Zelda Dungeon Generation in Unity3D The other day, I found a post in Reddit’s /r/Unity3D to random procedural Zelda-style map generation using a binary-tree by a dude named David León, a game programmer. He goes on to explain his method for generating the maps, and even has downloads to his source code. He also has a bunch of … More David León, and his Zelda Dungeon Generation in Unity3D
Link: Two’s Complement You wanna know what always used to break my brain back in school? Two’s complement. For those of you unversed in nerd geek, i’s the computer’s way of interpreting negative and positive binary numbers by using the left-most bit as the sign. Examples: Lets talk in nybbles here (4 bits instead of … More Link: Two’s Complement
A* Pathfinding for Beginners OK, so a while back I posted a link for a simple implementation for A* Pathfinding for C/C++. The page gets a bunch of hits, but I get a lot of people asking me to explain it. Well, it’s not my code to really explain, and I haven’t tested it out … More Link to the Path: A* Pathfinding for Beginners
Thank you, StumbleUpon! I just so happen to have come across a handy code snippet for the A* pathfinding algorithm. This is pretty much a staple in any AI programmer’s arsenal. So here’s the code! Enjoy, peoples! A-star Shortest Path Algorithm (C++ recipe) Update! Oct. 13, 2017 Seeing how this is one of the more … More C++ Link: A-star Shortest Path Algorithm (C++ recipe)
Image via Wikipedia You know what irks me? Going online to look up something simple, like Dot Product or Cross Product, and getting nailed in the face with calculus proofs and discrete mathematics on why this and that happens, but never getting a simplified answer on what I’m looking up! Well, I have a website, … More Math Magician: Much Ado About 3D Math
I have created a quick way to find the code snippets you’re looking for! The Code Snippet Quick Reference under the Code tab at the top. Now you can find all the snippets for C/C++, Unity, and even the Math Algorithms all in one easy place (OK, technically 3, but shut up; I’m trying to … More Code Snippet Quick Reference
Man, I wish I had this blog going through school, because this place has become my online notebook. Game development is like riding a bike – but math, for me, can have a hard time stickin’. I’ve been working in databases so long that I have a lot of bit-shifting down, but my matrix and … More Math Magician – Lerp, Slerp, and Nlerp
W00t! 2,000 views on the blog today! Probably most are spammers, but who cares? Still a victory! Anyway, What I’m going to do is use this blog to not only rant about useless stuff I find interesting, but to also store code snippets and algorithms for later use in applications and such. And I guess … More Math Magician – LookAt Algorithm
