Tests and rambling

So Michael Tanczos tells us premium members that we get a little webspace on top of the developer's journals too. How cool is that, I ask you? Here's a little test to show you something I did yesterday, courtesy of my new webspace:



No, I'm not telling you why it was important to me to be able to render a 2D sprite so it cast proper shadows, reflected properly, etc. I had a crazy time trying to get that texture to behave (it's just one quad with a decal, not a grid of squares). The reason I did that will become apparent much later in time. [smile] The two images I posted in past entries are now using the GDNet webspace instead of Photobucket ... thanks to the Tancz'!

I also started a small PHP/MySQL-driven website as I said. Most of yesterday was spent watching Fahrenheit 9/11 and Spider-Man 2 though. F911 didn't tell me much I didn't already know; thanks to Mithrandir's threads in the Lounge most of that was old news to me. [wink] Spider-Man 2 was great though.

Finally, click here to check out a kick-ass 3D fighting game made with Allegro and OpenGL. I didn't even know about this game until yesterday but it looks awesome, especially for a two-man project. You must try it.

Looks nice.

Shadow on the cube seems a bit odd, though. Big shadow heading off to the left, suggesting a light off the right corner of the pic, but the right-facing cube face is dark.

BTW, what on earth is this spinning icon-thing punctuating this message? It looks like a fork, but I'm not sure.

But not black, which it would be with no light on it. [wink] OTOH, the side on the left has two lights on it.

And the spinning thing is an ankh.

The picture is really cool! I wonder what purpose it can serve but it looks really neato :)

I did that for a very specific reason but I won't say what yet. [cool]
