Slurdge

A family of bunnies, who all have wings, watch as the smallest bunny lifts off the ground for the first time. In the background, other bunnies fly on their wings through a blue sky. The bunnies applaud the smaller bunny's first flight

Daily bunny no.3208 just learning to fly

Bunnies look at pine trees in a forest, perhaps looking for a Christmas tree. They are surprised to notice that one o the trees has a nest of birds in it, who are busily decorating their own Christmas tree in the center of their nest. The bird tree is inexplicably smaller than a normal tree.

Daily bunny no.3190 will find a different tree

The trick was to use assets to upscale seamlessly

Daniel @ZONEofTECH Ahhh…this is…not good. My Samsung Galaxy Ring’s battery started swelling. While it’s on my finger 😬. And while I’m about to board a flight 😬 Now I cannot take it off and this thing hurts. Any quick suggestions @SamsungUK @SamsungMobileUS ? photo of side of ring showing swollen battery and photo of swollen red finger with the ring on

....i didn't realize this sort of thing was going on.....

i recommend *not* wearing a titanium ring with a lithium battery in it ?? and if it starts to swell while you're wearing it to absolutely not get on a plane ???

A picture showing the Domain Reload option

By the way, _always_ untick domain reload if you can afford if Unity, it saves hours !

I tried Reddit, StackOverflow, Unity forums, no answers.
In the end the "solution" is simple: you have to create a _new_ async void function on the top level, that will do a await Task.WhenAll(allTasks...) then an domain reload.
Works like a charm ! I can fire 30 downloads and then have everything !

Took me a while, but at last I can fire multiple async from Unity UI _and_ domain reload after. I tried almost everything, delegates, ContinueWith, even Unity Events that I would try to fire within the Editor... but domain wouldn't reload.
#unity #gamedev #indiedev

Well, fellow #unity #gamedev, do _not_ attempt to save the AssetDatabase and then exit Unity ! Unity will happily do the two things together and fail, sometimes. You'll have a random crash... (at least in my Unity version, which is 2022.Y)

I was resigned to do just that, but I had a hunch : Unity wasn't _happy_ about something, _after_ the compilation ended. It's when I saw this line:
```
EditorUtility.SetDirty(versionInfo);
AssetDatabase.SaveAssetIfDirty(versionInfo);
```

Yet another potential candidate: we _did_ update the shader in another package. Reverted that too.... Only to fail again after 5 or so compilations... This is were I would turn to bisecting, gradually pinpointing the culprit commit, but I would need to have 10+ compilation for each trial !!!

Immediate suspect was a package that used quite a lot of shaders : "ahah ! here is our culprit" did I thought. I removed the package, pushed... No crash. Cool ! But after ~10 compilations, it reappears ! That's the problem with random bugs: it is sooo difficult to know when they are fixed !

Sometimes it was Deallocate, but most of the time it was related to shader compilation. Of course, if we try it inside the Editor, the game builds fine. After, it builds fine here too... But Unity decides it doesn't want to live anymore after that and triggers a crash.

A list of successful and failing builds, depicted with a green tick and red cross, showing the randomness of the crash.

Alas, at some point, we had failure appearing. What was most enraging is that the build _did_ succeed, but reported failure because there was a crash inside Unity at the end:
```
Received signal SIGSEGV
Obtained 31 stack frames
0x00007ff66e81a360 (Unity) MemoryManager::Deallocate
```

Hey fellow #Unity devs, want a cool Heisenbug ? That's a bug that disappear as you try to study it. It was combined with a random appearance. I had a build farm with 3 computers that do automatic building of the Unity game through a command line script. #indiedev #gamdev #unity

So, as it happens, the windmills (plastic & wood) should have the same animation... But the plastic one was having a mysterious -4 in the position Y. This put the animation outside of the camera clipping plane and thus, the blades were disappearing.
Problem solved !
#indiedev #gamedev #apomme

Trying with 'video' as the gif is not playing

Video that exhibits a <redacted> bug with windmills in the game A Planet Of Mine Mastermine Edition

Can you spot the bug ? What's very strange is that the right windmill has the correct behaviour... #indiegamedev #gamedev
I do not have the solution yet so stay tuned !

As a side note, the subtle shade effect on the "non selectable" slots was subject to much debate and a 3 days optimization to make it invisible on the profiler (the shade has to be recomputed all the time when the buildings/view changes)

Still, adding a whole dependency to Wand as python package is a bit overkill... but whatever works.

with wand.image.Image(blob=stream.getvalue()) as wand_image: wand_image.resize(width=final_size[0], height=final_size[1], filter='hamming', blur=1) pil_image = Image.open(io.BytesIO(wand_image.make_blob("png"))) image = pil_image return image

As Pillow won't resize correctly the picture, we can ask another library to the rescue : imagemagick ! I know for a fact that their resizing algorithm gives good results...
By the way, why are we doing all that ? To have buttersmooth pixel perfect rounded corners that we can build with a script.

A picture showing a (0,0,0,0) pixel

A picture showing a (255,255,255,26) pixel

No such thing there. However, as soon as we ask Pillow to resize my picture (with any downscaler), this thing happens:
Next to the alpha white, a pure (alpha 0) black appears ! Why is that ? No idea. However the fix is not so simple.

A picture showing a pixel with a value of (255,255,255,0)

#gamedev This is something I thought would have been fixed ages ago, as it's a bug as old as time.
I generated a picture with transparency, almost white. In this case, a newbie mistake is to make the background (0,0,0,0) because: yes it's transparent, but if you scale it the "black" will bleed.

A bunny stands on the platform in the back of a traincar, as the train goes across the surface of a sea or ocean, the tracks visible just underneath the water. There are some fish next to the train, traveling in the opposite direction. It is dark out.
