This afternoon Will (the friend I mentioned in this previous post) showed up again on Google Talk.
He set me a new challenge: “How about translating your 3d engine/mandelbulb code into pure Javascript?”
This seemed impossible, but I quickly realized the code I had was very easy to convert. It is [...]
Last friday a friend of mine was talking about ray marching, the Mandelbulb and programming his own 3D fractal engine. He also kind of challenged me to do the same… So I picked up the challenge and set to work on my own 3D (CPU only) ray marching fractal engine (in Java). It was [...]
The last two days I’ve been competing in a competition called Ludum Dare.
This is a short, 48 hour, contest. In this time you have to build an entire game based on a theme given at the start of the 48 hours. It is a good exercise is planning, scaling, hacking, imagining and just having [...]
