Off Topic / math smart guys help me out: finding if point is inside polyhedron
« on: March 31, 2018, 02:07:51 PM »
im not good at math so i need help.

i got a polyhedron (probably a circle, or a cone or something) and i want to check if a 3d point is inside that shape.


how do i find if a line intersects a 3d face? im going to use that and see if a vector cast from the 3d point intersects a certain number of faces of the polyhedron, to check if its inside. but i dont know how to calculate if a line intersects a 3d face.

some smart math people help me. please explain it in math formulas and expressions and stuff and give variables descriptive names other than A or B

Off Topic / help me decide what game to make

Hi I know this could technically belong in games or creativity but idc this thread gets more traffic
If you don't know what isometric turn based strategy game.es are, check out

Xcom
Invisible inc
advance wars

I just finished a basic isometric turn based engine today that supports movement, abilities, complex ai, map generation. I want to move forward with a prototype tomorrow but I'm blank on ideas mostly and I don't want to spend a week designing an unfeasible prototype just to cut the content entirely and design a totally different strategy game. Anyways here's my idea

Shadow turn based game
A roguelike dungeon crawler with horror theme elements inspired by games like silent hill. You control a small squad that must reach the end of a non-linaer generated map with tight corridors and rooms. Utilizes an intense fog of war system with limited visibility and field of view. Enemy ai is designed specifically to take advantage of the lack of visibility. Some enemies will stick to shadows and try to flank isolated players, or might sit and wait in choke points for you to get close, etc. Items like flashlights help you gather more information on your surroundings and enemy telegraphs

Anyways I'm looking for unique ideas on general game concepts. I'd ask destroyerofblocks but he's offline so yeah. If you have an idea try to explain it and the various motions players and enemies go through in terms of the mechanics

Modification Help / Server client architecture
« on: March 19, 2018, 04:12:29 PM »
Hi I'm trying to make sense of how server and client connections work in blockland. I'm trying to design one from the ground up for a school project and I wanted to understand what information is sent through packets exactly and how blockland utilizes it

When working with a non-local client, does the server send every object in the game over in a packet and the client renders every object? Is the packet a full stream or does it contain append Information, like, If an object hasnt changed in any way, is it ommitted from the packet, or if it's deleted, is it removed entirely from the packet or does the packet contain information telling the client to delete that object on their renderer?

Also what general formats are packets sent as?

Off Topic / [News] Muslims in sweden want to shoot jews

https://www.nytimes.com/2017/12/10/world/europe/sweden-synagogue-molotov-roostertail.html

And here we take a journey into the no-go zones of Sweden, where terrorists are born and raised. Crowds of migrants have been chanting that they want to shoot jews. Even some decided to throw firebombs at jewish churches. Its almost like 1936 germany, but nobody is doing anything about it. Why?

This is clearly muslim national socialistsm, but nobody is condemning it. More reason to let the no go zones burn themselves down

Drama / The_Final_Walrus - no criticism allowed, dox threat maybe?
« on: June 17, 2017, 02:34:27 PM »
Today I encountered a man who wasn't receptive to criticism at all. He banned people for giving criticism on how his server could be improved. It was an okay server, with bad weapons, some balance issues, and a map comprised purely of 2x1 bricks. The server itself is okay, but i can't say the same for the host.

I'm perry24k btw, please excuse me bitching about guns in the first image










The last image concerns me a little bit because it seems to be somewhat of a threat. Either way, i tried to offer some constructive criticism halfway through and he apparently doesn't want to improve his server at all.
