This is basically how it went:

* [[Elaborate color explanation]]
# While playing with chatbot code I found that sensors screwed up at borders. I visualized it with basic colored OpenGL lines, and it looked sort of like lighting. It was very slow due to the large number of sensors.
+
* Fighting an endless stream of spammers. Like some video games where an endless stream of enemies is generated, until you hit some magic switch that makes absolutely no sense, except there is no switch.
# z-man made headlights based on it. It performed much better, but still wasn't exactly fast. The lighting was also still as unrealistic.
+
** In the past 24 hours (before 2007-06-22T22:22Z[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO_8601]) I reverted two spam edits within a minute. No, I don't check the wiki insanely regularly; just had some luck in how times coincided.
# I wrote a little fragment program for more realistic lighting, used a triangle fan instead of lines, and reduced the number of sensors further. Performance is now often acceptable, and it looks much better.
+
*** Make that three! A spammer spammed it ''one second'' after a revert, and 27 seconds afterwards it was back to normal again.

Things I've coded for Armagetron

Significant wiki contributions

  • Elaborate color explanation
  • Fighting an endless stream of spammers. Like some video games where an endless stream of enemies is generated, until you hit some magic switch that makes absolutely no sense, except there is no switch.
    • In the past 24 hours (before 2007-06-22T22:22Z[1]) I reverted two spam edits within a minute. No, I don't check the wiki insanely regularly; just had some luck in how times coincided.
      • Make that three! A spammer spammed it one second after a revert, and 27 seconds afterwards it was back to normal again.
