Hi guys! So, I was thinking about a simple system for setting up interaction between random entities. Let me explain. I have an entity that can interact with another. The interaction link cannot be established until I know which entities are going to share information, however, I can only know the e...

The best solution, as Slime pointed out, is padding each tile with a 1 pixel border with the color of the neighbouring pixel, this will get rid of the issue under all possible image transformations. I believe this issue has to do with how OpenGL uses the neighbouring pixel color (that falls outside ...

Thanks Ranguna, glad you liked it. I used to analyse a lot of these kinds of machines back in college. The math is quite extensive, I remember my mechanisms professor coming up with all sorts of obscure trigonometry identities and algebraic substitutions during his intense demonstrations. He'd pract...

Hi Omar, have you tried ProFi.lua as a profiling tool? That's what I'm currently using; Its interface is very basic, but should give you an idea of how your code is performing. Also, how did you discover the memory leak? Just by looking at the task manager? or any other in-game unusual behaviour?

Hi guys, This is a simple crank-rocker mechanism (AKA four-bar linkage) simulation I did for a little project I'm working on. The mechanism has four links: a driver or crank link that, as you guessed, drives the entire thing; a coupler that transmits motion between intermediate links. The last link ...

Excellent! Thank you to the whole dev team!

Here’s MK’s version. Thanks for the detailed algorithm explanation! It really resembles a stack implented flood-fill algorithm ; if I recall correctly, the complexity for the flood-fill algorithm is O(n) where n is the number of target-color nodes. Power gems are stacked blocks of the same color, i...

Hi, clofresh I love Puzzle Fighter (I especially like Mortal Kombat's take on it, both puzzle games are great). Your version is looking pretty solid for now, I played for a while and it seems you got all the basic functionality ironed out. I haven't looked at the code yet, but may I ask how are you ...

http://www.gamasutra.com/view/feature/132292/postmortem_mommys_best_games_.php?print=1 Thanks for the link, twobit, that article is pretty good, there's some very nice stuff in it, definitely inspiring. I might give this whole skeletal system thing a shot one day in the future, for now I think I'll...

Santos,
Thank you for this excellent and detailed explanation, this is awesome! cheers!
