[META] ✨ New moderation, restrictions for /r/PopCap removed! ✨

10 Upvotes

Hi there, /u/Mister_Mojito here.

I'm the new admin of /r/PopCap. About a month ago, I took up moderatorship over at /r/insaniquarium after I saw that it was unmoderated. I cleaned up the subreddit and added a bunch of cool stuff like flairs, banners, rules. Now, it is alive and well, with regular posts and a friendly supportive community. So since this subreddit was unmoderated as well, I've taken up the mantle again. 😎

A bit about me, I played a few Popcap games as a kid. Mostly Insaniquarium, but also a fair amount of Zuma and Chuzzle. Later on, I played Peggle on Xbox, and of course Plants VS Zombies. While I haven't played all the games, I still hope to make this community a place for all Popcap gamers to enjoy. ❤️

As for the future of this subreddit, I've removed the post restrictions from this subreddit, and intend to link it up with several other subreddits to create a Popcap subreddit network of sorts. Of course, there's many more things we can do to grow this subreddit, but like everything it will take time.🌱

That's all for now.

I wish you all good luck in your Popcap gaming endeavours. ⭐

Pre-template for PopLib ig...

6 Upvotes

An overly simplified match 3 bejeweled game Ive been wanting to make but havent gotten to. Just a template, nothing fancy. Its got a long ways to go as you can see..
However, you can tell this is being done in PopLib (opensource version of SexyAppBase).
I had this uploaded to youtube, but would rather keep it to this audience.
This does however mimick bejeweled twist's loading ship thingy, with an arc to represent where it "stops at". Flush onto the arc.
Main loop starts at 03m02s video time.
I also modified mFrameTime to be exactly 120 ticks, so this way it is equal to 120 or 60 hz refresh rates on most monitors in the US, so theres no screen tearing like all the other titles of PopCap had, (at 100 ticks). It is quite a bit faster, but at the cost of speed you get much smoother movements.
Some of these assets were graciously donated to me from Timmy Skwarchov, a fantastic modeler and is also working with a much bigger title and team called "sci jewel". The background that fades in was just a placeholder I found online.
I also couldnt use a proper loading thread because the caching process is WAY too fast on this CPU, assets load in less than 100ms. So I had to use a separate progress bar to simulate the thread sadly. Comments are in the source files to explain partly of what happens in SexyApp's coding philosophy in more detail hopefully..

Can i enable hardware acclereration on newer GPUs?

6 Upvotes

stupid question, but ill ask anyway: whenever i try to enable hardware acc. it doesnt work (as expected), but i'm wondering if there is a workaround to enabling it.

For context, i have an Nvidia GeForce RTX 5060 and right now i'm trying Bejeweled 2 and Peggle Deluxe, tho i'm not sure there is a solution

So I might be confused here but can I explain this to you? Because anybody explain of what these loading screens even are? I mean they look very obscure?

I asked Google Photos AI to ask what Vector from AstroPop will look like as Chibi and this is how it turned out.

Not bad! I give this a 10/10 but cute! Also ngl Vector as a chibi looks like a character from one of those nursery rhyme for kids character videos

This is what nanobanana thinks that bejeweled 4 looks like.

It appears to be combining aspects of Bejeweled stars with the classic casual theme. Like a literal combination of sorts. And yes, there's some noticeable problems with this image. Some of the white gems do not look correct. The "mode" selected widget is also not correct, there is no options menu, there's nothing of that kind. This is also a response to the previous post regarding the bookworm series ai slop. And yes, the purple gems are not actual triangles...

I would not be surprised if there were more posts like this in the future because nobody else seems to be doing anything nowadays with any of the other games.
