boring ass /newpol/-style DNPT's on /prog/! Code talks. I'm not here to think a non-programmers thought: If you advocate change I expect to see a patch, not 15 paragraphs of political drivel. icanbelievethisshit.png aintnobodygottimeforthat.gif
This is now a personal projects thread; what are you working on /prog/?
Me, I'm building a persistent virtual world populated by tamagotchis: If I can't find friends I'll code them up myself. The idea is to create an Age-of-empires like interface in which I can order my friends around and help them build a city to protect them from starvation / the elements. I'm using Go for the backend and SDL (through cgo) for the front, learning OpenGL as I go. The code for the network protocol is generated using awk from a very simple "protocol description". Ultimatly I'd love to integrate with the gocircuit so the world could scale in the cloud, but that's still a ways in the future.
i'm still quite low on game mechanics, focusing instead on my physics engine and a figuring out a proper way of abstracting the "properties" of entities and (inter)actions. game programming is far more involved than I had expected (dealing with time, synchronization, prioritization, flood control, ..)
