@eniko What a great explanation! I've wanted to learn 3D graphics and perspective for a while. I followed along in #pygame, and look at that - it's practically DOOM.

@jcgraybill that's a great result! :D stoked to see it

@eniko ...some very clunky surfaces and collision detection, and it feels kinda legit. Thanks for some coding fun.

@jcgraybill that's a really cool result, thanks for sharing

@eniko Okay, one last update then I'll probably stop posting the blow-by-blow here. I'm loving that by piling little hacks on top of each other, this feels more and more like a thing. Mouselook, a mini-map, and colors for shapes... and now it's a little room you can walk around! In #python of all things, lol. I stuck the code here, and may continue to faff with it over the next few days. https://github.com/jcgraybill/pygame_2.5d

my video on making a 3D engine with minimal math went into 5 digits views 🥳🎉

eniko, 5 months ago

in case anyone is wondering im earning no money off these views because YouTube is ridulous 🙃

@eniko makes sense that more and more creators leave YT

@eniko you could try to release parts of your videos as shorts, i don't like them, but I heard they can get viral pretty fast (maybe only for already big creators idk)

eniko, 5 months ago

@joshix shorts actually require 3 million views in the preceding year so... XD

@eniko wait you need to upload 1 video per month on avg to be monetizable?

eniko, 5 months ago

@oblomov i think only until you hit partner, but yes

which is ridiculous when some of the biggest YT channels upload like one video a year

eniko, 5 months ago

btw i just wanna highlight the fact the video ID has "Gay" in it. YT, it knows 👀

rotopenguin, 5 months ago

@eniko okay, how may times did you post, delete, re-post to get that?

eniko, 5 months ago

@rotopenguin posted it once and it just happened. it's a christmas miracle :D

@eniko very cool video. You did an excellent job of explaining things in detail without getting so complex as to loose people in the details. Very, very nice learning resource. Bravo! :chefskiss:

@carbontwelve thank you! :D

@karadoc glad people liked that little reference :D

@eniko Congratulations and thank you for getting this video created. I know how huge of a task it is to get a video like this edited together so huge props for getting it done. The video is fantastic and super approachable.

eniko, 5 months ago

@MBoffin thank you for the kind words :3

@eniko Even as someone who -does- know math, this is a great video for mentally applying that math to the concepts of "screens" and "perspective".

Many "how did I not think of that" moments, as someone who's never implemented this stuff from scratch before. Thanks for making this! <3

eniko, 5 months ago

@mvu thank you!

@eniko could you also put this on a fedi-compliant platform like peertube
