RE: World Editor for Ray Traced game.
Heh, thanks. For the moody music, I'm already covered though. I took a license for a rendition of Georg Friedrich Händel's Sarabande. So full of emotion. Here's the version from Barry Lyndon:

RE: World Editor for Ray Traced game.
Thanks. Hard to say when it's done. I still have to figure out the game-play. For a while I thought I would make it a game with a narrative. Tell a story in a dark and scary world. But I am no longer convinced

Homesteading is great, and we've been doing it for 12018 years now, approximately :-)

RE: Hello Steemit, from a game developer
With all due respect, I see no explanation on why utopian.io asks for these permissions. Neither the utopia.io site, nor your reply gives a rationale for requesting these permissions.

RE: Hello Steemit, from a game developer
Hi rohan, I just published a tutorial on how to make a Snake game in Python. Check it out. I think it's an excellent way to get started.

RE: Steering Game Objects with P.I.D. Control
You actually gave me an idea. I learned to program on a micro computer in the early 80s, which was a much lower threshold for learning to code. You plug the computer in the wall, and you see the prompt

RE: Steering Game Objects with P.I.D. Control
Happy to help. For a gentle introduction that is easier than unity, I would first attempt something really simple, maybe a snake game (or pong) in Python e.g.

RE: Steering Game Objects with P.I.D. Control
Indeed. In it's simplest form, a 2D game that is moving a green pixel from left to right on the screen would clear the screen and then set the colour of pixel (x,y) to green and vary x from 0 to Max (and

RE: Emergent AI
Quite so! It would indeed buy the lumber if I had set up the test world with lumber available at the 'shop' location. And I learned a new term: failing forward :-)

Hi poet, GPGOAP is an implementation of GOAP by Jeff Orkin. This in turn, is based on MIT's STRIPS planner. The README.md on my GPGOAP page walks through the mechanisms of how the planner works. My

Looks great, woody. I love radial engines on a motorbike. Here's one mounted in a different way.

RE: Hello Steemit, from a game developer
So I am confused. Before using utopian.io I have to give it all sorts of privileges over my steemit account? I don't want others to have the right to vote/comment/delete for me.

Axel F is amazing, and Crazy Frog's version is fun too. Interesting fact: the video you posted is the censored version! In Holland, they used the original where Frog has a genital. I guess they had to

I don't think I ever played pure business sims. But there is a business component in Transport Tycoon, which I loved. The last sim game I spent a lot of time in, is Factorio, dangerously addictive game

Thanks, I had not heard of this before, but it sure is an interesting concept. I may try it out, if there is a good match.

Hi, I use an Open Sourced modeller called Wings3D. It's a truly amazing tool. So easy to pick up, the basics are simple, yet it is very powerful. It lets you do all sorts of operations on either vertices,

RE: Sup Steemit! Greetings from the Artlaw the animator, past Pixar intern, current student of animation
Cool name indeed, Artlaw :-) Sounds like a fun carreer. How long does it take to render a single frame at movie resolution? Does your University use Blender in its courses, or is it all Maya?
