Making some quick snakes ideas

LETS GOO!! I was mixing array indexes.

Imagine the possibilities with this :]
Also, future me is going to hate level designing these. I have done ~some~ level bending puzzle design before and its always turned into a 6D paper drawing.

#gamedev and stuff

Getting this time looping has taken me some time. but I have it!
Now items and original input are correctly transferred in time even if a snake gets stopped.
Going backwards is broken again but that's next and then I have my full input controls.

#gamedev

I have been looking at this ascii entity-id version of my levels for the last 5 days because I'm building a save and load system.

Needless to say, I'm going insane.

#gamedev #AAAAAAAAAAA

Thirdly spend a good few hours implementing the option to add multiple snakes. This adds so many options, from time looping, multiple player snakes, snakes that are part of the level and a lot more...

#gamedev

Secondary, I have implemented map loading from a file. I have made it very flexible. This is the file of the map above. I still need to implement things like snake colors, background colors and more but the map loading part is there. All the rest can be further expanded upon.
#gamedev

Some updates to the snake game between the holidays

Firstly, I think I have found the smallest level that I'll be able to use to explain the "go back in time" rule

#gamedev

I have now created snake, but you can also reverse at which point you shrink again. So, I kind of also created the beginning of a Sokoban/Puzzle game.

#gamedev

I'm trying to build my C# simulation/game engine (Vermin) to have full determinism. So, today I have added some Roslyn analyzers that will help me along the way.

This will help me differentiate and force me to consider determinism for every method I make.

My first profiler timeline vs my latest profiler timeline.
The pink box is the actual rendering part.

Today I went from barley rendering 100 individual sprites at ~2 fps to being able to render ~280k individual sprites at 20fps.

It has been a trip through sorting, unsafe dictionary access, and preprocessing data. But now, finally I have reached a point where the bottleneck is drawing them.

2 months ago I got a notification that said I was the top 5% of twenty one pilots listeners. It made me ask the question. How high can I go?

I think Im going to tap out at 0.02% it became a chore hha

Zoomies

TIL that float rounding does not work like I thought it does. `x.5` will round to the closest even number, not just ceil.

This is what plants vs zombies prepared me for all those years ago.

It has come to my attentions that I should post something otherwise people might think this is a bot account.
