Auto Tiled Shader - Atomic Ivy MMO

 Auto Tiled Shader - Atomic Ivy MMO

www.tinyurl.com/BOMB-CODE


Shader #7 looks a lot different with auto tiling applied
to it. We didn't change any of the rendering code from
the previous youtube #short . All we did was inject
an auto tiling method bitfield equal to 0xC ( binary: 1100 )
into our tile values. Tiles with the most significant 2
auto tiling method bits set will auto tile horizontally
and vertically... Let's make a truth table


    AM4 BINARY[ 0 0 0 0 ] : Auto Tiles With NOTHING
    AM4 BINARY[ 0 1 0 0 ] : Auto Tiles Only HORIZONTALLY
    AM4 BINARY[ 1 0 0 0 ] : Auto Tiles Only VERTICALLY
    AM4 BINARY[ 1 1 0 0 ] : Auto Tiles In BOTH DIRECTIONS
    

    Don't worry about those other bits ,

    we will get to those bits later.
    
    They also do cool stuff.

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

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

Usage of my time

 Every single time I make a new code delta, I film 3 videos. 1. A tech demo on my WeebCoder channel. 2. A 10 minute code review on NinjaCoder channel. 3. A 1 minute code review on my KanjiCoder channel. This is very time consuming. And I don't see this blog getting any views.  So MAYBE I will make a post on this blog once a year to check up on it and re-evaluate it's usefulness. My youtube channel is : www.youtube.com/@KANJICODER I am already at video 1,000 + and I am thinking it might take about 3,000 videos before we are ready to release a game. Who knows. -KanjiCoder
