#PhysicsFactlet
If you sample N points uniformly on the unit sphere, take for each the halfway point to the north pole of the sphere, and then project is on the x-y plane, you obtain N points sampled uniformly on the unit disk.

(A request from @narain )
#Geometry #ComputerGraphicsTheory

Black and white visualization on N points on a sphere moving smoothly to their halfway point to the north pole and then being projected on the x-y plane.

A few of us at @tudelft3d wrote a book about the computational aspects of terrain modelling 🏔️

We're been using it, and improving it with the help of the students, for a few years in the DTM course at TUDelft.

And we think it's ready to be used by others (BSc or MSc).

It's open-access and there are YouTube videos for many of the chapters: https://tudelft3d.github.io/terrainbook/

(the LaTeX source is on GitHub, PR for errors/typos are very much welcome!)

curious about something. wanna see how big the #GameDev community on mastodon is. are you a game developer? plz boost for reach

EDIT: i cannot prescribe that anyone is a gamedev or in what capacity. if you don't self identify as a gamedev, vote no, if you self identify as a professional gamedev even if you're doing it alongside a dayjob, pick the professional category. there are no wrong answers

Ah yes, the familiar hike up a steep path to reach - a water plateau ???

I've still not managed to integrate water streams naturally into the terrain, let alone have paths cross them without artifacts. Eventually I'll place planks and bridges over the water, but clearly the terrain needs more work before that's even possible.

A video hiking up a steep mountain path, eventually reaching a plateau with a shallow slow stream of water that has somehow not found its way to fall out over the steep cliff right next to it.

if you've bought @lisyarus's game costa verde transport department and enjoyed it please leave a review, the game only needs 3 more to get to 10 which usually results in a boost in steam's algorithm

if you haven't seen it yet, it's a cozy traffic simulator which is here on steam: https://store.steampowered.com/app/2403100/Costa_Verde_Transport_Department/

original release post is here: https://mastodon.gamedev.place/@lisyarus/111330230597771207

My first ever Steam game - Costa Verde Transport Department, a cozy traffic simulator - is OUT ON STEAM RIGHT NOW!

https://store.steampowered.com/app/2403100/Costa_Verde_Transport_Department

Thanks to everyone for the enormous support. Many things went wrong during the development process, but at least I learnt a lot and managed to release a game :)

i couldn't find anything for recording pretty code that's also editable so i made my own thing in html. and yes, i added a custom thicc cursor so its easier to see

my games are on sale for the @itchio halloween sale! get em here: https://eniko.itch.io/

all sales at this point are basically funneled straight into #KitsuneTails development so by buying my other games you're directly supporting kitsune tails too

The final pre-release devlog of my Cozy Traffic Simulation game is out! Covering 4 months of progress, including 2 months of burnout >_>

Handmade Engine Survey

I'm doing another push before I start processing entries!

If you're someone working on your own engine to make your own game, I'd love to hear about it!

Been putting this off for a while but finally gonna do another tech stream. It's gonna be a shorter brain-dump about networking/replicating animation with some some prototypes in Esoterica.

Adding the last in-game sounds: cars passing by, with sound pitch depending on car speed & Doppler effect :)
Each car has its own sound stream, need to stress-test this to see if I need to optimize something.

My favourite art trick so far: cranking the hell out of saturation in shadows.

#gamedev #indiedev #screenshotsaturday

Camera slowly rotating around a long mountainous island in a stylized game world. A dramatic, saturated shadow is cast on one side of the island. It’s full of woods and cliffs. A player character with purple hair is standing on the cliffside.
