Don't tell Microsoft about this one trick:
Despite being called Windows 11, you can actually open upwards of 12 windows at once.
I hope they don't patch out this critical oversight

Something so fun about seeing an exported sprite sheet in one image after drawing each frame individually.

A little gameboy game I made for the #gmtk gamejam. You have to swing around tree trunks and build up a score.
Try it here: icefish-software.itch.io/monkeying-ar...
Can you get to 10 points?

If anyone wants to be a hero in the JavaScript community, just make a new UI framework which functions like ImGui. You can save them from React

#gamedev pro tip:
Instead of hard-coding numbers in your program, you should have those values tuneable via a debug UI. This massively speeds up design iteration and will get your character feeling dialed in.
Here I am using ImGui.NET with some reflection to create sliders from fields in a struct.

Working on getting my state machine working for the playable character. Just this simple movement involves 6 states:
1) Standing
2) RunBegin
3) Running
4) RunEnd
5) JumpSquat
6) InAir
A game like Smash Bros melee has over 100 states for their character controller. (rukaidata.com/PM3.6/Captai...)

Update to cave generation:
Last time it would generate a tree structure. Once a branch was created it would never re-join the rest of the cave.
I've now improved it by adding a system so the branches connect and create loops. It's a more natural cave that's better to explore.

The power of camera culling in action:
On the bottom I am zooming in and out of my game. On the top we have a live profiler measuring how long it takes to render the game(yellow bar).
As I zoom out it will grow from <1ms all the way to 10ms.

Today I worked on a camera which can follow the player.
This was inspired by Masahiro Sakurai's video on camera controllers. The basic principle is that the camera shouldn't stay locked on the player's position exactly, but rather it should detach a little bit when jumping.

Today's engine progress update:
A familiar face from my previous game has found himself in my new engine. I managed to get an animation controller working for him.
The workflow is with #aseprite which exports a sprite sheet + data. That data is then used to create the animations in-engine.
