Codrer Industries

Water, sand, and grassy blocks... and it looks like a real game. Stick to this fast prototype project!

To be continued... I've got to do some regular job now!

I've started iubes last sunday, just one week from now... and I'd say I'm rather satisfied with my weird little world. Next step will be to introduce the iubes on the ground... watching them living there... and start to play them!

Sure there a scary number of items on my to-do list... but I'll try not to overthink things. For now, everything runs smoothly.

My iubes are now walking accross the world. However, since -I- stands for “intelligent”, there's still a lot to work to be done, basically. Maybe a couple of days more to see them eat, build, and replicate...

Anyway… first things first: I'm thinking about how a iube might look like? Obviously something rather "cubic"...

Today is a massive celebration day here. People have started to dance, sing, drink… for 5 days… right down in my street. Not so easy to focus and work in a self-sacrifice way.

So I decided to do "neither really usefull, nor important things". For example: shadows! Always a great headache, therefore an essential game feature for us, coders...

By the way, I dit it.

sgn(cos(a)) x |(cos(a)^2/q|

All started when I made a few searches about hyper ellipse formulas. Yep, that was the boring part: superquadrics, hypoellipse, plane algebraic curves in a cartesian coordinate system...

Then all of a sudden, came the nice part: my playground wasn’t limited to a single bubble shape anymore. Now I’ve got those super-ellipstic worlds. Very "inception movie" style! Well... not fundamental but nice. Whatever... I needed those formulas anyway.

It wasn't my purpose... but thanks this project, I'm levelling up my math skill.

Even if everything runs fine... day after day, work become slightly harder. The rule is to not think about it. Ok, I won't.
