New quickbar is in place. For now this'll do. I think I am gonna add some auto-hiding once I get UI animations going.
Still not sure if the player should decide in which slots new parts getting added cause personally I am kinda into the FIFO style. Less inputs, quicker iteration.

I see what you did there, Prodigy.

Not gonna lie, I'm a little in love with Star Trek: Prodigy.
I was hesitant initially because of the "made for younger audience", but this is just an amazing Trek adventure and I can't wait to see where it goes.

Spawn snapping just got a bit smarter. Some parts of Marble Game are very flexible in their use. Like pipes make sense horizontally and vertically. For such ambiguity, the game now auto-determines the alignment of a connection. Works pretty well.

I always thought people who advocated for ANSI layout were cultists.
And they are.
I'm just one of them now.
It's like this layout was made for coding.

I am truly happy with the state of Saturday Marble Game now.
Building and modifying machines has become so much easier now and while I still want to do so much more, I would almost feel safe to release it like this to the world. But I won't yet. :)

When I thought of being able to move around multiple parts at the same time, I thought how complicated it would be to prevent the player from clipping them into the ground.
But turns out my implementation just automagically takes care of it.

Success! I can now connect procedural tracks to joints as well!
The code is still a bit jank, but I'll clean that up next week.

One big downside of the system is that it's not smart enough to detect neighbors and attempt to connect together to them (as shown in the video).
And due to the extreme flexibility of how parts can be designed and placed, this will never be possible, I'm afraid.

Main logic to spawn parts on joints/connectors of others is in. Uses basic scoring system based on flow direction of marbles through the parts (in/out) and direction (horiz/vert).
It can't be perfect due to some parts being very flexible in their use, but it tries.

Today I am playing with the idea to spawn a new part directly on a joint of another.
Still needs a function to determine the best joint to connect to the selected one, but at least the spawning already works.

The reticle in Marble Game is... actually just an interpunct (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Interpu...) rendered with white text color and an outline.
Coincidentally, that makes it affected by UI scaling which is nice.
But I'll tell everyone I drew this perfect circle myself.

As I am looking around, I wonder which sticks I ordered accidentally. Cause the only color variation the thing has is the SN30 (like the US SNES)... but these look even darker... and I begin to wonder if they maybe swapped some stuff already in the factory...

As I am looking at my Pro, I don't think I got quite the right sticks for them. Should be the color of the DPad and Start/Select. But they match the frame around the face buttons, so... close enough
