iiinova — where your digital self keeps evolving

I’m pretty sure CTRL + SHIFT + Up/Down arrow also creates a new cursor above/below the current line. I say “pretty sure” because it’s muscle memory at this point so I forget the exact button combination.

Though, now that I think about it, getting a ball park measurement of the friction between my table and a D6 shouldn't be too hard...

000

If anyone knows an efficient way to get the exact values for these, I'm all ears. If I had a ball of the same plastic that your typical dice are made of I would measure the coefficient of restitution myself, but I don't have one and don't even know where I would start looking.

100

Trying to figure out the friction and 'bounce' coefficients to use in Godot has been primarily guess work. I started with some figures for the coefficients of friction and restitution that I found online and just started tweaking them until it looked better.

All dice use the D6 as a reference point for both their scale and weight. The D6 is 1 meter per side, is just under 1m^3 in volume, and weighs about 700kg. I used Blenders 3D printing add-on to get the volumes of all the dice and determined their weights using the ratio of current dice d6 volume.

100

Today on 'when did it become 1 am', I've make some QOL features for generating the LUTs, remodeled all the current dice (most of my time was working to streamline the process), added the D10, and spent time calculating and implementing the weight of the dice since they are jumbo sized in simulation.

The implementation of the number selector is simple, the hardest part is creating the LUT and that's only because it's a time consuming manual effort (and even then, it's not actually that long and could be sped up with an smidge of code).

This is the main part of the code that determines what number the dice has rolled.

This is the subscription to the physics sleeping state signal that the rigid body 3d class has.

This is the Look Up Table (LUT) for the Six sided dice (D6)

I’m looking forward to polishing this in my free time. Of course digital dice will never replace my magic math rock collection, so I doubt I’ll get much practical use out of this project. It’s been a short but fun learning experience though!

100

This, of course, creates the new issue where physics engines don’t like simulating fast moving things, so I just scaled the physics TPS up with the time scale (I think it’s running somewhere around 400TPS, kudos to the Jolt engine for running at that rate with hundreds of objects).

100

The hardest part was getting the physics engine to cooperate. Anyone who’s spent time playing with physics engines knows that they don’t like to simulate small things, so you scale things up and turn up the time scale.

101

The number on the dice is checked when the rigid body goes to sleep. This is done by taking the basis vectors of the rigid bodies transform, dot producting them with the global upwards variable, rounding the outputs to the nearest tenth, and searching a look up table with the result.

I’ve spent the past few hours whipping up a dice roller in #godot for no other reason than I figured out how. As of now it only has D4, D6, and D8 because it’s late.

I was at my local library and a familiar face jumped off the shelf at me. It’s funny how bsky changes you…

A book titled “Three Rocks” written by Bill Griffith. It’s the story of Ernie Bushmiller who created the character Nancy who is well known to the bluesky community as the comic strips featuring her and Sluggo are constantly being shared here. I saw this book on the shelf at my local library as I was skimming.

It’s neat watching the data update in real time on steamframeout.com, the ratios of waitlisted vs reserved as well as the ratio between the two storage models is really interesting

steamframeout.com

Steam Frame: waitlisted or reserved?

4,026 waitlisted (55.9%; 1TB 40.8% · 256GB 59.2%) · 3,179 reserved (44.1%; 1TB 39.1% · 256GB 60.9%) · 7,205 total responses

Sometimes I miss tutorial hell, but then I remind myself I miss the free time I had back then more than the actual tutorials. If anyone knows of some good intermediate/advanced tutorials for hardbody modeling I’m all ears though, they don’t have to be blender specific either.

Not particularly, Blender and Godot is what I use. For a video game cutscene they’re all you’d need, save for maybe Audacity to record your audio and some photo manipulator for texture work (though blender should do just fine in this regard)

Feangar @feangar.bsky.social · 12/07/2026

Granted, I cannot say what the odds are of the best or worst case (my money is on the latter being more probable), but Blender and Godot will always be free and you’ll always have access to them. The same can’t be said for these other programs.

Feangar @feangar.bsky.social · 12/07/2026

It wouldn’t hurt to dip your toes into these paid software. Worst case, you spend a couple of evenings playing with some tools that you’d not have been able to use otherwise. Best case, you pick up some software proficiencies that are useful to future employers.

LTT pointed out that a reason why some people are disappointed in the performance is because it was advertised as a 4k-60fps (with upscaling) capable machine. If you dial your expectations back a bit the performance looks fine, albeit lower than what you’d expect for that price. Thanks AI.

020

I think I’ll let the people who actually do the work think about whats best, and I’ll let those with stronger feelings on the subject try to sway their opinions (If y’all are supporting godot financially and don’t like their AI policy, now would be a good time to stop, vote with your wallet or smth)

000

The godot codebase isn’t public in the sense that any and all contributions get accepted, there are maintainers that moderate what gets accepted.

100

I guess in my mind allowing some slop into the code is kinda of like legalizing weed. The main argument is that it’s going to be used whether we like it or not so we might as well allow it so it can be regulated. But of course it’s not an apples to apples comparison.

100

Ideally there would be none, but that’s wishful thinking. If the best solution is to fully disallow it, then I’m all for that, I just don’t know if that’s the best solution when it comes to transparency.
