A bit of Sunday fun. My smooth transitions from graph to world didn't work as well once the world had elevation, because the positions of things would no longer line up. I've fixed that by scaling* the world up vertically as part of the transition.
*Actually messing with the camera matrix.

Adding heights to the landscape adds a lot to the feel of these little puzzle levels, and I'm happy with how the procedural terrain turned out. It feels more and more like a proper game.

The graphics in Coven of the Chicken Foot look incredibly well put together. Not easy to get this kind of art style looking so right in 3D. store.steampowered.com/app/3041680/...

Improved my precipitation algorithm - now it doesn't always rain, but only when water vapour content is above threshold - which means I can visualize clouds! Honestly I didn't expect it to look THAT realistic 🤩

Whenever I use @desmos.com I find myself really wishing it had a mode that allowed multi-character variable names. Yes, it would make it impossible to multiply without a multiply sign, but I would gladly make that trade. I can't remember the meaning of 6+ arbitrary letters in my head simultaneously!

Any good implementation info on replacement grammars (for graphs, not strings)?
Good conceptual info by @jorisdormans.bsky.social, but I'm missing: Good data structures for graphs and rule specification; good algorithms for identifying sub-graphs and applying the rules. Ideally with pseudo code.

Recently finished Wheel World. I don't normally play racing games but I loved breezing around on my bike in the little open world of this game, popping into races, enjoying the scenery while virtually feeling the wind in my hair. Plus puns and great soundtrack.

While researching maps where scrolling is a side effect of cursor movement, I noticed that the Breath of the Wild map has an odd dual behavior.
If you scroll from a stand-still, the cursor remains dead-center in the screen. But if you zoom *while* moving, the scrolling goes into a trailing mode!
