Currently getting used to shaders, they really lend themselves to how I already write software since there's no pointers and such, that's basically how I do everything

What's the best occlusion culling method

>>103039373
Quadtree or chunking

>>103039406
What are those

>>103039513
a way to geographically partition your game entities so you can more easily cull them.

File: file.png (24 KB, 334x151)

24 KB PNG

>>103039373
well that depends on your draw method
if for example all your objects are primitive shapes or could be described as primitive shapes you could simply use that, for example if you have a house and there's a guy behind it you could simply represent the guy as an oblong sphereoid and check the radii against the cube of the house, if the person is near the edge of the wall and part of him might be visible, draw the guy
you could also use this as just the first step, since if none of the sphereoid could be in view don't bother with anything more complicated, but if some of him MIGHT be visible then you can break him into a series of smaller pieces and check those individually, there is of course a point at which the checks would be more costly than just drawing him but that depends on the level of detail
now of course that's just for individual objects
now for parts of the MAP that might not be visible you have what the other fellow suggested, quad trees and chunking
chunking is when you do what minecraft did, the world is split into large pieces which are visible within range and unrendered when occluded
quad trees are more complicated but more efficient, it's basically the landscape version of what I mentioned with the individual guy, you take the map, figure out which quarters of the map you can see, then begin breaking the map down into quadrants, checking each of those, and repeat until you are only showing the part of the map that you can actually see, you can make this slightly better by checking the geometric shapes against what's already been drawn to see if the existing quad is even visible, much like the guy behind the house

>>103039565
now for a full algorithm for culling first thing you do is eliminate everything that couldn't possibly be in your view distance at all
treat your vision as a cube centered on the player with the width of the cube being twice the view distance, check if the object is in that cube with simple comparisons, easy
then check if they're within view radius, just check the length between you and the object itself, this will cut off the corners and is a slightly more expensive operation, which is why we didn't do it for every object in the game (pythagoras and all)
now just cull anything behind the near plane, simple enough, just check if they're TOO CLOSE to the camera, careful to take FOV into account
next check if any given object is in your view frustum one at a time, check the x plane, determine if it's relative angle (plus it's angular diameter, do not forget the angular diameter) is within the x view plane, repeat for y and z
now you have a view frustum, at this point you can take whatever parts of the map have collided with it and begin cutting them into quads and determining if all those quads also collided, repeat until satisfied
finally you check the visible objects, first as primitives (a cube instead of a house for example) just to see if the whole thing is even visible before you break it down further into a smaller cube with a pyramid on top, etc

Am I crazy or should a vector of the form (0, 0, z_near) or (0, 0, z_far) not always map to (0, 0, 0 or -1) or (0, 0, 1) respectively when multiplied by a perspective matrix regardless of lh/rh zo etc BS.

Or am I completely misunderstanding what a perspective matrix is supposed to do.

I've been slowly but surely reverse engineering Havok physics out of Babylon.js to make examples for three.js

>Quaternions
>Setting properties such as mass, friction, restitution
>Setting the motion types on object for static, dynamic, animated, kinematic
>A lot of other get and set properties such as get velocity, get position, set position, set mass, etc
>Movement stuff such as impulse force, velocity, acceleration
>Created a falling cube stress test to show off how powerful havok.wasm is in the web browser (others have tested and shown it outperformed Unity)
>Did a basic controller that pushed a ball around Super Monkey Ball style with impulse and played with dampening and friction, gave it some bounce and restitution
>Made a restitution based spring material the ball could bounce on to simulate trampolining
>Did a capsule based controller by setting inertia so that the capsule couldn't tip over like a kinematic controller, it moves via velocity and has slow acceleration to a max speed and takes in uphill and downhill movement into account, takes doesn't stop on a dime but gradually stops via dampening to simulate real life stopping
>Jumping handled via an instance of y axis velocity

The need for shapecasting is to see if I can get it to tell me when the y axis of my capsule is touching another object to allow jumping only when it's standing on something.

Once I've got enough stuff reverse engineered to use, I was hoping you guys could help me with the fine tuning and numbers to create some fun stuff. Maybe a Gary's Mod like game for the web we could play.

the vulkan API is absurdly based but I think only those that do a lot of programming in actual engineering fields appreciate it
explicitness is king, its a beautiful API because of how much control it gives you
just wrap it appropriately for your own
>use-case

that said I don't see a point in SDL3 going this route

>>103049164
console forks of compilers are usually back a few revisions
I haven't checked in awhile but C++17 was very recent

How do I level up? I learnt opengl, got myself a triangle, learnt texture, depth buffer, cube, rotating cube. Now what?
I basically am stuck because anything that's a bit more interactive seems way too complicated and I don't even know where to start. I want to end up with some kind of a retained mode GUI renderer.

>>103049614
>that said I don't see a point in SDL3 going this route
Yeah I understand Vulkan being explicit even if I don't find the idea pleasant, it's the SDL wrapper needing me to tell it the same dozens of values every time that 99% of people will never need to change that annoys me, I shouldn't need a wrapper for a wrapper
Also in general it was just kind of buggy my log kept getting spammed and it would randomly crash, very sparse documentation too. If this ever ends up being useful it will still take many years in the oven, don't let SDL3 being "out" fool you.

>>103049708
Although to be fair it can draw a triangle in only a few lines while I hear Vulkan needs a lot more, so maybe it's only half as explicit

>>103049732
yeah the first triangle in vulkan is 500-1000 lines of code depending on if you cheat with vk-bootstrap

a few lines is pretty good in SDL3's case

>>103049298
Prebaked sprite light doesn't sound viable, because there are different light colors and HDR range. Texture look up for the light layer would also be expensive unless I do separate cpu calculations.
What I actually need is a palette look up which will come later. Until then dithering sounds like a great option, though doing that while keeping the lighting buffer swap free seems challenging.

>>103049435
>sdl3
Probably be my top recommendation for enginedev at this point. Good documentation, C/C++, all functionality self-contained in one package, AAA tested, even cross-platform if you're into that gay shit.

I don't really give a shit about it hiding boilerplate since that's a one-off thing anyways, but it massively simplifies handling command queues, root signatures, resources, and crap like that.

A perspective matrix maps a frustum to a rectangular prism. So, if you map points from the near or far planes, you should be on the boundary of normalized device coordinates.

You do need to be careful with handedness. In Vulkan positive y is down the screen, so you have to do a sign flip. You can see this
https://johannesugb.github.io/gpu-programming/setting-up-a-proper-vulkan-projection-matrix/

Personally to get my perspective projection, I found it helpful to do the entire derivation from scratch. Here is mine in Vulkan (with a reverse z convention).

mat4 perspective_projection(const float fov, const float ratio, const float near, const float far)
{
  const float cot = 1.0f / tanf(fov * M_PI / 360);
  const float z_delta = far - near; 
  return (mat4)
  {{
      cot,          0.0f, 0.0f               , 0.0f ,
      0.0f, -cot / ratio, 0.0f               , 0.0f ,
      0.0f, 0.0f        , -near / z_delta     , -1.0f,
      0.0f, 0.0f        , near * far / z_delta,  0.0f
  }};
}

>>103049637
you began too high level, ignore these retards who tell you not to figure out how things work
you need a key listener that has both keydown list and a key struck list, clear the struck list every loop, this way you can type without striking the same key every time
this should use whatever UI library you have to get keys as events
then in your main loop you want to check for certain keycodes, if your library doesn't have good documentation on that use a simple print statement to get whatever the number value of the keys you strike are within that library (some store them differently like sfml and SDL)
next you want to start working on your physics, try just drawing two rectangles to screen and then figure out how to detect collisions between them, use your keys to move one of the rectangles and change their colors when they collide
after that you want to create a "sprite" system, this will be anything within your game that moves, or is intractable at all, I would use either a struct or a class, depending on your programming style, give it movement methods, collision detection methods, and an AI method, make AI a method for now, basically you want to be able to control one sprite you select, and pass it to all the hostile sprites which then do a simple pursuit AI, that is they check your sprites position and then call their movement commands to take themselves closer
now make a map, this will use a different system than the sprite collision detection, just add in the sprite movement that if they collide with the world geometry they stop moving in that specific direction (make sure to make this a per-axis stop, that way you can slide along walls instead of getting stuck, it also means gravity can work when you move into 3D physics)
next encapsulate this into a "game" class with the main loop being within a run method, this makes the whole thing easier to manage and you can turn it into a state
such that you can have main menus and stuff in other states

You have to make games in the order of complexity they developed historically

that makes sense.
that sounds non-trivial to code from scratch? If that's a serious undertaking would the next best easy option be a billboard?

>>103052852
it's super simple, just make a single tiny billboard to hold a blood drop texture
once you have that rendered in a specific space in 3D space add a feature to your character that when injured they become a source object and then spawn a number based on how injured the target is with a specific trajectory, make them go in random directions
then apply gravity
have them vanish a second after they hit the ground, the pile of blood spots will become a splash on the ground so you kill two birds with one stone

God I hate debugging UE projects. I counted, it takes 10 ENTIRE MINUTES from the moment I click the stop button in VS, to the moment I'm back in the main menu in game in my company's current project, with NO rebuilding anything literally just stopping and starting the binary. This is a Development build so it's not even full debug which would be slower still. That means a 10 minute MINIMUM iteration time. Add a few source file changes and you're up to 20 minutes per iteration. God forbid you have to change a project dll header or you'll be out for close to an hour (or several hours, if you're working from home without access to the distributed build cluster and have to build everything locally). Changing a header on the engine side? Fuck man just take the rest of the day off, that binary isn't going to be ready until tomorrow even with full parallel distributed build. And that's not even mentioning the extra hour or two you spend cooking resources/compiling shaders after the damn thing boots for the first time after clearing your local cache, when you're remote without access to the central DDC.

How can people just work like this and think it's okay? Before we adopted UE it was like 20 minute iterations MAX if you changed a global header and had to rebuild the entire project, plus maybe an hour of cooking resources a day to keep your local cache up to date (which you could schedule for lunch break or whatever), and once everything was cooked that was it, no just-in-time bullshit while the project runs, no slow network file access to some central data cache, just smooth loading of files off the local PC. UE's bloat is insane.

The trick is that there are no tricks, only undiluted overengineering. Unless you want to hear about the camera angle or geometry calculation.

>>103060072
>the camera angle or geometry calculation
Yeah, that.
>no ortho
holy hell that looks cool

>>103060109
Camera is a simple ortho projection and it looks at a 45 degree angle at the world. Everything is stretched at y and z axis to compensate for that.
Geometry calculation works by iterating tiles from bottom to top and accumulating height at walls and slopes. This gets more complicated as top ledges can't just decrease height because the actual altitude is unknown due to the used art's inherent perspective. That's what I call terminators, which force the algorithm to look up the height from other neighboring tiles. Any z coordinate change in the geometry has to be offset by y axis, meaning it can only get closer or further from the intended camera angle, to keep it consistent.

Server & client multiplayer open-world sandbox.

>>103062637
Because they're graphical applications trying to guess your intentions (and failing at it), when you tell ffmpeg you are being explicit, it will do exactly what you tell it to.

the more useful and productive the language is, the slower it takes to compile.
actually I don't know how long it takes to compile C# / unity code.
Depending on the size of the executable, it should not take 5 seconds to link your code, that reminds me of the performance hit you get from using vcpkg manifest mode, the main reason why I use classic mode is because it won't impact build time as much.
I think there might be a way to prevent manifest mode from being super slow (you could speed it up to be just as fast, but my personal problem is that it copies the binaries into your cmake folder and wastes like 200mb more space).
Also you can't use incremental linking with address sanitizer, you should not be debugging without it.

Slow and awful experience. Ditched those recently for ndk-build (makefiles on android) and dependency vendoring.

in that case it's obvious the problem with performance is your toolchain.
it's not like cmake or vcpkg does anything special that affects the speed of linking (as long as vcpkg isn't using manifest mode, AKA I think it polls git for changes every time you build? but I don't remember)

You actually got it right the first time, as the webm has orthogonal projection turned off.
Here's the general idea. There are some nuances like needing to set the reference height tile that would solve the whole system. You also run the whole thing in a loop until no changes are made or it's fully resolved (there might be some graph method to this but I was too lazy this time).
Walls are just steeper slopes and more aggressive terminators, cutting off left-right look up at the edges. Order of calculation is not that important as long as you always check if neighboring tile is fully resolved.

I'm not actually writing a physics engine. I'm tearing babylon's havok.wasm and havok.js file out and trying to make as much stuff as I can work in three.js. The problem is there's no documentation for havok.js because it was written to be used in the Babylon plugin, so I'm pretty much brute forcing it.

I just finished the first rough version of a character controller.

>They made Havok free for the web in WASM

>Havok outperformed in three.js over unity and Godot with Havok
i wonder how much this has to do with physics, and how much with other engine stuff. obviously unity and godot are way heavier by default, but the projects could've been setup differentlly, like using (or not) instanced rendering
who even uses havok in unity/godot? there is physx, and there is and unity.physics which would excel in stress-test like that, although i guess it wont work in a browser
having said all that, i am still glad that there is actually performant physics engine for the web that works in a lightweight free game engine

>>103065198
Coincidentially, I've swapped from three + cannon to babylon because of the physics. Performance was getting terrible because of physics and three didn't want to work with multithreading, so I tought I could as well go for a propper engine. In the end I just scrapped physics and spend about a week doing my own collisions.
Did you implement the controller with or without physics? In cannon the task was very simple.

>>103054942
>just saw how many rotating cubes I could drop before performance decreased on a 2080 ti and i7
Word of warning: my performance issues with cannon didn't happend due to mass, it happened due to size of the world. I implemented procdecurally generated terrain and once I got 300~ meter from the starting point performance dropped despite not using my system ressources and me dropping older parts of the world. The reason might have been communicating from wasm to JS which might also crop up in havoc.

If it were me, I'd probably just marathon Godot tutorials for a week. Like nonstop, hyper-autistic adderall focus them. You'll learn enough programming as you go.

You probably want to use an engine because you won't be able to go from nocoder to making your own engine in a reasonable amount of time. I wouldn't recommend that unless you want to specifically be an engine dev.

The other option is Construct 3. I've heard nocoders like it (I think it uses a kind of visual scripting system) but I've never personally used it.

haven't seen that smiley face for a while. very cool.

Ok so hear me out. I got this idea for a game engine written in Rust. Why Rust? Because I don't like C++ and C just doesn't have the features that I like. So I'm going to have the main structure, something like World. This structure is going to contain containers (something like HashMap<ComponentType, Vec<Component>>) for all the components (which are structs) that can exist in the world like Position, Rotation, Scale, Color etc. You can also put all the resources into it, like Textures, and then use them by their ids. When inserting something into the world, you get back the id which is basically an index in a bucket where that struct was inserted. So you can get it back by providing the type of the struct T and the returned index. You can then read one value or multiple (slice of values) immutable and mutable. This should deal with the borrow checker/unnecessary copying. Plus since all the types will be grouped together in buckets based on types, it should be easy to get advantage of SIMD/multithreading for calculations. So then, in order to create a game object with multiple parameters like Translation, Rotation, Scale, etc. you insert those structures into the world (one by one or as a tuple in one batch), get the ids and then construct your GameObject with the ids you got from the World: GameObject(ti: TranslationId, ri: RotationId, si: ScaleId). The problem here is to somehow ensure that you can't get back a component by incorrect id (like Translation by ScaleId). Then also need to figure out how to remove components from the buckets as it will create a gap in the bucket. This is basically like ECS, but without the queries (which I don't really like). Why not just use Bevy? I have tried Bevy and didn't really like the way it forces you to write all the code in one pattern where you need to use queries and send signals and all that shit. It's too rigid. I just want my game loop and then do whatever I want inside of it. What do you think?

>>103072361
>For what reasons beside deferred did MSAA loose its popularity?
MSAA isn't compatible with the new DXGI flip model on Windows, so if a modern game wants to support MSAA they have to resolve it in a shader which defeats the point.

>>103072422
>new DXGI flip model on Windows
I'm sorry what is that? Something introduced by DX12?
>they have to resolve it in a shader which defeats the point.
Yep, MSAA getting hardware accelerated sounded nice on paper. I thought deferred killed that but I don't see how it's not possible to "simply" use MSAA with deferred (you do your 4x sample on each of the gbuffer texture).

>>103072439
>I'm sorry what is that? Something introduced by DX12?
Used by DX12 but not part of it. You'll have to reach the MS docs to get a full answer on what DXGI is because it encompasses a huge amount of Windows functionality. Doesn't matter what graphics API you're using, if it's being displayed to the screen on Windows it's going through DXGI at some level even if you're not personally calling into it.

Extremely based. My dream would be to make a Halo: CE like game and that is basically a quake engine game with vehicles and basic violence.

how do you even render vector art in a shader, is there like a reasonable equation for a pixel to take its own position in a quad and calculate if that's inside of a shape defined by a potentially massively complex shape?

Like the other anon said, DXGI_SWAP_EFFECT_FLIP_SEQUENTIAL added in Windows 8 does not support MSAA and is used by virtually 100% of video games on Windows made since it was implemented.

If anything is "literally the only reason", it's that.

>>103074246
I don't know what the fuck that is but MSAA died long before Windows 8 and I can make a forward rendered video game right now and turn MSAA on

I'm considering representing characters in my game as 2D images, with one image per a "unique pose". There would be about 8 poses per character -- 6 front-facing (facing the camera in a "battle view"), and 2 back-facing (facing away from the camera). I am stuck deciding between two styles for these images -- 64x64 16-color sprites ala GBA/SNES, or high-res (256x256) black and white "manga-style" drawings. I'm assuming that each image for the 16-color style will be 4KB, and each image for the manga style will be 64KB. Assume that I have 200 unique "monster characters" (this is an RPG... of a certain kind), meaning the total filesize for all monster sprites would be ~6MB for the 16-color style, and 100MB for the latter style. Which style should I choose? Does file size not really matter? I know we all have lots of ram and storage space, but I'd still like to have assets take up little space (i'm autistic)

Transparency is such a pain in the butt.

trying out a bunch of new languages for game dev. so far i've tried out:
- zig (some good, some bad)
- rust (no no no no no)

gonna try out c3 and odin next anyone got any other languages i should try out?

what was the bad on Zig?

when you're ready to stop being a baby playing with memelang toys, c++ is there for you

>>103079050
dont like putting data and functions together. prefer the simple c style where your program is essentially a long list of structs and functions. you CAN program in zig like this but it feels like your fighting the language.

other than that zig is a damn ugly language, not rust or modern sepples levels vomit enducing, but still a bit of a minger.

there are some good sides to zig thoughbeit:
- c interop
- good meta-programming
- nullability operator
- good standard library
- arenas and pools

i might come back to zig if c3 or odin dont tickle my fancy desu.

I'd argue it's even worse than rust. have you tried making something that requires casting from floats to int or vice versa, they unironically want you to use this when you want to cast something or do floating point division

@as(i32, @intCast(i))
@as(f32,@floatFromInt(23))
@divTrunc(@as(f32,@floatFromInt(32)),5.0)

// real code I had to write
const gap: f32 = @divTrunc(@as(f32, @floatFromInt(rl.getScreenWidth() - (4 * obstacleWidth))), 5.0)
const offsetX: f32 = @as(f32, @floatFromInt(index + 1)) * gap + @as(f32, @floatFromInt(index)) * @as(f32, @floatFromInt(obstacleWidth));

I had to write these 2 lines back to back, and at that point I was done with zig. I honestly prefer rust's way of casting, it's at least not vomit inducing.

x as type

this is way better to read, mostly because it logically makes sense while reading from left to right and doesn't make me vomit.
Though I agree arena, pools, allocators by default are some nice features.
Unless they find a easier way of doing casting, in it's current iteration I'm never touching zig for gamedev.

>>103079511
i just hate putting things in parentheses. it's always like 6+ ctrl+right_arrow presses minimum for complex values.

>>103079511
zig really is so fucking ugly

the sepples code I've been writing lately, in comparison, is so beautiful

>>103074145
Despite what anons here say about Rust it is on par with C++, however C++ will be easier for gamedev due to it being the golden standard since the late nineties. All the tools and libraries are C/C++ and majority of learning material will be C++.

Most importantly you will have to wrestle the borrow checker and iteration times will be slower due to the much stronger type system. People like to shit on OOP but for games and GUI I'd argue it's the best paradigm, and while you can do some OOP lite in Rust it is not so ergonomic.

Stay clear of Bevy and other ECS shit, focus on Rusts strengths and make plenty of state machines, and other than that use it as a better C. Rusts structs and enums are very powerful so utilise them well.

Finally raytracing in one weeking is a very good starting point for graphics programming and if you already know Rust it shouldn't be so hard to convert C++ to it, worst case look up cppreference and learncpp.

>>103081019
There is literally nothing wrong with ECS. It's just composition that is a lot easier to modify vs. updating a class or struct with new fields. You can even have a "god component". Plus, with selective querying it's so simple to quickly enable/disable behavior.

Organizationally it's so much better

>>103081019
>>103081049
Video games?

>>103081019
Yeah I know Rust, at least enough to get by the borrow checker. I know C++ so it's not that hard to convert the code. I already started the ray tracing in one weekend. I was just questioning the quality of the resource itself, whether it was a good starting point or not.

>recommending rust in a game engine dev thread
lol

practically every real game dev library targets C/C++ and all the documentation and learning resources are going to be written for C/C++

writing a toy game engine in a meme language is for people who already know what they're doing and have nothing better to spend their time on

Anyone running Unityhub on linux? I'm getting stuck on the sign in.

>>103081221
Someone who's enginedeving for fun probably wouldn't go through the trouble of using a big state of the art C++ library anyway, so that doesn't matter.
What C++ libraries do (you) use in your hobby enginedev projects?

>>103071713
looking sick, if you are going to release it, is it going to be as a separate engine, or the game you make with it? any plans or developing a vfx graph like in unity or ue? for the particles

i used unity in docker for cicd pipelines. i dont think i used hub though, only cli arguments for the editor and logged in using license files (for free version) that you generate beforehand. look up cli arguments for editor (and maybe for hub if its easier)
