My “Kuma and Meow” heart pixel art is used as a logo for the February update of OneGameAMonth.com. If you love gamedev and jams, you should go there, it’s a lovely community of indie game jammers ! This platform helps you creating one game a month…pretty straight forward site name indeed !
Computer generated images based on triangles.
We successively draw (couterclockwise) the 4 triangles formed by:
the inverse intersection of a square and its inner diamond
and conversely, those formed by:
the inverse intersection of this diamond with its outer square.
We start with a size-1 square and multiply its size by a factor 2 at each iteration.
We assume we have 2 groups of 4 functions drawing the triangles, the main algorithm of generating the image should look like this :
// 2 arrays of 4 functions, each one drawing a different triangle
_arrTriangleDrawFunc1 = [drawTriangleUP, drawTriangleLEFT, drawTriangleDOWN, drawTriangleRIGHT];
_arrTriangleDrawFunc2 = [drawTriangleUPLEFT, drawTriangleDOWNLEFT, drawTriangleDOWNRIGHT, drawTriangleUPRIGHT];
_palette = [rgb(80,80,255), rgb(112,112,255), rgb(144,144,255), rgb(176,176,255)];
_size = 1;
loop()
{
// for each of the 4 triangles of each group
for (_indFunc = 0; _indFunc < 4; _indFunc++)
{
_indColor = random(_palette.length);
_arrTriangleDrawFunc1[_indFunc](_size, _palette[_indColor]);
_indColor = random(_palette.length);
_arrTriangleDrawFunc2[_indFunc](_size, _palette[_indColor]);
}
_size *= 2;
}
I’ve done this experiment for fun and because I was a need of ‘creating’ something, basically I started to make a pixel art of something very similar and just gave a try of coding it, and messing around with the algorithm…
Look how a small tweak in the algo reveals a totally different rendering !
Images generated using HTML5 canvas and javascript.
Finally after 6 years, a new version of my personal website http://darokin.info
Ludum Dare is a regular accelerated game development event where you have to make a game (code, gfx, music) from scratch, alone, in 48 hours.
I participated at this 24th edition this week-end. The theme was “Evolution”. I make a HTML5/JS game named “PixelVolution”, I didn’t go as far as I wanted to, but it was great fun !
Here is a link to play ‘PixelVolution’
Hope I could make the next Ludum Dare in December…
Isoblock Madness is a game i started a long time ago and I only finished it a few years later due to laziness.
All graphics were done with Gimp/InkScape, music and SFX with Musagi/Famitracker and coded in AS3 with no library.
It’s an irritating logic/puzzle game, just give it a try.
Little online python app I made to transform any image into a gameboy epic 4 colors palette picture.
