#gameDev #devLog Current Projects:

1. Top down puzzle game in #godotEngine. I'll be releasing tutorials in PDF form for my patreon supporters as we go.

2. Video on David Ahl's BASIC books. Will endeavor to release a browser playable BASIC game.

3. An 80s-movie themed #InteractiveFiction serial.

in which I write a "map editor" that's just the McCLIM formatting-table macro like it says on the back of the box.

(Dynamically resizing rows and columns of) symbols for now, I'll do images (named by the symbols) later.

I also briefly describe c. 2005 LAN parties in the context of WC3 being where I first heard the words "map editor" decades before I knew about computers.

I'll improve the webpage sudoku formatting after the interview with Larian coming up in an hour ( https://anonradio.net:8443/anonradio )

as mentioned before, my C codegen produces only defines, and an included header "executes" them through cpp, generating the code.

this works splendidly well, except for one thing: #line statements. can't generate them this way. they are also woefully incomplete: can't even specify a column that goes with the line.

the best solution would be a C attrib that fixes this. since it doesn't exist, i'll need an extra `sed` pass just for this. :-/

Tiny Kingdoms is a peaceful building game where you draw packs of cards to place new tiles and grow your kingdom.

In writing this book about dungeon archaeology, I find myself really tickled by the idea of fantasy elements that are considered archaic by the ‘current’ fantasy world.

Stones enchanted to translate dead languages.
Amulets protecting against now-extinct entities.
Esoteric charms that survived by spellbook palimpsest.
Religious relics for gods that disappeared.

Here's a breakdown of July's first PDF tutorial, covering basic 2d platformer jump mechanics. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W38fPLNAecA #godotEngine #gameDev #devLog

July's first PDF tutorial covering basic jump mechanics in the #godotEngine has been released for $5+ patrons. In it you will build a vertical platformer with a component based architecture. The game is simple, because its function is to illustrate the single mechanic and loop in a common context.

Really just a devlog! I slapped a #mcclim #gui onto my simulation so that I could click a button rather than type actions over and over again.

Then, I really just figured out that one simple-starting-arrangement idea I had doesn't work, because the only vertical move that gets triggered is from the lowest row of a tile to the highest row of the same tile.

Small "improvements".

Devo dire che l'aver disinstallato Instagram è stato una manna per la gestione del tempo, tanto che mi sono rimesso un po' a smanettare con certa roba dopo secoli (roba che probabilmente finirà di nuovo in soffitta ma almeno mi aiuta ad imparare qualcosa )

In ogni caso, Love2D è meraviglioso - d'altronde c'hanno fatto Balatro
