Pixel Events

[Port]

Characters in fonts will be represented by an arrange of 1's and 0's and will be put in a subfolder under config/server/PixelEvents/fonts/.

Code: (M.txt) [Select]

1 0 0 0 1
1 1 0 1 1
1 0 1 0 1
1 0 0 0 1
1 0 0 0 1

lol, this is pretty much exactly what my "computer mod" did except there weren't any spaces between the points

so literally a bitmap? can these be loaded ingame at runtime?

could one theoretically code a monitor with gui utilizing bitmapping to run ingame?


even if not clickable, it would be very nice as a server monitor in an admin room

If I figure out how to read bitmaps, but otherwise I am unsure how.

Yes, though it would be low resolution due to the engine's limitations.
I may test a higher resolution version and see how it handles.

On an average computer, anything above 100x100 "screen pixels" would drop you under 6 fps instantly.

How well does, say, 8x8 or 32x32 handle? Those are okay 'resolutions'

That would be fine. The resolution of a screen is 5* the x-y size of a brick and 2* the height. So turning a 1x12x5 brick into a screen would have a resolution of 60*30.

You may want to look into some kind of distributed pixel updating system, since just updating all pixels at once will make everyone start ghosting for a bit unless you're using a ridiculously small resolution.

Surprisingly node color changes don't result in ghosting. They're really low priority.

Try that with 50*50 static shapes each changing their color at once.

Wow that's pretty neat.

Just got Pixel_Hide and Pixel_Unhide working. Just need to finish Pixel_Save, Pixel_Load, and Pixel_LoadTemp.

This isn't dead yet.

This add-on would be epic for people with skill. ( I'm not one of them :| )
