Day 196 - finished the edge detection piece so now you can't drop blocks along the top or side edges. Next I need to actually add in the checker for dropping the blocks so you can't drop onto a slot that already has a block in it.

Day 195 - I redid the slot detection to be on the block itself. now the block will only activate the slots directly under it. I also added in snapping and some basic sound effects but I forgot to turn on sound in the recording, so you'll have to wait lol

Day 194 - pretty colors. each slot can now tell if it is under a block. I think it would be better to have the block tell the slot if it is under, since as you can see in the clip you can have multiple slots under the block.

Day 192 - definitely was in a rut, starting a mini project to remake one of those block puzzle games. Not sure how to approach the grid snapping tbh but here's what I have so far.

Day 186 - Making good progress, the card scene is done (for now), all hooked up to the unit stats so the cards auto populate all of the info and visuals when created. Next up is drawing cards into a player hand.

Day 185 - still working on transferring the card system, having to change a bit. So far so good. Instead I'll share this small chart I made to visualize how the targeting code will work for spells - Check for target type, target amount, target group(s).

Day 181 - Started mocking up the card look. This is very generic (still using the course art) but it's in the right direction. I want the cards to be art heavy, with a pop out that includes the stats on hover.

Day 168 - unfortunately ran into an apparent bug with the TileMapLayer which has halted my progress. It is looking for tiles outside of the TileSet and I can't figure out how to stop it.
I replaced the TileSet and manually set the tiles but no dice.

Day 167 - Starting Season 2 of the course, starting with some bug fixing. If you lined up units like this the health bars would be under the unit above, so I increased the z index for the unit UI. I also changed it to mouse:ignore to get the unit behind.

There's still much to improve but this is already more resilient than before.
(also today is light mode~)

I was trying to change the bg color of the trait ui panel when active but I had some trouble figuring out how to get the stylebox even after looking back at how it was done in the unit cards.
