#1 Re: Script Submission » ds_grid_set_grid_disk() » 2013-09-25 17:11:29

The scripts seem a little inefficient to me. The dx and dy can be rounded, so that you do not need to round later. But there is no need to use ii and jj in the loops. Instead, you can adapt x0,x1,y0,y1 such that i + dx and j + dy are always within the destination. The use of a grid copy seems unnecessary, because it is not modified, so that the source can be used directly.

For numerical grids, things can be done more efficiently. For instance, setting can be done by first multiplying the mask by source, next multiplying the destination by the anti-mask, and at last adding the multiplied mask to the destination.

Although operations with both strings and numbers do not seem to work with grids, you can multiply a number by a string to get the string repeated. Now that you are looping anyway, it is an option to use * instead of ds_grid_multiply, so that string grids can be multiplied by numerical grids at some disk.

#2 Re: Script Alumni » exp_dist(x) » 2013-08-23 20:55:56

On http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exponential_distribution, I read that the exponential distribution gives numbers from 0 to infinity in any case, i.e. the distribution is not bounded. Its  probability density function is r.exp(-rx), where r is the rate parameter.

For the cumulative distribution function, we have y = 1 - exp(-rx). This is equivalent to x = -ln(1-y)/r, so I would suggest to divide by argument0 instead of to multiply.

If you think about it, the larger the rate, the faster the density function goes to zero when x gets larger, the fewer values that exceed some bound. So it must indeed be a downscale.

EDIT: see also http://stackoverflow.com/questions/2106 … stribution. So the current form is used as well.

The modulus operand for the hue is indeed 255. 0 and 255 are both accepted for red. 85 is green and 170 is blue. I do not know what GM does with out of range hue.

This is such an intriguing post, I really want to see your project. I don't yet have GM8 though. Can you post an executable that I can look at?

I guess I better register GM8 soon, I feel like I'm getting left behind. Next big pay day I'll do that, I'm just not sure when that will be.

You should get it for free, just as any other moderator. Your work for YYG exceeds the costs of GM8 by several dozens of times.

that is weird xot... I did benchmarking on gm7 a long time ago and (x1-x2) * (x1-x2) was faster than sqr (x1-x2) at least for me.

At least I'm not a liar when it comes to using the point_distance method... same method for zdirection...

Are you sure you were not comparing x1*x1 to sqr(x1) instead?

#7 Re: Script Submission » Some of my 3d Scripts » 2010-08-28 14:57:46

Obscurely, the point_distance formula requires an extra squaring, an extra subtraction and an extra square root, compared to standard. It should be faster, it seems that GM optimization is more crap than I thought. Furthermore,  attempting to reduce larger arithmetic operations such as sqrt and / compared to + and * appears to be pointless in GM.

hmm not too sure these are the fastest methods: you could also use 2 times lengthdir_* which might be a lot faster?


ie the lengthdir_x_3d would then be:

Expandreturn lengthdir_x(lengthdir_x(argument0,argument2),argument1);

for y:

Expandreturn lengthdir_y(lengthdir_x(argument0,argument2),argument1);

and z:

Expandreturn lengthdir_y(argument0,argument1);

This is from top of my head though, untested =/.

In the same manner and equally untested:

point_zdirection:

Expandreturn point_direction(0,argument5,point_distance(argument0,argument1,argument3,argument4),argument2);

The following script can compute polynomials for arbitrary number of points, but is very sensitive to rounding errors. It adds polynomials that are zero for all values of x except one.

Yeah, you missed there are two versions: one with normals and one without.

The demo on GMC is very cool. I especially like how you were able to animate the water. I gather it is exploiting some kind of glitch but I don't really get what's going on. Is that an effected created through z-fighting?

The water animation is not mine, but by rivosaar. He uses a sprite that is half transparent and animated in a "continuous" manner. Next, he draws the sprite with tiny alpha to set the z-buffer where the sprite is opaque. With that, he combines two drawings of the mirrored sky.

Hello all,

I wrote scripts for reflecting trianglestrips. The hardest about that is to cut out the part that is behind the mirror. See also http://gmc.yoyogames.com/index.php?showtopic=444886

Hello all,

I have already submitted the shear script by way of the web interface, but the few d3d-scripts have not changed.
The shear transform has many applications:
1) Anaglyphs. Using rotations for the different eye-views is incorrect. Use shear transforms instead. See http://host-a.net/brac37/fps6anaglyph.gm6
2) Monitor drawing. You can draw a monitor by way of a surface which you use as a texture, but by way of a shear transform, you can draw the image of the monitor directly onto the screen. See http://host-a.net/brac37/fps6monitor.gm6.
3) Shadow drawing. You can draw shadows of point light by way of drawing onto a surface with the point light as the camera. The same holds for directional lights: use orthogonal camera projection. But shadows of directional lights can also by drawn directly on the screen by way of MitchGraham's method: simply project the scene onto the plane that must contain shadows. If the directional light is orthogonal to the plane, then the projection is simple. If not, then the projection is still simple if you use the shear transform script. See http://host-a.net/brac37/Dynamic%20Shadows%20Newer.gmk
And I did not mention drawing something skew yet.

What about this if you do not have factor?

var hoff, voff, xx, yy;

// calculate offsets based on origin
hoff = argument9 - sprite_get_xoffset(argument0);
voff = argument10 - sprite_get_yoffset(argument0);

// calculate coordinates
xx = argument2 [+ hoff] - lengthdir_x (hoff, argument6) + lengthdir_y (voff, argument6);
yy = argument3 [+ voff] - lengthdir_x (voff, argument6) - lengthdir_y (hoff, argument6);

//draw sprite
draw_sprite_ext(argument0, argument1, xx, yy, argument4, argument5, argument6, argument7, argument8);

Something like that. I have not tested my code.

EDIT: my code works differently. With my code, the sprite is draw as usual (i.e. on (x - sprite_get_xoffsef, y - sprite_get_yoffset)) if angle = 0, with (x + argument9 - sprite_get_xoffset, y + argument10 - sprite_get_xoffset) being the rotation center on the screen. With Burunduk's code, the rotation center on the screen is (x, y). The rotation center of the sprite is (argument9, argument10) for both scripts. You can get the same behavior if you remove the parts of my script that are between [ and ] now, i.e. [+ hoff] and [+ voff].

Can this be optimized?

Well, one/two times multiplication is faster than second/third power, I would think. Further, the terms in the middle can be factorized.

#16 Re: GML Reference » Blend Modes » 2010-02-25 18:44:49

There are two other issues. Normal blending does not set the z-buffer when the alpha of the source is zero. You can use blend mode (bm_zero, bm_one) if your only purpose is to change the z-buffer. Are there other blendings that do not set the z-buffer with alpha = 0?

Another issue is blend mode 13. Is it really something different as 1 to 11? Or is it only a tale?

#17 Re: Game Maker Bugs » median - returns wrong value when using an odd number of arguments » 2010-02-25 18:32:31

As yourself pointed, the median function is useful for bounding a value to an interval: median(lower_bound, value, upper_bound). I guess median(lower_bound, value, upper_bound, upper_bound) works for all versions of game maker.

Sorting an array is too much work to obtain the median or any other "smallest but k" value. Lazy quicksort suffices and takes linear time approximately instead of an extra logarithmic factor. But probably, there is no way to do lazy quicksort without using a slow GML.

There is a faster solution: add max_dbl as an argument.
