Programming General

Sure, I'm trying to re-write OrgView's org-loading code, so I can load external orgs.

That's really cool! How's it coming along?

 

I made a little algorithm that generates interesting-looking images.

How the generation looks like.



I wasn't really planning on making it do that, but it just.. happened. It was supposed to be a multiplayer game, but I got sidetracked.

//update loop, among other things
for(int x = 0; x < pixmap.getWidth(); x++){
    for(int y = 0; y < pixmap.getHeight(); y++){					
       int randx = (int)((Math.cos(y*scale2 + Math.log(y) * scale3))*scale);
       int randy = (int)((Math.cos(x*scale2 + Math.log(x) * scale3))*scale);
       //move pixel at x to x + randx; same thing with y
    }
}

Download, if you want to try it out.
Controls: Space - update the image, Shift - reload image, Q - increase scale, E- decrease scale. After you get to 10 scale or so, the images start to look very strange, so I don't recommend going there. Press R to export the image. It will export them to (home folder)/Documents/Mirage.

To get clean images, reload the image after changing the scale, then update it.

Currently it only manages to load the first few "notes", I think I got some offsets wrong.

 

I can make a fake error... Is that good enough?

That's super cool; however, it just makes a black screen that flashes and goes away on my Win8 64bit. You would probably be interested in the Processing language. It it based on Java, so it should be familiar. It is all about art and such. "Hello World" would be drawing a circle basically.

What kind of game was it going to be originally?

I didn't have a concrete idea in mind; I just wanted to mess around with multiplayer mechanics.

As for the error, apparently, the assets were not loaded properly. I'll try to fix it.

I'll take a look at Processing.

Just made in a few hours an open-source debugging console engine in GML!

Question: Do you pay for GameMaker, and if not, what are the limitations?

 

Question: Do you pay for GameMaker, and if not, what are the limitations?

I payed for my version back when resource restrictions were still a thing. Nowadays the free version of GM:S now has the GameMaker splash screen and still a lack of some features which are really only useful for large game studios.

GM:S can do quite a bit of stuff, further enchanced by external DLLs. You can also check the manual on what can be done:

I forgot about this thread ^_^'


As I did mention in a status update, I've been learning of HTML, CSS, PHP, MySQL, jQuery, XML, and JSON. I've also been looking a bit at AJAX, AngularJS and Processing.js; and planning on doing some Python and Ruby too. It does take a lot to do a lot of things on web design =o

Amusingly, the acronym "PHP" stands for "PHP Hypertext Preprocessor", and that "PHP" in the acronym also stands for "PHP Hypertext Preprocessor", and so on. o.o


I'm still trying to do this fancy newfangled thing with CSS and jQuery, which if anyone remembers the old Humble Bundle Store is the game blocks that would expand into descriptions, videos, images, etc. For the most part it's working almost flawlessly, just gotta figure out how to order them automatically and fix a little bug.

Besides that, I've also made this cool Twitch stream status thingy using PHP, JSON and the GD library, which you can see in my signature. It'll automatically update into saying "online" when I'm streaming and stuff, and back into "offline" when I'm not. I'm planning on upgrading it into something a bit more complex, such as displaying what I'm streaming, views, etc. This will be fun! ^o^


I've also been thinking a bit of accepting requests for such PHP thingamajigs, because why not; but first I've got to learn some more.

It's called a recursive acronym - one of the letters of the acronym stands for the acronym itself.
Like GNU = GNU Not UNIX
and WINE = WINE Is Not an Emulator

Also, nice job on all the web dev you're doing!

Why. Just why.

And thanks!

 

My favorite is XNA is Not an Acronym

 

or PNG's Not Gif

cant think of any others off the top of my head tho

 

Both of those are incorrect.
XNA = XNA's Not Acronymed
PNG = Portable Network Graphics (officially)

Here are a couple more:
GNU's Not Unix!
LAME Ain't an MP3 Encoder

In other news, I managed to write code that loads an Org into OrgView without any issues.

 

oh yeah sure, "Officially" it's Portable Network Graphics, but I think me and my hard-G gif's know better

There's already an animated version of PNG, called APNG; so even then it wouldn't be correct.

[Yay for hard G!]

More like it used to mean "Personal Home Page" and then they saw all those cool rad recursive acronyms and went like yo we want in on that hype too and made it a recursive backronym instead of trying to improve their language

 

and apparently RPM (RPM Package Manager)
Although it was Red Hat Package Manager, so it doesn't qualify as a recursive acronym in the same sense as the others

I'm currently programming a chat client where you can host your own servers
not really anything special, but I did it because why not

Which reminds me, when I sent you the networking example server/client, there had been a problem with the port-forwarding since my laptop had changed its port by a bit. The ports were only port-forwarded to specific ip addresses.
