Some nice shadow filtering and proper transparency goes a long way to polish

Greetings everyone! ✌️

Here's another one update of "Dima wants crisps 🍟".

I have add spruces! 🌲🌲🌲😁 (if it say shortly)

Dima wants crisps 🍟 v0.8.0

Hi folks! ✌️

Here's an update of "Dima wants crisps 🍟" 👇

https://fediverse.tv/w/ei1PuN1aQVZULqNc11UXta 🎬

I've made a view from the first person, have move the background of the game to the back, so it doesn't touches in-game objects, such as grounds anymore, have put a magic stuff to the player's hand 🧙‍♂️, and now the game use Tiled (https://www.mapeditor.org/) for a maps' creation.

Have a good day! 😜✌️

In the last post I introduced the "dual complement" idea for polyhedral graphs. I'm not sure if it has any mathematical significance, but I've made a fun discovery: the dual complement of a spanning tree is another spanning tree.

This result is rather intuitive and I don't have a rigorous proof for it yet, but here are the main supporting ideas. First, a spanning tree over v1 vertices has v1 - 1 edges. We can then show, using basic duality relations and Euler's polyhedral formula, that the dual complement has v2 - 1 edges that connect all of its v2 vertices. The complement doesn't have any cycles, since those would "capture" parts of the original graph, which we know is a single component.

The original polyhedron here is a {3,5+}_2,1 geodesic, so the dual is a Goldberg polyhedron.

No AI, no apps, just my original Python + OpenGL code.

Desperate about the über-bug in #NLE #Lightworks which apparently nobody suffers from but me on #UbuntuStudio #Linux 24.04 I even posted on #Reddit, after the #LWKS forum not having a clue and the developers all remaining silent…

It's perhaps something with #OpenGL / #MESA. I get this message in Logs when it occurs:

GLXOpenGLContext::makeCurrent() : Current context not NULL

If I set

LIBGL_NO_DRAWARRAYS= true

I have no video display, so all video display areas in #LWKS are using OpenGL.

Nobody knows no nothing about it. It's just me, the double weirdo, because 1) who does professional video editing on Linux anyways and 2) who does not use #DavinciResolve anyways?

So this is one way the bug may look like: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0brnx09AP5Y

Independent of the actual footage, and also independent of the GPU (I switched from AMD to Nvidia…)

I need to restart LWKS to make it go away. Sometimes I restart like 40 times an hour.

Any ideas are welcome, #fedihelp.

Back in the day, I made a couple of demos where a Hamiltonian path is carved out on a polyhedron. Looking back, I started to wonder about the shape left around the path, and what it means in terms of graph theory. I call this shape the "dual complement" of the path.

The dual of a polyhedron is essentially the result of turning faces into vertices and vice versa. This is shown in the first clip with a snub dodecahedron and its dual, the pentagonal hexecontahedron; to keep the view cleaner, I'm only showing the edges of one at a time.

The duality transformation also affects the edges, but their number remains the same, and there's a 1:1 mapping between the original and dual edges. Each dual edge "cuts through" the original. To make the dual complement of a path, I remove the dual counterpart of each edge in the path, leaving only the stuff on the sides. It's like driving a snow plough along the path, leaving walls of snow on the sides.

For the final view, I combine original Hamiltonian paths with their dual complements.

And another one new! 📰

I've rename "Dima stand 🧍‍♂️" on "Dima wants crisps 🍟".

And now this means that Dima now hasn't a plan to stands only 🙂. He also want now to walk, jump, and do more actions! 😎

The repository now available by this new link 👉 https://codeberg.org/xolatgames/Dima-wants-crisps
