Good progress with the lighting system. A bit of tidy up remaining, then moving on to making the terrain an actual physics heightfield. #gamedev

Got my emotional support cat, I can now sort out the lighting system in my engine.

My team has to carry on without me today. I'm afraid there's nothing I can do.

Alright, problems for another day. Need to integrate the landscape with bullet for proper raycasting (so the trees are actually on the surface), the instancing is broken (it's meant to be 20x20 trees) and so is the lighting (they should all be lit the same, obviously aren't).

Working on some terrain generation with Lux as moral support.

Just testing Bluesky's recommended image sizes, as my pixels keep getting squished something fierce.

Oops, missed a call to btConvexHullShape::initializePolyhedralFeatures(). Thanks, Claude.

#devtober Day 31: Last day of Devtober, deep in engine internals. Adding support for different collision shapes: box, cylinder, sphere, convex hull. Something currently very wrong with the convex hull rendering.

#Devtober Day 20: implemented placeholder threat indicators; very work in progress, but it will be crucial for tracking off-screen threats.

#devtober Day 17: Not much today as it was heavy on work & family. Got to play a bit with Helix editor, really enjoying it so far. Currently prototyping the threat indicators, which will highlight allies and hostiles around the player. Hoping this will be more immersive than a minimap/radar.

#devtober Day 7: The bombers, in their most basic shape, are now in-game. Need to write their AI, and make them fire actual torpedoes rather than very slow, very painful bullets.
