Also please tell me what that music is!

[sharperguy]

Oh god I love lambda functions. I've been programming in python for years and didn't realize it had them.

MAKE THIS OPEN SOURCE!

Why in Darwin's name are you using Nano? -_-

[chrismofer]

i want to do this in batch programs for a loading screen, is there any way you could send me the individual frames for just a spin in actuall charactors and not a picture?

thanks.

damn man! just stumbled upon this! Amazing music! And lovely haskell thingy you got there! got me all fired up! :D i hope to find your songs somewhere!? :D

[VIPSTARHinaichigo]

@bitmefool Thanks! :3 I have a couple of releases up at foldplop . com. You can also find a few tracks released at demo parties (including Lambda Fantasy) by going to scene . org and entering "foldplop" or "cross dressing robots" into the search box.

[TheSum1005]

oh my god, cross dressing robots

[CallumBGood]

Incredible! I would love to see how you worked out the characters screen co-ordinate based on its distance from your view position. Did you manually create some sort of a depth buffer?

[VIPSTARHinaichigo]

@CallumBGood I wrote this before having properly studied computer graphics and used some kind of odd scaling formula that breaks in many corner cases. The standard way would be to apply a perspective projection from 3D to 2D. Since this is just a simple wireframe rendering without culling of invisible faces, there's no depth buffering going on.

GO HASKELL!!!

[EvanCRCD]

This is quite impressive. Also I really liked the music.

[Zergblender]

This specific song, Lambda Fantasy. Where excactly is it on your soundclick page? I really like it.

[RaminHAL9001]

I cant believe you use Nano to edit code (indenting by hand?!?!?). You need to learn how to use vim, man.

[VIPSTARHinaichigo]

It was just for the purpose of this video, to keep everything in one window. I normally use TextMate.

[MRburitz]

I love ur music bro. I just sit here all day listening to it

[VIPSTARHinaichigo]

Thanks! Glad you like it. :)

[MRburitz]

can you make more songs like this?? they are so good man.

[VIPSTARHinaichigo]

Check out my website (it's in my profile, can't put a link here or youtube will think I'm spamming). There's some stuff on the soundclick page linked there, and more coming soon.

[gsibnicanac]

WOW.....very nice ! great !!!

[aisbaa]

awesome

p.s. you should implement symbol depth..

let say # is closest and . is farthest..

[ZacharySarver]

That was awesome.

[Lazy0Waffle]

Orgasmic.

[blytqb]

i'm into learning haskell, i'm sure this video will help me not giving up, soon or later :)

very good man

[Ordog163]
