I assume you'll have rendering optimisations and stuff? Rendering every voxel in the world would be quite a bit.

Good luck. Eagerly awaiting your game.

They're not voxels! And yeah, I do have some ideas to dynamically change levels of detail.

The slowest part now is

Code: [Select]

[pseudo:]
for(int x = 0;x<max;x++)
for(int y = 0;y<max;y++)
for(int z = 0;z<max;z++)Although it only has to run when a piece of world is loaded, it's slowing down stuff a lot.
Looping every little part is not necessary if 90% of that cube is empty space. But the octree-edgefinder-solution I came up with isn't foolproof either, as there are configurations that are unfindable that way and therefore it will might chop off mountain tops, for instance. And it's somehow skipping edges and screwing up my normals. I now have abnormals.

Firstly, moving and rehashing some old stuff from version 0.0.2 to 0.0.3, such as the procedural materials and textures.

[lordnincompoop]

Oh bleh pseudocode. I can never read that stuff.

hi I just noticed this thread

...
this is great. I'll try to contribute.
My specialty is Visual Basic but I'm OK with C++ too. (Need to learn more though)

how can you live???

EDIT: What the hell is going on here? what project are you guys working on?

EDIT: What the hell is going on here? what project are you guys working on?

Nothing specific, people just drop in with a question every now and then. I myself am trying to create bitmaps.

what do you mean? (I use paint for that )
what language? I know how to easily do it in VB though.
(I'm looking up SDL and OpenGL tutorials right now...)

If that is pseudocode instead of mangled C++/java I'll eat Manhattan.

[TolyK]

pseudo i think referring to var names.

[lordnincompoop]

Go eat Manhattan.

Also, I'd still like an answer to the LNK2005 thing. It's killing me, and I can't compile properly.

[ILikePie]

I'm trying to write bytes into the file, the end result being a bitmap. Java does have raster image classes (I think it was Java.), and it can turn them bitmap for you too, but the idea is to do it on my own.

Note that java's imaging support is really really bad. If you know the image format, it might actually be easier to edit it directly.

[Virex]

I think that's exactly what he's trying to do.

[Nadaka]

Good. You have no idea how hard I had to bang my head against the brick wall of java in order to be able to convert a short[][] to a 16bit grayscale png and back using the standard imaging libraries. Color images were easier, but I guess I found the special case destined for frustration.

[TolyK]

hey wait a minute.
I found this tutorial for SDL: http://cone3d.gamedev.net/cgi-bin/index.pl?page=tutorials/gfxsdl/index
and here's another one: http://lazyfoo.net/SDL_tutorials/

[Siquo]

You might want to look at SFML instead of SDL. I did, and didn't look back.
