This reflective acrylic sheet shows how 1980s illustrators were able to trace real-life objects on the computer. Once it was aligned, it reflected whatever was in front of it over the monitor's display, allowing artists to trace it in a tool like MacPaint or MS Paint. Simple, low tech and effective.

TETRISNT: 2-IN-1 BLOK PAK Two variations on the classic for #fallingblockjam! In SCORETRISNT, there are no clears, instead you have 3 scoring objectives that get you points based on block placement. In MATCHTRISNT, you must connect 3 like pieces to clear them gamedevbrook.itch.io/tetrisnt

Godot's ColorRect is nice when you need to quickly add a simple line to the UI. Unfortunately, it is not rotation friendly as it doesn't enable or expose the anti-aliasing toggle. So here's a Color-ER Rect, if you need that: gist.github.com/YuriSizov/3c... I also included a few rendering modes.

On a light blue background there are 4 slightly rotated purple shapes with some text in white written next to them.

The first two shapes are filled and the other two are rendered as just a frame. The first and the third shapes are visibly aliased, while the other two are visibly blurrier, but not aliased.

Labels read, in order, "ColorRect, ColorerRect + AA, ColorerRect Frame, ColorerRect Frame + AA".

Important #indiedev / #gamedev tip: Youtubers and streamers may avoid your game if any audio gets flagged by YT's automated copyright system (Content-ID). Check this by uploading the soundtrack as an unlisted video and wait a couple hours for it to scan. I learned this the hard way on my first demo.

I dug up this very helpful old article on the internet archive that I think explains the problem and solution extremely clearly using the way Quake handles gravity as an illustration web.archive.org/web/20160719...

Doing gravity right

Now you may be thinking: "baah, I know how to do gravity.." but there's a big flaw in the commonly used Euler's method to handle the gravity (or other forces). Even all the Quake games have this problem. Then what is it? If you have more frames per second in Quake, your player will run faster and jump higher. There are some places in Quake where you can't jump high enough if you don't have enough frames per second. Sounds odd, right?

Most of the programmers do the gravity something like this:

velocity = velocity + gravity*delta_time
position = position + velocity*delta_time

The algorithm above is ok but when delta_time changes or delta_time is too high, it causes many unwanted problems. Gravity adding should actually be done like this:

velocity = velocity + gravity*delta_time/2
position = position + velocity*delta_time
velocity = velocity + gravity*delta_time/2

That's it.. but you need proof, right?

Results in practice

Here is a "jumping" parabola with different delta times, using the bad algorithm. The picture on the right corresponds almost exactly to Quake. As you can see, you can't jump in Quake if you have less than 3 fps.

(Illustration showing changes in the arc of a jump depending on framerate)

As delta time (dt) gets higher, the jumping curve gets lower.

Now here are results with the new algorithm:

(Illustration showing the arc of a jump staying the same)

Quite nice, don't you think? Accelerating physics are no longer approximation!

Remember that you should do all the accelerating forces like described above, not just gravity.

Integrating to the same results

The proving of the formula can also be done using integration (of course, because you are calculating areas..)

After integrating you'll get this formula:

pos = pos + 1/2*acc*dt^2 + vel*dt
vel = vel + acc*dt

Note that pos = position, vel = velocity, acc = acceleration and dt = delta_time

And optimizing that formula leads to this:

temp = acc*dt
pos = pos + dt*(vel + temp/2)
vel = vel + temp

This equals to the second formula given at the beginning of this document.
