A blood splatting effect demo (now with animated chicks !)

Hey folks, I worked on a little experiment using canvas during my last weekend. I ended up trying to make blood splats everywhere, because blood is the coolest thing :vamp: Yet I have a decent but unsatisfying blood effect. It lacks " something " but I can't put the finger on it. As a cons...

Details are:

Code: Select all

Line 10: implicit cast from float to vec2

Re: Performance and screenSpace culling

I used profiler.lua and KCacheGrind to visualize the logs. I found several issues with my approach: - Recomputing every AABB on each frame even if the object didn't move is silly - using a costy method to check AABB against each other But after fixing thoses I ended up with a similar problem. If it'...

Re: Performance and screenSpace culling

I meant more along the lines of: [some code] ... Oh, it's clearer now. :awesome: I tried it, with a slight improvement over my 3-loop-thing. But still worse than a not-culled version. As kikito adviced, I'll take a moment to investigate where the program spends most time. I strongly suspect the AAB...

Re: Performance and screenSpace culling

I assume you're talking about the culling function in particular, but you've got to be aware that table.insert and table.remove (the one you're using) are relatively slow on huge tables. Maybe there's an easy and efficient way to nil them, then remove the gaps afterwards. Alternatively, maybe a new...

I recently decided to implement a kind of RenderQueue myself, using Slither OOP library and HUMP , mainly for vectors and camera objects. In essence a RenderQueue is an object taking care o...

Re: Best inventory system for an RPG game

I've seen an interesting option in the open source remake of X-com. It's called UFO:Alien Invasion . You manage a team of 2 to 10 person with independent inventory each. So it has to be quick and simple. Every squad member has an outfit, providing armor and defining the size of the inventory. The fu...

Re: blogs.love2d.org - The Official LÖVE Blogs!

Congratulation to our writers ! Both articles are amazing and very instructive. However, I advice to use more images. This helps comprehension, especially when dealing with 2d math. The image Santos made in this very topic helped me a lot to understand the article, so I guess it could help any reade...
