the convex hulls are working now c:

here's a little guide!

bro really thought she could turn a closed perimeter path into a convex hull by recursively removing reflex points 🤣🤣🤣 (it's me I'm bro)

Caliban, for one, doesn’t really see things that way.

if there is computer, sometimes warm and comfortable !

a 45° rotation function for chebyshev normed space! I wanted to do this without relying on a bunch of if statements for checking quadrants and it works now c:

perfectionism is so often seen as a permissive ability to create or drive something towards perfection, but in reality, it's a crippling inability to let go of anything imperfect it's an obsession, it stagnates you, and gets you stuck on things you shouldn't be

I wish we had better names for these distance norms L1/Taxicab/Manhattan/Rectilinear csum(abs(v)) L2/Euclidean sqrt(dot(v,v)) L∞/Chebyshev/Maximum norm cmax(abs(v)) I want to call Chebyshev the square (shape) magnitude but square sounds too much like euclidean squared magnitude

scribbles from today

I was considering making a data type representing half-integers, to represent both grid cell centers and corners, and i realized that's what everyone's been talking about with fixed precision data types! what do people usually use as the origin in their (gameplay) grids? any pros/cons you found?

I've been saying this

My cat’s Patreon (daily pics of Heater to support my work and her vet bills) just hit 400 members everyone say good job Heater

AI companies emailing me "We saw you make videos about AI, wanna try our AI tools? :)" is such a self report I don't even know where to begin

one of the spookier things about chatGPT-likes is that these companies will have an unprecedented access to the very private concerns of people, at an unprecedented granularity, with an unprecedented ability to parse it, which is probably one of the most valuable things they have to sell

i am so tired of being sick and so sick of being tired. how has this virus stuck around for so long, it's been two weeks ;-; I was hoping it would know my self-worth is tied up with my creative output and let me go a little earlier

true and false should have the same number of letters imo

HUGE MINOR DISCOVERY you can just type 00 to make your numbers align AND maintain semantic directionality!!

I love it when making my art feels like playing with little toys 😂 Finished a pass at the Ferrari Livery and then pop it into an old scene going "nyoooooom"

you just need to get to know the cats in your neighborhood I've been stuck indoors sick these past few days, and I ran out of ibuprofen to manage my headaches but, I was catsitting for some neighbors last summer, and guess who helped me get meds the other day when I needed it the most ❤️

in one of those grid situations rn

I'm almost there it's so pretty!! 😭 this is the first time I've made extensive use of complex numbers in shader code, which has been fun! it's an analytic 2D lighting system through piecewise conformal maps representing angular light/"sky" exposure, which means you get fully analytic penumbras!

this is not how you lie on a bed sir

I underestimated the amount of vocal finesse required to even just talk to my cats 😭

i have neglected my still very sick body for hours and I have regrets, HOWEVER i believe i am cooking

you've heard of ℝ² you've heard of ℚ now get ready for ℚ²

i was curious if i could design analytical ambient occlusion for my tile based game but so far it's just been a *violently* effective math snipe

if giving up and letting AI corpo slop infest an entire creative medium is to "man up" then ig I'll continue to woman down this is a choice, just don't use it, it's literally that easy www.pcgamer.com/games/action...

dw about gumpy she's just looking at birds

when you really think about it videos are 8 dimensional

if only there was a way to explore tone and atmosphere in the early stages of production without using AI :(

talking on stream yesterday might've been a mistake because my sore throat has now been upgraded from [very coarse voice] to [literally cannot speak] if I *really* push it my throat emits a 50Hz mains hum in protest

it's like when people want me to open source my projects like yeah it would be cool but I have bills to pay and mouths to feed, these aren't side projects, they're the very things keeping me financially afloat

when you don't have creative people involved we can tell

not sure why gumpy is so often standing on two legs but it's adorable

okay so some people are saying I'm gonna get sued to oblivion if i release this on steam what are the boundaries here? I thought only the name tetris was off limits, but tetrominoes as a concept surely can't be?

DLSS 5 off DLSS 5 on

I was recording SFX for my prototype and @thor.acegikmo.com decided to purr some bass notes into the mic

Give me that

been feeling kinda stressed lately so I made a little prototype is this anything

converting qTurns to quatern(ion)s

is there a thicker soy sauce condiment? I feel like they're usually very runny and to be used while cooking rather than as a condiment i want like, ketchup thickness soy sauce

she took my bedroom

giggling by myself at 4am naming my integer variable for quarter-turn angles "qturn" like an off-brand quaternion

seasoned gamedevs imply the existence of italian gamedevs

?? there's acoustic pong now ?
