'diploma-mode' is obviously still engaged :P new version up.

i'll try to work on making them a bit more usable (for my own comfort, too). but you know how it is when something finally works and wants out ;) ... also: 'release early, release often' is a nice thing to do.

hey kjell, thanks for reminding me - of course, for an inverse rotation, the multiplication order had to reversed, too. fixed above & working now :D yes, collision with bullets was mostly the intention. though for my means, this would already qualify as the 'fine' pass ;) i have no intentions (a...

hi, i'm used to inputting values with the number keys on my large keyboard; but the only punctuation on the number-keypad is the comma (,) which ZGE does not allow as a floating point in the property editor (log reports 'not a float value'). it'd be nice if it would :) i really don't know how much o...

written pretty straightforward after this article, using kjells matrix library.

use space to randomize the boxes.

edit 2010-02-03a: now works for rotated boxes, too.
edit 2010-02-03b: now works for multiple boxes & rays.
edit 2010-03-11: refactored for usability.

Happy Birthday! Let's keep it rolling just like the cake :)

A BitmapExpression for simple n-sided filled Polygons, with anti-aliasing, for square bitmaps: // bitmap variables int width = 128; float aawidth = 2; // algo variables int sprockets = 7; int centeroffset = 1; // default color this.pixel.r = 1; this.Pixel.g = 1; this.pixel.b = 1; this.Pixel.A = 0; /...

Hey there, it took some time, but here it goes: my real name is Philipp Dikmann , I was born 1983 in Germany and still live here, in the Ruhr Area. I literally just (2 days ago) finished my Diploma in graphic design :D Other interests are (computer game) programming (of course), electronics & el...

nice progress!

hey, that's what i'm doing, too! our icons will have to enter the thunderdome! ;)

kjell: i was tempted to link this earlier, but that last graphic is hitting the spot :) - edward tufte on the topic of sparklines. there are other interesting bits on tufte's site, too; some practices are questionable, though, so it's a good idea to trust your own viewing habits for guidance.

cool, thanks for sharing!

hmmm, the 'Group' component is really mostly used to introduce a (functionally neutral) order/hierarchy into otherwise non-hierarchical collections (the Content-tree mostly ;)) ... i think it would be nice to get the option of having it counted; it could tell a lot about programming style. regarding...

:D

this might also be a useful tool to remind us of scarcely-used components we might have forgotten about ;)

good idea!

how about:

- depth of parent/child hierarchy (min/max/avg), maybe different counts for functional & render trees?

also - wip of course, but - layout:
(please ignore text flip; the idea is to align the bar to the corresponding component)

hi, i recently remembered that zge sports a library from which you can add useful templates. it currently contains a number of awesome meshes & two bitmaps; i was thinking about adding more things from the 'tips & tricks' section of the board (and already started doing so), especially reoccu...
