I’m at that stage of the project where every time I boot it up I change the UI colours.

It's been a fun distration messing about with the Robotron sprites but it's time to get serious now!

Very slowly, I feel it's starting to come together. Little by little.

Fixed a big perf issue in #ERROR_PROTOCOL today by switching @godotengine.org’s physics engine to #joltphysics. There seems to be some problem with continuous collisions but I think that’s fixable by tweaking some of the Jolt options.

Anyone know how to create ASCII art diagrams for code comments - I'm trying to describe operations like this...

Any ideas? Is there a tool for drawing lines in stuff? @lorenschmidt.bsky.social maybe? You always have great comments 🤔

Lots of 3D maths in #ERROR_PROTOCOL. Having dynamic ‘Up’ certainly makes things interesting.

"They're coming outta the goddamn walls!"
A simple enemy steering behaviour has the enemies homing towards the player given some target radius.

Screenshow of a WIP FPS written in Godot. The image shows a debug view of the play area which is the inside of a bevelled cube. Various enemies approach the player. The game features a dynamic gravity system so enemies can spawn on floor, walls and ceilings.

Installed Rider on my home PC. I’ve dabbled occasionally at work but never stuck with it. But after watching this @godotengine.org talk at Godot Fest thought I’d give it another go.

This is Sektori! A twin-stick shooter I've been making (and documenting the journey) since April 2021. And it finally launched TODAY on Steam, PS5 and Xbox! Here's a fresh launch trailer, all shares highly appreciated. More game info in replies.

Progress is mainly refractoring junk code, moving stuff around to sensible locations and my favourite, deleting stuff :-)

The idea rattling round in my head is Robotron meets Ancipital.

Working on the entities.
SPLEENWEEVIL contains a bunch of hacky, quickly thrown together, 'my first Godot project' code.
And I've been fighting Godot since the beginning, trying to remain out of the editor and in Visual Studio as much as possible...
