Only 5 Views !?

Am I Out Of Touch With Reality?


I've posted enough stuff to imgur to know roughly how many views something should get. For some reason , this post I made only has gotten 5 views in 2 days. And I posted it around 11am on Sunday. So not at a weird ass hour in the middle of the night.

https://imgur.com/gallery/9ih0Shd  <-- 5 Views Only ?! WTF?!

While I am sure it's not as awesome looking as this thing I posted, this thing to 5,000 views.

My hypothesis for why I got low views :

 Hypothesis #1 :
Imgur is lying to me about preview image:





I am led to believe the preview image for the gallery is the image in the top-left.
However, it is more likely that the preview image is actually:



Hypothesis #2 : Imgur Impresson Throttle

Imgur throttled impressions because the gallery was full of some really "heavy" (memory wise) animated gifs.

Hypothesis #3 : I am out of touch with reality.


What I posted is not as awesome as I think and I am out of touch with reality.
I find this unlikely, as I have other images of a similar "look" to compare view counts with. Opinions of others would help me figure out if hypothesis #3 is true.

Re-creating the imgur post:


I just finished video 300 of my tutorial series on how to make an MMO using and Node . js .
www.tinyurl.com/BOMB-GAME-TUTORIAL








We are creating a fully destructible fractal geometry side scroller game. Though coding in , the style is written like C99 with a focus on "data oriented design". Also, the renderer is webgl , which is basically an extension of C.

Advanced Tutorial Playlist : (1 minute videos) www . tinyurl . com/BOMB-PLAYLIST-001 Intermediate Tutorial Playlist :( 10 minute videos ) www . tinyurl . com/BOOM-PLAYLIST-001 If you are interested in playing this game and making levels for it, I will be adding 4-second tech demo videos to this playlist. When save & load features are done , I will film a 4-second update video announcing it. www . tinyurl . com/FRACTAL-BOMBERMAN (For Phones And Vertical Monitors) www . tinyurl . com/BOMBERMAN-FRACTAL (For Horizontal Monitors )




The tutorials explain EVERY SINGLE LINE OF CODE. Each time I add a line of code, that line of code gets a marker in the margins. For example, I can see the code here was originally written in videos #263 and #264 , I can see that in videos #275 and #283 a refactor happened. Makers closest to my 64-column limit marker ( cyan line ) are the newest changes.



If this looks cool to you, I'll let you know I am currently writing a new shader that should look BETTER than this and be 21X ( TWENTY ONE TIMES ) faster.

It is starting to get really fun to play with. And I haven't even finished all the features slated for the final renderer. I've had this renderer in my head since 2012 ( 10 years ago ). Finally focusing on it. Why 10 years ago? Some "good excuse" always comes up. Like for example... I have a patent for mechanical building blocks for making modular furniture. I need money for my 2nd patent... I could go work a roofing job right now to pay a patent lawyer so I can get my 2nd patent. OR... I can keep working on this engine, and lose my patent. I think I am going to lose my mechanical patent. The patent is just one of those "good excuses" to stop working on this engine.

All capitals. Tag #0255 because an unsigned byte holds values 0-to-255 inclusive. If my youtube channel is still small once I get to video number 999 I am going to take a step back to re-evaluate my sanity and life choices. -KanjiCoder

Hypothesis #4 : Imgur thinks I am spamming.


Imgur thinks I am a spammer because of all the "www.tinyurl.com" links I put into the post.
Which is weird, because imgur removes clickable links now. Which is really fucking annoying.

Level Isolated Mirroring Brush

Image
 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

Image
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

Hooray! Click+Drag! - Atomic Ivy MMO

Image
 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 someon
