Tile Engine Block-In : Atomic Ivy MMO

 Tile Engine Block-In

www.tinyurl.com/BOMB-PLAYLIST-002




We have blocked in geometry tile rendering locations. Video #262 of our "Atomic Ivy MMO" series resulted in finding a bug in how we were rendering our grid. The grid was shifted to the right and down, after setting tiles this mistake was obvious. So in video #262 we added tile blocking but we also did bug fixes to our grid rendering.

I am making an MMO using JavaScript. Minimal libraries. PostGres because I am not insane and writing my own database drivers. UPNG because I am insane and have tried to make my own .PNG compressor and de-compressor and failed miserably after 3 months of trying.

Express.js ? Fuck no. I write my own routing.

Eventually I will be showing you how to write an HTTP Post with a binary payload from "scratch" using nothing but the built-in Node.js standard library. I've already done it, but we need to finish our tile rendering logic before we worry about loading and saving to a database.

We are probably going to do some modifications so the MMO's server uses a git-repo for levelmap data instead of a database. One step at a time though, this is very far into the future.

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. https://imgur.com/r/fractals/b5FkcbH This post got 2,000 views : https://imgur.com/gallery/G1TX4lB This post got 700 views : https://imgur.com/gallery/amqzmrs This post got 3,000 views : https://imgur.com/gallery/EbP27Cv This post got 7,000 views: https://imgur.com/gallery/7krsn58 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.

Atomic Ivy MMO - Alpha Compositing

Image
     Atomic Ivy MMO : ALPHA COMPOSITING! WOOOH! B_G : Geometry Tiles : The materials the world is built with. F_G : Bomb Tiles : The bombs that can blow up the world. M_G : Fada Tiles : FADA == "FlAmes and DAmage" tiles. Vertical Monitor Video ( below ) : Horizontal Monitor Video ( below ) :     We are now stacking the geometry, bomb, and fada     tiles from back to front with alpha compositing.     The results I am seeing look correct. Or in     other words, I am seeing what I expected to     see.     RED dominates because FADA tiles are rendered using     red and they are composited on top of the other     two tile types.     Upon close observation I can also see that the     most extreme inset amount is being applied to     the red fada tiles.     I am very tired and somewhat delirious. ...

Heroku No Longer Free , Dumping My Tech Demo Images Here

  I think my computer must have blue-screened while I was working on this. Because I remember painstakengly gathering all the images and comments... Yet nothing is here accept some notes... Oh well.... We will work on that on a later date.      Let's just make our engine impressive enough that it outshines everything that was in our tech demos. R.I.P. Tech Demos Site : https://d3m0.herokuapp.com/      Working on a fractal auto tiling engine. I record 100% of development live on twitch: www.twitch.com/kanjicoder You can email me: HeavyMetalCookies@Gmail.com Advertising is __OK__ on my channel, HOWEVER... Whatever you are working on must have improved since the last time you posted.
