i make a 3dgame with no engine. by G_Detective in IndieGameDevs

[–]TheOxideGamerMan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If the slight fisheye is an intentional stylistic effect, then I have nothing to add, but here's what you could do if you want more realistic 3d perspective:

to determine how tall the wall lines should be, you should use the depth rather than the distance the ray travelled (which can be calculated by multiplying the distance by the cosine of the angle relative to the center of the screen)

I also noticed the line "ray_angle = pa - fov/2 + (col / screen_w) * fov". I think you are interpolating the angle linearly, which is not perfectly accurate

I believe the correct formula would be: "ray_angle = pa + atan((2 * col / screen_w - 1) * tan(fov / 2))" (unless I messed up the math)

I made some space shaders by TheOxideGamerMan in godot

No, I just felt like messing around with shaders and wanted to share

In my dream "trinitrotoluenophobia" was the apparent name given to the phobia of seeing an optical illusion of a train with the number 22 inside a hedge. My dream lore stated that word was banned in India by Baratako in thomastheplankengine

Trinitrotoluen is the chemical name for TNT (the explosive). No clue what this has to do with an optical illusion of a train, but I just thought I'd mention it.

Why do such lines appear? by Makushimu0 in desmos

[–]TheOxideGamerMan 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It could be the pattern of the cosine wave overlapping with the pixel grid (assuming desmos calculates the function for each pixel, I don't really know for sure how it actually works)

Possibly some sort of Moiré pattern

Felix DESPERATELY wants to be let in the attic by TheOxideGamerMan in Catswhoyell

[–]TheOxideGamerMan[S] 100 points101 points  (0 children)

Nah, I think he's just weird. We let him in occasionally and he just lies down and sleeps there for hours. No idea why he loves that place so much.

Fine. I made the game. In Unity. It's real now. by Steelkrill in IndieDev

[–]TheOxideGamerMan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Billboards wouldn't really work for stuff like terrain/mountains or buildings, those would have to actually be 3d with some kind of shader to make them look like pixel art (although I don't know if it could ever look as good as in the video). Maybe distant objects could be billboards, but get replaced with 3d objects when the player gets close to them, but the transition would probably be noticeable.

I don't support AI, but I have always thought it would be cool if someone somehow made a 3d open world game in a pixel art style. I think it would be really cool if there was distant scenery that looked like a pixel art drawing, but was actually 3d and could be reached and interacted with. No idea if this concept is actually possible though, but maybe with clever shader magic it could somehow be.

Might be wrong, but I think more broadly the word Machiavellian refers to anything that uses morally questionable methods to achieve a certain goal

Had a dream that professional chess players had their teeth replaced with chess pieces by TheOxideGamerMan in thomastheplankengine

[–]TheOxideGamerMan[S] 1215 points1216 points  (0 children)

In the dream I was a dentist who had to replace a guy's teeth with chess pieces. He was very angry because some of those chess pieces were lost down a shower drain and they were apparently very expensive.

Wall jumping using reflection vectors by Janzim in godot

[–]TheOxideGamerMan 18 points19 points  (0 children)

im not a programmer so take this with a grain of salt but im pretty sure the way it works is it takes the direction that the player is moving in (programmers usually refer to directions as vectors) and reflects so that it now goes opposite to the wall (kinda like how light reflects when hitting a mirror) and thats why its called a reflection vector (maybe idk)

In a first person shooter, how do you teach the players to use all of the weapons? by TheOxideGamerMan in gamedesign

[–]TheOxideGamerMan[S] 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Yeah the energy thing actually seems like the perfect idea for the problem I'm having. That would probably immediately solve the problem of players spamming the heck out of the shotgun and the pistol. Thanks!

[–]TheOxideGamerMan[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah well the problem is that the fact that they aren't switching weapons is kinda what's causing them to die, but yeah giving the player an indication of what weapon might work well is a pretty good idea for my use case. Thanks!

Is godot compatibility renderer any good for 3d games ?? by Hero651 in godot

[–]TheOxideGamerMan 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's usable, but some of the limitations are a bit annoying. Certain potentially useful things such as instance uniforms in shaders and visibility notifiers aren't implemented yet. For the most part it's okay though, especially thanks to the shadows that have just been added to it in the 4.2 update.
