Jayenkai	Cool! Just needs a spinning police box!

Jayenkai	Day Twenty One Yesterday.. 0% Creativity, 100% Copying I said a while back that Petit Switch can use the IR Camera on the JoyCon, and that that could, potentially be used as a transfer tool, but that I hadn't got around to making anything, yet. And so, line by line, level by level, I sat and copied level data from a PC generator, over to the Switch, using my good old fashioned 1980s Magazine Type-In skills. > Reveal 🔎 I think I should probably make that tool, now.. Meanwhile.... > Reveal 🔎 -=-=- ''Load, Next List!''

Jayenkai	Things I've done. Blitz 1. Coded a transfer program to convert bytes into a 4x2 grid of white rectangles, and have a "Frame Number" on the upper and lower 4x1 grid 2. Take string of chars, or array of bytes, send out a "Data Type" announcement, followed by the string of data. Flash Flash Flash! Petit Switch 1. Coded the reader program, vaguely. Unsure as to how well the IRCamera can be held in place, I used the smallest scale available, which reads in an 8x6 array of data based on roughly what the IRCamera's seeing. 2. Coded a quick test to output this data onto the screen. 3. Held up my hand to the camera and did the scissors test to test my "camera" was working. Yeay! Next step, hold the camera up to the screen, and .. ... Aah.. ... You knew this, Jay.. You knew this because the IR Camera on the WiiMote doesn't pick up the TV, does it. God damnit, Jay, you're a fucking idiot.. -=-=- ''Load, Next List!''

Pakz	Does the switch have a browser or any kind of app where you can screenshot something and get this inside petit? I am curious as I might get a switch in the future. Knowing you there probably is a good reason you are having difficulties.
Sat, 21 Dec 2019, 07:27
Jayenkai	No browser access, no. The only way I can see viable to access external data, is to rely on the 3DS methods. PetitCom4 (the Switch one) can access PeitiCom3 (the 3DS one) projects, but won't run them due to hardware differences, like dealing with JoyCons, not having a 3D screen, and so on. People tend to use older methods to get stuff to the 3DS project, then upload that, then download it on the Switch and convert it.. I was really hoping to not need to faff about that much. Never mind.. This is my 32nd game, and I've so far not needed to import data, so.. I'll ignore it and carry on without. -=-=- ''Load, Next List!''

shroom_monk	Day 21. Creativity supplies running low as we near the end! After spending a while pondering if there was anything substantially different to my previous shaders that I could try, I decided that something was better than nothing, so threw together this Julia fractal animation. Not exactly 'creative' since it's mostly just looking at the maths on Wikipedia, but hey, it's fun to look at for 30 seconds... www.shadertoy.com/view/3l33RX -=-=- A mushroom a day keeps the doctor away...

Jayenkai	That is really nice, especially when they cluster at just the right point. Mmm.. Fractals.. Chugs a bit on my crappy laptop, though. (Crappy laptop is crappy!) -=-=- ''Load, Next List!''

Jayenkai	Day Twenty Two Nothing from me, for yesterday. > Reveal 🔎 Thought to myself "Maybe I could try making some Messengar Stickers for iOS?" Figured Pixelart as Knitting might make some nice little stickers, right?! I read up, and it seems it's easy enough, so I draw a quick test image (The AGameAWeek logo) and copy it over to the Mac. The Mac needs an update, so I do the update. Then XCode needs an update, so I do that. Then XCode wants to "Install Additional Components" so I do that. Then .. MacOS wants to update, which.. .. Wait, didn't I do that!?! Never mind, off it goes again.. 2 hours since I started this task, and I finally get XCode loaded, create a new project and drag and drop the one single image over to the project, select the Simulator, and hit Compile. I swear to god, the amount of time it took to Compile .. An Image.. was FUCKING INSANE.. ugh Then it tried to boot the simulator, and must've taken about 20 minutes to boot that, followed by shit slow access to anything because .. shrugs At which point, I click on "Messages" for the purpose of testing the sticker, and the Messages app doesn't run... It crashes.. cries What a fucking waste of a day... Here's today's knit.. Bah, humbug. > Reveal 🔎 ... > Reveal 🔎 tries again .. Oh, FFS!! > Reveal 🔎 -=-=- ''Load, Next List!''

shroom_monk	Day 22 is a simple follow-up to yesterday's fractal. I picked a particular fractal (though you can pick a different one by changing the value of c), and you can drag out a rectangle with the mouse to zoom in on that rectangle. Of course, fractals being self-similar, nothing much really changes (until you get down to the floating-point boundary and it becomes blocky). Maybe I should've done something with more variety like the Mandelbrot Set... www.shadertoy.com/view/Wld3RX -=-=- A mushroom a day keeps the doctor away... Keep It Simple, Shroom!
Sun, 22 Dec 2019, 17:35
Jayenkai	That's nice enough. Could perhaps do with a ratio-lock so the "pixels" when zooming at a bit more 1:1, but other than that it's lovely. -=-=- ''Load, Next List!''

Jayenkai	Day Twenty Three After Saturday's disaster of a day, I opted to try my hand at something that I could at least manage to finish off without catastrophic failure. Blitz3D, because..
