Live by the Force

Just some messing around with plotting out the surface of a sphere using the mouse X/Y. I'm not getting a whole sphere at the moment though. (Also, this vid is MPEG4 since DivX didn't want to encode it)

It's the all request video hour and this download goes out to Quib Mask. (DivX 6.)

This vid shows the saber colliding. Each red 'dot' that is left behind is the registered position that the saber hit. (DivX 6)

This is quite early, but shows the basic concept of blade glow/pulsating. (DivX 6)

Somewhere between the last screenshot of the saber I posted and now, I coded in the swing motion for vertical strikes. (DivX 6)

My IK code at it's finest! (DivX 6)

After a month of tweaking this stuff left and right, it no longer locks up. And to boot I squashed a bug which wouldn't let the arm rotate 360 degrees. (DivX 6.0)

This vid shows the IK code in a while loop, making the arm move to it's destination instantly. (DivX 6)

The second vid of Inverse Kinematics working, this time the forearm moves faster than the shoulder, showing how well it all works. (DivX 6)

I've implemented a 2d algorithm for inverse kinematics, having a point to move a jointed structure to, and making that structure bend to reach that point. (DivX 6)

This shows both arms now working. (DivX 6)

This shows off the new code, with keyframed arm pieces, working with JKE. (DivX 6)

I've had to go back and perfect my old arms code before diving any further. Here's what I have so far, a few bugs to iron out though. DivX6.0 required to view.

Shows the arms linked together and moving around the player. (DivX 6.0)

Shows wall walking and JO/JA style force jump. (DivX 6.0)

Shows the extend of saber hand movement, and how moving to the edge of the screen makes the player turn. (DivX 6.0)

This vid showcases the basic movement for saber pitch and yaw. If you reach the max yaw, you will turn.

This vid shows wall walking and the new jump button/force jump. ( Note: The last wall-walk should NOT have happened. I know why it happened, so don't bother telling me about it =P )

This vid shows the key trapping cog working. Incidentally, it also makes the current code for the arms operate the way that I want them to, when I'm finally finished coding in basics.
