Re: Passing large amount of data to shader
It might also help to rethink the problem from a different angle – because a 2000-iteration loop for each pixel is a lot , even if you could access that much data. Is it possible to reorganize your problem so that you're drawing the actual circles, instead of just accessing the circle data in a sha...

Passing large amount of data to shader
What's a good way to pass a big amount of data to a shader? I'm looking at passing a table, with variable size, of circle objects. Something like: circles = {[1] = {x1, y1, r1}, [2] = {x2, y2, r2} ..., [n] = {xn, yn, rn}} I was doing with vec3 matrices, but then I have to hard code the size and it o...

Re: What motivates you ?
In the moment I'm a undecided person that is bouncing from a concept of a game to another concept. I'm really bored with programming right now, I'm not sure what to do. I had something to say, but I don't think I'm in the position to be the person that says something good right now hahaha Procastina...

Re: physics library?
It really depends. I mean, if you need a precise physics simulation you should use Box2D, unless you want to bother with making your own physics engine. Use if you want, but keep in mind it's pretty complex (not hard to learn, though) and it takes a bit of work to make it do things the way you want ...

Re: (PL)ANT LIFE - Our entry for Indie Speed Run 2015
Really cool! I remember playing a game that was pretty similar in the past.
Great art, great music. A complete game missing a ending! I'm impressed, really.

Re: Returning an angle
Just a small reminder: the function is defined as math.atan2(Y, X). If using in a cartesian plane, the coordinates are flipped (Y first then X).Telecorpse wrote:Thanks a lot!bio1712 wrote:You can use this:

Re: The Blueprints Machine
I'm loving your video updates! You're being my inspiration for sometime now :D Here's the video on how to blow a gorilla up :D mV2m9w3kIKE I guess that if you have squared root it wouldn't be soooo hard. I think it is a great idea for a advanced physics-based level. Problem would be obstacles and th...

Re: LÖVE Hints for Brackets.io
God! Brackets is such a nice editor! Feels so nice to use it. I guess I will use it to edit my code, and ZeroBrane Studio to debug it. It's so good looking and easy to use.

Re: Tips to be aware of game performance?
Sticking to your notebook is probably a good idea for development. That's what I did and it taught me lots. Thing is, even without anything being processed it only reaches 100 fps tops. Add some simple objects and it goes to 40 real fast. Now, my main computer can run everything with 900+ fps. It's...

Tips to be aware of game performance?
Hi guys. I just wanted to know what are your tips to be aware if your game uses too much processing power. Is there even a way to measure this? I'm currently switching between my fucking-beast-8000-computer to my flipplity-doo-1997-notebook, and I'm having some trouble trying to get this right. I'd ...
