And with that knowledge it's now possible to plan detours of certain length! Pick a random point with a wanted detour length (from the array of sums), and then from that point find the shorted distance to your next goal (rinse and repeat).

Here's a visualised iterated process:

Found an interesting use-case for Dijkstra algorithm for finding a non-ideal path. Dijkstra algorithm lets us calculate shortest distance to each point in a graph. But shortest path isn't a non-ideal one.
So how do we find a slightly worse path and why would we want to do that?🧵

I recently recorded 1 hour of Mine Crawler prototype gameplay with my wife and made a short trailer ☺️

It showcases both "open-world" wandering around and the duel mode, which I've been developing for the last couple of months.

If you want to try it out, see below! 1/2

Being able to iterate on games and UIs while running a @bevy.org app with dioxus hot-patching is MENTAL. Love it so much!

Testing in on a fractal clock example from @ernerfeldt.bsky.social's egui

Hi! I'd like to show what I've been cooking for the last few weeks: this is a duel mode for my minesweeper-dungeon-cralwer game (don't even ask me why there's multiplayer, let alone PvP).

This is an early prototype, but I'd like to invite people for some playtesting (see below)

Yeah I feel you fellow wheel

quaternions are hard

Productivity's skyrocketing

I tried a new productivity trick today: streaming on twitch 😄
Works great to avoid getting distracted (since I'm being watched 👀), had some really good progress today!

Now, this is how duel arena generation looks like (yet to sort out the bug with SW and NE directions).

Working on a prototype of player duels in my dungeon-crawler-minesweeper game. It's turn-based, where the goal is to reach the center while avoiding mines and navigating yourself through the labyrinth.
I hope to playtest it next month after finishing layout gen, abilities and ui

Brought you a little sneak peek of the next bevy_egui release ☺️

So, in the web version, there appears to be a split-second delay before the explosion animation. To fix that, I had to introduce a new (barely noticeable) "Loading resources" screen, where I temporarily spawn objects with all possible meshes+materials and wait for the pipelines to fully initialise.
