What are you working on currently? (2020)

Made a cool little discord bot that gives users a Nitro chat tag in-game if they have nitro boosted my discord server.

It checks whether the user who used the command has boosted the server and proceeds to give the chat tag to their roblox username

This is my first game I have ever made related to games like Murder Mystery or Assassin, in which the pets that are given multiplies or “boosts” your coins/exp given.

(This game is only in beta, possibly alpha, but hope to add more things soon!)

Time to create: 8 months (with very few devs in which I could hire on here, but don’t have the necessary funds to do so.)

Also, with the update you are able to exchange fireworks collected during rounds for keys in which you can open the Event cases that way!

A new modern house Im making, Im blurring it to prevent spoiler alert!
Not done yet!

Ill do a full post of the completed house version on the day I fully complete it!

Promise it will be without blur!

I’ve recently started modelling on blender and I’m slowly improving

KnownMonarch · January 3, 2020, 10:32pm

Looks good! I hope to see your work in a game eventually!

I was hoping to ship that by the end of February of last year… and I just didn’t.
Due to some other projects I wanted to work on, I needed to rewrite the system from scratch. Still far from working on the new version of the plugin to make public, but I have made some good progress.

Some new features I have implemented are:

Adding setup and teardown function calls
Skipping tests

--[[
Tests the Skip method in Setup.
--]]
NexusUnitTesting:RegisterUnitTest("SkipInSetup",function(UnitTest)
	--Create the component under testing.
	local CuT = UnitTestClass.new("TestName")
	
	--Set up the methods.
	local SetupRun,TestRun,TeardownRun = false,false,false
	function CuT:Setup()
		SetupRun = true
		UnitTest:AssertEquals(self.State,NexusUnitTestingProject.TestState.InProgress)
		UnitTest:AssertEquals(self.CombinedState,NexusUnitTestingProject.TestState.InProgress)
		self:Skip()
		error("Test continued")
	end
	
	function CuT:Run()
		TestRun = true
	end
	
	function CuT:Teardown()
		TeardownRun = true
	end
	
	--Run the test and assert the states are correct.
	UnitTest:AssertEquals(CuT.State,NexusUnitTestingProject.TestState.NotRun,"Test initially not run.")
	UnitTest:AssertEquals(CuT.CombinedState,NexusUnitTestingProject.TestState.NotRun,"Test initially not run.")
	CuT:RunTest()
	UnitTest:AssertEquals(CuT.State,NexusUnitTestingProject.TestState.Skipped,"Test not skipped.")
	UnitTest:AssertEquals(CuT.CombinedState,NexusUnitTestingProject.TestState.Skipped,"Test not skipped.")
	UnitTest:AssertTrue(SetupRun,"Setup not ran.")
	UnitTest:AssertFalse(TestRun,"Test ran.")
	UnitTest:AssertFalse(TeardownRun,"Teardown ran.")
end)

-Better asserting of errors being thrown.

--[[
Tests the AssertErrors method.
--]]
NexusUnitTesting:RegisterUnitTest("AssertErrors",function(UnitTest)
	--Create the component under testing.
	local CuT = UnitTestClass.new("TestName")
	CuT:SetSetup(function(UnitTest)
		UnitTest:AssertErrors(function() error("Test error") end):Contains("Test"):Contains("error"):NotContains("something else"):NotEquals("something else")
	end)
	
	--Run the test and assert it passes.
	UnitTest:AssertEquals(CuT.State,NexusUnitTestingProject.TestState.NotRun,"Test initially not run.")
	UnitTest:AssertEquals(CuT.CombinedState,NexusUnitTestingProject.TestState.NotRun,"Test initially not run.")
	CuT:RunTest()
	UnitTest:AssertEquals(CuT.State,NexusUnitTestingProject.TestState.Passed,"Test not passed.")
	UnitTest:AssertEquals(CuT.CombinedState,NexusUnitTestingProject.TestState.Passed,"Test not passed.")
end)

Nested tests

--[[
Tests the RunSubtests method without a failure.
--]]
NexusUnitTesting:RegisterUnitTest("RunSubtestsNoFailure",function(UnitTest)
	--Create the component under testing.
	local CuT1 = UnitTestClass.new("TestName1")
	local CuT2 = UnitTestClass.new("TestName2"):SetSetup(function() UnitTest:AssertEquals(CuT1.CombinedState,NexusUnitTestingProject.TestState.InProgress) end)
	local CuT3 = UnitTestClass.new("TestName3"):SetSetup(function() UnitTest:AssertEquals(CuT1.CombinedState,NexusUnitTestingProject.TestState.InProgress) end)
	CuT1:RegisterUnitTest(CuT2)
	CuT2:RegisterUnitTest(CuT3)
	
	--Run the subtests and assert the state is correct.
	CuT1.State = NexusUnitTestingProject.TestState.Passed
	UnitTest:AssertEquals(CuT1.CombinedState,NexusUnitTestingProject.TestState.Passed,"Test state not correct.")
	CuT1:RunSubtests()
	UnitTest:AssertEquals(CuT1.CombinedState,NexusUnitTestingProject.TestState.Passed,"Test state not correct.")
	UnitTest:AssertEquals(CuT2.State,NexusUnitTestingProject.TestState.Passed,"Test state not correct.")
	UnitTest:AssertEquals(CuT2.CombinedState,NexusUnitTestingProject.TestState.Passed,"Test state not correct.")
	UnitTest:AssertEquals(CuT3.State,NexusUnitTestingProject.TestState.Passed,"Test state not correct.")
	UnitTest:AssertEquals(CuT3.CombinedState,NexusUnitTestingProject.TestState.Passed,"Test state not correct.")
end)

Catching of stack overflow errors

--[[
Tests a stack overflow error being thrown.
--]]
NexusUnitTesting:RegisterUnitTest("StackOverflow",function(UnitTest)
	--Method that throws stack overflow.
	local function StackOverflow()
		StackOverflow()
	end
	
	--Call yxpcall with arguments.
	local CalledError,CalledStackTrace
	local Worked = yxpcall(function()
		StackOverflow()
	end,function(Error,StackTrace)
		CalledError,CalledStackTrace = Error,StackTrace
	end)
	
	--Assert the results are correct.
	UnitTest:AssertFalse(Worked,"Worked result is incorrect.")
	UnitTest:AssertNotNil(string.find(CalledError,"stack overflow"),"Error message doesn't contain stack overflow.")
	UnitTest:AssertNotNil(string.find(CalledStackTrace,"yxpcallTests"),"Error stack trace doesn't contain the script.")
	UnitTest:AssertNotNil(string.find(CalledStackTrace,"StackOverflow"),"Error stack trace doesn't contain the function name.")
	UnitTest:AssertTrue(#CalledStackTrace > 50000,"Stack trace isn't \"long\" ("..tostring(#CalledStackTrace).." < 50000 characters).")
end)

All of the code samples from above are tests used to test the new framework. The tests all pass, and should still work with the new version.
No ETA for a release of the plugin. Hoping to get the framework out by the end of next week.

Made a experimental Hole in Gui/Negative GUI thing( don’t know if it’s cool or useful, but why not), it has some issues, but with alot of experimental stuff( at least for me) there is bound to be some :

For those wondering this is made using the Deuluany triangulation algorithm and a couple other methods to go along with it(Point in Polygon(2d “raycasting”) , Clockwise vertex/vector sorting).

(btw it with works with any number of points, not just four, so theoretically circular holes can be made or really any shape)

The triangulation makes triangles that perfectly fit and surround within the bounds in the Hole, then the Centroid of each triangle is found to check whether the triangle is in the hole, indicating that it needs to be hidden

Trying to make some good looking lightsabers.

AviaGabb · January 4, 2020, 11:23am

Looking really good, What ligtsabers are you basing on, Star wars, artificial lightsabers or other?

nikolozdotart · January 4, 2020, 11:25am

Thank you, I’m basing on Star Wars lightsabers.

AviaGabb · January 4, 2020, 11:26am

Makes me wanna go skiing, very creative , modern, I am kinda curious, what did you use? (ie: Archimedes (ROBLOX Plugin), Blender or other)

AviaGabb · January 4, 2020, 11:30am

Nice, I might have a go making lightsabers in the future when I am capable on blender, I am learning blender, I mostly build with roblox parts!

nikolozdotart · January 4, 2020, 11:32am

Same, I am used to roblox parts and most things I make are made from just roblox parts.
Good luck with making lightsabers

AviaGabb · January 4, 2020, 11:32am

Im gonna learn! I am learning 3D modelling slowly, It might take a long time to get the hang of it.

I’m working on a game called Blacklands, an open world survival game that’s like battlegrounds.

FIorentius · January 4, 2020, 6:15pm

Trying to make a quite realistic conifer forest. This is a prototype. I have lots of other models i can use,including: bushes,flowers,smaller pine trees,deciduous trees,saplings,etc. All are modified free models (mostly hollow’s mesh tree packs).

Naperin · January 4, 2020, 6:52pm

I have finally opened Blender again after many months when I did it for the first time. And I tried to make another hat. This time it’s called Temple Guardian.

Archimedes, Blender and studio xD
