If your transformations are completely fucked up and you can't figure out why, try multiplying them in reverse order and see if it fixes it. I have to do this EVERYTIME I'm setting up some matrices because my brain is just not able to visualize all this shit at once. Yeah.. and then you start doing...

It's also worth noting that, depending on how you're storing it in memory, you may need to transpose this matrix when you send it to the shader via uniform. Why would I need to change it? Does GLM not use the same standard for matrices? There's some discussion here about the common confusion: http:...

We have a semi-official ES Discord channel, though the majority of fans are using Skype to communicate w/ Falco & team.

I also just realized I accidentally posted the orthographic matrix on my first post. I didn't realize that page was showing both. It has been edited to properly reflect a perspective projection matrix. It's also worth noting that, depending on how you're storing it in memory, you may need to transpo...

Which survey are you referring to?

Yeah my tile engine is setup to accept any size, but at 32x32 things seem too small. If you don't mind me asking what size does ES use for tiles and say the Julian sprite ? Based on what I've seen, I'd say 64 x 32 for the sprite and possible 64 x 64 for tiles, but that's just guessing. The characte...

Cool! Thanks for sharing your progress. It looks like you're getting through this pretty quick, nice work!

99% of 2D tile engines use 16x16 or 32x32 pixel tiles (or a combination of both). The reason you would combine them is if you want to apply smaller details on top of your larger base tiles. Historically, powers of 2 were necessary for byte-alignment and make it convenient to take advantage hardware-...

I beat The Witness a few days after it came out. Absolutely brilliant puzzle game. Love the mechanics, love the graphics. It doesn't really have a story (rather just thought-provoking words and sights), but it's a puzzle game so I didn't particularly care about a puzzling story, if you will. :P

I've convinced everyone it makes more sense to work at home right now, which has diffused tensions a lot. If it takes effort to contact me, it doesn't happen constantly lol. One more word of advice: be careful with this mindset. It's good to get away and cool off, but I can tell you from experience...

Have you considered getting a job?

Should I have not tried making my own projection matrix? Should I have just used the GL math functions? I'm beginning to think that would be wiser. While deriving the projection matrix mathematically is somewhat difficult, defining your own projection matrix isn't all that hard. The full derivation...

I can't fix your subscription problem, but here's a list of preview links for all of the issues during the subscription period (and some before / after): Issue 38 Jun 2014 https://www.joomag.com/mag/0165534001401633201 Issue 39 Jul 2014 https://www.joomag.com/mag/0601374001404307965 Issue 40 Aug 201...

vmrob's response hits the nail directly on the head. All of my experience points to exactly the same conclusions. Couldn't have said it better myself. The only thing I would have worded differently is "Choose your battles". Rather than thinking of your coworkers doing something incorrectly...

What if I look at someone else's code? I remember almost a year ago I visited a website where people share their projects in the language they are native at. Can't remember the website.. Or what if I participate in open source projects? I have no idea how that works, what is required and what to do...
