2.78 MB WEBM

Ran into some issues today with the coordinate system but got it working.

The whiteboard plan worked.
So what we are seeing here is traversal of a virtual chunk space which rubber bands the relative position of the player and focuses in on the chunk which the player is in.

Pay attention to the Terminal window with the coordinates to see the changes.

Simulation layer. Virtual Chunk Space.

I hate this.

>>102769726
what's wrong with this?

>>102788999
>>due to poor floating point accuracy and moving in fractions, it's impossible for the lerp function to ever reach the exact coordinates that you specify
please learn what lerp does because you're dead wrong

>>102789013
it will never get to the exact coordinates that you specify.

>>102789025
If you lerp from A to B by a time of 1 then the result will be B

>>102789051
nigger, if I wanted it to snap to that destination in one step, I wouldn't be using lerp. I use lerp because I want it to slide to the next position, I often use a lerp factor between 0.1 and 0.3.

>>102789067
if you never lerp by 1 then you will never reach the end point, that's got nothing to do with floating point inaccuracy, that's just basic math

>>102767370
you should include SDL3/SDL_main.h

>>102773955
GameMaker is the slowest engine on the market
slower than Python and Ruby and Basics
and it is unfixable without rewrite of core
for example currently every numerical variable is stored as float64...

>>102790032
It's not slower than Python

>>102790032
It's funny that sometimes incompetent people write "competent", aka rather popular programs...

>>102790052
GML is about 10 times slower than Python
nothing with any market presence is slower than that
the core of GML hasn't been updated in more than 10 years
that's why you can still decompile a game from 2024 with the same tool as a game from 2014
they just keep tacking useless stuff on top of this embarrassing engine

>>102790303
>GML is about 10 times slower than Python
It really isn't, you should benchmark that

I really would like to toy around with game dev or make demos but I find my desire to program outside of my job is really nonexistent.

Very impressive stuff anons, keep it up

tried to replicate this, this only seems to happen with the software renderer. using SDL_CreateRenderer will properly render a white window with no visual glitches when resizing. weird.
