gently caress yeah, pixel physics!

Man there was a cave flyer game called wings or something that I used to play a lot as a kid that was full of that stuff, it was great!

Fake edit: Turns out they made a sequel

honestly my biggest hurdle right now is that GAHAKU is garbage and creating sprites is therefore a massive pain :v:

are there any better pixel art tools yet, or some way to transfer images?

Looked like there were some editing tools uploaded by users, last time I checked. Can't say if they're any better or worse than Gahaku, but it's worth a shot.

yeah I tried out a couple, but most of them are kinda hard to wrap my head around (and also they're all entirely in Japanese)

of the ones I tried, TH_GED easily seemed like the most capable and I'll probably spend some more time trying to understand it.


also, I'm still working on the project!

drawing the collision map is an extremely tedious process with no proper image editing tools, so it's a lot of trial and error :v:

the project is coming along nicely so I don't feel too bad about doubleposting

https://twitter.com/YourComputerSA/status/1260778956375986177?s=20

I've revised the physics and added a ton of stuff. Once I've added switches and scorekeeping I'll probably draw the board and consider it done :toot: What you're seeing in the clip is the pure collision data, and although it's a massive pain to draw all of it in GAHAKU I'm starting to get the hang of it.

Looking good!

This still isn't available in EU store but I'm doing other projects so I'll just wait.

None of the progress on my dungeon-crawler project has actually resulted in things you can see. I'll post a video when I can walk down a hall and turn the corner, heh.

Just got this last night and I am excited to build poo poo. Ain't used BASIC of any kind since I used qBasic to play gorillas, so it'll be interesting to see what I can get going.

Finally got off my rear end and wrote the controller support for this thing, performance is not good though. Drops down to 30fps at around 2000 particles iirc, depending on what those particles are. Got some optimization work to do

In the little bit of profiling I've done, it turns out array accesses are a killer, if you're doing a couple thousand of them a frame at least. Range checking or something I guess

I'm making a futile attempt to generalize my code a bit and make it easier to reuse, but I've hit a wall - is there really no way to make a const/enum accessible to other programs? :(

homeless snail

Yeah, there's no way to export constants. Best you can do is put all your consts and enums in one big block and copy them over, and hope you never have to change them

I don't think it's universal, but most of them seem to

Have SmileBoom said anything about when this is going to be available in Europe again?

Not that I've seen. You're probably better off getting it from the US or Japanese store, because I don't have much faith that they're gonna navigate whatever issues they had with the ratings any time soon. With SB3 it was like two years between the NA and eventual EU release

it's that bad? :stare:

The circumstances with SB3 were a little different, because they actually had to do the localization and stuff in that time, where its already all done with SB4 they just had to pull it for whatever the deal with the ratings was. Smileboom is a small company though and the EU release might not be their top priority
