Hooray! Click+Drag! - Atomic Ivy MMO

 Drag To Set Tiles
- Atomic Ivy MMO -




    We can now set tiles by holding down the mouse and
    dragging in addition to the previous clicking method.

    This is great , but it lags horribly.

    Why?

    Well... Every time we set ONE(1) tile we are
    pushing up the entire 2048 x 2048 texture that
    encodes our tilemap data.

    Question : How many pixels encode a single tile?

    Answer : ONE(1)

    So... We are doing ( 2048 * 2048 ) more work than
    what needs to be done so....

    Instead of pushing up 1 pixel evey time we set a
    tile we are pushing up...

    4,194,304 pixels..

    That's massively inefficient.

    If I had a dollar for every time I wasted 4 bytes of
    GPU bandwidth... Well.. I'd have 4 million dollars
    per click. Better cash in on that. I need the money
    to fund my really expensive beef jerky and coffee
    habbit.

    Luckily I am doing better than most people my age
    because I stay away from avacado toast and coffee.
    I know someone who tried avacado and toast once.
    Now they are on the street sucking D/I1I/C/K for
    avacado toast. Avacado Toast #NOTEVENONCE

Level Isolated Mirroring Brush

 Level Isolated Mirroring Brush www.tinyurl.com/BOMB-CODE A mirroring tile brush where the origin is always the current level you are clicking in. This gives me ideas for a brush where the origin is the EDGES of the levels rather than the CENTERS of the levels. It could be used to make decorative pillar-like designs on the boundaries between levels. However, it is time to move on from this fucking around. We need to create previewable save-format for Josh so that he can manage his level designs. I would also like this. Because I am having trouble remembering what save files contain what when I am doing technical demo videos. I could also make an imgur gallery full of save files that are also images, which would be nice. I am very tired and my focus is shot. Just decided I should make this post now because it is either now or never. And even if it were now or later, now is going to be more efficient than later. My mind may be unfocused and tired and slightly foggy, but it is better than

Atomic Ivy MMO - GPU Texture Sampling Math Is Wrong

The tile shader in Atomic Ivy MMO has a bit of a bug in it.... One Of These Videos Is For Vertical Monitors ( or phones ). The other is for Horizontal Monitors. If you are really clever, you can turn your phone sideways to make it a horizontal monitor.     Video Footage From :     Atomic Ivy MMO Tutorial Series - Video #206     After creating a set of debug functions in our     KonamiC ( Konami Code ) system, I found that only     the "7" key resulted in any visible feedback.     The key that should have been filling EXACTLY ONE     LEVEL PACK appeared to be filling ALL NINE LEVEL PACKS.     Realizing that it was only the top corner level pack     being edited that resulted in visual feedback from     the shader, I decided to try to set tiles in the     first level pack...     Turns out...     I can only see tiles if they are set in the FIRST LEVEL     of the FIRST LEVEL PACK. We have a 3x3 grid of     levelpacks loaded into the game. Debug functions     bound to the numpad k
