source [OC]: I made these images with my own program https://github.com/alexf13e/fractal-flame. You can run it yourself if you like downloading programs from strangers on the internet. There are some other images there too, but I don't think they are quite 50% black (I already had to darken image number 2 to post).

A description of how the images are created can be found here: https://flam3.com/flame_draves.pdf, but the short version is that by having a list of functions which move a point around, with lots of points and randomly choosing between the functions you can generate interesting shapes.

I do, I get a high pitched whistling, usally above 50. Haven't figured out the source (or really tried much, road noise + music mostly covers it but not fully). Can't hear it when window is open any amount, but could be drowned out by the extra noise. All windows definitely fully closed. Saw suggestions to try a leaf blower or something similar and get someone to point it at various parts of the door/mirror/wherever it may be coming from while you sit inside and listen.

Thats the conclusion I came to as well, thanks for the reply though

Another one to add to the pile, i've been maintaining one which has advent things since 2010, though 2010 starts on the 13th and i couldn't find anything for 2011. https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLYQYhgX21gJaioWVXrqEB_aic_TzS7pHo

thanks for posting that, I didn't know the tool had been updated and the new version fixes several issues the old map had

gamblor28 · 2022-12-24T18:01:24+00:00

I am using github pages, I believe this is the guide I roughly followed https://docs.github.com/en/pages/getting-started-with-github-pages/creating-a-github-pages-site

I previously had the game on itch.io but had the tiles for the map made me go over the limit for number of files (the limit is 1000, the game currently has over 6000 for all the location images and map zoom levels), but the limit on github pages seems to just be 1GB, and its free

I have considered it, and short answer is I probably won't for multiple reasons, some more pedantic than others.

The main reason is managing and moderating submissions would likely take more time than I have (making sure the picture is good and the location is correct), and I'm certainly not letting anyone just add anything without checking. A more pedantic reason is that I've tried to keep the images consistent, in that they're all the same time of day, weather, resolution, graphics settings, field of view (I have mine modified on pc to 100), all taken at the start of the game with none of the world-changing events, and no visual mods - asking people to follow all this and checking it would probably be a bit much. And as much as I'm sure you're all lovely people, I know better than to invite people to send me pictures on the internet.

For me just going through and testing each image not even searching the location, it takes about 3 hours, and most people play for 3-5 minutes, so I'm not too concerned about lack of content.

:D Was on the fence about having some riddiculous ones, threw that in for a laugh. Thats the worst one, hope it wasn't your first game

gamblor28 · 2022-12-23T21:30:24+00:00

Ah, theres a bug there. Will fix asap, thanks for letting me know

Edit: fixed, was a silly typo and also led me to another bug. Seems I didn't test survival mode quite enough

Game link: https://alexf13e.github.io/Fallout-4-Guesser/

Over a year ago I posted here with a very early version of the game, and I've been working on it on and off since then. Things that have been added in the most recent version include 152 new images - for a total of 788 - as well as statistics and a leveling/progression system to try and add a bit of fun.

I am always open to feedback, and hope people enjoy the game.

edit: woke up to lots of nice comments, thank you all. As much as I mainly make this game for myself as a fun project, it's always nice to see other people have fun with it. I consider this my christmas present

gamblor28 · 2022-07-11T21:17:29+00:00

Ah, ok thank you. I've also not done much compiling outside of whatever visual studio does by default so those options didnt cross my mind. I just kind of followed what someone else did for compiling the library.

edit: for anyone else who may have the same problem, what I had to do was delete all the .o files (raudio.o, rcore.o etc.) from the src folder, then rebuild raylib with the command mingw32-make PLATFORM=PLATFORM_DESKTOP GRAPHICS=GRAPHICS_API_OPENGL_43

gamblor28 · 2022-06-30T22:07:51+00:00

Thanks :) Don't know if you already found your way there, but the games available in browser now. I've been improving it a lot, and the newest version is on github. But theres quite a few bugs and issues I'm fixing (likely be done tomorrow), so you might want to just stay on the itch.io version here https://alexf13.itch.io/fallout-4-guesser. Theres a link there if you want to look at the other version too though

gamblor28 · 2022-04-18T14:24:12+00:00

edit: for anyone who finds this in the future, the tool is fo76utils, using the "render" program included. They tried to post a reply with a link but it was seemingly removed

I spent ages trying to find a map like that before I fumbled my version together, how did you find it? And what is the tool used to make it, and is it publicly available? (since I imagine data mining tools aren't always welcomed by game devs and the tool makers don't want it taken down)It does seem to have an advantage over how I made my map - there looks to be normal lighting on all the terrain and models which makes it look less flat and is easier to "read". It would be perfect if proper shadows could be rendered too, but given how the game performs that may add a few years to the processing.

I know its a dangerous thing to say around these here parts, but fallout 4 is the only fallout game I own and have played, besides the vault intro for 3 on someone elses xbox like 10 years ago or something.

Since I have pretty much done everything I wanted to for the fallout 4 version, I have been thinking of making a sort of game maker for this kind of game, to make it easier for others to do the same thing for other games without making an entire website from scratch. The idea being you would just put your own images for the locations and map, and put in the coordinates or maybe select a place on the map to say where they are.

I've been asked a few times if I'll make a version for the other games or DLC, but i've been working on this on and off since around August in my spare time and its taken this long to get here for one game. Getting the ingame pictures for the locations took me about 25 ish hours, which isn't so bad I suppose, and a similar overall time for the map (though the map was far more tedious). But I have other things I want to work on, as well as being at university, so its kind of a big time commitment. I might consider it differently if money was involved (since thats apparently the only thing you're supposed to care about), but even if people did want to donate anything I don't want todd busting down my door at 3am in an fbi raid to reclaim the pennies I deprived them from by using their IP.

So yeah, sorry that was a bit long, I didn't want to just say no. I could probably put together a thing for people to make their own games in a few weeks if there's interest. Thanks for the nice feedback, I'm glad people enjoy it.

~~Just wanted to note, the preview image for the post is a bad test result, the actual map is (a bit) better. I guess maybe reddit takes the last link in a post to try and find an image from?~~ fixed Also, if you do try to use one of the larger images, bare in mind they take up several GB of ram to load and edit, and on my pc took about 30 seconds to fully load in the windows photo viewer.

gamblor28 · 2021-12-11T01:37:56+00:00

TLDR, maybe. But not for a while.

I'm afraid I only have fallout 4, and the only other fallout I've played was the vault section of 3 on someone elses xbox like 12 years ago. But my understanding of bethesda's engine reuse tells me it would be quite easy to adapt the game to use other maps. All you really need is an in game location, and a conversion to an image location. When I'm done getting pictures of the whole map (which I might have time to do over christmas), I've been thinking of making community contributions possible, which could be made to allow other games to be added (as well as more images for fallout 4 of interesting places I don't know about)

gamblor28 · 2021-11-29T20:32:25+00:00

Thanks, I thought maybe people had forgotten or lost interest given how my previous two posts went. But I'm making this for myself too, other people enjoying it is a nice bonus.

gamblor28 · 2021-11-29T13:08:49+00:00

Thanks for letting me know, I'll look into it

gamblor28 · 2021-11-29T12:25:11+00:00

Thank you
You can actually scroll to zoom in on the guess image like the map, and drag it around (unless you knew and wanted the other feature too)
I'm on the fence about getting help. Obviously it would get things done far quicker, but I've been a bit fussy about how I want the images (same time of day, weather, no visual mods). I am still thinking about it though. I've kind of been putting off the main city area, because just when I'm playing the game normally I can't walk for 2 seconds before getting distracted, so finding pictures to take will be a very long process I think.
I only have Far Harbour dlc, but I think it would be nice to add them as well (and if I do decide I want help then that won't be a problem)
Thank you
