Been stuck in "let's wrap this learning project up already". Added a transition from the boot splash to the main menu.

Was more tricky than expected to calculate the logo placement (not the same size on desktop-vs-ipad)

#godot on #tvos

Adding some drag-and-drop.

This feels very satisfying on a mobile device. #godot

Experimenting with custom #godot containers. The top "black bar" is a container that positions content inside "16:9 play area inside iOS safe area" but extends the edges to the screen edge.

So turns out it works well. You can fork #ruffle, bundle with an SWF file, and twiddle with provisioning profiles for 5 hours and voilà. Old #flixel game successfully brought to the desktop.

#gamedev #actionscript

Created a little margin node to help set the iOS safe area insets with #godot: gist.github.com/jkirsteins/5...

I think it might be useful to have some ability to simulate these sizes in the editor, without going to the device each time.

My game is currently played by two bots randomly throwing cards at each other without any strategy. Feels right.

I'm at the stage where a match can be started, played, won or lost, and then replayed. All in multiplayer via WebRTC.

#godot #gamedev #multiplayer

Alright, think I'm done tinkering for now. Good enough, let's put it into the scene now...

And bouncing into view #godot

Testing text effects in #godot. Wavey movement.

I've internalized that multiplayer is hard. I mean I knew it, everybody says so, but I'm still surprised at how many issues I keep having for a very simple game.

I finally have something non janky though. The ability to play these cards rapidly without issues did not come easy 😅

#godot #gamedev

Tried exporting the #godot project to iOS and connect to the desktop. This made me realize that aspect ratios are a thing.

A couple of iterations later, i ended up centering a 16:9 area in whatever the overall window size is, and ignoring the rest.

Looked into the #Godot #multiplayer API.

I set up a little test app, which connects to itself, and allows exchanging turns. Each instance can act as a Human or a Random controller.

Now to plug it to the game UI.

Today's progress was figuring out how to fan cards using a Path2D in #Godot.
