Daddy needs a new pair of RAM!
edit: the fps are way better in smaller terminal windows with lower character count but then it's hard to make out the dice. D:
edit2: code here (expires in 2 weeks)
AI killed like 10 whales for this.
this is fucking CONTENT, baby!!! Great work, honestly great code. This is an achievement.
One of my favourite things in the entire world is what I call "high effort shitposts". Running DOOM on absurd devices like pregnancy tests is the archetypical example I use when explaining this.
Well, congrats, because this is absurd enough that this makes the list too. You are ridiculous and delightful, and I am glad that you exist to create impressive horrors like this.
Thank you so much! I love high effort shitposts too!
And if you liked that, you're going to love this: A while ago I also wrote a 3d renderer from scratch inside the picotron, an emulated fantasy console that never existed, to display a 3d model of a pudu.
I have a few more of these you might appreciate, non 3d related.
Do you think God stays in heaven because he too lives in fear of what he's created?
God comes over
creates some bullshit
stays in heaven
refuses to elaborate
I think I might love you

Get this on the berg I wanna render my dice rolls over SSH stat
psst... here ya go
When I opened the code I immediately scrolled to the bottom to see how many lines, and hell yeah. I read through it and I'm horrified, but I'm even more horrified it works. This is truly an chievement
Here it is running over SSH https://files.catbox.moe/qkwd4q.mp4 what more could I ask for, thank you for making this insane thing and sharing it!
holy shit, I'm so flattered! Thank you for your kind support and encouragement!
It's crazy that it looks okaish right? quaternions, dude. I have implemented them in 3 projects and still have no fucking idea how they work.
Also, you can run it in --quality low if you're struggling with framerate. :)
It's insane how many features this has for being insane in of itself!
Edit: that was running on anemic "1 core" (1 very shared core) VPS, bumping it up to 4, hooboy do those dice fly
lol but it's not finished and everyone will see how stupid my code (and brain) is D:
It's bash. Everyone is expecting nightmare code, and that's why it's fun!
Cut yourself some slack. These days, most people would have just pasted LLM outputs
My suggestion is do it. Its a cool project, and clearly there is interest from others who could contribute to the project by suggestions, bug fixing, or general collaboration, helping you learn. Just add some kind of disclaimer in the project that its not ready yet, and that youre still learning and it should be fine.
I hope you change your mind.
Most people care about features, not the implementation.
Those who dislike your code are probably going to generally dislike others’ code anyways, so in a sense they don’t even need to see your code to already disapprove of it 🤷♀️
I'm curious why it seems the time slows down at the end compared to reality? Because more computation is needed to check if it's a stable state?
the final resolution stage was a huge headache and as you can see, one I didn't fully solve. Basically when the dice finally settle, particularly those with more sides, lots and lots of micro collisions happen in close sequence, each one having to apply friction and bounce back. As velocities come close to be rounded to 0, the bounce back effect and force of gravity no longer provide movement, but the final angle of the bottom face may not be fully settled on the floor. So basically if i don't ignore all these tiny collisions I get the frame rate drop you see and if I do, I can arrive at not fully settled states which can become ambiguous result-wise in, say, the 20-sided die.
@Pudutr0n@lemmy.world - You are certifiably insane. There are a million more effective ways to achieve this, with less resources... I LOVE IT.
This is exactly the kind of flattery that truly touches my heart. <3
Are you often described as a masochist?
It looks neat. I can't imagine wanting to write it in bash, though, heh.
XD I am! And it was a complete nightmare. hahaha
I just woke up and this is the first thing I see. Did I really woke up?
Absolutely insane. Part of me wants to see the source code, but part of me is terrified of how complex it must be. Plus I've only been writing bash for 20 years, so it would probably look incomprehensible to me.
(hopefully) Constructive critique:
Thanks! Yeah, there's definitely A LOT of room for improvement. collisions are handled per vertex, but torque is applied to angular impulse to the dice as a whole (like a ball I guess). The settling is a huge issue, yes. the visual glitches I've been trying to get rid of but man... fix one and then another one pops up in a different case. Thanks for your critique. :)
Haha nice! How long did it take you? Integer-only math?
Jebus I don't even know how long I've been working on this. It started out as a way to teach myself bash, combined with my long obsession with rendering platonic solids. I previously coded a huge galaxy of hundreds of thousands of polyhedra you could fly across in python with opengl shaders and got to reuse/translate a lot of that code. The quaternion stuff I was grateful to not have to rethink that much again. haha. And yes, integer-only! Some params are "floating point" but i just parse them and add a bunch of zeroes so i can later do all the operations with equally blown up values of pi and trig stuff from "lookup tables" (case matching).
I'm viewing this thread in Lemmy and am unable to find any mention of a link to the source code or a demo, and I can't see the attached media (genetic image icon - is it an animated gif or a video?).
Based on all the comments, I appear to be in the [significant] minority. Would you mind posting a link to your source or demo or image/video?
I haven't shared the source code yet because criticism is terrifying and I'm a horrible coder, but with the encouragement of the the community I might give it a shot. I don't even have a codeberg account yet though.
The post contains these two video links: https://files.catbox.moe/8rz9m7.mp4 https://files.catbox.moe/5d3n2k.mp4
If you still can't see them, maybe you can suggest a different hosting service, one that works for you? Or if you really really want the source code I suppose I could send it by DM on the meantime.
There are millions of professional coders who couldn't do what you did there.
