@lorenschmidt I used a cube map in the past, works ok and is comparable with ray tracing still.

how the planets map a rectangle to a sphere. there are no polygons in this game. when we're on the surface of a planet, it uses a heightmap raycaster (aka floorcaster). when we see a distant planet, it is rendered as a sphere. how are the two reconciled?

I think I'll do some web dev today. *spends the next 5 hours updating packages and fixing conflicts* That was fun, time for bed.

@YumeHindo @PublicMeSilly @elonmusk @lexfridman If you can see him, he's not solo walking is he.

@PublicMeSilly @elonmusk @lexfridman He mocked him for wearing a mask wherever he was even if he was al alone in the outdoors with not a single person besides him. Don't twist reality dude. He did not mock others for just wearing Masks. If i see a person solo walking in a forest with a mask i will mock him to...

I hope the President gets well soon.

What?

@ENDESGA That sounds like some beautiful progress for a first session. I'm so glad it felt good for you

One thing he said was basically “you’re more than the game you’re making, your life goes beyond it”, and bro I almost felt like crying I don’t know why. All this stress and pressure makes me feel like NYKRA is all I have, but now I’m starting to realise it’s not just that

Is there a marathon equivalent to a software sprint? That's where I am at

Lua is my love language

Any embedded guys know of a good wifi ic with an i2c interface?

@ENDESGA As a fan from the early days, your dedication has been hugely inspiring and equally impressive. You deserve whatever break you want imo man

Doesn't mean anything is gonna happen to NYKRA, but my god I'm at the end of my tether and I barely have much energy left for it. So I'm doing whatever my brain wants, and rebuilding myself. 2020 turned out to be a clusterfuck, so you'll have to forgive me...

I had someone ask why I'm spending so much time on EDGITOR, and I have two reasons: - I've always wanted to learn C++, and I'm actually having fun and it's making me happy. - I'm extremely and overwhelmingly burnt out from NYKRA and I don't want to even open the project.

i started working on some foliage. i'm hoping to end up with something which feels flat, honestly gridded, but soft and organic feeling.

Don't forget to eat food

The S&P 500 just went positive for 2020 ytd, remember that when someone tries to tell you the stock market is a good economic indicator for the middle class

@polygone_ Faceblock obviously

Identity protection camera app (someone please help me pick a cool name!) almost done, here’s a much better mosaic filter and look at the UI. Hoping to get this in journalists/protestors hands ASAP

needs more edge lighting though

cloudy sunsets are now kind of working

@lorenschmidt I'm probably late on this but, I always do the top left and bottom right corners that way it's just two position variables and the code is pretty. For extra elegance I've made the big entity just two small entities for each corner and wrap it in special render function

game related question for anyone who has done integer based player movement. how do you set up your entity positions and rectangles? do you use center, width, height? a rectangle?

The noise function doesn't have very ideal performance. thinking about switching to a Monte Carlo method, but there goes the possibility of this being a real time thing. Maybe it's just another option

starting to look like cloud-ish things
