#gamedev progress

Prototype to write in books. I will have to refactor input handling. Currently I'm passing a big struct with the state of each key into the update function. This does not work well for typing.

#

#gamedev progress:

• added a lectern where books can be placed. This is intended to be a place where the player can write in books
• added a simple profiling system for frame times. The game started to fall below 60 FPS.

#

#gamedev progress:

• books are now filled with random text (placeholder)
• player can flip pages
• player can open and close the book

#

#gamedev progress:

First text rendered inside of a book!

#

#gamedev progress:

• reworked book model to fix issues with normals when book was opened
• refactored input handling from event based to having a big struct of the input state passed to the update function
• implemented the first interaction with the world. Books can now be picked up and placed back into shelves

#rust #dev

#

#gamedev progress:

• started working on text rendering
  • loading and rasterizing fonts using fontdue
  • packing rasterized characters into a single texture
  • creating quads to insert text line into 3D scene

#

#gamedev progress:

• Static geometry (walls, floor ceiling) is split up into smaller chunks to allow culling
  • Implementation: generated geometry is loaded into a BVH with a larger leaf size (256). The geometry of each leaf is converted to an entity.
  • Culling via distance to the player.
• Added player physics. No longer clipping through walls and shelves. Not stable enough yet.
• Reworked ray casting system to handle animated objects correctly.
• Player can now click on books to open them.

#

#gamedev progress:

• small refactoring of OcTree to simply change the intersection test function during construction. This allows to choose between accurate or fast functions.
• OcTree is working now. Only included the static geometry at the moment. Can now ray cast into the scene.

#

#gamedev progress:

• currently working on an OcTree implementation
• implemented GJK Algorithm for collision detection.
  • AlexanderFabisch/distance3d was a great reference. I had some missing details which lead to infinite loops.

#rust #octree

#

#gamedev progress:

• reworked animation system to allow drawing instanced animated objects
• each instance has an animation time
• animation matrices are generated as frames

The normals of the animated mesh still look wrong. Not yet sure why.
