Text Texture Atlas

Tue, 16 Nov 2021 15:29:05 GMT

So I got thinking about what I should do with regards to text as of late. Drawing potentially up to 64 quads per glyph really doesn't seem as appealing as just drawing one quad that knows what uvs to...

Very Smol Fix

Mon, 15 Nov 2021 17:57:40 GMT

Added Fade In / Out And New Particle System

Sat, 13 Nov 2021 18:13:32 GMT

First, I'd recommend that you read yesterday's post to understand where the fade in / out effect is being applied: https://andrewnreinke.itch.io/funmi/devlog/313954/circular-texture Tagging this as a...

Circular Texture

Fri, 12 Nov 2021 19:25:45 GMT

Today I added a new little effect that only happens when you hit the wall. I might change it a little bit more to like fade in / out depending on how close you are to the wall but that's a "deciding t...

I Wrote This Technique Thingy While Being Really Tired lmao

Thu, 11 Nov 2021 19:03:51 GMT

I'm quite tired but still am going to do a writeup on this anyways. If there's (a) part(s) that needs more clarification, do let me know. Today's bug was one of those little annoying bugs that appear...

Collapsing UI Code Into One Pipe

Tue, 09 Nov 2021 15:45:55 GMT

A while ago I wrote about how I made an entire pipeline to draw the skybox dragon fractal and still had one other pipe that was split into two for "ui elements" and text. I basically was thinking abou...

Audio Bug Fixed Mostly

Audio Bug Found?

Thu, 04 Nov 2021 18:04:03 GMT

Today I spent the first little bit of my time really making sure that I understood audio processing on computers. From what I gather, you basically legit (even thought I kinda mentioned this before bu...

Audio Issues Still

Tue, 02 Nov 2021 14:18:10 GMT

Unfortunately I didn't have as much time as i'd like today but I still tried to make it so all audio clips would attempt to render their max sample count per frame (800 samples if at 48000 samples per...

Audio Delay Bug Might Be Windows?

https://twitter.com/AndrewNReinke/status/1455232134658945032 here's a video to understand what i'm talking about. Basically, I am unsure if it's really my end on audio mixing anymore or not. See, I ad...

Water Grid And Dragon Curve ON GPU!

Sun, 31 Oct 2021 18:47:07 GMT

Before, I used to just sample some small region eg 1024 x 1024 out of a premade dragon curve texture that was larger eg 2048 x 2048. So I had written code that was "ok enough" to pull texel data from...

Moving Water Grid to GPU

Sat, 30 Oct 2021 18:50:31 GMT

I profiled the game again and figured out the next big culprit to the slow framerate(s) was the water grid and rightfully so. The reason why it was slow was that I had to check for each vertex the Y p...

Added New Audio Clips!

Fri, 29 Oct 2021 19:17:01 GMT

I'd reccomend that you just check out the Twitter thread to quickly get caught up to speed https://twitter.com/AndrewNReinke/status/1454126901115510784 Bottomline is now I added 3 new sound effects, a...

Tue, 26 Oct 2021 14:23:47 GMT

https://twitter.com/AndrewNReinke/status/1453003162751840260 I am a bit unsure exactly what the bug is beyond just having the texture array overwrite into invalid memory in this video. But, my current...

Matrix Math Killed Me Today

Mon, 25 Oct 2021 19:11:53 GMT

https://twitter.com/AndrewNReinke/status/1452708999527223296 One idea I had was to just take the normalized velocity vector and scale down / mul by some scalar which is magnitude but I am unsure on ho...

New Movement Audio

Sun, 24 Oct 2021 17:24:01 GMT

Today's build has two new things. A: I removed the water wave sound from the game as I think it was just annoying (like I suspicioned in yesterday's build). I don't know if any of ya'll thought it was...

New Water SFX That I Might Remove

Sat, 23 Oct 2021 18:45:50 GMT

With today's update, I not only added some new water sfx, but I also made it so the landing sfx is more proper in the sense that it lines up with what your brain would expect when the boat hits the wa...

Funni Audio Added >:]

Fri, 22 Oct 2021 18:17:58 GMT

Tue, 19 Oct 2021 14:26:36 GMT

Today I got another new piece of the game added which is the ability to pickup a collectable like item that gives you a score modifier for a couple of seconds. Most games that are games about making h...

I Forgot To Upload The Crash Log-able Build lol

Mon, 18 Oct 2021 12:51:17 GMT

I really should've had each build up to this point actually have the crash log inside it so that ya'lls can tell me whatever the log says (as it crashes and just writes out some info that'll tell me w...

No More Seizures!

Sun, 17 Oct 2021 18:11:24 GMT

Video for proof: https://twitter.com/AndrewNReinke/status/1449798342771232776 I knew for a while that the background gfx of Funmi was probably not so good for people's health but I didn't change it fo...

Code Generated Cylinder

Sat, 16 Oct 2021 18:39:39 GMT

Today I got the "mountain" mesh added. The reason for why I wanted this mesh was simply that the grid alone looked quite odd / not so professional I guess. I will say that with just the new mountain m...

Check Yo Stuff Before Doing Work

Fri, 15 Oct 2021 18:01:26 GMT

This is just me making a small update to say that I am adding a mesh around the grid to make it all look better instead of just having a grid that's literally floating in the air. So in other words, i...

Sun, 10 Oct 2021 19:04:47 GMT

Graphics Ramblings

Tue, 05 Oct 2021 14:40:16 GMT

So I need to make the graphics a lot better in this game. This is one reason why I think some people aren't so interested in playing the game in its current state unfortunately. At the same time, I do...

Scroll Fix & General Update

Mon, 04 Oct 2021 17:54:14 GMT

I quickly fixed a very tiny and simple bug which was that scroll wheel couldn't move the menu up and down but now it can! After that, I spent a lot of my time reading about graphic techniques since th...

Maybe Good Design Choice, Control Change, and Challenge Update

Sun, 03 Oct 2021 23:09:00 GMT

Ok so today I made a couple of changes that I think would fall under the "design" category so here it goes! I first and foremost made a change to how the keyboard controls work. Previously, the auto a...

Small Bug Fix

Sat, 02 Oct 2021 15:23:17 GMT

Fixed a small overlooked issue on my part with the new overwriting of challenges to prove that you cleared one or not. https://twitter.com/AndrewNReinke/status/1444318690707525634 Video would be best...

C / ++ Code Thought Process

Fri, 01 Oct 2021 18:17:06 GMT

Ok so from today the game now has objective(s). To be quite honest, I only added the singular "get over this amount of score" objective as of now because I am unsure what I will want in the future. Bu...

Premade Goals Are Maybe Bad?

Tue, 28 Sep 2021 14:37:06 GMT

So I have been intentionally avoiding adding the notion of "you do X to get some epic skin" kinda shit that I don't like about a lot of games these days. I love when you play a game and create your ow...

Weeeeee Bars

Mon, 27 Sep 2021 18:32:42 GMT

Aight so today I added a new piece to the game. What i'm talking about is the notion of "Weeeeee" bars. Before this update, there was a simple timer that just kept ticking and once you pressed the X b...

Challenge File Format

Sun, 26 Sep 2021 18:38:49 GMT

Aight, so I recently just added the challenge file format and I gotta say that it was not the hardest thing I have ever done. It was not so hard because I have actually wrote quite a few file formats,...

Editing and Adding Challenge(s) - Architecture

Sat, 25 Sep 2021 17:18:34 GMT

I am unsure how to exactly tag this post but I think it's more of a design type thing. There is a tech side that I want to write about which more or less came during the development up to this point...

New Main Menu Button Code

Fri, 24 Sep 2021 18:58:52 GMT

On god i'm not the best at ui code. So when I write some, it usually takes me a little bit to figure out the best way to write my code. As of now, i'm doing what most people refer to "immediate mode u...

Background Combo Display Improvement and smol bug fix

Thu, 23 Sep 2021 18:55:09 GMT

Buggy boi part: Sometimes when I was running the game to fill up the background combo buffer, I would be doing combos in a corner and randomly get stuck due to rotations not adding any sort of velocit...

Fix on yesterday's combo display build

Tue, 21 Sep 2021 14:52:10 GMT

Made the visual of the combo buffer in the background look the way I wanted and fixed the buffer bug that you might've encountered!!!...

Scoring System Visual Update

Mon, 20 Sep 2021 21:03:08 GMT

So the promised update is here finally! It took me like a day or two to get this fully working just due to me not really getting some of the 2d math for displaying the 2d graphics that are the combos...

Scoring system visuals

Sat, 18 Sep 2021 21:01:39 GMT

So I was thinking about how the current new score system allowed you, the player, to quite easily get high scores if you learned where the "link buffer" is. What I mean by this is that out of the stor...

New Score System Update

Fri, 17 Sep 2021 19:35:52 GMT

Did quite a huge change right now where I rewrote the scoring system. The reason why was that the old system was just based on if you had complete duplicate rotation values in some old buffer when com...

https://twitter.com/AndrewNReinke/status/1438489296965492741 for the video thread detailing the whole event :) Basically, the solution I decided upon was to simply do the two pass structure I had ment...

Big texture into small texture

Tue, 14 Sep 2021 15:04:15 GMT

Ummmmmmmm two things. First, this is maybe tech discussion? Itchio lists those as "decision and techniques reagrding the tools used to build the project" but I don't know if this technically means lik...

Update 0.0.2

Sun, 12 Sep 2021 18:31:54 GMT

I was play testing today and I realized that the boat's shape didn't really fully lend itself to the notion that you should (maybe) focus on one part of the boat while rotating around to make score. O...

Added the ability to change camera sensitivity

Sat, 11 Sep 2021 17:23:51 GMT

So I got thinking about how annoying the camera is to use so I added the ability to change the sensitivity of it :) It changes globally across the controller / keyboard so yea. Side note: If there's e...
