Week 10 progress update
🕑 Added 2023-01-13 19:02:23 +0000 UTCI finally uploaded my first video to YouTube, which is now embedded into my blog post at relativisticgame.net. I don’t expect this video to win any Oscar nominations. Realistically, it will have a two digits view number for quite a while. Uploading the video was nonetheless a learning opportunity for me.
I also added a new post where I derive the formulas for hyperbolic motion in one dimension to relativisticgame.net and spent some time improving the site.
Apart from that, I mostly focused on improving the rendering of light inside light guides. I improved the shader and enabled normal and specular maps. I had to fix some bugs in how normals were handled in the textures. They were mostly due to me rotating textures without adjusting the normals: while rotating diffuse textures is simple, normal maps require the vectors to be adjusted. I feel I need a bit of research on what to do for my game around textures. I suspect using depth maps may solve a lot of the problems I have. I plan to investigate this soonish.
Apart from that, this was a short and not particularly productive week.
