Logic World Wednesdays: The Colorful Edition
This week Ive been working on a menu that lets you choose colors! It will be a sub-menu in many different higher-level menus. Currently you can use it to change the color of circuit boards, buttons, and switches. Check it out: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aYP0pURAjFs
This week Ive been making improvements to Logic Worlds graphics. The game now not only looks better, but it runs faster as well. Lightweight Render Pipeline Logic World is a 3D game, but its 3D world is displayed on your 2D screen. A Render Pipeline is a library of code which takes that 3D data about the world and converts it to a 2D image to be displayed on your screen. Previously, Logic World was using Unitys built-in render pipeline, but this week Ive ported it to a new pipeline called the Lightweight Render Pipeline or LWRP. I did this for two reasons:
Not only do the new outlines look better, but they can also be any color now. The previous system was limited to only three colors. Now that that restriction has been lifted, we have much more freedom, and can communicate the meaning of an outline with more flexibility. Video Ive made a short video that shows off our new rendering setup and what each layer of the rendering stack adds. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z2qQ596gM7s
Now theres a bell in the top right side of the navbar in logicworld.net. It will light up whenever you get a notification! Youll also be able to see the details of each notification if you click on it! This bell will only be visible when youre logged in. Currently you only get notifications when someone replies to your post or comment, but in the future youll get a notification when someone @mentions you in a comment or post, and youll be able to subscribe to a thread and get a notification when a new comment is posted!
Previously, youd get an email whenever someone replied to your post or comment. This is great except for the fact that you cant choose whether or not to receive them, thats why now theres another column in the Account Settings page that allows you to enable and disable web and email notifications for each type of notification (currently only replies).
Ive made rotating big components more fluid and intuitive. Previously they would always be rotated around their corners, but now they are rotated around whichever point youre looking at. This is kind of hard to describe with words, so heres a video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D1MocWQzV4s
Ive finally added a friends list to the game, which will show you the name of every one of your friends, as well as their profile picture and their current status! Heres what it looks like currently:
Keep in mind this is really WIP as of now (as can be seen by the white profile picture). This menu will be used for various things related to multiplayer games, like inviting people to your singleplayer game and playing challenge packs with friends. --------------------------------------------- If youd like to receive an email each time we post one of these blogs, you can sign up for our newsletter.

Welcome back to another Logic World Wednesday! Before we begin, wed like to share that this week Logic World surpassed 2,000 wishlists on Steam. Thanks everybody!
Colors! - Jimmy
This week Ive been working on a menu that lets you choose colors! It will be a sub-menu in many different higher-level menus. Currently you can use it to change the color of circuit boards, buttons, and switches. Check it out: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aYP0pURAjFs
Graphics Improvements - Jimmy
This week Ive been making improvements to Logic Worlds graphics. The game now not only looks better, but it runs faster as well. Lightweight Render Pipeline Logic World is a 3D game, but its 3D world is displayed on your 2D screen. A Render Pipeline is a library of code which takes that 3D data about the world and converts it to a 2D image to be displayed on your screen. Previously, Logic World was using Unitys built-in render pipeline, but this week Ive ported it to a new pipeline called the Lightweight Render Pipeline or LWRP. I did this for two reasons:
- Performance. LWRP is built to be as fast as possible. Its missing some advanced features - such as realtime global illumination and detail maps - but Logic World is not a realistic looking game so we dont need realistic rendering.
- Modernity. Unity is moving away from its old built-in render pipeline and will eventually deprecate it entirely. By using one of the modern render pipelines, we ensure that well always have access to the newest and fanciest rendering tech.
Not only do the new outlines look better, but they can also be any color now. The previous system was limited to only three colors. Now that that restriction has been lifted, we have much more freedom, and can communicate the meaning of an outline with more flexibility. Video Ive made a short video that shows off our new rendering setup and what each layer of the rendering stack adds. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z2qQ596gM7s

Better notification settings - Felipe

Big Component Rotation - Jimmy
