Game Development / Networking & Multiplayer / Re: Need a bit of help with networked physics in 2d

Alright, I spent a couple hours trying to figure out the physics, and this is what I came up with. A friend and I researched the concept of the coefficient of restitution (giving us another equation to use), and after much simplifying, we found out that for 2 objects of equal mass in an elastic collision, they just swap velocities. I then came up with this algorithm to perform the collision response: http://i45.tinypic.com/2ld7tzp.jpg (page 1) http://i49.tinypic.com/1w9j4.jpg (page 2) But, it only works for certain angles. For others, the 2 objects just stick together, collide for a couple of game ticks, and then stop. Here's a compilable example to show the problem: 1

Game Development / Networking & Multiplayer / Need a bit of help with networked physics in 2d
|
on: 2012-06-08 07:19:48

I'm trying to revive a long-forgotten project. Basically, each player in this game will control an object that can be represented as a circle in 2D. The players will be moving around a playing area and they can bounce off each other with (hopefully) some semblance of realism. Having studied physics in high school this past year (woo hoo!) I can pretty confidently say this is a case of an inelastic collision, since /some/ energy will be lost. But, for simplicity's sake, I'll probably simulate it as an elastic collision. I've heard networked physics is really, really hard, but I'm sure there are some shortcuts I can take because it's circles in 2D?! I guess my question is 2 parts: 1. Since kinetic energy and momentum are both conserved in an elastic collision, the sum of the momenta of the 2 objects involved in the collision will be the same before and after the collision. The equation we were given to solve elastic collisions is: 1
| m1v1i + m2v2i = m1v1f + m2v2f |
In my game, for now, I'm assuming all objects have a mass of 1. So, Solving for v1f and v2f, 1
2
| v1f = v1i + v2i - v2f
v2f = v1i + v2i - v1f |
(where v1 and v2 are <x, y> velocities, 'i' means initial, and 'f' means final) Each solution depends on the other... I need more information? What other information? In all the types of problems we were given to solve in school, they always gave us one of the final velocities. 2. What is the best way to communicate player physics updates to all the rest of the clients? The old implementation just fired off packets from the client to the server every 30 milliseconds with the player's new position, and the server would then spam everybody else with the new data. Needless to say, this didn't work too well. How hard can a good implementation be? Sorry this post is pretty scatterbrained, it's late here. |

Well IMHO we're just recreating old game with new style.
In 3D TTT, I wonder how you input for the center cell (1, 1, 1) when all cells near it are filled.
To move your piece, you rotate the board by dragging and then use the up/down/left/right arrows to put it in the right place. It's actually intuitive, although it doesn't really sound like it by the way I'm describing it.  |

Nah, they've been there for a while. They're just a very light grey.
Heh, maybe I just now started noticing them because they're off. Now that I've sufficiently derailed the thread, you may continue discussing arrays of ArrayLists... /walks off in shame |

Java Game APIs & Engines / Android / Tic Tac Twist: multiplayer 3D tic-tac-toe for Android
|

*I wasn't sure whether to post this in Showcase or Android--if it's in the wrong spot, please do move it.* After about two months of work, I've finished my latest project, Tic Tac Twist. It's a multiplayer 3D tic-tac-toe game that you can play with your friends over Wi-Fi or a cell connection. Kinda like Words with Friends, except tic-tac-toe. As for the technical aspects of the implementation, it's a native Android app using OpenGL for the rendering of the actual gameplay screen and the Android windowing stuff for everything else. The server side runs on PHP with a SQL backend for storing accounts/game state data. It returns JSON-encoded objects back to the client for processing. Paid version ($0.99): https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.logiklabs.tictactwistFree version (no ads): https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.logiklabs.tictactwist.freeI do want to make a bit of money from it, but I'm also going to upload a free version sometime today/tomorrow because I realize my game isn't quite in-depth enough for people to shell out a dollar for it. And, nobody's bought it yet. Then again, I haven't advertised at all. I'd be interested to know what you guys think. Some screenshots: (apologies for JPG, android market Google Play converts them for some reason...)    |

Java Game APIs & Engines / OpenGL Development / Re: Fontexturer - make .png images from TTF fonts for OpenGL textures
|

Is it for monospace (fixed width) fonts only?
It works with any font. But, it's hard to use it with proportional fonts because it doesn't save the dimension information for the characters. If anyone's interested, here's a modified PreviewPanel::save method which writes another file called "metrics.ftx" containing the x/y/width/height of the bounding box for all the characters it puts in the .png image. 1

I really like this game. It's an original concept (or at least I haven't seen anything similar to it before) and the level editor is definitely a nice touch. My only criticism is that it doesn't appear to be double-buffered, at least on my machine.

You can also do it using trigonometry to find the angle between the 2 points (with the atan2 function you mentioned) and then stepping towards the second point using cos() and sin(): 1

(note that this example won't work if x2 > x1 or y2 > y1, I just wrote it in like 2 minutes so it's not too complete) Also, if you're getting this frustrated, maybe it's a sign that you need to go to sleep. Seriously, programming is so much easier when you're not so tired that you're falling out of your chair. Second, I request you only give me code, if you intend to respond, do it with something that will advance my current situation.
Some people might take offense to being told how to respond, and other people like to explain concepts instead of providing code. |

Game Development / Shared Code / Re: Perspective correct texture-mapped triangle routine
|
on: 2011-12-13 00:05:40

Very interesting! Bookmarked in case I want to do something that isn't supported in hardware yet! Anything on the performance of it?
Why are the texture coordinates and vertex coordinates ints? I want doubles, or at least floats! xD
Well, the idea is that by this point you will have already projected your points in 3d to screen coordinates, which are assumed by this method to be whole number pixels. My routine doesn't do any fancy rounding stuff to make fractional pixels look nicer, so floats/doubles aren't really necessary. About performance: it's probably not too great but I haven't tested it extensively. I got 500fps with 2 triangles at 320x240, but that dropped down to 50 fps at 1600x900. And that's only 2 triangles. I guess I've got some optimization to do.  |

Game Development / Shared Code / Perspective correct texture-mapped triangle routine
|
on: 2011-12-12 02:18:01

Here's a method I wrote to fill in textured triangles. (x1, y1, z1) to (x3, y3, z3) are the 3 points of the triangle, (u1, v1) to (u3, v3) are the UV texture coordinates, texture[] is the texture image, sidelen is the length of the sides of the texture (should be a power of 2), pixels[] is the buffer to draw the triangle into, and width/height are the buffer dimensions. UV coordinates are specified in texture image pixels, not 0.0 to 1.0 like in OpenGL. I didn't see too much software rendering code posted so I thought I'd put something out there! There's probably a lot of room for improvement; I'm not sure if floats/doubles are still dismally slow but perhaps a fixed-point implementation would be better. Here's a screenshot of the code in action:  Have fun with it. 1

Welcome to community  I can say you already have big leap progress there. You wanna to four-kay? be my rival then Thanks! And, I guess the competition's on.  Welcome to JGO!
And I'm interested in that workaround to bypass screen-monitoring software (my current school does it), how would that work?
Heh. I used Wireshark to figure out what the program did (it sent Base64-encoded jpgs of the screen encapsulated in XML over HTTP) and wrote something that emulated that, but sent whatever screenshot you wanted. I'd give you the source, but I was dumb and put the program on a website and the next thing I knew the company who made the monitoring software was all mad at me and asked me to take it down. Oops accidental medal...enjoy Anyway, ah I already tried to do that but of course, the computers are already locked down, can't install or accept UAC  also how would you stop the monitoring program from sending the screenshot too? It was a Windows service, and I just disabled it. |

Good to hear you're liking Java and you've written an impressive amount of stuff in a short period of time.

First, I haven't really seen many introduction threads around here, so I don't know if they're allowed, but you people seem like a friendly bunch so here goes! I'm Matt, I'm 16, and I'm from Texas. My involvement with computers started at the age of 4 when my parents bought me the "Pajama Sam" and "Putt Putt" kids' point-and-click adventure games. My other hobby at that age was going to websites like dell.com and compaq.com and configuring the most awesome computers money could buy--of course, I never got to buy them. By 8, I had taught myself HTML, QBASIC and Visual Basic (I don't know how I got involved in them, really), by 11 I was messing around in C++ (I should post some of the horrible C++ code I wrote, it would make for a good laugh), and around 2 years ago I started poking around with Java. Projects since then have included an IRC client, a published Android app, a couple silly games, a bypass (er, workaround) for screen-monitoring software a (past) high school of mine installed on students' laptops, a cruddy software 3d renderer, and various other things. I'm planning to enter the Java4k game contest this year. My biggest weakness is overthinking/overdesigning things, and I'm hoping to curb that. So, yup. Here I am. I hope to contribute to this excellent community. |
