Updated libhex, incorporating improvements implemented during the lisp game jam. Namely introducing iterators that let you do things like depth/breadth first search and a star path-finding.
I'm in the process of reworking the docs, but the examples should get you started.
working on a simple library in lua that lets you manage your game loop as data, based on events triggering function calls under specific conditions. it's meant to especially simplify making games with complicated game states, like rpgs. #IndieGames #GameDev #love2d
to frustrate players even more, some NPCs in "Schifahren" will call hero names that will stick on the HUD #schifahren game #picolove #pico8 #love2d #gamedev #screenshotsunday
Fixed a bug where the width of an intermediate canvas was too wide for some gpus, and now the game runs in the mobile browser! Everything works except camera movment (need to figure that out)
I am seeing some odd artifacting I need to figure out.
iPad game development is here for real now. Love2D and now Xogot(!) from @Migueldeicaza both work great with @WorkingCopy to seamlessly move to/from Mac/PC & iPad.
Hopefully, the rumored iPadOS 19 improvements will make external monitor + keyboard/mouse usabiltity less baffling.
(BTW, if you don't need Mac/PC, Codea from @simsaens has been native on iPad all along...)
Here is a new #Introduction post following my migration to mastodon.gamedev.place.
I'm a hobby game dev, musician, artist, and a professional research scientist in molecular biology.
I have released a #Love2D game called Dicey Poker (downloaded 25 times over at https://ethinethin.itch.io/diceypoker). I am also working on a vintage computer simulator, heavily based on the PDP-8, the source code of which is on my github.
"Schifahren" will feature more than just the Alps #schifahren game #picolove #pico8 #love2d #gamedev #screenshotsunday

A while ago I learned that Balatro is made in a fun game engine called #love2d, which turns out to be quite the cross-platform beast.
This of course meant I had no choice but to run it on my #linuxmobile phone running #postmarketos and #plasmamobile
Runs at a locked 60fps on my OnePlus 6T and plays really well besides needing some persuasion to accept screen rotation!
No movie magic, no translation layers, no virtual machines.
I'm going to do the art part next week

Wednesday is my #DaddyDay (mom is working and I'm not so I can play with my son), but now he's getting used to primary school joining half days there. Weird stuff, but it did give me time to make some refactoring adjustments to the job system of my game. If-else if-else-stuff is replaced by a for loop over a table (that's what arrays are called in lua) pretty happy with that as a start.
fast forward of 10 glocks vs 10 shotguns combat to assess the gun stats

It's always.... nice... to find out that when you, the non-mathematician are trying to get a world space position when you only have a view port position, the very library you use to get in this mess also has a function that does just that. And now the evening is almost over. But I got it working!
