LÖVE

Took this : https://github.com/Syntopia/Fragmentari ... unsky.frag
and made it somewhat interactive.

More updates coming soon.

Screenshot folder is located in %appdata%/roaming/LOVE

No it's not; It's in %appdata%/roaming/LOVE/Sky Model.

Good to know that löve sets the identity from the window title though.

I really wanted to try this out, but sadly it doesn't run on my computer. Probably due to unsupported shaders, the window just closes down as soon as I launch it.
I like the idea behind a procedural day/night cycle and I see a lot of variables going into this so that's a good start. Moreover I would love to a see version that doesn't use shaders, but that would be even harder.
Also, I'd like to note something that looks kind of strange. In the second screenshot, the entire horizon has a uniform red glow to it yet the sun is really small so the combination of these two factors looks kind of weird. In reality, the red/orange glow should be around the sun and would never take up more than 180 degrees of the entire 360 horizon. Additionally some sort of curvature would be great too - possibly defined by the observer's altitude.
Either way, I really like the idea behind this so good work!

Hmm weird.. no error message?

A Shaderless version wouldn't be that difficult, i've already wrote a vector library but it would be extremely slow.

You're probably right, but I don't really understand the source code yet, just ported it . When I do understand it I will try to fix that!

The shaders purpose is a ground-level skymodel so I'll probably won't add this, but it's definitely something to keep in mind.

Thanks .
