Questions About Random Isolated Mirror Brush ( VER_043 )


I am making an engine for an MMO.
Original video here:
https://www.youtube.com/shorts/_PCglEj-piY



 A four second video isn't much time to explain.
But hey, I am not famous.
So I have the time to put this together since you two were curious.

My engine uses a thing I call a "Hotel" , which is a levelpack storing 13 levels in the configuration below.
( "Hotel" isn't a technical term, I just make up my own words for things. )


Each level is 64x64 tiles, but each level also has all power of 2 tiles.
So each level is actually 7 layers:
Layer 0 : A 64x64 map of 1x tiles
Layer 1 : A 32x32 map of 2x tiles
Layer 2 : A 16x16 map of 4x tiles
Layer 3 : A 8x8 map of 8x tiles
Layer 4 : A 4x4 map of 16x tiles
Layer 5 : A 2x2 map of 32x tiles
Layer 6 : A 1x1 map of 64x tile, One giant tile the size of an entire level.

The ISOLATED brush has an origin isolated to the level , see below animation:


See Video Of Above : https://www.youtube.com/shorts/_PCglEj-piY


The GLOBAL brush mirrors globally, using the center ROOM(level) of the center HOTEL(levelpack) as an origin. ( See Gif Below )





The randomness is because the brush changes the power of 2 tile size it is laying down every once and a while.
All of these settings are configurable in the editor.

If you would like to become a tester for my engine and try out the editor:

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

Atomic Ivy MMO Development Has Begun!

www.tinyurl.com/BOMB-PLAYLIST-001 (For the JavaScript Tutorials) 10 years ago , I made this prototype . These are 3 render settings applied to the same multi-layer tilemap. The idea was that if we combine auto tiling with multi-layer and render modes, we can create visually interesting fully destructible geometry for a game.   But there was a problem , I wrote this in FLASH and it didn't render in realtime. In 2020 I started learning shader code and started making prototype proof of concepts. I never quite got back to here, but I got to here: I have made about 4 small proof of concepts , 1 JavaScript game attempt , and 2 C99 game attempts... So far... I haven't finished anything. I really want to make the game we made in 2012 and re-do it using what I've learned about graphics to make a destructible geometry side scroller bomberman game that PLAYS and FEELS like an old NES game , but looks a hell of a lot better. To accomplish this, I had an idea to implement a thing I call
