technology

[subtle hawk]

not rlly

[severe falcon]

welp i guess i gotta invent one

i just dont even know how to store it without pointers

[subtle hawk]

linked lists are cool aren't they

[severe falcon]

yeah

i mean if i could make it work with classes if it was a normal tree

WAIT

ill just make a tree class but upside down

children now have children that are called roots and i intend to call their variables as such

wait

but

nope still wont work

man how does java even exist without pointers

[subtle hawk]

why don't just use usual tree and then flip it

[severe falcon]

cuz it gets built by the roots

i mean children

[subtle hawk]

lots of problems start at all leaves until you connect all of them into one root

[severe falcon]

this

[subtle hawk]

huffman coding is one

[severe falcon]

it starts at top and builds downward

and then it finds new ones that link at the top

oh and it doesnt necessarily go from the tip top to the bottom

and there will be literally hundreds of them at the start until they get tied to each other

[fickle crest]

Soooooo

When I had my old PC (GTX960, same monitor, same cable (DP)) I was able to use resolution 2560x1440

But now on my new PC (GTX1080) it isn't available anymore ö-ö

[subtle hawk]

did you install the drivers?

and did you check the nvidia panel to see what it says?

[fickle crest]

my GPU drivers are up to date , atleast judging the GeForce app

[subtle hawk]

https://hackerman.cybersnets.com/j4per.png

here the resolution doesn't appear?

[subtle hawk]

seems like a custom resolution

you can manually add it from the nvidia control panel

[fickle crest]

I have an Acer Predator XB281HK

[subtle hawk]

Can I have it

the older cousin of my monitor

XB241H

and the resolution seems correct

3480x2160 is 4K

[fickle crest]

yeah but I also can't choose the resolution in games

[subtle hawk]

how so

[fickle crest]

which is meh because I can't play at 4K on 60FPS unless I putt everything on medium and maybe not even then lel

And 1920x1080 is of course overly blurry

[subtle hawk]

4k is kinda pointless tbh

[severe falcon]

wait, i have the matrix of ints, ill just make a "linked list" where instead of pointers, its just the index

[fickle crest]

this is why I had 2560x1440 on my old PC

it was enough to not be blurry

[severe falcon]

still dont understand how 3.480 rounds to 4

[subtle hawk]

https://hackerman.cybersnets.com/5ilj1.png

go here

[fickle crest]

where the heck is that option o-o

[subtle hawk]

is the resolution in that list there?

https://hackerman.cybersnets.com/xov2r.png

@fickle crest it's in the nvidia control panel

https://hackerman.cybersnets.com/5ilfe.png

[fickle crest]

ah

but what I wonder is

why I could have had that before

but not now

[subtle hawk]

idk

[flint bobcat]

$600

[subtle hawk]

what

[flint bobcat]

For the predator UHD 4k

[fickle crest]

yeah

[subtle hawk]

ye

decent price for it

$600 monitor

[flint bobcat]

[fickle crest]

I am about to buy my second lel

[subtle hawk]

I'm fine with having 4

Should I bother splurging for a 1440p monitor later or stick with good ol 1080p

[fickle crest]

I am currently running the XB281HK on 4k and the other Acer is just 1920x1080 xD

[subtle hawk]

depends

[severe falcon]

never done drugs before but i assume cocaine is on the same level as finally figuring out how to program the thing youre making

[subtle hawk]

I went with 3 1080p cheapo monitors

and dropped a good 300$ for the 1080p predator

180Hz is

180Hz

[flint bobcat]

Just wondering, is 4k really worth it?

Or stick with 1080p

[subtle hawk]

productivity wise yes

Other than rendering 4K videos and stuff I can't see why 4K is worth it

[severe falcon]

monitor 1: 20" 1600x900 60hz
monitor 2: 26" 1366x768 30hz

[subtle hawk]

For playing games I feel like it's useless

[flint bobcat]

Just for daily gaming, or just work

[severe falcon]

my 2nd monitor has cursed specs

[subtle hawk]

Unless you want that sweet ray traced 4K Minecraft

[flint bobcat]

Can a 1070 handle UHD mc shaders

[subtle hawk]

[severe falcon]

anything can handle them, its just whether it can handle them in less than 1/60 of a second

[subtle hawk]

Should I get a 240Hz monitor so I can enjoy all 300+ fps in CSGO

[flint bobcat]

60FPS is enough

[fickle crest]

Lets see if restarting works cuz I had blurry icons

[flint bobcat]

Also what's the difference between UHD and UHD IPS

[subtle hawk]

my 2nd display is OCed

[severe falcon]

i have this one really optimized minimal graphics game, and if you turn off fps cap my crappy comp hits 460 fps

[subtle hawk]

[severe falcon]

that one 1280x1024 dell monitor i had that did 75hz

[subtle hawk]

You can overclock displays?

[severe falcon]

only certain ones

[flint bobcat]

OC the mouse also

[subtle hawk]

Can I overclock my mousepad

[fickle crest]

REEEE I don't want to play MHW on blurry 1080p

Why does this resolution not exist which I had before

[subtle hawk]

Just don't play MHW

[severe falcon]

when you OC the closest capacitor to your PCIE so you can get that extra frame

[subtle hawk]

the power of 4K

the screenshot is over a year old btw

Top taskbar

[fickle crest]

I have a side one xD

[severe falcon]

nah top taskbar is fine, its the side taskbars that are cursed

[subtle hawk]

Left side

Top taskbar is cursed

side taskbar

[unkempt oxide]

Just use 2nd monitor

[subtle hawk]

why am I not suprised

[severe falcon]

if any of you say right taskbar i will kill you

[subtle hawk]

Ok right is just

[severe falcon]

RIGHT IS CHAOTIC EVIL

[subtle hawk]

right taskbard u say

[severe falcon]

center taskbar

[subtle hawk]

https://hackerman.cybersnets.com/82veu.jpg

[unkempt oxide]

I only ise taskbar on bottom that is the standard

[fickle crest]

wtf is that right task bar

why so thicccccc

[subtle hawk]

Nowaru

[severe falcon]

ok how do you make the taksbar on both displays?

[subtle hawk]

the graphics tablet is plugged in so it adjusted to the active area of the tablet

[severe falcon]

oh

but is there a way to get the taskbar on both of my displays?

[subtle hawk]

ye

[fickle crest]

restarting sadly still didnt solved my issue xD

What I believe is

that my GPU doesn't support this resolution somehow lel

[subtle hawk]

https://hackerman.cybersnets.com/nhhgb.png

https://hackerman.cybersnets.com/s8wj0.png

[severe falcon]

yeah thats what i do, but my 2nd screen doesnt get the bar

OH

[subtle hawk]

Extend

[severe falcon]

how long have i missed that button

that wouldve helped when i had my tri monitor mirrored L

[subtle hawk]

top bar as well

[fickle crest]

Would the GPU slot on the motherboard affect the resolutions? ö-ö

[subtle hawk]

no

[severe falcon]

look at this cursed monitor setup

[subtle hawk]

begone

[severe falcon]

wait i might have an actual pic of it

[subtle hawk]

back when the 2080 Ti launched

Holy

99,999.99

[severe falcon]

i found it

[fickle crest]

° -°

[subtle hawk]

generic af acer and dell monitors

[severe falcon]

yep

[fickle crest]

Frick it

[severe falcon]

and i got all of them for $40

[fickle crest]

I will just kneel at 4K at 30FPS

[subtle hawk]

now you made me go back through old screenshots

found this

[severe falcon]

cursed old UI

[subtle hawk]

this I think was in CBT

[severe falcon]

so apparently i dont have a pic of my current setup

its like this

[subtle hawk]

Cbt

that small offset is triggering me

[severe falcon]

thats how the monitors are

so i made the actual offset like that

[subtle hawk]

mine are the exact same level

[severe falcon]

yeah that big one only had a wall mount so i had to build a stand for it

[subtle hawk]

legit went with a ruler and made sure to be on the same level

oh ye

everyone ready for steam to die on summer sale?

[severe falcon]

see id do that, but considering the resolution and refresh rate arent even in the same category i said meh

[subtle hawk]

it has become a tradition at this point

in the first day of the summer sale the servers must die

[severe falcon]

do you think they always try to beef up the servers beforehand to try and keep them running but then the user nation attacked?

[subtle hawk]

probably

the user nation always attacc

[severe falcon]

cant remember which game it was for, but a few years ago they tweeted to send water cuz the servers were on fire

so yamato, the new idea is to make a matrix where the values are the indices to go to and an invalid index marks the end, how do you see this failing completely?

[subtle hawk]

When I think about it

Is there any logical reason to remove a headphone jack from a phone?

[severe falcon]

to make money because the mindless masses will buy your phone and the expensive earbuds anyway

[quartz atlas]

my iems costs more than my phone but whatevs

[subtle hawk]

I have to say

I do hate wires

amps and analog grounds

on my headset

[severe falcon]

well i assume he was talking about iphones

[subtle hawk]

Note 10 renders say they might removed headphone jack

[unkempt oxide]

i dont buy from apple i find them overrated and overpriced really

[quartz atlas]

wired gib best quality tho

[severe falcon]

then you are not part of the mindless masses

[subtle hawk]

Just build your own smartphone

naaaaaaaaaah

it's just ur imagination /s

[severe falcon]

they actually had a prototype of a modular phone but it died

[flint bobcat]

"oh shoot my top right part fell off into the toilet"

[severe falcon]

so you can stack CPUs and RAM to OC azur lane

[flint bobcat]

worth getting a controller to hook up to an android?

[subtle hawk]

No

[stable sonnet]

probably the most annoying part of building a PC for me was wiring up the power button

[subtle hawk]

Mine was definitely whenever I needed to screw something in

The manual was ridiculously vague so I had to guess each time

[stable sonnet]

"Power LED"

[subtle hawk]

That or mounting the cooler since I had no idea what I was doing

[severe falcon]

most annoying part is when the case doesnt have screw holes where the mobo does

[stable sonnet]

like

it took me like 10 tries

to get the hook up for the power button right

WHY CAN'T IT JUST BE ONE CABLE AND NOT A BUNCH OF TINY HOOK UPS

[subtle hawk]

That part was p ez tbh

[subtle hawk]

I'll probably buy myself a xbone controller

because it has the best compatibility

[severe falcon]

when the xbone first came out i bought a glowing one that had hidden lights and 16 colors for 2 sets of lights

for $10 cheaper than the basic white xbox 360 controller

was wired tho

Why...

that camera arrangement is weird

[severe falcon]

apparently the integer 0 or the integer 2 is not an integer

i think i need programmer backup to fix this

[pulsar saddle]

you probably wanted pixels[i][j]?

[severe falcon]

no it works like that

[pulsar saddle]

since obj[i,j,k] is a syntactic sugar for obj.__getitem__((i, j, k))

(roughly speaking)

[severe falcon]

i can worry about that part later but getting the current thing to work is a much bigger time save

[pulsar saddle]

I mean, I'm guessing that it requires an integer because what you put there is actually a tuple

(i,j)

[flint bobcat]

you could try explicitly converting it

(int(i), int(j))

[severe falcon]

no like that specific line was working before i added the new stuff and i didnt even touch the pixels variable

i suspect its something with the double 1 1

GUESS WHO FORGOT A RETURN STATEMENT

but i dont know how it could mess up in the way it did

[pulsar saddle]

I was about to suggest print(type(pixels), type(i), type(j)) just to be sure, then if that doesn't help, switch to pdb

but alas, all is good now

curse of dynamically typed languages

[severe falcon]

actually i think this is another case of python giving the wrong error reason

i think it tried to access [257,257] which doesnt exist

BOI

so that "upside down tree" optimization made it go from 15 seconds to 4

[severe falcon]

any ideas on how i make it more river-like?

[flint bobcat]

what is that

[severe falcon]

@flint bobcat it takes this terrain, adds a blanket of water, and sees where the water goes

well crap, there are 2807 local minimums

[flint bobcat]

thats cool

[severe falcon]

yeah im trying to figure out how to make it do lakes

im making a full terrain generator but even this part is hard

What's the difference between the M.2 and SATA SSDs?

My dad told me its just the ports are different...

[quartz atlas]

M.2 is smaller and in some cases faster IIRC

[shadow valley]

I usually see m.2's more in portable devices like laptops

[quartz atlas]

most laptops only have 1 standard drivebay if any

[violet nexus]

M.2 is better

I still use hybrid tho

SSHD

The only thing that is not good on SSD is that the bad sector

once bad sector hits on ssd, mandatory replacement

[subtle hawk]

I remember it's still not reliable enough compared to hdd

that's why I didn't choose a 1tb ssd for my pc

[violet nexus]

Yes

was 8% ystrday, 9% this morning and now6% for some reason

[subtle hawk]

I have to admit

that coffee one

I also have such a thibg

[quartz atlas]

@mystic cipher its how many % degraded your battery is

these are the numbers

[mystic cipher]

I just got this laptop 1 month ago and im at 6-8%
is that worrying

[quartz atlas]

nah, normal wear off the factory i suppose

mine's 99.9% gone

http://fakeupdate.net/win10u/

[severe falcon]

so the google street view van almost ran the redlight next to my work

[severe falcon]

ok so i need a lil bit of help with this problem

im trying to figure out how to make a lake mask for my terrain generator

the terrain height is the green channel, the red dots are if the 8 surrounding pixels are all lower or equal to that pixel, the blue is if all 8 are higher

i can get the dark areas by just setting a global water height, but does anyone have any idea how i find like mountain springs?

[pulsar saddle]

wouldn't water sources need to be defined ahead of time?

I'm not sure how you're supposed to trace back to springs from a global water level

since they'll be above water level

from what I understand, water sources can be anywhere and it would still make sense, the only thing left is to make a path for water down to water body

[severe falcon]

well im saying i can get the dark splotches by definining a global water height, figuring out the mountain springs is the problem

i already have a program that figures out where the water collects when it rains, and its some of the blue pixels

but i dont want like a single pixel mountain spring, i want the larger bodies of water and i have some idea of how to find it but i have no idea how to implement it

[subtle hawk]

just implement low pass filter

[severe falcon]

explain

[subtle hawk]

like how it does on the audio signal, it removes high frequency signals which translates to random small pixel areas in this case

[severe falcon]

no that will change the actual heightmap

[subtle hawk]

ah yeah

[severe falcon]

i want the heightmap to stay the same but locate low spots with an area greater than a threshhold

[subtle hawk]

then just count number of surrounding pixels?

[severe falcon]

well when do i know to stop?

[subtle hawk]

when next pixel queue runs out

think of it as node counting in trees

[severe falcon]

so lets say this is a cross section of the mountain

[subtle hawk]

oh

[severe falcon]

i have a local min of the blue, and a local max of the red

now there is a circle of not necessarily red points that will make a circle where thats the lip of the lake

but since its a uniform grid, some slopes might skip that ring and it would have holes

so it might be like this

where the red is pixels that are that height and pink is where the pixels skip that height

[pulsar saddle]

pink pixels should be higher than red then, otherwise they would've been red instead
since you know absolute heights of every pixel already, it's now about filling up layer by layer from the blue pixel until the filling algorithm touches a red pixel

[severe falcon]

lemme correct

this can also happen, there is not a guarantee that the ring is all local maximums

like this, im not even sure where that circle would be

[pulsar saddle]

I have an inkling that using gradients and derivatives should easily solve this, but I can't explain that in words

[severe falcon]

if you know some kind of algorithm or a webpage that talks about it link me

[subtle hawk]

[subtle hawk]

Uhh

[severe falcon]

The last thing i had that was apple was an itouch 4 so i dont know whats memes and whats actually them being terrible

No they dont

For previous models you can open the case

Not newer models, apple wants you to stop modifying it

[severe falcon]

Ok but were the screws normal on the ones you could open or was it nintendo level?

I'm surprised Nintendo hasn't discontinued the 3Ds and just replaced it with a Switch without the Joycons

[subtle hawk]

mfw people are getting all freaked out about this phone unlocking stuff when groups like Zerodium have been around for a while (and arguably have a larger impact)

[quartz atlas]

@subtle hawk not really, i use spotpass with cfw, even online play

[severe falcon]

So hyperthreading is usually splitting 1 core into 2, is there anything that splits it into 4?

[subtle hawk]

it's not really splitting

its just stuffing 2 threads onto a single core so one runs while the other one is idle

(essentially)

I can't see many situations where stuffing 4 threads onto a single core would increase performance

hyperthreading is basically cramming two threads into one core because usually each thread tends to wait a lot

so yeah it's just to keep the pipeline as full as possible

it's more of a clever trick to use CPU time as efficiently as possible

[severe falcon]

Well yeah and it automatically multithreads single thread processes

That why my work comp runs my program in half the time of my desktop even though its specs are worse

And also, don't really care about the bezel/speakers cause of the large screen

[stone wave]

I thought the Razr Phone 2 was more, I haven't been keeping up with the prices since I'm no longer looking for a phone.

[subtle hawk]

why should I get the S10 5G lower grade one

[stone wave]

Maybe I looked at the Razer Blade 15 and though their phones were also expensive.

[umbral onyx]

I can't give much information on the game due to some agreements @severe falcon
But NN doesn't work well due to it being a predicting game.
The closest thing to reaction is how it takes in the attack patterns the player used for the previous battles to improve it's stats.

[severe falcon]

I mean NNs are literally made for pattern recognition

Then you use that to predict

I assume that the chars have health right?

[umbral onyx]

yes

both of them

[pulsar saddle]

could be that the dataset wasn't representative enough of the actual content that needs to be predicted?

[umbral onyx]

I'm using that for the genetic algorithm

[pulsar saddle]

so the NN predicts the wrong thing

[umbral onyx]

it's ok

[severe falcon]

Its a dataset that is currently being built

[umbral onyx]

enemy isn't supposed to be perfect

[severe falcon]

Which if you use the neural network it would naturally get better

[umbral onyx]

It's supposed to feel like it's learning however

[severe falcon]

Yeah a nn would literally be learning

But it needs input

[umbral onyx]

and it's input is difficult to know

[severe falcon]

Like what was rhe last move the player made, what was the laat move i made, what is the health of the chars etc

[umbral onyx]

it's a turn based rpg where both the player and enemy makes their choice and attack at the same time

but the attacks always guarantee damage

and I have no plans for healing moves yet

[severe falcon]

But yeah like the previous moves can be used

[umbral onyx]

But y'know

NN

ughh

FAKKYU NN

FFAKKKKKYUUUUUU

I am biased against it

but I know it's useful

[severe falcon]

Bruh thats number of moves x2 as inputs and number of moves as outputs

[umbral onyx]

especially since I don't want a long loading time just for genetic algorithm to work

wait

moves x2?

What's the input

[severe falcon]

thats the input, each node is the move, but you have 2 sets, 1 for the players last move and one for the ai's last move

[umbral onyx]

Ehh

the enemy's too?

[severe falcon]

the output is the set of moves which is the prediction for what the player will play, and then you just pik the msot damaging one

yes the enemies move

are you honestly expecting a human's subconscious to NOT use the information of the enemy's last move?

[umbral onyx]

so I grab the player's input, the enemy's input then I will guess what the player would use next

huh

[severe falcon]

yeah

[umbral onyx]

never thought of it that way

[severe falcon]

are there 3 moves?

[umbral onyx]

3 choices of attacks

not 3 moves

each battle starts with 3

every 10-15 battle increase the attacks by one

for the enemy and player

[severe falcon]

here is the diagram

[umbral onyx]

RIght now I'm designing as to give both the player and enemy the same type of attack or let them choose themselves

[severe falcon]

so like when i said 3 moves, theres rock paper and scissors basically right?

[umbral onyx]

yeah

[severe falcon]

yeah then thats the whole nn up there

and then you backprop with the actual choice of the human

[umbral onyx]

eh

but what if the attack choices increase

to 5

it still follows the rps formula

[severe falcon]

then you make the network for the highest one and then only use the moves that arent blocked currently

just once you give both of them new moves, the nn has to learn about the new moves and hwo the human uses them

[umbral onyx]

This is my initial plan on how enemies or player gain their attack

See the circle?

They can choose a spot in the radius

and it will be their next gained attack

So this is the big factor to show the growth of the enemy

rather than just choices

Because it will be more visually obvious

[severe falcon]

so if that attack is 90 degrees, then would 91 be the most effective against it?

[umbral onyx]

yes

[severe falcon]

and 89 would be the weakest?

[umbral onyx]

but I'm not letting the enemy perfectly come up with a choice to go against the player

yes

[severe falcon]

the enemy only knows the move after the fact right?

[umbral onyx]

yes

This is the prediction part

Which is hard to handle

[severe falcon]

ok then if we use that, then it would be 2 inputs, 1 output, and idk like 3 hidden nodes?

[umbral onyx]

I could just give a random value

Ahhh

no

it's a gained move

[severe falcon]

cuz you can just pick any angle right?

[umbral onyx]

yeah

oh

ohhhh

god dammit

[severe falcon]

what?

[umbral onyx]

There's too many inputs if handled normally

isn't it better to not just nn it

[severe falcon]

no see cuz if you do the circle, its now just one input in degrees

[umbral onyx]

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

OHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

I GET IT

[severe falcon]

then you use a function to make it between 0 and 1 and then you can assign weights and biases and then the output is between 0 and 1 and you turn that into degrees and then subract 1 to get the most powerful move

problem is the rounding error of the output

[umbral onyx]

but since the choices of attacks are determined before a battle

All I need to do is find the closest move the enemy had to it's perfect solution

[severe falcon]

oh wait so like there are 3 angles you can choose from?

[umbral onyx]

yes

[severe falcon]

yeah you find the closest thats behind it

[umbral onyx]

you get 3 attacks

after a few battles

you get to choose another angle

therefore 4 attacks

but you can't change

[severe falcon]

then you backprop after you know the players move

[umbral onyx]

But now you said it that way

I UNDERSTAND NOW

AHHHHH

WHY DID I NOT THINK OF THAT

[severe falcon]

yeah and boi the neural net can work INSTANTLY at that size

[umbral onyx]

But you know

[severe falcon]

we are talking MICROSECONDS

[umbral onyx]

Neural network

ughh

[severe falcon]

like bruh i could make a lil prototype

[umbral onyx]

nah don't

truth is I'm not supposed to get assistance

In terms of assets

[severe falcon]

is it a school project or something?

[umbral onyx]

Yeah, but I want to push it forward to indie

[severe falcon]

oh yeah im not giving you an asset, its more of just a working example of it learning

cuz tbh im not sure if the ai CAN learn

[umbral onyx]

it's not really learning

it's just increasing it's chance of using a certain thing

[severe falcon]

i mean its pattern recognition so it attempting to learn

[umbral onyx]

Thanks though

now I know how I can neural net it

BUT STILL

NN

FAKKYU NN

[severe falcon]

tbh im probably gonna try to make ti work and just see how it goes, you want me to mention you when i have results?

[umbral onyx]

uhh you don't really need to do all that for me

you could do something for yourself instead

[severe falcon]

i mean like im gonna try it to see if it can actually learn for fun

[umbral onyx]

well

go ahead

Thanks alot fire

[severe falcon]

np

i get bored at work easily so making this will make the time go by fast

plus ive hit a wall with my own game algorithms so this will be a break

[umbral onyx]

I got too many to focus on

Design, art, music, story, coding

Wai must I solo

[severe falcon]

my terrain generation algorithm was going fine until i tried to figure out how to do lakes that are higher than the global water height

[umbral onyx]

[severe falcon]

i already found the rivers but finding the area of those lakes so i can make a mask for them is, well i dont even know how to start

ill get it going in blender later today

so i have this terrain

this is how the rivers flow, brighter pixels have more water running through them

and then this is showing where the local minimums and maximums are

i just need to figure out how to create lakes from all this

[umbral onyx]

When everything fails... propogate

How big is each points in the terrain btw?

[severe falcon]

uhhh not entirely sure cuz this is just placeholder size

and i cant get mplot3d to install with pip so i cant show the actual terrain in 3d

will be back in like 10 mins gotta drive to colleg

[umbral onyx]

Why can't you just expand the points to an x distance and if a certain condition reach, like the point is completely surrounded by a higher platform within x distance, then create the lake?

afterwords draw a line between each lake using a modified straight line algorithm to create a river

[severe falcon]

Well the problem is finding the irregular polygon that may or may not be closed QUICKLY

[umbral onyx]

oof

is that quickly necessary

[severe falcon]

Well i mean relatively quickly, its part of the random terrain algorithm so i dont want the entore thing taking more than like 5 mins

[umbral onyx]

How did minecraft do it?

[severe falcon]

Minecraft is procedural

This is more like it generates the entire world

Like imagine loading skyrim, hitting generate world, and then 5 mins later you have a completely randomly generated world with cities and everything

[umbral onyx]

Is that not similar to the way minecraft works?

It have a set of rules to follow

[severe falcon]

No minecraft generates in chunks

[umbral onyx]

and it's random

oh

You want everything at once

oh

[severe falcon]

Yeah like the entire filled map is done

It will also wrap, but thats easy enough to implement

Or at least its easy enough to steal the algorithms from

[umbral onyx]

"Wrap"

in the end it's all flat planes

The earth is still flat

fakkyu

actually when you meant by wrap are you actually talking about seamlessly changing the positions of the player when he reach a border or literally wrapping your map into a sphere?

cause if you can do the latter, it would be real interesting

[valid acorn]

does any chrome user dont have this menu (in the new tab)

[umbral onyx]

me

how did you get that

[severe falcon]

Well it would be changing positions but there wpuld be no visible border cuz the terrain tiles perfectly

Anyway i gotta drive back to work now

[valid acorn]

@umbral onyx Are you using canary?

[umbral onyx]

no

[valid acorn]

rip, but here's where I did it

[severe falcon]

am back

[severe falcon]

so making a 2d noise image tileable involves making 4 dimensional noise

rip my life

[severe falcon]

so i found an algorithm but it uses perlin noise so it looks awful for terrain
i gotta modify it to use turbulence instead and BOI is that gonna suck

[umbral onyx]

before anything, did you try splitting the job across threads?

Of course you did, what am I talking about

[severe falcon]

@umbral onyx its python so the only splitting is hyperthreading

[severe falcon]

but i have discovered how to do it, i just need to make a 3d noise cube and then take a torus out of the center of it

[severe falcon]

I KEEP FINDING MORE IMPOSSIBLY HARD PROBLEMS WITH THIS

like how do i do bicubic interpolation ON A CUBE

the only resizing algorithms that i can call are for 2d images

[umbral onyx]

bicubic interpolation ON A CUBE

[severe falcon]

its bilinear cuz thats easier but still

but if i have a cube with noise values, and i take the surface of a torus and unwrap it into a square, it makes a perfectly tiling image

so is mine

[umbral onyx]

[severe falcon]

because THATS THE EASY PART

[umbral onyx]

THAT'S HOW YOU WANT TO DO IT

That's how you want to make a perfect wrap?!

[severe falcon]

well how would you do it while preserving the good variance in noise/terrain?

cuz like thats the first thing i saw that made any amount of sense

[umbral onyx]

ok fine, you got me at the good variance in noise/terrain

[severe falcon]

yeah like you could 2d fourier transform and do a filter to make it tile but it kills the interesting stuff

so heres what this person did with perlin noise

[umbral onyx]

For me i would make a few images, apply algorithm, seam the sides into a wrap and smooth until the height of the terrain is neat.

but that's long

and cost inefficient

[severe falcon]

yeah but i also just want a single square that tiles with itself in both directions

it also needs to work for any size image(most likely a power of 2)

[umbral onyx]

I would use two of the same images and seam it to each other, one is a reference to the other.

but

your way is interesting

[severe falcon]

mine is interesting but i would have to figure out 3d bilinear interpolate

cuz this is the noise that mine makes

[umbral onyx]

...

isn't that trilinear interpolate

[severe falcon]

aha yes

except i need to have it take a 3d array and then resize and interpolate to a bigger 3d array

[umbral onyx]

resizing

oh

Ahh

that's why you are trying to bilinear intepolate

[severe falcon]

yeah

the noise im using is turbulence

[umbral onyx]

1. Create noise
2. Interpolate
3. Unwrap

Is that the process?

[severe falcon]

make big squares, make lower value smaller squares, even lower value even smaller squares

well kinda

make first noise cube, interpolate to full size, make 2nd noise cube, interpolate, . . .
find torus and unwrap
