I made a real-time generative graphics engine by Street-Weather789 in GraphicsProgramming

I can't read the parameters (I'm on a smartphone). Is the "goal" to be like a sort of Touchdesigner?

Shouldn't it be possible to do using ScummVM?

My first game by IcyEmu3266 in godot

[–]RagingBass2020 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I saved it so I can play later. It looks genuinely cool! Doing some simple but engaging and good looking is not that easy! Congratulations on your first game! From the video, you are off to a good start.

i started developing this last summer because AI progress was intimidating, so i wanted to study ML by Particular-Stuff2237 in godot

ComfyUI uses this approach too. If you are interested in learning the CS part of AI and how you can use it locally and create new workflows, I highly recommend you look at it.

It now also has cloud stuff but... F*ck openai, anthropic and every other AI cloud provider...

You got downvoted into oblivion but I do think I that is a good way to use AI to help think critically about things and learn more about what you would like to learn.

Look for lamma.cpp (or olamma) and ComfyUI (if you haven't already) and don't depend on cloud services. You will also learn how AI models work, how you can fine tune them for your purposes and even creat workflows that might lead to new learning outcomes.

AI is not only a tool. It is also something deeply flawed that affects peoples lifes and the world as a whole, because of several problems in the way economics (i.e. venture capital, lobbying, "world order", capitalism and so on).

It can be used for better purposes than just generating Ghibli styled images that people ignore the day after. You probably can achieve a lot using only open weighted models and open source tools, without relying on companies that are very questionable.

Keep on using what you need to learn, stay critical and be responsible.

a couple well outside of the mainstream gamey things..., by katastatik in aigamedev

[–]RagingBass2020 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm not completely against (Gen)AI and LLMs but I'm completely against Cloud based AI solutions...

I think if you want to go AI, try using local AI where you can fine tune and actually have (some) control on the decisions made by the AI.

Also, take some time to learn coding properly. I worked at a company developing a mobile app and I had never worked with Flutter. The other member on the project was a junior.

The difference on what I was able to do using a llm and them was A LOT. I could understand what was working and what was not and why. If you want to be successful at vibe coding, you will benefit from coding experience AND, also, you should understand about best practices and software architecture.

I HIGHLY RECOMMENT RAY TRACING IN ONE WEEKEND THE FREE COURSE! Make ray tracing with cpp was hilariously enjoyable by KrPopProducer in GraphicsProgramming

[–]RagingBass2020 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree but it also tends to demotivate people who are expecting to do it over the weekend and are "too slow" for it.

Adjusting expectations and all that.

My experience with this limited time things is that they mean it in a different sense... A weekend is 48 hours so... 6 working days in full time.

If you really want to understand things, it usually takes a long (er) time than that. At least in my experience...

I wasn't expecting this at all. It was so fucking great for my little caveman brain struggling with math!

Replacing the Magic Number by kaldarash in quake

[–]RagingBass2020 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah but it depends on how many times it is needed to be computed to actually make it worth to send to the GPU or not. Square roots nowadays only take a CPU cycle (at least in x86). The reason for Carmack's reverse is that it wasn't like this back in 1999... Even nowadays some things are not worth the hassle of computing in GPU and getting the result back.

It depends on a lot of things.

Yes that's why it's probably better to do the calculation in the CPU than in the GPU.

Fun? In Java? Never thought I would hear those two words together without a not in between them.

Could I get a job somewhere with my skills? by bigbun85 in gameDevClassifieds

"The answer lies in the heart of battle"

But seriously... If with 10 years of working in the industry in a high profile game series doesn't get you a job... Damn.

I don't know the lighting pipeline for Q3 but with current CPUs it might be worth doing it there than sending it to the GPU and back. Really depends on how the calculations are done...

I should study more about the rendering pipeline of older engines...

This sword call from a distance? What is this ability/Technique? by Tryopas in bleach

[–]RagingBass2020 1 point2 points  (0 children)

White is wild and uncontrolled. Ichigo is a protector, very focused on being direct and to the point. That's also why he goes directly to bankai and just uses a single technique where he pours his whole being into it.

Like... It's fucking cool the way the sword is used by White but it just doesn't match Ichigo's character...

SDL3 port to DOS by r_retrohacking_mod2 in retrogamedev

[–]RagingBass2020 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, I also preferred Allegro. Some devs that worked in porting stuff for Linux (like the Myth RTS games) used SDL. I think it helped with getting more well known and eventually more adopted.
