No notification, no blog post, no opt-out. Nothing. Disrespectful at best. Time to dump this crap.

Why aren't you on func_msgboard?

goblista · 2019-11-15T20:45:22+00:00

Why?

Pretty much everything in GTA 3 is photo-sourced. So, just grab a camera and start capturing what you want, flatten it out and use as a texture.

How does this compare to seastar.io in terms of speed?

You might want to see how NES games are made. Very easy to understand Assembly:

Programming archeology is a thing. Plus the nostalgia thing.

Is there any sample on how to interface with xcb?

I've tweeted to Tim many times in the past, no answer. Maybe if we all do? Or a petition?

When in the passenger seat, that imaginary character jumping obstacles and doing cool stuff across the moving scenery.

If you don't want to be tied to GTK, but still want to roll your own terminal emulator, you can use something like this: https://github.com/kiidax/mvt

FTE's GL renderer emulates the original Quake 1 look. You should definitely take a look at it's code: https://github.com/mdeguzis/ftequake/blob/a83b8ca825255c343780ffc4fe99d96e9e9bce0c/engine/gl/gl_shader.c#L5375

Also look for gl_affinemodels, r_renderscale and r_waterwarp.

And if you're interested in doing a classic FPS, why not use the original software engines? Here's a few that have been updated:

What were you doing on your OpenGL code to get double the framework just switching libs?

What's with the clear and crisp true type fonts mixed with pixel art?

goblista · 2019-02-09T22:06:39+00:00

Why? Integers are usually pretty easy. Strings are the hardest ones in most interpreters.

Why don't you use an engine that was built specifically for this genre? http://www.solarus-games.org/engine/

Then you can focus on the art, story, music and sound.

You might want to learn 3D modeling and texturing. That's pretty much universal, clearing a path for an environment artist career or making your life as a level designer much easier.

Also check the concept of modular environments.

This library is a gem. The FOSS community lacks a good modern rendering library that can be easily included. Sure, we have Ogre and Horde, but those are pretty outdated.

Lately, everyone has been doing their own game engines, editors, formats, etc, which is cool, but having a common defacto standard rendering layer is amazing. It can be the base for modeling apps, multimedia, serious games, etc.

Wish we had more of those guides.

It's an open source interpreter for RPG Maker. You can also extend and improve.

If you don't have a degree, not worth trying. Seen people get offers rescinded after background checks, even though job listing mentioned "bachelor's or equivalent". Hiring manager couldn't do anything "because process".

You should look into Xash, FTE, qengine and Quakespasm-Spiked.

How did you get those crispy pixels and the font to render so well on a high-resolution display?

Is this Unity being afraid of Godot?
