Augmented Reality Tests

2009-06-21T12:51:00.002+01:00

I've been trying out various AR solutions. All with varied success rates.

Flash and augmented reality is no where near as fast as some people claim. Sure if you have a high end Mac, then it's going to run great. But on my PC laptop with 1gb memory it's not that fast. In fact it's fairly choppy even with optimisations.

I started with this video tutorial. Which ran appallingly slow on my machine.

I then went to Mikkoh's blog and downloaded his demo. That ran a little faster. It also works straight out of the box without needing to download anything else.

After that I wanted to see if I could get multiple markers going. For that I downloaded FLARManager by Eric Socolofsky. The most annoying thing about getting it to run was getting a build of Flex for Flash Player 10 that wasn't broken. Aside from that, it's pretty well written and it's set up for optimisation.

I finally had two markers working:

Note the framerate. I was using 8x8 pattern files, running at half resolution, quality set to low and still not that fast.

I discovered that the marker files were actually text files and wrote my own marker maker. You can get a web cam based one from the web, but their output is pretty dodgy. I built it using Processing. All the ARToolKits seem happy reading any marker file with any extension: .txt, .pat, .bananas, .anything.

I tried without success to get Chung's Simple ARToolkit to work. At one point I had recognition of a very basic marker (which was pleasingly fast), but nothing since then. It just won't recognise my markers. The most fustrating thing about it is that he's set the JARToolKit object to private, so you can't access it directly and do anything else with it. Why!? No multiple markers! Why don't you trust me Chung!?

The original jARToolKit seems to be happy in the code folder of a normal Processing sketch, so I might see if I can rebuild the simple ARToolKit as a class in a normal Processing sketch. Though I'm skeptical about it seeing any of my patterns.

Son of Genetic Algorithm Library

2009-05-11T21:57:00.002+01:00

I was recently contacted about the genetic algorithm library I wrote a couple of years back. I remembered it having a bug or two so I decided to give it a quick polish before recommending it. A quick polish turned into a furious scrubbing. Then into total dismantling and then rebuilding with new parts. There were some gaping huge holes in the logic behind the framework of the last version but hopefully the new build is more reliable. Plus it not only works as a GA, but as a tool for splicing arrays of information as binary - that you the user can control how you see fit.

Genetic Algorithm Library for Processing or Java

When I get time I will alphabetise the reference and add some graphical examples. For now, I'm putting up the bare bones so it can be used and abused.

Also, a shout out to Konami Code Sites who were kind enough to add RobotAcid to their list. Go check it out for some geeky finger foolery.

JQuery is Easier Than it Looks

2009-04-19T18:42:00.004+01:00

As an unrequested favour to my new host, I decided to move the link list on the site over to JQuery. Originally the link list was an aggregate of at least 10+ php files that were then hidden by scriptaculous. And the mark up to get the hiding to work was pretty ugly. I've now switched to dynamically pulling in the link lists for a nicer page loading experience and for less demand on the server's cpu. And the script to pull this off is quite small:


// hide all divs
$(document).ready(function(){
 $("div").hide();
});
// Accordion toggle categories and ajax load empty categories
function toggleContent(id) {
 // id also serves as a file path for the file to be loaded
 var div_id = "#"+id.substr(id.lastIndexOf('/')+1);
 var jdiv = $(div_id);
 // if div contains a noscript item, load content from id
 if(jdiv.children("noscript").length > 0){
  jdiv.html('loading...');
  jdiv.slideDown("normal", function(){
   jdiv.load(id+".php", function(){
    // capture inner html and switcheroo with loaded text
    var html = $(div_id).html();
    jdiv.html('loaded');
    jdiv.slideUp("normal", function(){
     jdiv.html(html);
     // hide all subcategories
     $("div", div_id).each(function(){
      $(this).hide()
     });
     jdiv.hide();
     jdiv.slideDown("slow");
    });
   });
  });
 // otherwise just slide the div open and closed
 } else {
  $(div_id).slideToggle("slow");
 }
}

Not to mention that it took very little time to learn, despite JQuery syntax looking fairly scary.

I'm Back

2009-04-04T14:00:00.001+01:00

After being royally raped by a Chinese virus I've moved hosting to Huevia and put everything back online. I'm leaving comments off because the blog was the first part of the site to get affected, and also I'm not uploading any cgi scripts until I'm certain it's safe to do so and I'm doing it right.

I would normally post some links as well, but I'm thinking using my regex powers to make a proper indexed page of links with a smart search box on the side. This is because Blogger's search tool is a bag of bollocks.

Also you'll notice that comments are off. I'd rather not have that avenue open to attack my site. If you want to nudge me then my email is:

Surrealism

2008-11-15T13:05:00.001Z

In an effort to get back to why I started working in digital in the first place, I set out to do some surrealist drawings. My intention in working with a computer was to get it to do the same kind of surreal work that I did long before my return to art education.

Needless to say, I got sidetracked.

Surrealist drawings

It's almost like the opposite of programming. This work is free and mindless, whereas working with a computer is intensely cerebral and structured.

The next game of mine to be released uses the Logo style path language I blogged about before. If I applied this path behaviour as thrust on particles instead of walking a line, I might have beginnings of how to teach the computer my particular drawing language.

Compression Depression

2008-08-23T11:48:00.001+01:00

At work I've been coming up with a new method of managing monsters by giving them a Logo style script. It's a list of letters followed by numbers. The real tough part was nesting scripts within each other so I can have monsters spawn other monsters. This is tough because I have the new script in between brackets and regex can't do a balanced search. It's okay to spawn one monster, but what if that monster wants to spawn as well?

The solution was to match the deepest spawn that wasn't spawning itself and work back from there. I store that in an array, then replace it with a marker to that point in the array:


var path_string:String = "a bunch of commands go here"
// spawn commands look like: S(monster commands)
const SPAWN_COMMANDS:RegExp = /(?<=S \()[^\(\)]*(?=\))/;
const SPAWN_COMMANDS_REPLACE:RegExp = /S \([^\(\)]*\)/;
var subroutines:Array = new Array();

if (subroutines.length == 0){
 // extract spawn instructions and replace with an index to the subroutine list
 // matching works from the deepest nest up as the parenthesis is replaced
 do{
  var spawn:Array = path_string.match(SPAWN_COMMANDS);
  if(spawn != null) subroutines = subroutines.concat(spawn);
  path_string = path_string.replace(SPAWN_COMMANDS_REPLACE, "S "+(sub_index++));
 } while (spawn != null);
}

I then give each spawn a reference to the subroutine array, which means I only have to parse subroutines once and I save on memory. Even if the parent monster is erased, the reference by the spawn to the subroutine array saves it from being garbage collected.

The crazy thing is that the first spawn command will get replaced with "S 1". If I'm wise to this when I write a monster's script, I can type "S 1" any where in the script and it will call that subroutine. Even inside the first spawn's own script. This means my monsters can recursively generate.

All well and good. But now I have a massive XML full of instructions for every monster. Chris Burt-Brown at work had already opted for an RLE compression method that I've also adopted (multiples of the same item you replace with a quantifier and the item), but this isn't enough for complicated instruction sets. Looking around I found an LZW compression algorithm in AS2. It even produces XML safe output! Problem solved right? Wrong. My level editor uses a javascript method to save the XML that I cribbed from Galasoft. That method only saves ANSI encoded text files. The LZW algorithm produces UTF-8 encoded output. Saving those strings as ANSI destroys all the data. I was lucky enough to find out that Mozilla browsers have the ability save XML with the XMLSerializer method in UTF-8. There's a thread on the topic here. A quick mod to the Galasoft script and I was home free.

Now if I could figure out how to operate FZip, then I could take the operation further and get more assets within the game packed down to size.

Final Ninja

2008-07-24T10:33:00.000+01:00

I'm quite pleased with this one and I hope people enjoy it:

Final Ninja

It started out as a sort of cross between the Dirk Valentine and Dangle engines. Then on the way to pick up my usual lunchtime Thai noodles the ninja theme suggested to me that he should be able to turn invisible as well. This is also my first project in AS3. The most tricky part of the transition is that they've completely buggered up animation control in AS3. Having complex nested animations is no longer possible due to gotoAndStop being processed at the end of a frame. I've also not noticed the fabled speed increase everyone is speaking of (and even in Processing I was a total speed whore). It is however refreshing to know when I'm being a bad programmer, and you can trick AS3 into behaving like AS2 when you need to.

Ogre

2008-05-31T11:56:00.000+01:00

Well I finally got Ogre to compile. Bugger knows how I'm going to graft Openframeworks libraries into it. I only really need sound and the VideoGrabber, but those are still tall orders.

If you want to play with Ogre on a PC you'll need the following:

Visual Studio 9. Trying to get it to work with Code Blocks is more trouble than it's worth, especially as it breaks Openframeworks when you get the bare minimum working. Plus VS9 is pretty damn good. I'm amazed that Microsoft made it.
The Ogre SDK
DirectX Runtime

Then you'll want to read the following:

Installing the Ogre SDK
Setting up an application. No the Ogre Application Wizard doesn't work on VS9. This means we have to do some twiddling with project settings to get it to work. But despite this being a pain, it teaches you how to set up projects properly and will help you in the long run.
My thread in the Ogre Forum about trying to get VC9 to compile Ogre. I didn't quite read the instructions in the previous link thoroughly, but those instructions also assumed some knowledge I didn't have. Most of the difficulty of getting Ogre to compile is down to correct project settings and correct file placement. So you have to use your initiative a little to figure it out. Now I'm at the following stage:

I'm going to settle in to this stuff now to put off the nightmare that combining Ogre and Openframeworks will be.

Well. This is a weird one. Certainly an experimental system.

Knuckleheads

The trouble with this game is that basically moving was so difficult that it was hard to put any challenges in the game without making it bloody impossible.

Progress with C++ is slow but fruitfull. I've managed to port the basics of my Processing breakout project over and bloody hell is it fast. I'm now trying to get Ogre to work. I looked at OpenSceneGraph but the set up instructions are incomprehensible and the forum is in Chinese. Seeing as I have enough trouble getting a Hello World out of C++ with out spending a few hours picking the brains of a forum on how to do it, I doubt I'm going to get any where with that one.

2008-04-13T15:17:00.000+01:00

Just had my first sucessful tinkering session yesterday with Openframeworks on Dev C++. I'm now going to try to get it working on Code Blocks. I'm also going to be trying to get Ogre to work as well.

It's tough work really because I need to know that I've got 3D model importing and visual analysis up and running before I press on with porting my Processing code. And none of the C++ I've learned will sink in till I'm doing that last part. It's not that I think Processing isn't up to the challenge. I did a polygon test on my laptop yesterday and the chug set in on both platforms past the 10,000 rectangle point using OpenGl. I was quite surprised that there was so little difference, but the issue isn't really drawing, it's reading 3D model files. It's just that Processing isn't set up to import models and render them efficiently. Plus I'm sure I could be doing a more detailed visual analysis in C++. We'll see. Any progress I make will be uploaded to the Experimentation section for now.

I've knocked up a port of the A* code I used in it into Processing here. Not that the intelligence of the monsters was appreciated or noted, but I guess that's how good design works. If it works well then you don't pick up on it.

I'll be putting up the links I've harvested later - I've got quite a few useful ones regarding programming.

I am currently trying to figure out how to get back into printmaking and reading C++ tutorials.

At work we're moving into AS3. Yes it's not as straightforward as the AS3 fanboys would have you believe. It's almost like porting a Flash project to Java. Components are the worst culprits, being obscure and not well explained at all. When it comes to AS3, internet becomes your best friend. It is however a better world that seems to make a lot more sense this time round.

2008-02-14T12:01:00.000Z

Huzzah! A game I made last year has been released.

Aquanaut

The technology in this I was kinda proud of. The sub is actually a pentagon mesh of springs that bounce off of pixels using the Bresenham algorithm to correct to the surface of the pixels and calculate the bounce vector. One particle on it's own bounces weirdly (back along the angle of penetration). But tie several together with springs and somehow it rolls realistically, off of pixels!

The water transition is a displacement map trick like this one. Simon (the project's artist) made me a black and white long image to slide through the map. A decent map, makes for a decent effect.

Okay, seeing as P5 Blogs filters my professional work out I'll keep the links and P5 stuff separate from my game making work. I've been working on a camera tracking breakout engine with AI blocks I'd like to share, I'll post that and the link harvest later.

Just this week we've launched Nanobots (a weapon switching shoot-em up inspired by Ikaruga and R-Type) and Off the Rails (a track-and-field controlled railcart powered by mexican cactuses).

Both have been a lot of fun to work on (although Nanobots was a tough gig to get done on time what with not being able to copy / paste a lot of platform game code into it).

Also, someone has made a port of Magic Touch for the Nintendo DS! He's taken liberties with the game design but seeing as most of us have a DS and a homebrew card here at the office it was very flattering all the same. He's used a different method for the recognition obviously, because it's less forgiving at times. But I'm still impressed given that I've yet to knock up any homebrew for the DS myself.

Magic Touch

2007-08-31T10:23:00.000+01:00

We've released a new minigame here at Nitrome.

This uses the gesture recognition neural net setup I blogged before. It also uses some line-intersection math and some general common sense to figure out what shapes you're drawing. We have a distribution version of it if anyone else wants to host it as well (as it's a minigame it's a no-licence game) - contact nitrome.com for that, or if you want to know how the shape recognition works you can contact me.

Processing Stuff

2007-07-22T17:45:00.000+01:00

I've just been porting my Flash physics work into Processing. A demo with big chunks of source here.

Friends of Ed were nice enough to send me a copy of Ira's book to review. It's taken me some time to think of stuff to say because I'm busy working in Flash these days so it's hard to find some Processing time. To be fair - I've looked through it, but I haven't used it. I want to sit down and read the collision section of course because of the physics stuff I'm doing but I also have a day job, and I've just managed to hack around irregular surface collisions with a rather crazy implementation of the bresenham algorithm (yup - bounce it off a surface by detecting the level of penetration into a pixel map - with one particle it's unrealistic - with a spring box it's like the real deal).

The book is aimed fairly well at where I was when I started using Processing a few years ago. I had no idea how to program, some pretty concrete illusions about how everything was done and no knowledge of math. If I could have sent Ira's book down a wormhole back to me when I started to pick up this Processing lark I'd have had a much easier time of it (although the differences between Processing 68 and 120+ would have been a pain).

The book pretty much covers the basics of everything. Which is a very Processing way of going about stuff. You don't get into the complications of heavy Java which most advanced users get into. On the whole I find I pretty much understand everything explained to me in the book - which is a miracle for a book on programming. A lot of the examples look quite pretty and inviting and I can see myself thumbing through it if I hit a creative block.

If I had a criticism of it it would be the shotgun approach to learning that goes on in it. It's a great book for getting someone into Processing and I would recommend it to a student but I tried using it for reference purposes a few times and it cut me off before I could find the specialist information I needed. So either I'm a little above the target audience's level or I'm just too picky about what I want to find out. There's points where I'm looking through it thinking, "ayuh, there's a faster way of doing that," but you can't really confuse beginners with the speed stuff straight away I guess. Basically, it's a teaching book, not a reference manual - it won't revolutionise the way you code, just expand your horizons.

So if you've got an artist friend who wants to get into using Processing, I would recommend this book to them, it should help a lot. More advanced users might find it a strange book in terms of use for programming. I'm used to "get to the point" manuals, harrassing people on the web (sorry forum) and online tutorials. As programming books go, it is incredibly wordy, but artists (and I am the exception to the rule) are also wordy creatures, so this may go down well with the new breed of art-geek that has hit the world this century. In summary - if I was teaching Processing I would find this useful for shoving under my students noses, and I think they would find it useful too.

2007-07-09T17:02:00.000+01:00

We've released a new game at Nitrome for MTV that I've developed the game engine and levels for.

Dangle

Go play it. Now. Go play it now. Now, now, now, now, now.

A few posts down on my blog you can see the intersection code I was working on to get the spider to snap to platforms. This combined with chaining springs together evolved into the final game. The control system without a doubt was the hardest part - there are dozens of little meters and switches behind the scenes trying to gauge mouse movement.

The next game is shaping up quite well. I'm taking all this physics engine and long scrolling level stuff to new heights. It should be a good little number.

Gesture Shmesture

2007-06-23T20:37:00.000+01:00

The boss has been letting me work on gesture recognition at work. I added to the self simplifying line so it accounts for when the user changes their drawing speed (just interpolate on the big gaps). This confuses the neural net less. But because my boss was greedy for more shapes I found other ways to recognise shapes heuristically.

Does the line cross over itself once? You've drawn a loop.
Does the line cross over itself twice? You've drawn a figure eight.
Is there low variance between angles along the line? You've drawn a straight line.
Is the starting point a short distance from the end point? You've drawn a circle (note that you have to force it to fail when someone draws a shape too small - otherwise just clicking the mouse is always a circle).
None of the above? Let's hand it over to the neural net and see if we've got some other shape here.

So okay - you can get away with some really poor drawing, but what's great about this is that you can get away with some really poor drawing! A game needs the feel that you lost because you're bad at the game, not because the programmer didn't make the effort to make gameplay comfortable. I'll link to this game if and when it comes out.
