Unproductive
Blog
13th October 2016
DevelopmentsAfter 3 days of fairly productive behaviour, it seems only natural that my head decided not to bother, yesterday! -=-=- I did at least manage to post a nice "2D Balls" thing over to SoCoder. Basically a vague amount of code that takes a 2D ball texture, then creates a batch of rolling-ball sprites, using nothing but simple 2D techniques. It's a shame that you have to render these things, nowadays. "In the olden days" you could use stencil areas, and draw behind/under areas to create nice movement within sprites. This resulted in you needing much less stuff stored in memory. Nowadays.. Nah.. Doesn't work. Instead you need to pre-render all your balls, and hold masses of sprites in memory, just to get a decent set of balls onscreen. It's technically much easier, now, to render a full 3D scene with properly textured balls, full lighting and shadows, and much more, than it is to do it in 2D. What can I say.. I'm a sucker for challenges!! Daily Doodle : Hello Mrs FishyPlatdude caught himself a new pet goldfish. I wonder what he'll call her? Misc..I bought Rock Band 4 last week, but I've barely played it enough. Instead I just sit here, coding. Finding the play time is tough. -=-=- If you'd like to stuff my mailbag, (Please do!!) you can do so right here, at https://bit.ly/AGAW_Mail . Send comments, questions, game ideas, thoughts and more, and they'll usually show up on my daily blog, the very next day. Views 13, Upvotes 4
