I'm on a train and the person next to me was following the train route on maps. 5 minutes later I see him looking at the African continent.
I hope I got on the correct train.

I have been waiting for somebody to make a c# wrapper for clay. But I don't see it happening and I need UI. So now I'm delving back in the world of dllimport. Wish me luck

Creating an micro game engine is fun cause it makes me ask questions like:
"do I really need a hierarchical scene graph" and try to find a good solution for 5 days.
All because you want to attach an entity to another entity

LETS GOO!! I was mixing array indexes.
Imagine the possibilities with this :]
Also, future me is going to hate level designing these. I have done ~some~ level bending puzzle design before and its always turned into a 6D paper drawing.
#gamedev and stuff

Getting this time looping has taken me some time. but I have it!
Now items and original input are correctly transferred in time even if a snake gets stopped.
Going backwards is broken again but that's next and then I have my full input controls.

I have been looking at this ascii entity-id version of my levels for the last 5 days because I'm building a save and load system.
Needless to say, I'm going insane.

I have now created snake, but you can also reverse at which point you shrink again. So, I kind of also created the beginning of a Sokoban/Puzzle game.

I'm trying to build my C# simulation/game engine (Vermin) to have full determinism. So, today I have added some Roslyn analyzers that will help me along the way.
This will help me differentiate and force me to consider determinism for every method I make.

Today I went from barley rendering 100 individual sprites at ~2 fps to being able to render ~280k individual sprites at 20fps.
It has been a trip through sorting, unsafe dictionary access, and preprocessing data. But now, finally I have reached a point where the bottleneck is drawing them.

2 months ago I got a notification that said I was the top 5% of twenty one pilots listeners. It made me ask the question. How high can I go?
I think Im going to tap out at 0.02% it became a chore hha

TIL that float rounding does not work like I thought it does. `x.5` will round to the closest even number, not just ceil.

What's weirder?
Buying a tree and then the christmass decoration
Or first buying decoration and then the tree.
How do I know I have enough lights without a tree and why would I need all those lights with a tree
