GUESS WHO'S BACK

Exams are just around the corner, and I have recovered (mostly) so got back to productivity. I missed my notes <3

The 1989tv vault tracks are stuck in my headddddd my favourite is Now that we don't talk. If you are a swiftie, what is your favourite vault track?

Things I did today:

40 out of 55 slides of a PPT

19 out of 27 concepts from Module 1 of computer science

Ate biryani :3 (and then had a tummy ache LOL)

P.S. the whiteboard is @studaxy's I STOLE IT (jk, they gave it to me lol)

🎧 Suburban Legends — Taylor Swift

[forallnumbersosc]

Oooh, have you guys heard of the subspecies Boolean Algebraliens?

(sorry if this is like, too oc'ish lol)

[NONO THIS IS WONDERFUL I LOVE HEARING ABOUT YOU GUYS' IDEAS AND ID LOVE TO HEAR MORE <3<3]

[plus as a computer engineering student who took discrete math and digital logic and is VERY familiar with boolean algebra and gate logic it makes me personally very happy !!!!!]

Ooh I haven't heard of them personally, but I would not be surprised if there were a playground of them around somewhere! Algebralien playgrounds tend to host mainly one family at a time, such as the playground here on Goiky hosting integers while others host variables, geometrical figures, and likely... one full of boolean expressions!

[here's what I think some of them might look like in my style.... nothing is official though!]

[if anyone has ideas or just wants to chat, by the way, my PMs on here are open if you don't want to send asks!!]

After World Was II, the binary code, the von Neumann architecture, and the engineerings of efficient logic gates in microchips made possible the construction of fast computers and the formalisation of computer algorithms of larger size and higher complexity. For the first time in history, sequences of numerals came to represent not just quantities but instructions. The so-called ‘computer revolution’ was not just about the use of binary numerals (binary digits, or bits) to encode human language and analogue content (digitisation) but about accelerating mechanical computation through binary logic (or Boolean logic).

DFX452 | Post 4 | 5/1/25

I can't believe I'm so close to graduating - this will be the last DFX post I'll ever make! It's a little bittersweet. But we move forwards!

Let's take a quick look at what I've been up to since the last DFX post.

Finished coding hand puzzle

Finished coding button puzzle

Created all capybara characters for Level 1

Did lots of improvements on the grappling hook system

Major map building / fleshing out

Made some sacrifices

Let's explore each of these.

Hand puzzle

So, I got the brunt of the work done for the hand and statue puzzles in my last DFX post. Now they're complete!

With the hand statue puzzle, I was having some troubles with the thumb intersecting with two of the other fingers when opening or closing, since they overlap in 3D space while opening or closing the thumb. My first attempt at solving this resulted in jumpy animations and some glitches.

I'm glad to say I've made the code water-tight. Now, when you click on a finger, you are unable to click on it again while the opening or closing animation is playing. In regards to the thumb, there's now a delay set up so that you can't activate any of the three involved fingers while opening or closing the thumb, and this delay only applies if one or both of the offending fingers are closed. Long story short, it's all smooth. The only downside is that it's not quite as snappy as possible, but it's such a small detail that it's hardly an issue.

I've also created the second hand, a mirror image of the first one with different solution requirements (different combination of fingers). They both now cast to the main gate, which will open in a small cutscene if you get it right. After that, you can no longer interact with the hand statues.

Button puzzle

This was easy enough to finish, except for one aspect. Everyone, meet Pepper.

In order to open the final gate, you have to talk to Pepper, and he'll saunter on over to stand on the final button for you. There were so many little bits and bobs involved with the nodes I used that messed things up. It was a long, long series of easy fixes that finally got it to work.

A couple issues I ran into: He's perfectly perpendicular to the ground when walking up the ramp, and he is slow. Really, really slow.

The ramp issue is going to be a headache to fix. I already gave it a shot with no success. I did notice this issue in my original demo as well, but it was easy enough to ignore. Well, now it's on the docket for a future fix. I don't have the time to address it for finals!

The other issue is how slow he is. I made the capybaras really slow originally, since none of them had a real destination. They were intended to simply pace around leisurely.

Instead of doing major revamps to the capybara parent class (which I may do in the future), I just made Pepper really sleepy. He's just woken from a nap, or something, and so he takes his time getting to the button. Someday this will be the scourge of speedrunners. But I think it's kind of funny, so I'll probably keep it in.

Capy Characters and Dialogue

I talked about the dialogue system revamp I did in my last DFX post. There's really not much to say here - the new Capy class made it super easy to make all of the basic characters! It only took me probably around 20 or 30 minutes to make all of them. Nice!

Grappling hook fixes

Well, I did it! I made the grappling hook so, so, SO much better! It's not perfect, and may never be, but it's so much more functional. How about a list of fixes?

Fixed bad camera transition

Made it so you can't enter grapple mode while grappling (this one was a headache for the dumbest reason)

Fixed accidental delay between throwing hook and swinging

Created idle and throwing animations and implemented them

Fixed physics issues with 'grab' action

I used a little coding trick, using a boolean variable and some if/else statements, to prevent the player from being able to use the grappling hook while they're currently using the grappling hook. You could summon as many hooks as you wanted at any given time, if that makes any sense. But now you can't! Which fixes a lot of issues.

Map buildout

I've been hard at building out the map. It's easy, not much to really explain, so why don't I show you instead?

Sacrifices (and a little retrospective)

I really overestimated what I could accomplish this semester. If I had gotten a better start, I might have been able to finish it in time. The first two weeks of this project were dedicated to learning C++, and I ended up not being able to use it anyways, and I spent twice as long on assets as I had planned for. That accounts for around four full weeks of time that I could have used more wisely. As a result, I had to cut a lot of stuff out of the level, even some stuff that I worked really hard on. For example, I didn't have enough time to do the lineup puzzle at all, even though I spent lots of time making the wayshrine. Same story with the magic stone, and some other stuff.

I don't want to be too pessimistic, though. The assets took two extra weeks, but if I had gotten them all done 'on time' I would have rushed them and wound up with a ton of mediocre assets with lots of issues. I'm really proud of the assets I made, and so I can't fully regret taking so long to make them. In the long run, it's probably worth it.

I also had to cut out all of the cinematics for this submission. To be honest, even if I was perfectly on-schedule with everything else, I think I wouldn't have been able to finish it in time anyways. I've never done cinematics before, and it would be a lot of tedious animation. I'm not the best at animating, and it's not exactly my favorite thing to do in the realm of 3D art.

Overall, I think if I had a bit better time management, maybe I'd have more done. But what can I say? What I did get done was an astronomical amount of work to put on a single person's shoulders, especially as a full-time student with three other classes to juggle. So, in the end, I can't be mad at myself. Like I always say, we move forwards.

Where do we go from here?

I'm finishing the level. I'll say that right now. I don't care how long it takes, I really want this to be a full game. School's close to ending for me, and after that I'm moving and starting to job hunt. Once I'm settled in my new living space, I'll have lots of free time to get CapyQuest stuff done between job applications. CapyQuest is genuinely rewarding and fun to work on. It can be stressful, but even with looser deadlines, I think I can make something great.

I'll keep posting on this blog and working on the game. I'm hopeful for the future and really looking forward to what I can make.

Well, that's about it! See ya!

I am once again BEGGING people to fucking understand that "playersexual" IS a thing, it's just not a GOOD thing. There are many characters in many games (games which are NOT THE FUCKING BALDUR GATE) who are NOT "bisexual" because they are not EVER attracted to ANYONE but the player character. They are not written as fully fleshed out bisexual characters.

Pretending that there "is not such thing as playersexual" both undercuts games like BG3 that DO write in characters with complete, complex sexual and romantic arcs that are indeed bisexual in nature.

AND elevates shitty fuckshows games that toggled a boolean into "bisexual rep."

So, okay, let's recap people.

PLAYERSEXUAL IS A DEROGATORY TERM FOR WHEN OTHERWISE STRAIGHT CHARACTERS HAVE A SINGLE VARIABLE TOGGLE SET INSTEAD OF BEING IDENTIFIED AS BISEXUAL IN THE NARRATIVE

It absolutely fucking exists

BG3 is not however an example of playersexual because (say it with me)

BG3 characters are bisexual

As in they are shown, stated, or otherwise confirmed in the narrative to experience attraction to people of multiple genders not just the player character

please

the words

they have meanings okay

Update

I have been experimenting with some of the new data values I discovered, copying them from my personal file onto the default cube’s file. Most of the time, this results in an error message, of which I have currently discovered 3 varieties. I am unable to read them, but I have deduced that one likely means an incompatible value, one is a compatible value entered with an incompatible integer value, and one I don’t currently have a guess for.

I have also figured out why my current setup works to allow me editing capabilities. There is a Boolean value that I possess that caused a type 2 error when added to the cube, and the same type 2 error when changed.

A Boolean is a value type with two settings: true, and false. They are the simplest form of digital value, and are used for a variety of means, especially logic gates.

I believe this value denotes whether an object is considered to be digital or physical. It seems like the default cube does not have this value, which allows it to both exist in physical space, and be modifiable via digital means. This is because of a quirk with the code, where the scripts check for a value to be set to not false, rather than true. Thus, when receiving no input, the code would run normally. I believe that the cube likely was created before digital storage, so it wouldn’t need to have that value.

The existence of a “is digital” value brings up an interesting question: who added it? Humans didn’t have computers for several million years, and the fact that it clearly didn’t exist at some point means that there was a point in time when it was added. So who? And what did they plan for?

Pleasantly yours,

Tester

Everyone please welcome Hunkers Boolean, the fifth homosexual character in balders gate 3

[hetkapselmijnsouwenheren]

I like how there was a point in fiction like in say The Lift and Star Trek: Voyager when it was all the rage to include biological components in machinery, in particular neural ones to allow them to do “fuzzy logic”. As in Voyager actually had these “bio-neural gel packs” to allow the computer to perform human-like fuzzy logic. But now people are just like “Nahh, we can simulate neurons on boolean logic gates in a processor just fine, no need to put organic components into it.” and it completely dominates the world now.

Voyager's “bio-neural gel packs”.

ECECS407 Secure Two-Party Computation Assignment

Yao’s garbled circuits protocol allows two parties to perform an arbitrary computation without revealing their inputs to each other. In this assignment, your task will be to implement the garbled circuit protocol. For our purposes, the computation is expressed as a feed-forward boolean circuit. To keep things simple, we only consider gates with 2 inputs and 1 output wire. We also simplify things…

In order to put the history of AI in perspective, it is important at this point to clarify the difference between deductive and inductive logic. Since Leibniz’s idea of a calculus ratiocinator, the modern project of pursuing machine intelligence has been founded on the postulate that human logic can be expressed by propositional logic (‘if x, then y is true/false’), which is equivalent to Boolean logic (AND, OR, and NOT operators). A proposition expressed according to this formal logic can be easily encoded into a mechanism made of rotating gears, electric relays, or electronic gates, such as valves or transistors. On a closer look, this type of logic is pursuing a linear form of rationality that replicates the linearity of written language and symbol manipulation according to the rules of deductive inference — an approach well exemplified by the Turing machine and the way it executes instructions from a one-dimensional tape. Symbolic AI, expert systems, and inference engines are all examples of this tendency of deductive machines that continued until the 1980s. On the other hand, artificial neural networks — along with all machie learning algorithms — are examples of inductive machines. Whereas deductive logic is the application of a rule, reasoning from the general to the particular, inductive logic involves reasoning from the particular to the general, thereby forming rules of classification. The canonical example is the movement from the discovery that ‘each human being dies’ to the definition of the rule that ‘all human beings are mortal’. This opposition between deductive and inductive logic is key to understanding not only the Gestalt controversy but also the rise of machine learning. Matteo Pasquinelli, 2023.

Do you have a favorite method to make logic gates?

Hi Anon! Thanks for the Ask!!

I haven't messed with logic gates in a long time, but i generally start with the boolean algebra and go from there. I hate karnaugh maps with a burning passion, so i will literally do the boolean reductions myself which is... maybe not advised, but I don't do enough of it in my day-to-day for the time sink to be a problem.

Let me know if you need resources or anything, I learned from the David Harris and Sarah Harris "Digital Design and Computer Architecture" 2ed textbook because Sarah Harris was my prof, but its straight up the best textbook to get computer engineering from (in my experience at least)!
