God I feel like a math tard atm. I was working on a small get well gift for PSPdeamon but I can't solve a simple math issue. Mostly I have a 2D norm vector for a direction to slice from and if the ray starts from the center of a image. I need to find out the x,y location where the ray would colide with the box. I don't get why this gives me such trouble since i can rule out that if the vector x is less then 0.5 then its a vertical slash. I have a simple formula but it seems all over the place and only sometimes accurate. I know i could just go the line intersect route but god there has to be a supidly simple method to find out where it would colide (i need that info to create the verticies).
oh well, i should probably write a dos app to test the math so i could debug it but i'm a little lazy.
oh on the side i'm writing a small demo to experiment with stencil buffers. I wanted to do portals lite but the math is too much for me to figure out in my little spare time. I have another idea which sounds awsome on first though but now i'm not so sure if it would actualy work out to be fun and not just a visual tech demo. :/
So how is my gaming life? Going well so far. Still waiting on silent hill which should be avalible this week. I played some more castlevania and found more stuff (the 2nd maiden, more songs). I even beat dracula today to only find out I now have to find and beat ghost shaft to get the real ending. GRRRRR (where the hell is the bastard). From that I did a little starting up on disgaea. I did the first three tutorial missions. I really want to hold off on this game till xmas so I think I will throw it into my desk at work and bring home some games I have not finished (like killzone & field commander).
P.S., I'm gonna keep posting in this topic till it hits 100 then move onto a clean topic.
