I've started using actual logging in some of my modules but print is convenient. Especially when you debug by printing and quitting the program LOL

Screen capture is done with mss, then I resize with opencv and write to an ffmpeg process via a pipe! I'll talk through how it works on a stream sometime soon. The way I implemented delay between frames is probably very rough but it works.

@@davidroome137 kinda remember me writing all frames first in ramdisk then generating txt with delay written to it, then feeding that text file to ffmpeg... sounds like pipe is better option than this mess haha

Triangle meshes but I filter the edges. Only edges of facets of coplanar faces, then only edges where the facet is facing the camera. And this is entirely software rendered (numpy / cairo / PIL / opencv)

@jupiterbjy I do something similar for hardpoints with empties. Most of the other components have "hardcoded" positions because they don't really move. At some point in the future I'll introduce capability into the game to swap components other than weapons and we'll see this system still works, LOL

@@davidroome137 ngl would enjoy seeing wrong module attached in right places hehe

Thanks so much!

Shrouds that enclose the drives is definitely a thing in my setting...I need to try to model that!

all the more reason to make ships beautiful. Ships don't have to be something a Transformers cat vomited up either.

Remember, he's making a warship, not a civilian ship. Streamlined design increase chance to ricochet incoming projectiles due to it being sloped armor, and reduce exposure area when oriented properly. Think of why we orient the heatsink in-line with ship direction. That's because radiator is the weakest part yet the most important part, thus the best chance of it's survival is by evading a shot, which is done via minimizing exposure area and avoiding being hit. Such designs are super effective in highly realistic game like Children of a dead earth, where you can point dart-shaped ship to expose minimum surface area in incoming cloud of projectiles' POV and avoid most shots or deflect few that still hits. And FYI, yes THERE IS DRAG IN SPACE, altho not atmospheric nor meaningful for ship of this size. You know how NASA do altitude control(pitch, yaw, roll) with only one or two working gyros? Sun's Photon pressure! Best example is Kepler Space Telescope where it lost 2 out of 4 gyros. NASA stabilized uncontrollable axis by sun's photon pressure, directing satellite's (relatively) streamlined, pointy part to sun's direction - making entire satellite acting as Anemoscope. This K2 mission successfully prevented satellite having some peaceful nap but to work even more out there with limping gyros!

Thanks for the feedback! I've heard this from a couple of people, and I have some ideas!

A lot of names of things in my fictional setting are either direct or indirect references to real things in my own life. In the case of the manufacturers, I sat down one weekend and came up with several. I think "Turner Lewis" is a North American company a variation of Lockheed Martin. RI (Rousseau International) are the big bad guys in my setting and they are French. So IIRC I wanted a British company as well and came up with "Winterbourne Technologies". I seem to remember finding "Winterbourne" from a list of British names for geographical features. Hope that helps!

@@davidroome137 aye thanks, that helps me a ton!

Found it on Ebay for about $12 including shipping. Usually goes for $15-20.

I've enjoyed collecting POTF2 / Shadows of the Empire stuff. The fact that it isn't very expensive is part of the fun!

@@davidroome137 For sure I got some new ones for just a few dollars. Ive seen this speeder go for as low as 15!

So much fun! Thanks for being there.

Thanks for hanging out! Was a fun conversation.

Yeah, it's an OBS configuration with a really low framerate, then sped up with ffmpeg! Need to experiment though because the file size of the original recording was way too large, heh

@@davidroome137 Despiteobs python API does not expose the screen capture we can use OFox213's obs-screenshot-plugin fork! It comes with Timer Hotkey that keeps capturing image into file every designated seconds - just tested x64 release (the only release) and it works flawlessly - wonder if it works on mac os tho as I don't own it

oh my comment's are lost again I think, I wrote about the plugin I found for just that task - I think you could combine with ffmpeg to encode images into video every few seconds while it's capturing to save extra space, details are in that deleted comment!

I can see the comments in studio. Thanks for the info, I want to find a good solution for timelapse because it's a lot of fun and worth figuring out how to do it right.

Part of the reason I wanted to try Polyscope is that it uses imgui, heh

@@davidroome137 no way, it really is imgui!? now that's something cool! Tho I remember my senior at company was having trouble with unicode with imgui for entire last week - wonder if it's c++ only issue or just windows being windows haha

Thanks! Hopefully will be streaming more often again soon.

​@@davidroome137 Hope you had great days meanwhile! Currently things are getting busier here so might take weeks to catch up for while haha

Yep, that's exactly right. More gliding and drifting as opposed to "planes in space", although the flight control system allows both.

This is a good idea. There is extra debug type info in various HUD components right now, but even without that, there is probably more than necessary.

I don't know why anybody would assume if the design is fake or not since they probably didn't even serve in the military during the First Trans-Lunar War of 1997.

Thanks for the feedback! I have a few things in the works that will probably improve that.

Glad you could hang out tonight! Hope your schedule eases up and you can get some more sleep soon, heh!

Thanks! I have a lot of pieces and am checking lots of random bugs off the list. Getting to the point where I can release a demo will require tuning behavior trees for enemies and allies and also balancing gameplay, something I've barely started and I have no idea how long it will take! But I'll be starting on that soon.

@@davidroome137 ah no rush! take your time, gotta show the absolute best in demo ain't it!

Me and my friend used to play the demo on our old PC laptops with a null modem cable.

No velocity cap...the way the flight control system works is that a certain key increases the target velocity while held. You can continue increasing beyond a max velocity while holding the key down. When you let up on the key, thrusters run to bring your velocity to the target velocity in the whatever direction the ship is facing. That's why it comes down to 300 m/s. There's also a "drift" key which disables the thrusters.

>>> dict_ = {f"{i:10}": i for i in range(10000)} >>> arr = list(range(10000)) >>> key = " 512" >>> >>> import timeit >>> >>> def dict_access_hardcoded(): ... for _ in range(10000): ... dict_[" 512"] * 1 >>> >>> def dict_access_global_key(): ... for _ in range(10000): ... dict_[key] * 1 >>> >>> def arr_access(): ... for _ in range(10000): ... arr[512] * 1 >>> # not cached >>> print(timeit.timeit(dict_access_hardcoded, number=10000)) ... print(timeit.timeit(dict_access_global_key, number=10000)) ... print(timeit.timeit(arr_access, number=10000)) 4.162657599999875 4.493375699999888 3.5392459000004237 # after cached I suppose >>> print(timeit.timeit(dict_access_hardcoded, number=10000)) ... print(timeit.timeit(dict_access_global_key, number=10000)) ... print(timeit.timeit(arr_access, number=10000)) 4.016332600000169 4.214319400000022 3.413639200000034 >>>

11:59 - Yep! I like functional programming and in this case it's really more a set of functions with different dependencies than an object, heh. 13:38 - Floating origin should work fine for you, there are just gotchas. The shadows thing was particularly tricky because of how the shadow map follow the player while snapping to texels. 1:04:03 - I just switched to using ints for ids of entities...considered using a list like the code you shared (I was able to see it in studio) But I prefer dicts since the set of entities does dynamically grow (and shrink, for now) during gameplay.

@@davidroome137 oh thought it would've be static list of bullets, no way managing two lists for k-v pair is faster than a dict! Simplest yet the fastest, how one can resist that! Makes total sense going for dict

These modern remakes of classic lego sets are great. Preserve the design and many details of the originals while adding new details. Pirates of Barracuda Bay is another great one (and maybe the best Lego set of all time in my opinion)

Oh, and your video might be quite on low-gain relative to other videos on YT! I think you might already know this, but when you right click on YT vid screen > Adv. Statistics you can see "Volume / Normalized" Section. Normally that place has trailing "(content loudness: dB)", which indicates how small the volume was, then that youtube normalized it to their standard. (Altho still some videos sounds way smaller than other though) Using your past stream as example, one you streamed 2024/4/26 (for UTC+9) with title "Live coding! Low poly 3D modeling ..." has content loudness of -17.4dB - you can compare this with other's livestreams as a reference on how much to adjust your gain on OBS! Honestly still not sure if YT normalize volume by perceived loudness or by the peak to see that some other videos sounds drastically louder entire time than other videos, kinda mysterious.

Totally love FPV on 9:07 and afterward - btw is that internal screen showing targeted ship to clip out of the screen area? Kinda look cool to think it's 3D hologram haha

Yeah it's a cheap effect that I implemented before I figured out render-to-texture, but it is cool in it's own way!

Thanks for the feedback, still figuring this out! I haven't messed with audio settings too much. I'm using the built in mic in my MacBook Pro and have the volume level for "Audio Input Capture" turned all the way up in the mixer, but no additional gain added in Advanced Audio Properties. Loudness of -17.4 db makes sense, that lines up with what I'm seeing in the mixer. Reaching just beyond the green range into yellow in OBS. Does seem lower than what I see in the mixer for Screen capture when listening to other livestreams with the volume turned up in the video player. Will do an audio test stream at some point.
