i installed vim, set it up for C and C++, downloaded Dear ImGui, Vulkan, and Glfw despite being a complete newbie to linux. i wanna make my own 3D game engine. i have no clue about what i should do first, how to do it, or why exactly vim is telling me about clang when i use gcc and g++. i know that it's a skill issue, i know that it's a bad idea to start out with 3D, and i know that it's like tossing a child into the pacific ocean as a swimming lesson. i just want it to be optimized, efficient, and memory friendly via object pools, constructors and destructors, AND with a low amount of dependencies.

Why do you think I so vehemently despise anything Japanese-ey? Their entire culture was built on stealing and culturally appropriating Western works and perverting them; yet when we Westerners do the same to their garbage they cry out (silently) in protest. There's a reason why "the West" rhymes with "the best", and I will die on that hill.
Also the OG Blood Omen is fantastic, I played through it and the storytelling has taught me well on how I should go about it for future games.

Maybe the Japanese wouldn't be able to make a profit on perverting western works if the west wasn't insistent on perverting their own culture heritage.
Not like it matters. They were only behind a couple decades. Everything new is shit on both sides of the ocean now.

Sure, the west is kneecapping itself but I think they receive a fair helping in it from the japs. It would make perfect sense.
After all, who is the publisher of cuntmunglery such as Life Is Strange?
And who has recently made waves tweeting that "it's okay to make pretty characters in video games"?
Create a problem, then offer the solution to it. Classic.
Make no mistake, the jap *is* woke. Japs aren't white. Why wouldn't anti-white sentiment be to their advantage?
Japs will betray America within the next 30 years, they are waiting for the right moment to snap their leash. You never managed to truly civilize them.

Personally, I began to despise Japanese media when I realized almost everything is just work/school propaganda; you ever noticed how, nine times out of ten, a new Japanese property just so happens to centrally take place in school or at work? What happened to the Speed Racers and Triguns where it's just some fun fantasy shit going on; even then, cartoons like Trigun steal from pre-existing media like the original Django (not Django Unchained, though that's not to discount Tarantino's filmography).
As for Blood Omen, it's actually a super cool game and I hate how, once more, I was not around when that coolness was popular.

>you ever noticed how, nine times out of ten, a new Japanese property just so happens to centrally take place in school or at work?
School is the only time they get to taste a semblance of a normal life, it only gets worse after.
On the other hand, many jap games, say Final Fantasy, betray a longing for being white. The peak of the jap's ambition and fantasy - what if I had blonde hair, blue eyes, and could walk into a weapon shop and just buy a weapon, and then go and try to fix my problems with violence, instead of bowing down to my boss and returning to my salaryman office?
Alas, all the soul in Japanese media came from indie works - mangas drawn and written by solitary authors, and 80s/90s video games which were all indie by today's standards. The moment the corporation stepped in, the slop began to flow.
I also despise how much sloppiness and laziness the japs get away with in their designs and naming. The jap can literally open a random european book, pick out a dozen names with a dart board, and make that his setting. Over here, you'd get stoned to death for doing something like that, and we do not have a "Europe" to cannibalize because that's us, and our familiarity with the works prevents us from abusing them in the same way.
Reading something like Frieren while knowing German is the most grating shit ever.

I agree. Personally, I like reading about all sorts of cultures for my game worlds before changing them up by virtue of none of my games taking place within any of our times and being populated by creatures who know nothing of our cultures.
What irritates me most about Japanese character designs is that the heroes all look like twiggy losers (like Japanese men); I can see why they do that (they see those body types every day), but this is a fantasy book, so wouldn't it stand to reason that the heroes should look the part and be jacked/fit? And what's the deal with all of the art from Japan looking exactly the same? What are they, artistically autistic or something?

I joined a 48 hour gamejam and I plan on using my engine to make the game. There's no theme and no strict rules so I'm mostly using this to force myself to work on this game.
It's a 3d frogger clone where you play as a chicken and other unlockable animals. I plan on having multiple levels you can play and unlock in the final product, kinda like how many mobile games do it.
I spent a couple of months trying to figure out shadow mapping but I never got a satisfying result so I'm shelving that for this game.

The current project I'm hired to work on I could probably have soloed in under half a year, if incentives were present. It's a 3D game targeting current hardware.
Your numbers are completely arbitrary, I know at least two people who went head first into 3D and got something done in about a year, and plenty of dabblers with decade-old 2D projects. Your data is confounded by the fact that 3D devs tend to aim higher as a rule, and you are probably comparing mid-high poly 3D with 16x16 tile 2D.
You might be thinking of learning curves instead, but this is because there's very few technical skills to learn doing 2D.
As a rule, animation is exponentially more expensive in 2D than in 3D. Do you seriously mean to tell me placing a few keyframes is worse than drawing and tweening entire frames? You're doing what would normally be the computer's job, on top of your own job.

And this is just the tip of the iceberg. Do you want me to explain how you're basically denying the existence of PS1 launch titles or say, Net Yaroze? I have all night.

You need to master Blender before you make any significant progress.
You'll probably want a FOSS engine or your own, for two reasons:
>privacy/security (both users and yours)
>supporting bespoke asset pipelines and formats
Be sure you have a good grasp on 3D rendering and animation in general, and be ready to solve problems that no off-the-shelf solution exists - there is no game engine with anything resembling benis-in-bagina mechanics or satisfactory fluid simulation. Prepare to do a lot of effects and shaders programming, not to mention physics, as no off the shelf physics engine is suitable for what you need to do.

Or just clip blinn-phonged benis into bagina and make a patreon, the average /v/ermin won't know the difference. This is probably the wiser route.

Instead, go to a tame board like /e/ and see which slut is currently the most popular, and just make a game where you fuck her or a chinese knockoff clone of her.

(Like stellaris, universalis, CK, etc.. Not trying to build a total war)
Yes, i know i'll likely give up anyway and all that, but eventually someone gotta start somewhere.
To keep resources in check, i'd prefer something as less as scratch as possible.
I dabbed into bevy a bit to create some modular space ships and while this was fun, it seemed the polar opposite of getting anything presentable in less than a lifetime out of it.

>>103658571
See my tirades above about how 2D is actually a trap that'll make you spend 90% of your time drawing frames (stills in your case, but they gotta be really high quality all of a sudden - you might as well just go to >>>/ic/ for help at this point)
Maybe try flash or flash-like 2D instead, the fact that so many flash smut games exist can't be a coincidence. It sure hits a sweet spot of being low effort without being complete trash. Another benefit is that you don't need to train your arm for line drawing if you can just bruteforce it with curve editing, it's one of the advantages normally reserved for the 3D workflow.
So, my final verdict is, go vector.

Hey, I'm not a dev and I don't want to develop games. But I want to ask what do I need to learn to "take over" an old abandoned 3d game from xp era. It's developed with an in-house game engine and C or C++ I guess. And by taking over I mean like "studying" its files, understanding the purpose of every file, understanding how the game is loaded and making my own tools to open and control game world and assets, adding features, mods etc. Like I'm the actual developer of the game.

>>103657661

So you aren't a developer and you don't want to be one but you want to pretend to be one?

>>103659400
I am doing / did the same thing. It's a little embarrassing but this is how I did it. I opened a word document on one monitor and the source code on the other monitor then one line at a time, I copied over each line, read it, tried to understand it's purpose and made notes about what each part of the program was doing. Then I would iterate and write a pseudocode to shorthand what it was doing, and keep refining until the whole program is shorthanded in a way that I can quickly review exactly what it's doing at any point. In a sense I re-specified the entire engine from the ground up. I have a folder with something like 1,000 individual specifications organized hierarchically. I also went through and respecified all of the file formats and organized all of the assets. It was an extremely daunting task at first and it didn't feel like I was going anywhere for the first 3 or 4 months, like it felt like a complete waste of time. I spent about 14 hours a day on it for a year, didn't take any days off. You know that you are starting to make progress when you start to notice which lines of code could cause a bug and then you can run the program and document and fix the bug. I have at least 200 self reported, documented "bug reports". All in all it wasn't about what I needed to learn, it was just about having the patience to make sense of what I was looking at, because there is nothing that was written 20 years ago that has never been done again, every single algorithm or math expression can be explained logically, it wasn't written by a 18th century French Mathematician.

This is just my personal take - if you really are forcing yourself to stick to vim instead of something modern like neovim or helix that comes out of the box with most general stuff and demand less time from you for configuration, as a newbie, you wll be really spending a lot of time and exhausting your energy just for using the editor, leaving not much left for being productive.

>or why exactly vim is telling me about clang when i use gcc and g++.
did you mean clangd? that's what most lsp use as backed for C/C++ shit.
>i know that it's a bad idea to start out with 3D
idk but its just a lot. You'll find it to be very hard if you don't take it step by step and rush to into completion, in which case you might also end up not having proper understanding of whatever you did. Take things at your own pace and don't rush.

>i have no clue about what i should do first
I'd say start with loading 3d models first then figure out a way to perform transformation operations like move, rotate and scale over them.
You are basically done with the first step with that much. All that's left would be encapsulating the features that your engine can provide into a "game object" or "node" or "actor" and provide a way to perform common and exclusive operations over these things while making it so that these things will be able to communicate with each other. Most engines rely on a scripting language for their engine to provide this functionality.
Consider your skills and figure out where you wish to draw the line for your game engine.

same.
Out of all the languages that claim to be "modern C" or "replace C", only Odin and C3 are up to the mark. Zig is not C but a C++ alternative. Also, the creator of C3 is not a fan of Zig lol.
But despite all that, personally, these two languages are something I wouldn't recommend to newbie programmers. Only those who have prior C experience or used C++ mildly for a while(or to the point of frustration) will truly be able to appreciate what these two languages are bringing to the table. C will still be the language I'd recommend to beginner programmers.

lol, lmao even

it's always the smaller projects that get shit done, with better pathfinding even.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VhgvOzYkp2w

after going through the code and thinking a bit harder, the whole problem of unit occlusion could be simplified when you consider the fact that sprite transparency is binary, not having to account for transparency means you can order sprites however you want, and you just need to apply a boolean operation for drawing.
there's also a nice insight, instead of redrawing the occluded units twice, you redraw the occluder object once at the very end.

there's also a neat trick you can do if you draw the terrain into one buffer and draw the units and buildings into a second buffer, dirty rectangles can speed things up by drawing only filled areas of the screen, allegro ancient days style.

Fun fact :
>https://code.google.com/archive/p/fxdis-d3d1x/
this is a great DX11 shader disassembler, and shader assembly is extremely readable, I'm going through AoE 2 definitive edition shaders to see how they reworked the occlusion system, very fun.

>>103662570
I swear. Its always the absolute retards that start out calling others retarded first. I'm talking about the design of the languages, something you wouldn't have attempted to refute if it was within your understanding.
Even Odin and C3 share those thing you listed but you forgot to mention what Zig has. Namely C++ like namespaces, package manager, try-catch for error handling and a few more?
If you take a look at zig's allocator, you'll notice that the allocator internal maintains a v-table. Neither Odin nor C3 support partial specialization but Zig does allow dynamic dispatch and so does C++ for doing OOP stuff.
https://github.com/ziglang/zig/blob/master/lib/std/mem/Allocator.zig#L17
I'd put C3 closer to C, Odin a bit farther and Zig at the far end, close to C++ in the spectrum. Apart from everything being structs, including structs, types and their namespaces themselves, Zig has untyped types but also has implicit widening, which C3 creator mentioned goes much farther than what C3 allows. He also mentioned a lot of broken semantics which I won't bother recalling and all this is an attempt to make a simpler version of C++.
Just hear it form the guy himself and suit yourself.

to expand what >>103663101anon said,
you can use structs to hold the data of and represent the type of your object.

typedef struct {
    int property1;
    float property2;
}my_object;

and you use functions as if they are methods by passing in the object pointer as a parameter

void update_property_1(my_object *object, int new_value){
    object->property1 = new_value;
}

// and you update the property by calling the function
update_property_1(&obj, 32);

Doesn't matter what you say.
Zig is meant to be a C++ alternative and it is the C++ alternative that the creator intended to create.

The only issues with C++ are that a), STL containers are often times slower than custome container classes and b), the compilation process for big project consisting of multiple libraries.

>>103663113
of course, it's a puzzle at this point, I need to figure out how rendering worked with 2mb vram and 32mb ram, when screen resolution was 800x600 and supported 256 colors, that's a lot that even one screen buffer would've be too much let alone 2 buffers.
what I know is that their sprite format had opcodes, and there was a skip commande to not waste space I guess.

I kinda got distracted playing definitive edition campaign with so many DLCs so I ended up looking through their files, most of their assets aren't even compressed of obfuscated, I guess that's why it's 35gb download.

I'll be downloading the og trial version for disassembly, even knowing the buffer sizes would be a huge progress at this point.

Andrew didn't want his version of C++ to be an OOP lang and wanted it to be data oriented so it doesn't have support for classes but as its still a C++, zig supports dynamic dispatch for storing methods inside structs which Odin and C3 don't and will never support.
It doesn't matter how you wish to bend the definitions, the creator wanted to create a simpler C++. Even if the end product doesn't resemble C++, it was always meant to be a C++ replacement, not C.

>I began to despise Japanese media when I realized almost everything is just work/school propaganda; you ever noticed how, nine times out of ten, a new Japanese property just so happens to centrally take place in school or at work? What happened to the Speed Racers and Triguns where it's just some fun fantasy shit going on
Most anime and mangas nowadays are isekai garbage, not high school fiction. This has been the case since the early-mid 2010s after Sword Art Online became a megahit. And the reason most older anime fans hate this is because it's wishfulfiment shit for anorexic jap nerds whose fantasy isn't becoming a strong hero but to be the skinny faggot MC of an isekai and be granted cheat Godlike powers without putting any hardwork. In essence modern japs and zoomers in general are even WEAKER than their predecessors and this reflects on the slop they demand and consume.
>Trigun
They made a new anime last year (Trigun Stampede, pic related) and nobody liked it because it was made for that audience.

Western media is fucked because american and european feminists and faggots have taken over entertainment since the early 2010s. The first affected were superhero comics and american comics in general, then they went for western video games and now not even japanese games are allowed to not be woke and censored or 'toned down' since Sony Computer Entertainment (now SIE) moved its HQ to California and began pushing censorship and woke aids around 2018.
It was the West's fault for drinking the "progressive" koolaid and allowing women to vote and destroy western culture from inside. Now everything is lame and gay.

8 bits per pixel? remember that AoE 2 never had Z fighting, it was pixel perfect.
>how many passes are you going to do?
we know for a fact that the dev used 2 passes, the second for outlines, redrawing units twice would be too much.
reminder that it ran on a 166 MHz cpu, tiny reminder that it actually ran on less than 20mb ram actually.
a bigger reminder is that you need to leave enough cpu and memory resources for the actual gameplay, networking, and simulations.
now tell me what's your least memory usage, the game didn't use floats btw, so it's all integers.

>rendering itself is done in software on the cpu so the API is irrelevant.
How you feed pixels to the graphics API is quite literally the only thing that's relevant

>>103664235
this isn't modern GPU programming, on GDI it's quite literally passing a pixel buffer to be drawn, and you manipulate the screen on a per pixel basis, the most complex drawing primitive was copying a rectangle into another rectangle.
same with linux X11 pixel draw method.

>>103664303
So you just pass a several mb large buffer full of the entire screens worth of pixels?

>>103664327
basically yes, that's how software rendering worked back in the day, why do you think doom works on literally everything under the sun?
there are tricks however, like the dirty rectangles technique
https://wiki.c2.com/?DirtyRectangles
you just reuse old pixels and update pixels that actually change, you don't do a full screen clear before drawing every frame.

>>103664393
Well just from Googling once I can see AoE2 uses DirectDraw which is not just regular software rendering, and in constrained memory environments you don't just keep large multi megabyte buffers of memory lying around, you write directly into video memory
Doom is also way older than AoE2, infact AoE2 was released a year after Half Life, a fully 3D game with skeletal animation and everything, so I think you're underestimating how powerful hardware was at the time

Question(s) for any OpenGL shader wizards around (might apply to other graphics APIs):

I want to make a shader that renders a cube/rectangular prism so that 4 parallel edges are perfectly rounded. I managed >pic related with a simple fragment shader, but obviously the edges that have been rounded have a hole in them. I want that hole to not be a hole, and instead render as if it was a solid curved surface, with whatever texture or color that the side/top faces would have wrapped around, with lighting working etc.
Is this possible to do with just a fragment shader? Or is this the kind of thing that you'd use geometry shaders for, to actually round the geometry of the cube before being rendered normally by the fragment shader?
Or is there some other way to get this effect other than fragment/geometry shaders? I'm pretty new to OpenGL so I'm not really sure what's even possible.
The point of this is that I want the edges to be perfectly round no matter how close they are viewed.

Something is very wrong with the normals in that image. This seems like more of a CPU or vertex shader task.

Something you could do is generate a bunch of cube points (subdivide the 6 faces or something) on the CPU. Then write a function that maps cube points to the new geometry on the CPU (maybe even as a compute shader?) Better yey, a rounded cube is just a prism with two rounded faces. So write a function that takes a single arbitrary face (provide vec2) then extends it in 3D. For the face you can use this

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Squircle

Or you could just generate the rounded cube points from the start.

He's saying "AoE2 managed to do all this on just the minimum system requirements"
If you have the minimum system requirements the game doesn't run the best, it starts to slow down when you have lots of action and you might need to run it at a lower resolution if it supports that

you are std::referene_wrapper but your map is a const.
Since reference_wrapper requires a T, you'll have to insert or emplace the value after creating the map.

mymap.insert({33, std::cref(points)});

// or you can use emplace()
mymap.emplace(33, std::cref(points));

// use get() to get the value from reference_wrapper
for (auto const &[k, v] : mymap){
      auto t = v.get();
      std::cout << t[2][0].y << std::endl;
}

Not sure what you mean. For the colors I just outputted the cube's xyz coordinates as the cube's rgb colors so the hole would be easier to see than if it was a single color/texture.
Anyway doing shit on the CPU or passing anything more than a simple 6 faced cube to the shader is exactly what I'm trying to avoid so your answer doesn't help me + you're a tripfag + filtered and disregarded.

Maybe you're just trolling and pretending to be that guy. But if not ... you're the one doing vertex manipulations in a fragment shader. Besides I said CPU or vertex shader (and even mentioned compute shader which you can do if CPU upload is a problem). You can write functions in a vertex shader bro. I hope you don't also try to do effects like shell texturing (the vertex duplication specifically) in a fragment shader as well.

>>103664902
Secondly, the colors on the rounded part are certainly incorrect. I said "normals" and "lighting" but I meant "colors". So that was my mistake.

This is how normals(pink lines) should look like for the what you are trying to create. They should be perpendicular to the surface.

I don't think he is using normals at all though. Just RGB. But he didn't map them properly so the prism looks all discontinuous and weird.

>>103664971
I will look into doing the rounding with the vertex shader. Though if you can do geometry manipulation like that in the vertex shader, then what's the point of geometry shaders?

I haven't done anything like that. Just made some fragments transparent.

That rounded edge isn't an edge. It's a hole. The colors look like that because it's showing the back face. My entire question was how I could do something similar to that, but without the hole. Maybe actually read my post properly before responding.

Thanks.

>>103665238
np.
If you are fine with doing everything in the fragment shader itself, that definitely is the answer you are looking for. Its just a matter of doing min() and max() for the rounded corners. Have fun.

>>103665102
>That rounded edge isn't an edge. It's a hole. The colors look like that because it's showing the back face.
My bad then I get it. You were mentioning a hole in the post before but I ended up forgetting about it in my second post..

>what's the point of geometry shaders?
Geometry shaders manipulate primitives. So think of the whole triangle together. But people don't like to use geometry shaders outside of intel hardware.
http://www.joshbarczak.com/blog/?p=667
Best not to fuck with them. My shell texturing image in the previous post uses geometry and vertex shaders but I'm on old intel hardware. Geometry shaders are going the way of the dinosaur, especially with mesh shader pipelines.

>My entire question was how I could do something similar to that, but without the hole.
You just fill in the hole with a spherical/ellipsoidal arc. You should be able to write a parametric equation that completes one of the faces, and it should be like the arc of a circle or ellipse. Then extend each point like you would a prism.

You can also do what I mentioned in my first post and make a prism out of a squircle, which I think is the easiest thing to do.

>>103665276

>>103664488
>>103665238
It's admirable you've made it this far but there's really no reason not to use proper geometry. You could certainly find an SDF for that shape and raymarch it, but you would have to generate your own UVs and it would render much slower than traditional geometry. The AAA solution would be to use tessellation. Personally, I would just save myself the trouble and render a mesh saved on disk.

Not a bad idea. Kind of obvious in retrospect. I'll probably experiment with trying that and the SDF thing that the other tripfriend suggested and see which one works best.
Unfiltered + regarded

>>103665372
I'm weighing up my options for now.
I figured it might run slower but I might be willing to pay that price if the curves are perfectly round.
I will definitely try more traditional geometry solutions like you suggested as well and see how they compare in terms of looks and performance.

Well, I'm literally the zoomie dude in >>103655995 so I may be biased when I say I want jacked/fit protagonists; hell, every character in my game is either jacked or fit. But on the point of nu-Japanese media, I completely forgot about the garbage that is "isekai". Now, I'm fine with escapist fantasy like the Alice books, the Narnia books, and especially The Neverending Story, but the characters in those books aren't usually treated as gods; now, in The Neverending Story, Bastian is treated like the messiah of Fantastica, but instead of everyone sucking his dick, people began to mistrust him, and Bastian's powers came at the cost of him forgetting his memories of the real world.
Great book, by the way, Michael Ende knew how to write a good fantasy.

I agree.

The problem with the overwhelming majority of isekai fiction in japanese media is that the MC doesn't really have to EARN his powers or pay a price for them. It's a downgrade from The Hero's Journey formula, and it's bad for those who consume it because it's not even motivating them to do anything to improve their situation IRL.
Most modern japanese fiction is self-congratulatory wishfulfilment slop that teaches nothing valuable to the reader or watcher, or at worst, it teaches them to wish for the universe to give them whatever they want without anything in exchange. It gives a bad message to the youth and pushes them away from pursuing anything that could actually better their lives.
Are you a loser? Get hit by a truck and be reborn as a Chad with magic powers.
Are you lonely? Here's a ready made harem of virginal 10/10s, it's okay if you're a weak skinny pushover with a mid face and nothing going for you.
Old japanese entertainment at least required the MC self-insert to make something of himself to get what he wants.

Holy shit, this may actually be the most awful /gedg/ ever.

Very true. In The Neverending Story, Bastian is described as fat, pasty-skinned, bow-legged, and just average in intellect (Even the bookkeeper Carl Conrad Coreander essentially calls him a pussy weakling), but in Fantastica he reinvents himself as a fit Oriental; however, as the story progresses, Bastian realizes in the end that Atreyu, the one who brought Bastian to Fantastica to save the land from the Nothing before rallying the Fantasticans loyal to the Childlike Empress to stop Bastian from taking over the land in her absence, would much rather accept the real, if outwardly unappealing Bastian than the fake and power-hungry version and, once Bastian returns to his world, he works to better himself and be more like the heroic characters he met.
Now that is how a story should work: the character grows as he faces challenges and hardships. It's too bad the Japanese can't make KINO like that.

>>103666323
No masked fading effect yet? I remember trying to bruteforce it with SDL2 render textures and (the limited) blending functions, I managed to do it but I had to do something as retarded as blitting the same mask multiple times for the fade out effect.

My fondest memory of Higurashi/Umineko was the cool effect where characters turn into flying circles, the effect is deterministic, with each circle containing a specific part of the sprite, and the effect can be played backwards.

If I had to make a VN engine today I'd use Love2D, I already had a working dialogue system in less than a day, and having shaders makes any effect possible, with the side effect of lua being better than python/renpy for actual gameplay.

I agree with basically everything you said ITT, but still, all the western works you're citing as counterexamples are old. And the negative Japanese trends like isekai are fairly recent too. I'm not convinced that it's something specifically about Japan and not just the modern world going to shit in both the East and the West.
If you want to give another chance to some Jap slop, try Dungeon Meshi (the manga). It has none of the gay isekai shit and it's definitely a worthier successor to the Western fantasy canon than anything that came out in the West in the last 10 years, in my opinion.

>>103667661
Oh, I see what you're talking about now. I'm guessing you would need to build an algorithm to change the alpha of individual pixels manually. I've actually never done per-pixel manipulation in SDL so I don't know how to do that but it doesn't seem awfully complicated. The second effect could be achieved by clipping and scaling but I'm not sure how to get the circular shape.

>isekai fiction
There's your problem. The isekai genre is, to the endless frustration of fantasy fans, the lowest, most saccarine pulp that was ever squeezed out of the digital printing presses. It is by and for people that only know other pop entertainment and have so for a whole generation now, leading to utter creative bancruptcy and I what I can only describe as intellectual, artistic, and too often literal incest. It openly embraces all the worst aspects of a culture normal Japanese already see as weirdo loners. Dear Lord is it frustrating to talk to isekai fans on /a/.
But it is about as representative of broader Japanese culture as TLC is of American ones. Even in the realm of Anime you have the occasional aspirational show. For example, the government broadcast channel regularly helps producing shows promiting stem topics or generally attempting to inspire curious minds. This season we've got Orb, a (very vaguely) historical drama about the power of ideas and having hope for the world in spite of horrible reality. Last season has Yatagarasu, a political drama turned mystery turned horror turned fantasy adventure about a young noble learning to forego his personal comfort and pledge himself to a greater cause. However, these things are about as popular as arthouse cinema over here.

My mistake, he did say a prism. Still, it doesn't call for distance fields, but just analytic ray intersection functions like on the linked page. The naive way would be a union of four cylinders (

cylIntersect

) and two boxes in a cross shape (

boxIntersection

) on the same linked page:
https://iquilezles.org/articles/intersectors/

It can be done more efficiently. You could trace the same shape in 2D and handle the extrusion separately (it's just capped by two planes). DESU I couldn't just hack the already-optimized

roundedboxIntersect

to do what that poster wants, but that should be possible too. Even if he wanted antialiasing from the near approach from distance field tracing, the shape he wants is simple enough to write analytic near approach for.
