Well, progress on the engine is good enough. I had to rewrite the faulty code that created an offset borders after remembering to enable the depth test.

I have to hard-code any geometry for now, but it will get easier as I move it to file-based.

In-dev:



Next turn as soon as I can get the rest of the geometry of this room into the game. Shouldn't be hard. However, holes in walls will be.

You get the PERCEPTION FACET, but your VISUALIZATION PREFETCH is full.
The FACET CONTAINMENT MATRIX automatically opens to show that you have accuired it.

>REMOVIVY the PERCEPTION FACET in the ULTRAMARINE MANIFESTATION. INSTALIVY new PERCEPTION FACET in CRIMSON MANIFESTATION.

Due to the limited size of the VISUALIZATION PREFETCH , you swap out the HOLE REVEAL PERCEPTION FACET for the newly accuired SPATIAL/GRAVITATIONAL PORTAL FACET. You apply the new PERCEPTION FACET to your CRIMSON MANIFESTATION.


((Engine: I still do most of the final graphics by hand, including the GUI. The real bonus comes when I do animations, as it will be much smoother.))

1)Do an experiment: Are things not visible still present in the world?
   -Try to push through the green wall in the corner
      -If successful, terminate experiment.
      -If not, remove the PERCEPTION FACET from your CHARTREUSE MANIFESTATION. Then try to push through the area where the wall should be.
         -Give results. See if there is anything behind the wall whilst at it.

2)Look around the room for more CRIMSON PORTALS

To do this next update, I will need to write a full portal-drawing(single iteration) engine into what I already have, and at the very least, a bounds box for the player in the portal-image so I can 'paint it in after.

Spoiler: The green wall is solid until you deactivate the manifestation.

I am surprised someone guessed the nature of the manifestations so quickly. Not only does it allow you to see things, it also allows interaction. And interaction is sometimes a bad thing.

Also, the next update will be animated, otherwise I could get away with manually doing the portals.

DF has animations!

[qwertyuiopas]

Animated: A series of images in visible steps, that still show a hint of motion. Basically 10 or so sequential screenshots at 1/second, nothing smooth.

Also, does anyone have a decent OpenGL tutorial on portal graphics?

And when I get decent physics in, I can use a screen capture(built-in?) for real animations, but for now, I just need the portals drawn properly.

Posting so I can keep up to tabs on this.

It's not going to update until I finally force myself to get the stencil buffer portal drawing in(It would draw the portals last, marking the stencil buffer where it passes the z-test, and then redraw the whole room(not recursing through the portal code, just drawing the quad) on the other side. Repeat for each portal in view.

Then I need at least the corners of the player's bounding box, or at least some kind of indicator, so that I can MSpaint it in. Maybe that can wait a bit...
