Thought it would be interesting to slow down my Doom clone renderer to illustrate how it renders a frame.

@DOOMReboot You got it working! That looks sick man

The mRNA vaccines (Pfizer and Moderna) are kind of brilliant at a science level. I’ve had a few people in my real non-Twitter life ask me to explain how it works so I’m going to try my best here in this thread while I’m waiting for a patient to show.

[Calin Reimer @CalinR]

@DOOMReboot Still really impressive stuff man! Yeah I was thinking it should look more like this https://t.co/l9JiCfjGXH

[Calin Reimer @CalinR]

@DOOMReboot This is looking really sick! Great work!

After some playing around I finally figured it out. I'd left XR Device Simulator in the scene when building to my device. XR Device Simulator would then conflict with headset rotation.

[Calin Reimer @CalinR]

Anyone out there that is familiar with @unity3d's XR Interaction Toolkit? I've added it to my project, but when viewing it on a headset the vertical head tracking is flipped. Anyone have insight on what I'm missing? #VR #XR #gamedevelopment

[Calin Reimer @CalinR]

@ValerADHD That is the best explanation of how 3d projection works I've ever seen. Great work!

[Calin Reimer @CalinR]

@DarrenOsadchuk Just out of curiosity, do you need something that's just going to run Minecraft? If so, you should still be able to run that on MacOS, that's what I've done in the past and it worked pretty well.

[Calin Reimer @CalinR]

@DOOMReboot Oh, you're thinking stackable sectors? If so I've never thought about that. Current engine doesn't support that, but since I'm using portals it does support moving sectors

@DOOMReboot I've also been following your stuff pretty closely. Really been enjoying seeing what your building. Glad you were able to recover your project

[Calin Reimer @CalinR]

@DOOMReboot Thanks! Yeah I couldn't wrap my head around BSP so I opted for the portal route. It supports convex sectors but doesn't currently support things like sloped floors and ceilings like Duke Nukem did

[Calin Reimer @CalinR]

Had some fun creating a basic level editor for my Doom clone project tonight. This is going to make debugging so much easier!

[Calin Reimer @CalinR]

Made more progress on my #javascript DOOM clone project tonight. My engine can now render multiple sectors using portals.

[Calin Reimer @CalinR]

Started a new personal project this month. I'm working on a DOOM clone in #javascript without using WebGL but instead using 2d #canvas. Just got texture mapping working!

[Calin Reimer @CalinR]

I have a code example available here as well https://t.co/GRdqna1pRj

Just discovered that the most recent #Chrome update breaks infinite scroll and load more functionality on websites. You can see the issue by clicking load more with focus https://t.co/vlX1uakldk
#javascript

[Calin Reimer @CalinR]

The most recent Chrome update seems to keep whatever element that currently has focus in the viewport as elements get added to the DOM. To fix this, just blur the element when you want to add elements to the DOM to keep the user scrolled to the same point on the page.
