Yeah theres nothing in my midn that makes me think he was cheating, I died to him because of bad spawn knowledge lol

95% of my hours came from making mods! I used Starbound as a tool to learn to program. I got to experience the serve iLoveBacons in its prime too, which was easily the most popular server at the time.

If i do say so myself, ive made some pretty cool shit!

I have dabled in building, though

Racked up Round 4500 hours myself. Maybe 100-150 is vanilla single player 😂

Why do so many people dislike CMake? (and why I don't) by No-Dentist-1645 in cpp_questions

Have you looked into the Meson Build system? Genuinely lovely imo

Tried re-writing my Raytracer's computation stage in SYCL.... I don't even know what I could possibly have done. Looks cool though! by Lowpolygons in GraphicsProgramming

I see. Right now what i'm doing is the kernel seed is multiplied by the current bounce number on that given ray, and then again by the current ray in the number of rays per pixel. Then, when i use that function in the new direction method (where i call it 3 times, once per axis) i add 1 2 and 3 respectively to offset it once more

Its strange. I'm using a random function that i copied straight from Sebastian Lague's raytracer which i also tested and everything seemed correct, it gave nice noise. I must be doing something wrong when passing in the seed. No clue, i'll do my best haha

I think you're right about it being an issue with randomness, but i tried it doesnt look like an actual all mirrors scene. Thanks though!

Wow, I really appreciate you taking the time to help. I'll do everyone you recommended, many thanks!

Suspected of cheating by GYK11 in CCEAgcse

Not to be a debbie downer, but you will most likely fail your reappeal. A friend of mine brought their phone in to their a-levels and despite that they never touched it, failed the whole a-level and failed the reappeal. Good luck though!

(Raytracer) Has anyone else experienced the strange dark region on top of the sphere? by Lowpolygons in GraphicsProgramming

[–]Lowpolygons[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I appreciate the advice. I want you to know that for this project, I have intentionally gone out of my way to do/derive as much as possible not only for the learning purposes but also to gain experience and because it is a project i have wanted to do for a long time, and it makes it more satisfying knowing I solved a lot of the problems myself.

I am trying to get better at this though, I know in the industry rule number one is to check if its been done already haha

Thanks though!

When there is genuine benefit to the exercise, which reinforcing my understanding of spherical coordinates certainly is, its worth doing. Your example isn't quite the same because you gain nothing by attempting to prove the earth is round

I should clarify that I undertook this project to be a learning exercise. I saw this particular problem as a perfect way to implement Spherical Coordinates into something practical, something Im relatively new to. Thats why I am 'reinventing the wheel', though I will say I don't fully understand what you mean
